Optimism can be a great virtue to possess in cricket, albeit much less so if one is associated with Pakistan cricket. Abrar Ahmed had to rush to the centre half-ready on Monday after the hosts lost two wickets in succession and his trouble with the equipment had the entire Bangla team snickering.

Pakistan kicked off Day 4 with flying colours as Shan Masood and Saim Ayub struck six boundaries within the first half-hour of play despite an unnerving overnight score of 9/2. However, the inevitable collapse quickly followed as the hosts were reduced from 47/2 to 81/6 before Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha regained some control with a stable partnership through to Lunch. Upon resumption, Hasan Mahmud returned to the attack and took just five deliveries to break the 55-run stand by having Rizwan nick behind, followed by the wicket of Mohammad Ali for a golden duck. The sudden loss of wickets evidently left Abrar Ahmad surprised and the ensuing kerfuffle injected some laughter into an intense on-field battle.

The Pakistani tailender was seen jogging into the playing area with the helment not properly done and the gloves still in hands while the bat was tucked underneath his arm, in an attempt to avoid being timed out. While Abrar fulfilled his purpose, it did involve fumbling and dropping the gloves as he walked past the boundary cushions which as enough to ignite some giggles. Shakib Al Hasan, who was waiting with the ball in hand, immediately broke into a wide grin and offered an inaudible comment while the Tigers' reserve players on the bench reciprocated the former skipper with fits of laughter.

Twitterati was quick to see the funny side of things as well and took to social media to comment on the same.
