Frequent rains across the country under the influence of cyclone grains. The sky of Mirpur Shere Bengal is also heavy since morning. Mehdi Hasan Miraj-Zaker Ali Anik batted for Bangladesh despite the rain. Bangladesh is moving towards the lead after overcoming the fear of defeat in the seventh wicket with a record pair of 138 runs between the two.

However, after the mid-day break, the ball was not played for more than 5 overs in the third and last session after the second session was stopped due to rain. The day's play has been called off due to low light.
Bangladesh scored 283 runs for 7 wickets in 85 overs before the end of the day's play. The lead increased to 81 runs. Mehdi Hasan Miraj is unbeaten on 171 balls with 87 runs. At the other end, Naeem Hasan survived for 16 runs off 28 balls. Play is scheduled to start at 9:45 a.m. today, 15 minutes ahead on the fourth day. Although rain is still forecast today.
After winning the toss and batting at the start of the ongoing Dhaka Test, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 106 runs by the Proteas. The hosts had to score at least 202 runs to avoid losing the innings. After the team lost 2 wickets in a row at the head of 4 runs, the fear of losing the innings sat well in the Bangladesh camp. However, in the late afternoon yesterday, the hosts returned to the fight against Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mushfiq.
The morning of the third day was a nightmare. Tigers lost 3 wickets in 7 overs. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mushfiq, the two unbeaten batsmen of the previous day, returned to score 12 runs on the scoreboard. Liton Das also failed. Once again the fear of losing the innings was looming. However, Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Zaker Ali Anik wrote a new story of resistance. A flash of light was seen in the darkness of the clouds.
In the seventh wicket, these two made a record partnership of 138 runs off 245 balls. The pair is the highest for any wicket against South Africa. Both have seen personal fifty. Zaker Ali was caught LBW by Keshav Maharaj but another unbeaten batsman Miraj tried to extend the lead with Naeem.
Before this, the disaster started for Bangladesh when they came out to bat at the beginning of the day. The fate of Bangladesh in this Test depended on the victory of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudul Hasan, who were unbeaten on the previous day. But they disappointed.
Kagizo Rabada's catch behind the wicket brought back the victory. After one ball, Mushfiq was bowled by Rabadar's inswinging ball. However, Mushfiqur was bowled like this in the first innings of the Test. Mushfiqur stopped for 33 runs before Jay departed for 40 runs. Liton Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj were trusted at the crease in cloudy weather in Mirpur.
However, Liton Das left after that. Keshav Maharaj's swing ball touched Lytton's bat-gloves and went to wicketkeeper Kyle Verena. No one made a strong appeal. Aiden Markram took the review with great reluctance, whether on Vereiner's insistence or not. Liton was out by that. Next is the time of Zakir and Miraj.
What is in the constitution about the removal of the president?
Miraj has been the savior with the bat once again in the need of the team. He is on his way to a personal century by picking up the ninth fifty of his Test career. How much target Bangladesh can give to the visiting Proteas also depends on the savior Mirage.
