Earlier, the visitors sprung back from a precarious 26 for 6 to post 262 runs on the board, coming within 12 runs of Pakistan's first-innings total of 274. Litton Das scored an incredible century to lead a rear-guard action for the ages. What's more, the Bangla bowlers snuffed out two wickets in less than four overs to leave the home team rattled, and just 21 runs ahead with eight wickets in hand at the end of Day 3.
In the opening game, Bangladesh had scripted history by notching up their first-ever Test win over Pakistan in the first game at the same venue. The visitors had cantered to a measly target of 30 runs with all 10 wickets intact, after spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan led the demolition job to bowl the home team out for 146 runs in the third innings.
