The first test between Bangladesh and Pakistan at Khulna served a buffet of records, a special treat for the Tigers fans at home and abroad. After eight successive losses, Bangladesh achieved their first draw against Pakistan, and this is merely the appetizer for the main dishes to come!

Pakistan's bowlers conceded as many records as the number of wickets they captured in the test match. To say they were under the pump in the second innings would be an understatement, especially after the Tamim and co battered them to a pulp for 136 overs.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal's 206 is their new highest individual score, and his 312-run partnership with Imrul Kayes broke the 55-year old record for the most runs added by an opening pair in the second innings.

It took 454 balls for Pakistani bowlers to break Tamim and Kayes' mammoth first wicket stand. The last time they had to wait so long for the first wicket was in 2006 when Chris Gayle and Darren Ganga of West Indies batted for 372 deliveries in Multan.

For the record, Bangladesh is the second Asian team after India whose openers have scored a hundred in the second innings of a test match.
