  • Player of the Match
    Najmul Hossain Shanto
A historic win for Bangladesh - The first Test is over, and Bangladesh has made history in Mirpur by beating Pakistan at home for the very first time. They will be celebrating this victory that fans will remember for a long time. The second test between these sides will start on Saturday, May 16th at 4 am GMT, so be sure to join us early for the next game. Goodbye for now. Cheers!
Player of the Match - Najmul Hossain Shanto, the skipper of Bangladesh, is also the Player of the Match for his century in the first innings and his knock of 87 runs in the second innings. He says that he is very happy and proud of the entire team. Adds that they trained hard and everyone stepped up. Mentions that he didn't know that this was their first win over Pakistan at home but calls it a great experience. Shanto shares that their plan was always going to bat first. The way they have been planning and having guys like Rahim, Litton, and Mominul batting in the middle overs gives them a lot of confidence. On declaration, he says that they have a strong bowling attack and with the conditions also favouring, he was pleased with how Rana, Taskin, Taijul, and Mehidy bowled. Shanto further adds that the wicket was a bit tricky to bat in the first hour or so, but Rahim and Mominul batted brilliantly and chose the correct shots. Ends by saying that they need to enjoy this win, and then they will assess the conditions in Sylhet and plan accordingly.
Pakistan's skipper - Shan Masood says that they looked at the conditions and they felt like it's a pacers' wicket, but they failed to put pressure on the opposition. On the effort on the bowlers' performance, he adds that the opposition batters deserve some credit, especially the way Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque played in the first inning. About the two debutants, Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal, he says that they have had a very good start in test cricket, but they have to be consistent and play to their optimum potential. On being asked about the second Test match of the series, Masood says that they have to take the positives from this match and work on the mistakes so that they can make a comeback.
Presentations coming up...
A statement for the Tigers - This wasn't just a win, it was a massive statement. Despite brilliant debut performances from Pakistan’s Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal, Bangladesh stayed patient and struck exactly when it mattered most. The series is off to an explosive start, and while Pakistan will rue their late collapse, Bangladesh walks away with a historic lead and a new sense of belief in the longest format.
A captain’s performance - While the bowlers finished the job, this victory belonged to captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. His magnificent century in the first innings set the tone, and his 87 in the second gave the bowlers enough time to secure the win. Along with Mominul Haque’s consistent scoring, the leadership group showed the intent needed to dominate a high-quality side throughout all five days.
Nahid Rana led the charge - The star of the final act was undoubtedly Nahid Rana. His raw pace and aggressive lines were too much for the Pakistani batters to handle, as he ripped through the middle and lower order to finish with a five-wicket haul. Supported brilliantly by Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed, who shared four wickets between them, Rana ensured that Pakistan’s hopes of a miracle chase vanished in a hurry.
The final session blitz - Coming into the final session, the game was balanced on a knife edge, but Bangladesh blew it wide open with a clinical bowling display. They hunted in a pack, incredibly picking up the final seven wickets in just one session to trigger a massive Pakistani collapse. From a steady position at Tea, the visitors simply had no answers to the relentless pressure and intensity of the Bangladeshi attack.
History made in Mirpur! History has finally been scripted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. Bangladesh have done what they’ve never managed before. Beating Pakistan in a Test match on home soil. It was a victory built on pure grit and a bold declaration that dared Pakistan to chase 268. The Tigers celebrate a monumental moment that will be remembered for generations.

Nahid Rana To Shaheen Afridi OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Nahid Rana wraps things up with a fifer. BANGLADESH WIN BY 104 RUNS AND GO 1-0 UP IN THE SERIES. Rana bangs this into the pitch, on middle, angling into the body of the batter. Shaheen Afridi looks to pull it away, but gets cramped up to free his arms. He takes his eyes off the ball as it pops up off the gloves, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy at short leg takes a dolly. Afridi takes a review more in desperation, but UltraEdge shows a clear spike when the ball is close to the gloves. The on-field call is upheld, and the Bangladesh players are overjoyed in celebration.

Nahid Rana To Noman Ali OUT!
OUT! LBW! Excellent review from Bangladesh. Another big shout for LBW, not given this time! Nahid Rana lands this on the in-between length, on middle, jags back in a long way. Noman Ali stays in his crease and tries to play at that, but does so down the wrong line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits the kneeroll of the back pad. Najmul Hossain Shanto has a long chat with his players and takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows three reds, with the ball hitting the top of middle stump.

Hasan Ali gets stuck in his crease trying to work it across the line, but plays down the wrong line, getting hit on the back pad. There is a massive shout for LBW, and the finger goes up instantly.

Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel have steading things for the visitors, but the hosts know that this is the last recognised batting pair, and if they break this, it would leave the game open once again for them.

Chance of a run-out, but Mohammad Rizwan does well to return in time. Full-length delivery, Mohammad Rizwan flicks it softly toward the right of the mid-wicket region and sets off for a single. Saud Shakeel spots that the fielder is quick on the ball and, for that reason, drops the plan. However, by that time, Rizwan is at the halfway mark, and he returns and dives to get back at the striker's end. Also, Joy, who goes from silly point to back up the, accidentally knocks the bails off before the throw comes.

The UltraEdge shows no bat involvement, but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is hitting the off stump, but the impact on the pad is umpire's call.

