Afghanistan paceman Nijatullah Masood bags 5-wicket haul on Test debut against Bangladesh

Paceman Nijatullah Masood earned a five-wicket haul on debut as Afghanistan dismissed Bangladesh for 382 on June 15, taking the last five wickets for nine runs.

Bangladesh resumed Day 2 on 362-5 and appeared to be headed toward a big total at 373-5 with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan at the crease before the Afghan attack skittled the lower order after making the key breakthrough. Bangladesh's bowlers responded to have Afghanistan in trouble at 35-3 at lunch after eight wickets fell in the session.

A day after becoming the first Afghan bowler to take a wicket with the first ball of his test career, Masood found swing and movement in the overcast conditions to rip through Bangladesh’s batting order.
