FOUR! Azhar Ali finishes it with a boundary! Mehidy Hasan bowls this down the leg side. Azhar Ali gets on his knees and sweeps it fine towards the long leg fence for a boundary. Azhar Ali and Babar Azam shake hands and the Pakistan dressing room is delighted. It has been a hard-fought win for them. Bangladesh and Pakistan share handshakes and both teams should be proud of the cricket they have played during the course of this game. A good advertisement for Test cricket but in the end, it is Pakistan, who have won this game by 8 wickets!
