Bangladesh recover to seal series win over Pakistan
Second Test, Rawalpindi (day five of five)
Pakistan 274 (Ayub 58) & 172 (Mahmud 5-43)
Bangladesh 262 (Das 138) & 185-4 (Zakir 40)
Bangladesh won by six wickets; win series 2-0
Bangladesh held their nerve in a tricky run-chase to beat Pakistan in the second Test in Rawalpindi and complete their first-ever series win over the hosts.
Chasing 185 for their third-highest successful Test run-chase, the Tigers were composed as they sealed a famous six-wicket win.
It completed a remarkable turnaround for Bangladesh, who had slipped to 26-6 in their first innings before Litton Das (138) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (78) put on 165 for the seventh wicket to help the tourists to 262 - a deficit of just 12 runs.
Seamer Hasan Mahmud took 5-43 and 21-year-old fast bowler Nahid Rana, who hit bowling speeds in excess of 93mph, returned 4-44 as Pakistan were bundled out for 172 inside 47 overs in their second innings.
That set up Bangladesh's fifth-day run-chase and all of their top six passed 20 to secure a victory which moves them to fourth in the World Test Championship table, ahead of fifth-placed England.
The top two sides - currently India and Australia - will meet in the final at Lord's next summer.
Pakistan, who host England for three Tests in October, are eighth and are now winless at home in 10 Tests - their worst run since an 11-game stretch between 1969 and 1975.