Taskin Ahmed with the double whammy, or is it? No, Mohammad Rizwan survives with a good review. This is on a good length and on middle, nips back in sharply. Mohammad Rizwan looks to defend it from the crease but gets beaten on the inside edge, and the ball hits his pad. There is a massive shout for LBW, and Kumar Dharmasen takes his time before raising the finger. However, Rizwan takes the review and Ball Tracking shows that the ball is missing the leg stump. Lucky escape for Rizwan.
Two wickets in two overs for Bangladesh after Tea and they are on top now. Mohammad Rizwan comes out to the middle. Also, Shadman Islam is going off the field as he hurt his chest while taking the catch.

Taskin Ahmed To Salman Agha OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Bangladesh are cruising right now. Both the set batters are in the hut, and they can now go full throttle to charge the new batters. This is a back-of-a-length delivery, outside off, on the sixth stump, not much movement on this one. Salman Agha rolls his wrists to cut it away, but plays his shot pretty late. The ball flies flat off the outside and goes straight into the cusp of Shadman Islam near his chest, who is standing at the third slip region. Pakistan are now five men down.

Taijul Islam To Abdullah Fazal OUT!
OUT! LBW! Huge appeal for LBW, but the umpire remains unmoved. However, Taijul Islam seems pretty confident with the appeal and his skipper, Shanto, takes the review. Taijul Islam comes over the wicket for the left-hander and bowls shorter once again, pitching it outside off and turning in sharply. Abdullah Fazal stays on his back foot and tries to work it away, but gets beaten on the inside edge and gets thumped on his pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat involvement and but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the leg pole. The umpire has to revise his decision and Bangladesh get their crucial breakthrough. Pakistan need 149 runs to win.
Is that out? A massive appeal for LBW, but not given by the umpire. However, this one looks really close and Najmul Hossain Shanto takes the review. UltraEdge confirms not bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The Bangladeshi players are delighted as they know the importance of this wicket.

Taijul Islam starts off with a fuller one, wide outside off. Salman Agha crouches a bit low and steers it past the backward point fielder for a couple of runs. Also, that will bring up the 50-run partnership between these two batters.
We are back for the final session! The Bangladesh players are in a huddle just outside the ropes, where Najmul Hossain Shanto is trying to pump them up before taking the field. Abdullah Fazal is coming out to continue batting, alongside Salman Agha, which is a good sign. Taijul Islam to start proceedings with the ball. It's time to get going.
... DAY 5, SESSION 3 ...
Pakistan fight through as drama builds - Pakistan handled that session well, with Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais laying a solid platform through a 54-run opening stand before Bangladesh struck back. Shan Masood failed to make any impact, undone by a superb delivery from Nahid Rana, but Fazal continued to impress with another composed fifty, despite surviving a huge scare when Mehidy Hasan Miraz rattled his stumps only for the bails to stay put. Fazal and Salman Agha then calmly guided Pakistan through the remainder of the session, trimming the target down to 152 runs. However, there was some concern right at the end as Fazal looked uncomfortable physically, and his availability for the final session could prove crucial. Bangladesh know that a couple of quick wickets could swing the game dramatically, given Pakistan's thin lower order, setting up a fascinating finish. Join us at 9 am GMT for the final session.
A session of grit and survival - Session Summary - 110 runs and 2 wickets in 27 overs! The contest remains finely balanced after a hard-fought session where Pakistan showed plenty of resilience against Bangladesh's spinners. While a few deliveries have stayed low and some have sharply turned, the surface is still far from unplayable. Abdullah Fazal has been hugely impressive on debut, displaying solid technique along with the confidence to play his shots when needed. With one session left, every result is still possible, though at the moment, the draw appears to be the frontrunner.

Welcome back for the second session of Day 5. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal will resume their innings. Taskin Ahmed to start with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
Bangladesh and Pakistan trade blows - Pakistan will be pleased with how they controlled that session, with Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi striking early before Noman Ali finally removed the stubborn Najmul Hossain Shanto, triggering a collapse of 3 wickets for just 24 runs. Bangladesh then declared unexpectedly, leaving Pakistan a tricky period before Lunch, and the hosts responded instantly as Taskin Ahmed removed Imam-ul-Haq in the very first over. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also extracted sharp turn and bounce straight away, and with his outstanding fourth-innings record at home, he could prove decisive in what is shaping into a thrilling finish. Join us at 6.40 am GMT for the second session.
A classic finish brewing here - At Lunch on the final day, this Test is beautifully poised, with all three results still firmly on the table. Bangladesh looked to have shared the session evenly after adding some valuable runs and setting Pakistan a challenging target, but the hosts managed to land an early breakthrough right before the interval, nudging the momentum slightly in their favour. With the weather staying clear enough for uninterrupted play, the overcast skies continue to assist the seamers, and the new ball could become a major factor in the next session. Pakistan will still believe the chase is within reach, while Bangladesh know that a couple of quick wickets could completely swing the game their way. A gripping battle awaits after the break.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz To Azan Awais
Just wide! Miraz bowls another arm ball, full and on middle, angles in. Azan Awais gets forward to defend but gets an inside edge onto his pads. It flies just past the diving short leg fielder and the batters get a single. THAT WILL BE LUNCH ON DAY 5!

Taskin Ahmed To Abdullah Fazal
Big shout for caught behind, but nothing doing! Short of a length and in the corridor of uncertainty, shaping away too, Abdullah Fazal has a poke at it but just gets beaten on the outside edge. A bit of a discussion but Shanot does not take the review.

Taskin Ahmed To Imam-ul-Haq OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Taskin Ahmed provides the crucial early breakthrough for Bangladesh. He goes a bit fuller and bowls this in the channel outside off, nips back just a shy bit. Imam-ul-Haq gets half-forward to block but gets a thin outside edge behind, where Litton Das makes no mistake. Pakistan are 3/1, chasing 268 runs.
