Pakistan succumbed to their first ever test defeat against Bangladesh on Sunday after fielding an attack, which did not contain a single frontline spinner.

In addition, Shakib Al Hasan was fined 10% of his match fee and a demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct. Shakib threw the ball at Rizwan in the 33rd over of the second innings after the latter had backed away.

Habibul Bashar and Alok Kapali, members of the Bangladesh team that lost the Multan Test against Pakistan in 2003 have their say on Tigers' Rawalpindi triumph.

There are so many heroes in Bangladesh’s first-ever Test win against Pakistan after 13 unsuccessful attempts. The only occasion the Tigers came close to winning before this was in Multan in 2003 when a portly Inzamamul Haq robbed them with an unbeaten 138 in the second innings, with Pakistan winning by one wicket.

"We all are disappointed, the whole of Pakistan is disappointed," said Masood, who has lost all four matches as Test captain since being appointed last year.

"We are paying tribute to the individuals who recently passed away in our nation during the protest and we are praying for their souls," Najmul said after his side's 10-wicket victory in the first Test in Rawalpindi.

Since Brendon McCullum was appointed as England's red-ball coach in May 2022 they have become known for their aggressive 'Bazball' approach.

Bangladesh are yet to win a Test against Pakistan. The Tigers have played 13 matches against Pakistan and have lost 12, managing to draw a solitary match at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna in 2015.

De Silva is skippering the tourists in their first red-ball campaign in England for eight years, with Sri Lanka heading into the first of a three-match contest at Old Trafford starting Wednesday on the back of a defeat by a novice England Lions team in their lone warm-up fixture.

"Bangladesh is a side that has quality players in all departments and we highly respect the challenges they bring as a side to us," said Shan Masood.

Set a challenging target of 263 after fast bowler Jayden Seales' Test-best figures of six for 61 dismissed the Proteas for 246 in their second innings in the morning session, the home team lost wickets at regular intervals to be dismissed for 222.

Set 82 to win, England finished on 87-0 in just 7.2 overs. Stokes -- opening in place of the injured Zak Crawley -- was 55 not out off a mere 28 balls as England completed a 3-0 series whitewash with more than two days to spare.

Set just 158 to win, Ireland slumped to 33-5 at the close of Saturday's third day, with Zimbabwe left-arm quick Richard Ngarava doing the bulk of the damage in a sensational burst of 4-12 in four overs.

Brook, whose 363 runs against Australia last year, helped draw the Ashes, said while he was glad to learn from Root, he was also determined to stay true to himself as well.

Pope was one of three century-makers for the hosts as England won the second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge by 241 runs, with Harry Brook and Joe Root following him to three figures in a series-clinching success.

BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said: “We thank the PCB for confirming the schedule for Bangladesh's tour of Pakistan for the ICC World Test Championship matches. The series presents a significant test for us, but it is also a chance to showcase our progress in this format.”

The most successful fast bowler in the format's history, with 700 wickets, Anderson announced earlier this month that the first Test against the West Indies at Lord's in July would mark his farewell to England duty.

India's Sachin Tendulkar, an all-time batting great, lauded Anderson's ability to challenge even cricket's greatest run-scorers. "He would hold the ball as if he is bowling an outswinger but the release point, he would try and bring the ball back in," said Tendulkar.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat first in the second and final Test against Bangladesh at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.

The fourth day of the first Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Sylhet on Monday was just about completing mere formality -- at least that’s what was ensured by the recklessness portrayed by Bangladesh batters the previous day.
