Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to complete 5,000 Test runs on Wednesday when the hosts faced Sri Lanka in Chittagong.

He achieved it when he nudged Asitha Fernando towards fine leg in the 16th over of the day for two runs. The 35-year-old was however lucky to achieve the feat first.
