First Test, Karachi, day five: Pakistan 346 & 217-3 beat Bangladesh 288 & 274 by seven wickets
 Hameed celebrates his second hundred of the game |
Yasir Hameed became only the second player in history to make two centuries in his debut Test as Pakistan wrapped up the match at the National Stadium. Hameed added 105 to his first innings 170 to emulate West Indian Lawrence Rowe, who made 214 and 100 against New Zealand in Jamaica 31 years ago.
And it earned him a 500,000 rupee bonus (�5,500) from the Pakistan Cricket Board.
He was eventually bowled off the inside edge by spinner Mohammad Rafique, but Inzamam-ul-Haq and Yousuf Youhana saw Pakistan home.
The game ended in anti-climax as the winning run came when Mashrafe bin Mortaza hurled the ball at the stumps after fielding off his own bowling and the ball ricocheted away for an overthrow.
Pakistan resumed on 112-1, needing only another 105 for victory, after Shabbir Ahmed had tilted the match in their favour by sweeping away the Bangladesh tail on the fourth day for figures of 5-48.
Hameed and Mohammad Hafeez extended their second wicket partnership to 134 before Rafique ended Hafeez'sthree and a half hour innings by bowling him for 50.

But Bangladesh were powerless to curb Hameed's strokeplay and his century duly arrived off 155 balls soon after a drinks break.
It made him only the fourth Pakistani to score two hundreds in the same Test, following Hanif Mohammad, Javed Miandad, now the national team coach, and Wajahatullah Wasti.
He added a 15th boundary before Rafique finally found a way through the 25-year-old's defences, but it took Inzamam and Youhana only 12 more overs to add the 47 left for victory.
Inzamam, playing his first international match since the World Cup, atoned for his first innings duck with 35 not out and Youhana was unbeaten on 15.
