Mehedi's 12 seals historic win over England

Bangladesh claimed ten wickets in an electric final session to secure an historic first Test victory over England and a 1-1 share of the series. That it came after England's openers had put on a century stand was the final twist in a remarkable match and only heightened the sense of their achievement. The crowning moment was delivered by the teenager Mehedi Hasan, who finish
ed with another six-wicket haul, 12 in the match and the best figures by a Bangladeshi to spark scenes of jubilation at Mirpur.
The result provided atonement after Bangladesh had gone so close in Chittagong, finally giving them a win over one of the major Test nations: in 94 matches previously they had only beaten West Indies and Zimbabwe. It also posed fresh questions for England, who went from 100 for 0 to 164 all out in 22.3 mesmeric overs as Mehedi and Shakib Al Hasan claimed all ten between them.
At tea, England had edged the equation back in their favour, knocking the requirement from 273 down to a seemingly more manageable 173 thanks to their best opening partnership of the tour. But from the very first delivery after the interval, Mehedi speared the ball into Ben Duckett's stumps and England's dream start became a waking nightmare against spin, a Halloween horror show in which every wicket was greeted with ghoulish glee by the Mirpur crowd.
Moments later Joe Root, already zombified by illness, stumbled from the field after a two-ball 1 and although Alastair Cook followed Duckett in reaching fifty, England were about to enter a death spiral. From 122 for 2, Bangladesh claimed 4 for 15 in 38 balls, England's middle-order guts ripped out as Mehedi completed a ten-wicket haul in only his second Test. After Duckett and Cook, only Ben Stokes managed double-figures.
Gary Ballance's tortured series ended with a misbegotten leading edge to mid-off and Moeen Ali was lbw to Mehedi in the same over but Bangladesh must have truly believed when Cook popped a catch to silly point - a superb take from Mominul Haque standing as close to the cut strip as he dared - to leave England five down. The sense of grievance Bangladesh apparently felt after Cook had overturned an lbw decision off Mehedi a few overs before, Hawk-Eye projecting the ball to be missing leg stump, was immediately forgotten.
Starting there, the closure was unavoidable - it was simply an issue of when. Jonny Bairstow turned into Mehedi's eleventh casualty when an inside edge swelled to leg slip and despite the fact that Stokes endeavored to keep down the tide, destroying Mehedi for a towering, insubordinate six, he was rocked the bowling alley playing inside the line of a conveyance from Shakib, who asserted three in four balls to put Bangladesh on the very edge of a triumph that had over and again debilitated to squirm from their grip.

Few could have anticipated very such a sensational complete toward the begin of the day. Having been very much put on 152 for 3 overnight, Bangladesh's batsmen set out to play decidedly and they prevailing in practically multiplying their score. Feeds and Adil Rashid guaranteed six of the seven wickets to fall, keeping the objective underneath 300, however 273 was still fundamentally more than England had already accomplished in Asia - fortuitously their 2010 quest for 209 at Mirpur, which was additionally the record on the ground.

They were given the ideal begin, be that as it may. Cook and his most recent accomplice had a past best of 26 together and, given England's penchant to go from one to three down (or, for this situation, hard and fast) in short request, it was an auspicious change. Duckett's inclination for the switch breadth was notable in local circles however he unwrapped it for the natives of Dhaka in the fourth over of the innings, striking consecutive limits off Shakib.

There were maybe a couple misjudgements, a top edge from a slice blasting through the hands of slip, while Kamrul Islam Rabbi couldn't get his hands under a wild cut running in from cover, however living perilously was at any rate living. Duckett went to his lady Test fifty, from only 61 conveyances, with a cleared four and he raised the hundred with a furious draw of Mehedi's next ball to advance quieten an apprehensive group - at any rate until the resumption after tea.

A turbulent morning session had seen four wickets, the same number of gets go down, a few surveys squandered and 116 runs added to the Bangladesh add up to. No batsman could get by for long however they effectively fought off the inside and out crumple England had sought after, as tempers started to shred.

Feeds was at the focal point of attempting to lift England yet his approach appeared to draw remark from the umpires, who drew nearer Cook to attempt and quiet things down. Feeds was despondent at Sabbir Rahman progressing down the pitch amid a lively seventh-wicket organization that repulsed England at the end of the day and dissatisfactions mounted after they lost their second audit looking for a got behind ruling against Bangladesh's No. 7, who was in the end lbw to Rashid from the last ball before lunch.

Britain made shots from the beginning however Bangladesh's batsmen continued pushing the scoreboard on. Imrul Kayes cleared and poked while the more audacious Shakib rode his fortunes to include 48 together inside the main hour and despite the fact that the wickets did in the end come, England's trusts of going through the center and lower-arrange for a brief moment time in the match were stilled.

Imrul had two let-offs before at long last succumbing to 78. In the 6th over of the morning, on 67, a leg-side flick off Zafar Ansari went rapidly to one side of Cook at leg slip and the England chief could just palm it away; then on 74, a less complex possibility off the rocking the bowling alley of Moeen was put around Root, going one-gave on his right side at slip.

The Bangladesh opener fell soon after, lbw to Moeen endeavoring to range, and Shakib may have been baffled in the accompanying over, charging at Ansari, just for the ball to detonate off the pitch and clear Bairstow's correct shoulder. Ansari ought to unquestionably have had Shakib's wicket on 23 when a trudge clear chose Duckett at profound midwicket however he made an entire hash of the catch and a similar bowler then observed Mushfiqur survive a confused chip to Steven Finn running back at mid-off.
