Pakistan will be happy they they didn't let the tail wag much. They started the third session really well by taking the wickets of Rahim, Hasan and then the tail. However, it didn't come easily as they had to grind hard under scorching heat and not much assistance from the pitch. The seamers shined for them. Naseem Shah ended with three wickets while Afridi, Shahzad and Ali ended with two each. Pakistan have more than hours to bat now and will hope not to lose any wickets till the end of the day. Stay tuned.

Shoriful Islam's quick cameo helps Bangladesh stretch the lead to 117 runs. A solid show from Bangladesh with the bat. They were 53/2 at one stage but then came some marathon innings and a couple of big partnerships for them. Shadman Islam at the top along with Mominul Haque. Mushfiqur Rahim along with Litton Das first and then Mehidy Hasan. However, Mushfiqur Rahim's 191 was the highlight of all of them. The veteran stepped up and played a brilliant innings to help Bangladesh take a decent lead.
