Bangladesh vs Pakistan| WATCH: Mohammad Rizwan-Litton Das clash sparks drama in Sylhet Test

The incident happened during the 72nd over of Pakistan’s record chase of 437 on the penultimate day of the second Test at Sylhet.

Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan and Bangladesh's Litton Das were engaged in a heated exchange during the fourth day of the second cricket Test at Sylhet on Tuesday (May 19).

The incident happened during the 72nd over of Pakistan’s chase of 437 runs on the penultimate day of the Test.

After defending a full-length delivery, Rizwan appeared disturbed due to a movement near the sight-screen and immediately flagged the issue with umpire Allahudien Paleker.

However, keeper Das, raised the tempo and was seen having a verbal altercation with Rizwan immediately.

As per the conversation picked by stump microphone, Litton asked Rizwan “What are you doing?”

Rizwan, in response, pointed at the movement behind sight-screen saying “Look, look, he’s standing there.”

The matter did not end there as Das taunted Rizwan again by saying “Why are you looking over there? Focus on your batting here", to which the Pakistani batter replied, “Is that your job, mine, or the umpire’s?

Leg umpire Richard Kettleborough intervened quicky to bring sanity as the day's play continued without any further drama.

Pakistan ended ended day four on 316 for seven with Rizwan unbeaten on 75, needing another 121 runs for victory in what would be a record chase on the fifth and final day.

Pakistan had slumped to 162 for five and were heading towards a tame defeat before Rizwan and Salman Agha put on 134 runs to raise hopes of Test cricket's highest chase.

West Indies currently hold the record for the 418 they scored to beat Australia in Antigua in 2003, while Pakistan have never successfully chased more than 377.

Bangladesh, who won the opener of the two-match series, also closed in on back-to-back Test series victories over Pakistan -- having whitewashed them 2-0 on Pakistani soil in 2024.
