Tamim Iqbal recorded his first century overseas since 2010 after scoring a near run-a-ball 126 runs on Thursday. Having been put into bat by their hosts, the Tigers got off to a flying start on the back of a brisk 50-run opening stand between the swashbuckling Tamim Iqbal and Shadman Islam. Wagner completed his five-wicket haul after dismissing Tigers’ skipper Mahmudullah and wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das for scores of 22 and 29 runs, respectively. Tim Southee mopped up the tail to restrict the Tigers to 234 runs in 59.2 overs in their first innings. Southee finished with three wickets for 76 runs while Wagner picked up five wickets for 47 runs.
