Liton Das paid credit to the contributions made by Miraz and Mahmud at the conclusion of play and said his innings was just behind his career-best hand of 141 against Sri Lanka in 2022.

Compared to his bowling, Miraz’s batting talents are often downplayed. But yesterday, with Bangladesh teetering on the brink on 26-6, the 26-year-old showed his class.

A day that had Bangladesh staring at ignominy in the morning ended with them in the ascendency, owing to the tremendous resolve of Liton Das and Mehedi Hasan Miraz as their historic stand fueled the tourists’ fightback on the third day of the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi yesterday.

Liton demonstrated the shrewdness of his game during two immense partnerships: first with Miraz and then with an unlikely Hasan Mahmud.

The 29-year-old became the first batter to have scored three centuries as a number 6 or 7 batter after coming in to bat with the team’s score below 50 runs, and in this regard, he must thank Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud.

Liton Das and Mehedi Hasan Miraz achieved a never before done feat in Test cricket today, becoming the only pair in history to form a partnership of over 150 runs for the seventh or lower wicket after the team had lost six wickets for less than 50 runs on the board.
