Faisalabad was originally called Lyallpur until 1979 when the government decided to change the name of their third biggest city (by population) in honour of the late Saudi King Faisal.

The city's former name was given in recognition of Sir James Lyall, one of the most successful governors of Punjab during British rule because turned it into the country's biggest textile during the late 19th century.

The rapid growth in this sector made the place become known as the 'Manchester of Pakistan.'

Besides, the former British governor authorised the construction of the famous 'Ghanta Ghar' (clock tower) in the city centre, which also is known for having junction of nine roads.

There are thousands of cloth shops. The biggest market in the area is Kachari (court) Bazar.

Apart from textiles, the city is the home of Pakistan hockey. Greats like Shahbaz Ahmed and Tahir Zaman were born in this city.

The country's biggest Agricul-tural University is located here.

Bangladesh's best fielders Alok Kapali and Rajin Saleh almost ruined Khaled Mahmud's day. Both spilled easy chances to get rid of Pakistan's openers inside the first ten overs.

Alok dropped Yasir Hameed off Mashrafee-bin-Mortuza in the sixth over when he was on 12. Rajin should have taken Mohammad Hafeez from Hasibul Hossain's bowling. The left-hander was batting on 21.

But thankfully the Bangladesh captain didn't have to wait long as all-rounder Mushfiqur Rahman, coming in for an expensive Hasibul, dismissed the pair in his first over

He bowled Yasir with his second ball to end their 45-run partnership and then had Hafeez caught behind two deliveries later.
