Afghanistan are a young team in Test cricket but we expect more from them as they have won three of their six Tests. Yes, they were without their best player - Rashid Khan - but that is no excuse to be blown away with the bat in both the innings. They just couldn't handle the heat of the Bangladesh pace trio and that is a lesson they will take away. That is all from this one-off Test. But these two sides will meet for five white-ball games soon. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..
Litton Das: I am very happy with the way boys played the whole game. The weather was very hot and it was not easy, credit goes to our batters especially Shanto. The way the bowlers bowled in this heat it was amazing to see. We have good quality of pacers and spinners too.
Najmul Shanto | Player of the Match: I am really with the way I batted. We (himself and Mominul) were talking about the record after I got to the hundred, he (Mominul) said welcome to the group. It is a good opportunity for the batters to bat on such a wicket and happy to see the bowlers bowl well. As a player we have to perform in all the formats and I was clear with my plans.
Hashmatullah Shahidi: I am feeling good. Just had a scan and it is clear. It didn't go our way from the start of the match. We had some positives. The thing was we played after a long break in Tests. We will learn more as much as we play in Test cricket.

12:15 Local Time, 06:15 GMT, 11:45 IST: This is an absolute pasting by Bangladesh. The biggest victory in terms of runs in the 21st century, overall the third biggest and the other two were in 1928 and 1934. Afghanistan were never in the game. Apart from the second morning where they picked the last 5 wickets for 9 runs, it has been all Bangladesh. Afghanistan came into this Test having previously beaten the hosts and hence an even contest was expected. But the conditions have changed since their victory in 2019; the surfaces are more conducive to fast bowling and that was evident with the pacers picking 21 of the 33 wickets to fall in the Test. Ebadot, Shoriful and Taskin were excellent with the ball and got more out of the surface than their counterparts. Najmul Shanto was the standout batter as he became only the second Bangladesh player to score two hundreds in a Test, while the rest of them played supporting roles in Bangladesh's biggest victory.

The physio is out there to check on him. And FYI, the session has been extended as Bangladesh need only one wicket. Zahir is still in quite a lot of pain. The right elbow is being strapped. But looks like Zahir is not going to continue. He's walking off. Handshakes all around and Bangladesh win by 546 runs.

Taskin Ahmed to Zahir Khan, no run, ouch! That is going to hurt. Zahir backs away and Taskin follows him with a short of length delivery, Zahir takes his eyes off and is struck flush on the elbow
