Tons from Babar, Shan put Pakistan in command against Bangladesh

RAWALPINDI: Sparkling hundreds from Babar Azam and Shan Masood put Pakistan in command against Bangladesh on the second day of the first Test at Rawalpindi on Saturday.

Azam scored a career best unbeaten 143 for his third successive hundred in as many Tests -- fifth of a burgeoning career -- while opener Shan Masood made 100 as they pulverised a hapless Bangladesh attack at Rawalpindi stadium.
