^^ West Indies in similar trouble to South Africa, Holder will need good support from the tail if they are to gain parity.

Great win for Bangladesh over Pakistan in Rawalpindi. First ever test victory against them. Skittled Pakistan for 146 and rattled off the runs required in short order.

Are Pakistan in decline or have Bangladesh suddenly got better?

No play was possible on day 1 of the 2nd Test between Pakistan & Bangladesh at Rawalpindi due to rain & a wet outfield.
