Allrounder Shakib Al Hasan bagged five wickets in Zimbabwe’s first innings during the second Test match at Khulna’s Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium today.

This is Shakib’s second five-for in an innings after he claimed seven wickets in the first Test against Zimbabwe at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Today, on the fourth day of the second Test, he removed Zimbabwe’s danger man Masakadza, who scored 158, and Waller to complete his five-for. Yesterday, he claimed the wickets of Taylor, Ervine and Chigumbura.

Earlier in the first innings, Shakib scored a century, before getting out at 137, that helped Bangladesh pile a big total of 443 runs against Zimbabwe.

This Test series is the first opportunity at cricket for Shakib Al Hasan after he resurfaced following a ban imposed on him by the national cricket board for disciplinary purpose.
