Bangladesh dominated Day 1 of the first Test match against Pakistan at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, finishing the day with 301 runs for 4 wickets. After losing two early wickets, the team stabilized with a remarkable 170-run partnership between captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque. Shanto scored 101 runs off 130 balls, marking his 9th Test century and becoming the first Bangladeshi captain to achieve this against Pakistan. Haque narrowly missed his century, scoring 92 runs before being dismissed. The batting unit maintained a consistent scoring rate, with Mushfiqur Rahim not out on 48 runs as Bangladesh scored 101, 100, and 100 runs in each session respectively. Pakistan's bowlers, including Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali, each took a wicket but struggled to contain the scoring, leaving them eager to make a comeback on Day 2.
