Pakistan declared their first innings on 448-6 Thursday after Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel hit brilliant hundreds on the second day of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.

Rizwan and Shakeel added 240 runs for the fifth wicket which helped Pakistan recover from a faltering start, losing three wickets for 16 runs on Wednesday.

Shaheen Shah Afridi cracked two sixes and a boundary in a quickfire 29 not out.

Pacers Hasan Mahmud (2-70) and Shoriful Islam (2-77) were the pick of Bangladesh bowlers.

The second and final match of the series will also be played in Rawalpindi from August 30.
