Bangladesh records

SHAKIB Al Hasan compiled a maiden double century and Musfiqur Rahman scored 159 in a record-shattering fifth-wicket partnership yesterday which lifted Bangladesh to 542-7 at stumps on the second day of the first test against New Zealand. Playing his 45th test, the 29-year-old Shakib (217) became only the third Bangladesh batsman to score a test double century after teammates Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur. At 206 he passed Tamim’s record for the highest score by a Bangladesh batsman in tests. The pair put on 359 for the fifth wicket, the highest stand for Bangladesh for all wickets against all nations, and the best for the fifth wicket by any nation against New Zealand.
