At lunch on the second day of the first Test here on Thursday, Pakistan reached 256-4 thanks to the efforts of Mohammed Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, who frustrated Bangladeshi spinners.

As play continued on the second day, Shakeel and Rizwan were undefeated at 57 and 24, respectively, with 158/4 on the scoreboard.

As Rizwan challenged Bangladeshi bowlers with his fast-paced blow, the left-hander took center stage.

With two boundaries in the next ball, Rizwan finished his half-century in 63 balls with a boundary off Nahid Rana.

As he approached his 80s after hitting more than 150 balls, Shakeel remained unaffected on the opposite end.

When the first session came to a conclusion, Shakeel was at 86 and Rizwan was still undefeated at 89.

Previous to this, the pair did a great job of keeping Pakistan on course with an undefeated 44-run partnership after Bangladesh responded with the highly sought-after scalp of Saim Ayub, who amassed 56 off 98 deliveries with the aid of four fours and a six.

Together with Saim, Shakeel scored 98 runs for the fourth wicket, forming another significant partnership for Pakistan.

Prior to this, Pakistan lost three wickets in nine overs after being placed to bat first, which was a catastrophic beginning.

Due to the soggy outfield caused by overnight rain in the city, the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh was delayed in its start.

With Hasan Mahmud out for a superb flying catch by Zakir Hasan, Pakistan lost their opening batsman Abdullah Shafique (2) in the fourth over.

Leading batsman Shan Masood (6) and superstar Babar Azam (0) were taken out by Shoriful Islam, leaving Pakistan trailing 16-3.

Right up until Saud joined him, Saim Ayub clutched onto one end of the stick, and the two of them worked together to help Pakistan recover.

with halftime, Pakistan’s score was 81-3, with Saim and Saud still unbeaten with 42 and 28, respectively.

In case you missed it, the day was intended to last 30 minutes, but only 48 overs were bowled today due to the delayed start of the game. Still, only 41 years could be bowled because to the poor light, significantly curtailing the activity.

August 21 to September 4, when the two matches in the series will take place at the same location, is when the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) will culminate.

In the 2023–25 ICC World Test Championship, Pakistan is presently ranked sixth. In the competition, they have participated in two away series; they have defeated Australia 3-0 and defeated Sri Lanka 2-0.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
