[Watch] Shan Masood's Hilarious Fielding Leaves Pakistan Players Disappointed In 2nd Test

Pakistan's Test skipper Shan Masood had a forgettable moment on the field, as he dropped an easy catch to give Hasan Mahmud a lifeline during the ongoing Test against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. His poor fielding effort left several Pakistan players unimpressed, and they openly expressed their frustration.

The incident occurred during the 75th over of Bangladesh's first innings when Mahmud was batting alongside the centurion, Litton Das. In a bid to break the ninth wicket stand between the two, Masood handed the ball to Khurram Shahzad, who had already bagged a five-wicket haul.

After keeping things tight and conceding two runs off his first three balls, Shahzad bowled a full-length delivery, inviting Mahmud for a drive. As the batter went for it, he fell in the trap, with the ball going straight to Shan Masood, stationed at the short cover.

However, unfortunately for Pakistan, the veteran cricketer dropped a sitter, letting his team down at a crucial juncture of the match. Abrar Ahmed and Saim Ayub were visibly frustrated by his lazy effort, as they expressed their emotions while fielding.

Pakistan get a shaky start after Bangladesh post 262

Riding on Litton's sublime century and a magnificent knock from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh ensured a tremendous fightback following a serious batting collapse. The Tigers posted 262 runs in their first innings, conceding a lead of only 12 runs to the home team.

In response, the hosts once again lost Abdullah Shafique cheaply, as Hasan Mahmud removed him for three runs in the second over. Khurram Shahzad, who was promoted as the night watchman, was Mahmud's second victim, with the fast bowler cleaning him up for a duck.

At stumps on day 3, Pakistan were reeling at nine for two, with the in-form Saim Ayub batting on 6*.
