Sajid adds life to rain-hit Bangladesh Test with six wickets

 Off-spinner Sajid Khan’s maiden five-wicket haul for Pakistan brought back some life to the rain-hit second Test in Dhaka yesterday.   
Sajid’s 6-35 held Bangladesh to 76 before bad light forced early stumps on the first day at the Sher-e-Bangla 
National Stadium.   

Shakib Al Hasan was unbeaten on 23 alongside Taijul Islam (0) at stumps, with Bangladesh still needing 25 runs to avoid the follow-on.   
Mohammad Rizwan hit an unbeaten 53 while Fawad Alam added 50 not out as Pakistan declared their innings on 300-4 an hour into the 
post-lunch session.   

Sajid then took Mahmudul Hasan and Mehidy Hasan for ducks along with Shadman Islam (3), Mushfiqur Rahim (5), Liton Das (6) and Najmul Hossain (30), while skipper Mominul Haque was run out for one.
