Hasan Mahmud's 6 for 90 against West Indies in Sylhet has put him next to Nathan Lyon in a rare Test record, as only the second bowler ever to take five-wicket hauls in five different countries.
His five five-fors have come in Pakistan, India, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Bangladesh, with the Sylhet haul his first on home soil.
It was also his fifth five-wicket haul in Tests, the most by any Bangladesh fast bowler.
Mahmud took 6 for 90 as West Indies were bowled out for 356 in the second Test in Sylhet on Friday, with Amir Jangoo top-scoring with 133.
Bangladesh closed the second day on 88 for 3, still 268 runs behind, with Towhid Hridoy unbeaten on 29 and Mushfiqur Rahim on 19.
