Expect another hot and humid day in Rawalpindi, with the maximum temperature hovering in the mid 30s and minimum in the mid 20s. The likelihood of rain is low, which means we should hopefully get an uninterrupted 90 overs of play on what should be a riveting final day.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Wicket In 2nd Over Of Day

Bangladesh have begun their pursuit of an unprecedented win over Pakistan in right earnest on Day 5. Hasan Mahmud has Pak skipper Shan Masood caught behind by 'keeper Litton Das. It was given not out by the on-field umpire, but Najmul Hossain Shanto went for the DRS straight away and is proved right. The hosts are two down with just 28 runs on the board, still 89 runs behind Bangladesh.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Abdullah, Babar Rebuilding

Opener Abdullah Shafique has been weathering the Bangla pace-bowling storm well since the morning. He has been joined by the much-vaunted Babar Azam in the middle, and the duo is batting watchfully to try and quell further inroads.

PAK Score: 54/2 after 21 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Shakib Al Hasan Strikes

Pakistan have lost two wickets in the space of nine balls, and suddenly find themselves in bonafide trouble. Nahid Rana cleans up Babar Azam, and Shakib Al Hasan then has new batter Saud Shakeel stumped to leave the hosts four down with more than 40 runs still needed to erase the deficit. Can Bangladesh pull off a historic win from here?

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: PAK In Deep Trouble

The Bangla Tigers are unstoppable at the moment. After the pacers, it is the spinners' turn to dent the Pakistan batting line-up. Shakib gets rid of the well-set Abdullah Shafique to claim his second scalp, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz joins the party by snaring Agha Salman for a golden duck. The hosts' woes have compounded in Rawalpindi, and now need a resolute effort from the tail to avoid an embarrassing home defeat.

PAK Score: 105/6 after 34 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: First Session Goes Visitors' Way

Lunch has been called in Rawalpindi, and what a session it was for the Bangladesh bowlers. Be it the spinner or pacers, they all combined to extract juice from a surface that seemed to be placid in the previous four days. Pakistan lost five wickets and could only add 75 runs in the bargain. As it stands, the match seems poised for a historic Bangladesh victory, unless the hosts' tail wags big time. We will be back soon with post-lunch updates from the riveting Test.

PAK Score at Lunch: 108/6 in 36 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Shaheen Shah Afridi Trapped In Front

The spinners continue in the post-lunch session and Mehidy Hasan Miraz strikes soon. Shaheen Shah Afridi is caught plumb in front with one that stays low, and the seventh Pakistan wicket falls with the hosts still six runs in the arrears. Naseem Shah has now joined Mohammad Rizwan, and the wicketkeeper-batter will desperate for some support to spark an unlikely fightback.

PAK Score: 111/7 after 38 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Mohammad Rizwan Shepherding Tail

Bangladesh are zoning in slowly, but surely. Pakistan are eight down and barely in the lead, with keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan taking most of the strike to shield Khurram Shahzad. Earlier, Naseem Shah could not resist playing an aerial shot against Shakib Al Hasan, and the wily left-arm spinner's flight and guile was enough to fox Shah and have him caught at short midwicket.

PAK Score: 134/8 after 46 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Fifty For Rizwan

Waging a lone battle against the Bangladeshi bowlers, Mohammad Rizwan has notched up his half-century. The in-form keeper-batter is not out at 50 runs off 70 balls. He is yet to be dismissed in this Test and is the sole figure standing in the way of an unprecedented win for the visitors.

PAK Score: 141/8 after 52 overs

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Seven Wickets For Mehidy-Shakib

And that's that. Mehidy Hasan Miraz dislodges last man Mohammad Ali and Pakistan are all out for a paltry 146 runs in the third innings. Miraz finishes with four wickets and his spin twin Shakib Al Hasan snares three, as Bangladesh reach the doorstep of a truly historic win. They need 30 runs in the fourth innings to do it, and it would take something extraordinary to halt the visitors' march from here.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: BAN In Touching Distance Of Win

Bangladesh openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam have gotten off to a steady start, and that's all that was needed in a chase of mere 30 runs.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5 Live Score: Architects Of BAN Win

It was an all-round performance from Bangladesh that saw the strife-marred nation waltz to its maiden Test win over Pakistan. The foundation was laid by a stupendous batting effort, with Mushfiqur Rahim essaying a 191-run knock and opener Shadman Islam too scoring 93. And then it was the bowlers, led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan. The spin twins accounted for seven of the 10 wickets to fall in the third innings, helping the visitors bowl Pakistan out for a mere 146 runs. And the finishing touches were applied by openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman. The 30-run target was rattled off in 6.3 overs, and history was created.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5: What POTM Mushfiqur Rahim Said

Mushfiqur Rahim is adjudged the Player of the Match, for his game-changing knock of 191 runs in the second innings. Here's what he has to say:

Mushfiqur Rahim: "This is one of my finest (knocks) so far, because we haven't done that well overseas. All the players prepared well in Pakistan and back home as well. Before the Test series, there was a two and a half months gap. All the players and management were there, the other white-ball players were playing in the World Cup. I'm thankful to the coaching staff and management. When I meet all these guys, it's a luxury for him (Najmul Hossain Shanto) and I try to give my best. Doing well for my country inspires me. I want to make an announcement, want to donate my prize money as there's been flood back in Bangladesh."

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5: What Losing Captain Shan Masood Said

Shan Masood: "Never to make an excuse, it (the pitch) didn't play the way we thought it would. Also the weather it had been around in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, it rained around 8-9 days before the first day of play. Firstly looking at the pitch, we expected it to do a bit more. With three pace bowlers, they were gonna be pushed to the limit. At the end of the day, we got it wrong.

"Hindsight, looking at the declaration, we wanted to push the game forward. Also with the ball and in the field, we could have done better to keep them at par. It's a misconception, with the way it was going to take a lot.

"When you are playing for a draw, funny things can happen. A lot can happen under pressure. There have been mistakes and we have to do better when we play next.

"There's always room for a spinner, we lost Aamer Jamal who does well with both bat and ball. In Sydney, Sajid Khan played, going with four pacers didn't work in this game. There have been different pitches produced, it's a huge lesson for us on what to expect from our own conditions. The key is to consider the conditions and not make the same mistakes we have made here."

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5: What Winning Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto Said

Najmul Hossain Shanto: "It's very special, last night I spoke with my wife. She said if we win, it will be very good and luckily, we won today. It's massive, we had never won here, but we believed before the start of the series and we did really well. Especially in the last 10-15 days, we have worked really hard.

"Credit goes to all the bowlers, Nahid bowled really well, Shakib was also good and Mehidy bowled with a lot of control and bowled the right lines and lengths. Playing after a long time it's difficult for a opener but the way he (Shadman) and Zakir batted, it really helped our team. Hopefully, they continue their form.

"Mushfiqur for the last 15-17 years has done really well and he is not tiring, he is playing with the same intensity. He played really well in these hot conditions. I'm not only giving credit to him but all the fifteen members of our squad."

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 5: That's All!

With that, our coverage of the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh comes to an end. We will be back with live updates from the second and final Test, which will also be played in Rawalpindi starting August 30. Until then, goodbye.
