That set up Bangladesh's fifth-day run-chase and all of their top six passed 20 to secure a victory which moves them to fourth in the World Test Championship table, ahead of fifth-placed England.Pakistan, who host England for three Tests in October, are eighth and are now winless at home in 10 Tests - their worst run since an 11-game stretch between 1969 and 1975.
