Hameed hammers another hundred as hosts cruise to win

HASAN MASOOD from Karachi
Debutant Yasir Hameed smashed his second century in successive innings to steer Pakistan to a convincing seven-wicket win against Bangladesh on the last day of the first Super Asia Test at Karachi National Stadium yesterday.
The 25-year old from Peshawar, who smashed 170 in the first innings, added another 105 in the second to propel the hosts home just before lunch after they had resumed the day on 112 for one, chasing 217.
The lanky right hander became only the second batsman in Test history to score tons in both innings on debut after West Indies great
Lawrence Rowe, who achieved the rare feat against New Zealand in Kingston, Jamaica in 1971.
Hameed began the day on 68 and did not show any nerves as he got to the three-figure mark in the 17th over of the morning by flicking left arm spinner Mohammad Rafique to mid-wicket for two. He was eventually bowled by Rafique in the spinner's next over for 105. Hameed's 228-minute stay at the wicket produced 14 boundaries.
Opener Mohammad Hafeez, with whom Hameed had shared a decisive 134-run second wicket stand, was the first man to go in the morning when he was also bowled

by Rafique, having reached 50.
Rafique was the only Bangladesh bowler to give the Pakistanis any trouble on the final day.
When Hameed departed, Pakistan were left needing just another 47 runs and veterans Inzamamul Haque and Yousuf Youhana played with ease on the surprisingly flat wicket to reach the target.
Inzamam, who made a duck in the first innings, was undefeated on 35 hitting five boundaries, while Youhana was not out on 15.
It was no surprise when Hameed was adjudged man-of-the-match.
The Pakistan Cricket Board awarded five lakh rupees to the youngster for his scintillating achievement while the sponsors Super Asia rewarded him with 10,000 rupees.
Hamid later said he only came to know about Rowe's record when he returned to the dressing room at close on the fourth day.
"Afterwards, I was quite confident of emulating Rowe and with the guidance of my mentor and coach Javed Miandad, I finally made it," said Hameed.
Both teams will leave Karachi for Peshawar on Monday where the second Test is due to start from August 27.
