Shakib and Nafees prop up Bangladesh
Shakib Al-Hasan cracked a career-best 108 not out and Shahriar Nafees hit a solid 97 to lead Bangladesh's recovery on the opening day of the second and final cricket Test against Pakistan here on Saturday.
Bangladesh was struggling at 43 for four following paceman Aizaz Cheema's three-wicket burst in the morning before reaching 234 for five in its first innings at stumps, thanks to Shakib and Nafees.
The left-handed pair denied Pakistan any success for 51 overs as they added 180 runs, Bangladesh's highest stand for the fifth wicket in Tests.
Nafees looked set to complete his second Test century before falling in the last session, caught behind off his gloves off paceman Umar Gul after hitting 12 fours in his 177-ball knock.
Former captain Shakib moved from 89 to 100 in one over off Gul and completed his second Test hundred when he cut the paceman for a single.
His previous best was 100 against New Zealand in Hamilton last year.
Shakib has so far hit 14 fours in his 168-ball knock.

#BanvPak 2nd Test, Day 2: Pakistan 87-1 and trail by 251 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings. Taufeeq 44*, Azhar 26*.
Match has been stopped due to bad light and it might also be END of Day 2 as there is very grim chance that light will get better.

Taufeeq Umar steadies Pakistan in Bangladesh Test
DHAKA: Taufeeq Umar closed in on a second successive half-century to steady Pakistan on the second day of the second and final Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Sunday.
Scorecard
The left-handed opener, who scored 61 in the opening Test in Chittagong, was unbeaten on 44 as Pakistan reached 87/1 in their first innings at stumps after bowling out Bangladesh for 338.
Azhar Ali was 26 not out when play was called off due to bad light.
Pakistan lost in-form Mohammad Hafeez before Umar and Azhar put on 64 runs for the unbroken second-wicket stand, with Umar hitting eight fours in his 79-ball knock so far.
Bangladesh paceman Nazmul Hossain, returning to the Test side after seven years, struck with his first delivery when he had Hafeez caught behind for only 14, a stark contrast to the opener's 143 in the last Test.
Bangladesh, resuming at 234/5, earlier lost well-set Shakib Al Hasan (144) and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (40) off successive balls before being bowled out in the afternoon session.
The hosts were strongly placed at 305/5 before losing their last five wickets for 33, with Shakib's dismissal starting the slide.
Shakib was run out following a mix-up with his skipper as Umar hit the stumps at the non-striker's end from mid-wicket, while Rahim was caught down the leg-side by wicket-keeper Adnan Akmal off paceman Umar Gul.
