Veteran pacer Mohammad Abbas turned the tide in Pakistan's favor with a brilliant bowling display on Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

After a strong start by Bangladesh, Abbas's fiery spell helped Pakistan fight back into the contest. The hosts had dominated most of Day 1 with disciplined batting and smart partnerships, but Abbas changed everything before lunch on Saturday. The 36-year-old pacer went on to claim five wickets.
