Bangladesh cricket team's wicketkeeper batsman Liton Das scored a stunning century in the second Test match against Pakistan. On the third day of the second Test in Rawalpindi, Lytton scored a towering century in the team's first innings as Bangladesh made a strong comeback from the loss of 6 wickets for just 26 runs and brought the match back into the game. This is Lytton's fourth century in his Test career, while the second time he has scored a century against Pakistan. Meanwhile, Liton also made a century record partnership with Mehdi Hasan Miraj.
Saved the team by scoring a century
The Bangladesh team, leading 1-0 in the Test series, ran into trouble in the second Test. Like Pakistan, their top order failed once again and the Pakistani fast bowlers took 6 wickets in the first hour of the day. Khurram Shahzad took 4 wickets and Mir Hamza took 2 wickets to break the back of Bangladeshi batting. In such a situation, Liton Das, who was batting at number 7, took over the innings and scored a brilliant century to take away the joy of Pakistan's victory. Liton Das scored 138 runs off 228 balls.

Lytton completed his century in 171 balls in the third session of the day. The special thing is that when Lytton was just 17 runs away from the century, Bangladesh's 8th wicket fell and the number 10 batsman was at the crease with him. Also there was a tea break. Coming into the third session, Lytton still managed Bentig and brought up his century without much time. He completed his fourth Test century with a four off Abrar Ahmed, while his second century against Pakistan.
Together with Mehidi handled the innings
Liton Das scored a huge century but was also well supported by Mehdi Hasan Miraz. Both these batsmen dominated the innings when 6 wickets fell for 26 runs. Both of them first dealt brilliantly with the onslaught of the Pakistani fast bowlers and then started hitting the Pakistani bowlers. In the last match as well, both the batsmen gave the lead to the team and this time saved the team by adding 165 runs for the 7th wicket. Mehidi was dismissed after coming close to a century in the second Test in a row. He was dismissed for 77 runs in the last Test match and this time his wicket fell on 78 runs.
