Taufeeq Umar stroked a century and Azhar Ali a half-century as Pakistan closed day three of the second and final Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka on 292 for three.Taufeeq Umar (Urdu: توÙیق عمر) (born 20 June 1981 in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricketer who was a regular Test opening batsman for three seasons, before being dropped ahead of the 2004–05 season. Unusually for a Pakistani player, Umar has played more Tests than ODIs, as he was not given a prolonged run in the ODI side until 2003, when he played eight ODIs in a row. However, he only missed two of 24 Tests played between August 2001 and April 2004, and after 17 Tests his batting average had reached 48.03 after he made four scores above 50 in the two-Test series with South Africa [2]. Possessing excellent temperament, he remains unique amongst Pakistani openers in his ability to concentrate for long periods and his ability to build innings. With exquisite drives either side of the wicket, a formidable cut and pull shot in the armory and possessing the natural gift of timing, he seemed the very answer to Pakistan\'s opening problem especially against a full strength South African a Nasir Hossain’s 41 was the highlight of a dismal effort by the hosts.Abdur Rehman was the pick of the Pakistan attack with three wifor just nine runs, and it was his removal of Nasir that ended Bangladesh’s misery just before tea.ckets Saeed Ajmal (three for 40), Aizaz Cheema (two for 35) and Umar Gul (two for 33) were also among the wickets for the tourists Bassesterrre, Pakistani opener Taufeeq Umar has hit a chancy knock of 97 runs and is still unbeaten with Pakistan leading West Indies from 251 runs, Pakistan was on 202 for 3 after the.
