[1] Bangladesh recalled 56-Test veteran and former captain Mohammad Ashraful to their side for the first Test in Chittagong; he had been dropped for the series against the West Indies earlier in the year.

Debutant opener Nazimuddin was Bangladesh's longest-lasting batsman, surviving for 78 balls before being dismissed by Umar Gul for 31.

Pakistan's front-line bowlers shared the wickets: Abdur Rehman and Saeed Ajmal took three each; Gul and Aizaz Cheema took two.

[9] Pakistan ended the first day on 132 runs for the loss of no wickets, thanks to an opening stand between Mohammad Hafeez and Taufeeq Umar.

[10] Taufeeq was dismissed the next morning, leg before wicket to Mahmudullah; Hafeez went on to score his fourth Test century, eventually falling for 143 runs.

[11] Bangladesh, needing 459 runs simply to force Pakistan to bat again, improved on their first innings total, but were dismissed for 275.

After their low first innings in the first Test, Bangladesh's top order again fell quickly, sitting at 4/34 after Aizaz Cheema took three wickets.

[17] Shakib was run out the next morning for his highest Test score of 144, before Bangladesh's tail was dismissed quickly, leaving the team all out for 338.
