With three wickets in Bangladesh first innings, Zaheer
ended the match with career-best figures of 10 for 149,
eclipsing his nine for 134 that came against England at
Nottingham in 2007.
Harbhajan drew first blood after the drinks break in the
morning when Amit Mishra made amends for his earlier lapse and
caught Shahadat (40).
Mishra had dropped the batsman when he was on 33.
Nine balls after Shahadat's departure, Mohammad Ashraful
(25) followed suit. Pragyan Ojha, who till then looked
pedestrian, got the ball to bounce and turn and the batsman
offered an outside edge which nestled into Mahendra Singh
Dhoni's gloves.
Two overs later, captain Shakib Al Hasan (7) as he holed
out to Gautam Gambhir at square leg while trying to clear the
boundary off Ojha.
This was followed by a six-over lull before Zaheer sent
back three batsmen from four balls to leave Bangladesh in
tatters.
Zaheer first had Raqibul Hasan for five as the superb
delivery crashed at the stumps after kissing the pad of the
batsman who tried to leave it alone.
Two balls later, Murali Vijay took a stunning catch at
the slip to remove Mahmadullah Riyad (0) and the next ball
sent Shafiul Islam's stumps cartwheeling for a first ball
duck. More PTI
