3.00pm: That will be tea, with the session having been extended thanks to Pakistan being nine down. An absolutely lion-hearted performance by Taijul Islam - 7 for 116 in 44.4 overs. His fingers will need some special care. Pakistan began the day in a strong position, but once the first wicket fell, they kept falling. Bangladesh were relentless, consistently keeping the ball in good areas. A resolute last-wicket stand notwithstanding, Bangladesh have a lead of 44. How much can they increase that to in the session that's left today? Or can Pakistan strike early and cause panic? We'll find out soon.
