The home side were 39 runs infront as they finished on 262 for five having earlier dismissed the tourists for 223. Left-arm spinner Manjarul Islam Rana was the other wicket-taker for the A side. Manjarul also shone with the bat by making 29 as his team could add only 22 runs to their overnight total of 201 for seven.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to get an idea of the day's events as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) again failed to provide a proper scoresheet for the media.

Ever since the A team's tour began, the BCB has only sent unclear, hardly readable, spotted photocopied sheets to the different newspaper offices. Yesterday they sent a brief score with only patchy information and misspelled names of players and teams.

It's difficult to fathom how the responsible person(s) at the BCB confidently named the teams Bangladesh and Pakistan!

The score-sheet is extremely important as there is great interest across the nation regarding the performance of the A side in Pakistan. The team management should also have had the common sense of sending scoresheets through fax or email as the Pakistan Cricket Board's official website updates the scores a day late.
