Bangladesh tightened their grip on the second Test with dominant performances. Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim smashed centuries as Bangladesh posted a total of 476 in the first innings. The visiting team reached 98 for five at the end of the second day’s play. Bangladesh took the upper hand in the match.
The tremors caused immediate concern among spectators and officials. Fans in the stands moved toward open areas, with some leaving the venue entirely, while others gathered closer to the playing area. Dressing rooms were vacated, and members of the media evacuated the media centre as a precaution.
The stoppage lasted only a few minutes. After safety checks and discussions among officials, play resumed, with commentators noting that even the commentary box had felt the vibrations.
