3:49pm: New ball is due for Afghanistan but it'll be the Bangladesh's bowlers with it in about ten minutes because the hosts have finally declared. Litton and Mominul pat each other's backs on the way out. Quite an extraordinary center-wicket session for the hosts, who have lacked game time in Tests. But boy did they make use of it. Shanto completed his second hundred for the match, Mominul got his first after 26 innings. Zakir Hasan and Litton got fifties, it was the all-you-can-eat buffet that batters would dream about. The bowlers were kept under constant pressure and with the match situation piling on even further, it was always a matter of going through the motions. But credit to Masood for bowling with a right hands which had bleeding fingers last evening. Hamza and Zahir found spin and were among the wickets.
