Bangladesh recorded a historic win over Sri Lanka - their first against the Asian side in the longest format - to make their 100th Test even more memorable.

Needing 191 runs for the victory, Bangladesh lost two wickets in quick succession on the final day. However, opener Tamim Iqbal and all-rounder Sabbir Rahman combined to add 109 runs for the third wicket to set the stage. A flurry of wickets put the match back in balance, before the visitors managed to seal it in the final session with 4 wickets in hand.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the historic occasion.
