Both captains share the trophy. It's time now for all of us to wrap up things here. What a series this has been. Bangladesh have started signalling to the world that they are here to stay in the longer format. The way they have played these two Tests has just been phenomenal. On that note, it's Abhishek Chaudhary taking your leave along with my co-commentators Sriram and Pradeep. Have an awesome Sunday. If you are a Bangladesh fan, I don't need to tell you that. Bye!
Mehedi Hasan: "I am really happy for having a great start to my career. I was not nervous but the first match is always tough. Sometimes when I was nervous, the senior men supported me. This wicket was good and thanks to Taijul and Shakib for bowling longer spells. The key was to bowl in good areas and have patience."
Mehedi Hasan is the Man of the Match and the Man of the Series for having a ball throughout the series
Rahim: "It is really a great moment for Bangladesh cricket. They were 100 for none, but we had a belief that if we got one wicket, we could do it. The coach was a bit furious at tea, the guys bowled well and tried to bowl in good areas. The new ball suits the England batsmen but after that it became tough. We always knew he is going to shine. We did not think, he will come this good in this series though. He (Mehedi Hasan) is going to be a great prospect for Bangladesh in the future. Our next target is to perform in overseas conditions. Our boys have done well and hopefully do well. In the last one year or so, we have done well. Hopefully, the ICC and our board will get us a few more series against the big teams. Thanks to the ECB and the England team, also the security guys. It's party time."
Cook: "I mean 270 would have been hell of a chase on that wicket but we got a good start. We showed our inexperience in these conditions. Credit to Bangladesh, they bowled well, caught well. 220 would have been a different story. It's been very tough, I have no complaints about it (turning pitch). We get green wickets and why should not these guys get the wickets they grow up playing on. Chittagong was good but here we had our chances. We did not bowl great yesterday. There's a lot of work to do. It is tough when an off-spinner bowls against a left-hander and with the new DRS, it is hard. We have talked a lot about security, but I am glad that we came here and played cricket. Their development in ODI cricket has been talked about but in these conditions, they will be a tough team to beat. I want to thank the loyal England fans who came to watch us today."
They have reached the quarterfinals of a World Cup, beaten India, Pakistan, England in a WC game. But this rates as their best win. They have got the better of one of the best Test teams going around in world cricket right now. Stay tuned for presentations, we will have a grand one for sure. We still have sometime left. So let me remind you that England are travelling to India after this and they will have a lot of homework to do. Somewhere in Chennai, a man with fingers of a magician would have watched it and already planned a few things.
What a win for Bangladesh. At tea, England had all their wickets intact. Ben Duckett was hitting around, Cook was solid and it looked chaseable. However, destiny had different plans for them. They lost Duckett to the first ball after tea and from there on, Rahim's boys did not look behind. Trudged towards history and levelled the series. They were denied in the previous match, were almost there, but Stokes snatched it from them. But not today, for how long could you deny a deserving team. There will be talks about the pitches they got.. there always is. A spinning track is always a dubious ploy, it's doubted all across the globe. But all that will be in tomorrow's newspapers. Not today... Today Bangladesh will celebrate, the crowd were not great in numbers today. But I can assure you that no one is sleeping tonight in Bangladesh
Mehedi Hasan to Finn, out Lbw!! BANGLADESH CREATE HISTORY. THEY ARE JUMPING AROUND. THEIR FIRST TEST WIN AGAINST ENGLAND. Before, I describe the scenes there, let me just tell you how the last wicket fell. Finn used his feet and missed the loft, the ball kept pretty low and hit him around the line of off-stump. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena, judged him lbw. Finn was not satisfied and reviewed it. Poor fella did not know his teammates had not spared one for him. Finn lbw b Mehedi Hasan 0(8)
Mehedi Hasan to Finn, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
