Pathan scalps five as Bangladesh fall cheaply

Indian paceman Irfan Pathan grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul as Bangladesh were bowled out for 184 on the shortened first day of the first Test on Friday. Leg spinner Anil Kumble also grabbed the limelight to break Kapil Dev's Indian record for test wickets by claiming his 435th and 436th scalps in his 91st match. Pathan picked up five for 45 and fast bowler Zaheer Khan added two for 51 as they left the hosts reeling on 50 for five at one stage on a damp pitch offering big seam movement.
But Mohammad Ashraful led the resistance for the hosts, scoring a dogged unbeaten 60 and sharing in a 56-run stand for the sixth wicket with Manjural Islam Rana (24) and 65 for the eighth with Mohammad Rafique (47).
