Teenage Naseem is youngest to take hat trick (Rawalapindi)

16 year old fast bowler Naseem Shah became the youngest bowler to take a hat-trick in Test cricket and put Pakistan on the brink of victory in the first Test against Bangladesh.

Naseem dismissed the Bangladesh middle order trio of Najmul Hossain, Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah to trigger a slump.

Naseem broke the record held by former Bangladesh spinner Alok Kapali, who was 19 when he took three wickets in consecutive balls against Pakistan in 2003.
