With only nine days to go until Christmas, we head back to Abu Dhabi where Adil Rashid went for 100 runs and then took a five-for

With only nine days until Christmas, see how Adil Rashid became the ninth bowler to ship over 100 runs in the first innings of a Test and take a five-for in the second.

Yorkshire spinner Rashid recorded figures of 0-163 against Pakistan in the first Test in Abu Dhabi in October, before responding with aplomb by seizing 5-64 second time around.

It had been some time since a Test bowler went from an unwanted century to a wanted five-for, wiith South Africa's Lance Klusener the previous man to do so in 1996 against India in Kolkata.

Rashid's five-for almost propelled England towards victory but not quite, with bad light scuppering the tourists after they began to chase 99 from a scheduled 19 overs.

Watch Rashid's turnaround in the video above - and then catch him playing for Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash live on Sky Sports this winter.
