Pakistan resumed on 323-3, and Azhar Ali went on to make a maiden double century.

Azhar began the day on 127 and soon passed his previous Test best of 157 despite the loss of captain Misbah-ul-Haq for just nine as he was bowled by Shakib Al Hasan.

They progressed to 428-4 at lunch as Azhar and Asad Shafiq batted freely.

Azhar's 200 came up off 406 balls, and Asad's sixth Test century followed soon after from 149 balls.

Their 207-run partnership ended as Azhar holed out to long off from Shuvagata Hom's bowling for 226. Asad departed in identical fashion 17 balls later for 107.

Misbah declared at tea and then saw opening bowler Junaid Khan strike twice in his opening five overs.

Tamim Iqbal, a double centurion in the first Test, was trapped lbw for four, and Mominul Haque was caught behind for 13.

Leg-spinner Yasir Shah also picked up two wickets, pegging back Imrul Kayes' leg stump for 32 and then bowling Mushfiqur Rahim (12) with a googly with the final delivery of the day.

Between those wickets, Mahmudullah (28) had coughed up a Wahab Riaz bouncer to Azhar Ali at short leg, and Bangladesh need another 251 to avoid the follow-on.
