Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto’s century and 91 from Mominul Haque led the hosts to score 413 in their first innings.<\/p>\n
Pakistan opener Azan Awais, 21, hit a century on his Test debut as the tourists made 386 in reply, a deficit of 27 runs.<\/p>\n
After significant rain interruptions on days three and four, the Tigers declared on 240-9 – Shanto (87) and Monimul (56) again starring – before lunch on the final day to try and set up a push for victory.<\/p>\n
Abdullah Fazal made a defiant 66 but did not receive enough support as Pakistan failed to bat out the day for a draw, with Taskin Ahmed and Taijul Islam picking up two wickets each.<\/p>\n
“Very happy,” said Tigers captain Shanto. “Proud of all the guys the way we played.<\/p>\n
“We declared because we have a quality bowling attack and in these conditions Rana, Taskin, Taijul bowled really well and that’s what I want from them.”<\/p>\n
