Sajid Khan claimed the fourth best Test bowling figures by a Pakistani as Bangladesh were whittled out for 87 in Mirpur.

Responding to Pakistan's first-innings 300 for 4 declared, Bangladesh collapsed at the hands of the 28-year-old offspinner, who is playing in his fourth Test. 

Sajid's return of 8 for 42 from 15 overs has been bettered only by Abdul Qadir, Sarfraz Nawaz and Yasir Shah.

His figures are also the second best by any bowler in a Test match in Bangladesh.

For the Tigers, it was a miserable showing. Their total is their lowest in Tests against Pakistan, with only two players - Shakib al Hasan and Nazmul Hossain - scoring more than 6.

Four players made ducks, and Bangladesh were subsequently asked to follow on by visiting captain Babar Azam.
