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.

Taijul Islam to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, he's been caught behind and Taijul has his seventh. This was tossed up on leg stump, Faheem moved across, went down on one knee to try and sweep it hard, gets a thin under-edge and the keeper holds on - in a fashion - with the ball stuck between his legs.

Taijul Islam to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, boom. Faheem has had enough of hanging around. Dances down the track to a ball tossed up on off, and swings clean through the line to depositi it straight back over the bowler's head and over the boundary

Ebadot Hossain to Faheem Ashraf, no run, another yorker on leg stump and a big appeal but that would have pitched outside leg too. But Bangladesh have gone for the review. Ebadot convinced Mominul to go for it. I don't think Mominul will be happy seeing the replay. That's clearly pitched outside leg. Waste of a review.
