Bangladesh's ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan oozed his class with the ball, as he rattled Pakistan with a clinical spell in the ongoing first Test between the two sides at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. 

After deceiving Saud Shakeel and Abdullah Shafique, the legendary left-arm spinner got rid of Naseem Shah to push Pakistan down on the mat. 

The incident occurred during the 43rd over of Pakistan's second innings when they were already seven down following Bangladesh's spirited batting performance in the first innings. 

Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's decision to continue with Shakib from one end paid off, as the left-arm spinner dismissed Naseem Shah with a beautiful delivery. 

Soon after Pakistan avoided an innings defeat and ensured a lead, Naseem tried to go after Shakib in order to break the shackles. However, the promising pacer chipped the ball in the air, with Mushfiqur Rahim taking a sharp catch at mid wicket. 

This was Shakib's third wicket in the Test, and, thus, he proved his mettle after failing with bat and ball in the first innings. 

Bangladesh on the verge of a historic win in Rawalpindi Test

Meanwhile, riding on Shakib's clinical performance, Bangladesh have reduced Pakistan to 132/8 in the second innings of Rawalpindi Test. So, the hosts currently have a mere 15-run lead, and, with plenty of time left on day 5, they stare at a humiliating defeat.
