Pakistan in commanding position
Umar Gul and Aizaz Cheema each took two wickets to boost Pakistan's chances of winning the second and final Test against Bangladesh on Tuesday despite Shakib Al Hasan's superb all-round display.
The host was struggling at 114 for five in its second innings at stumps on the penultimate day after conceding a lead of 132, with paceman Gul bagging two wickets off successive balls and Cheema finishing the day with two for 41.
Nasir Hossain was unbeaten on 30 with Mushfiqur Rahim on seven not out.
Pakistan leads 1-0 in the series after winning the first Test in Chittagong by an innings and 184 runs.
Gul dismissed the free-scoring Tamim Iqbal (21) and Shahriar Nafees for no score with his last two balls before the tea break after Pakistan was bowled out for 470 in its first innings in reply to Bangladesh's 338.
Tamim, who hit Cheema for three fours in an over, looked surprised when adjudged caught by skipper Misbah-ul-Haq at first slip while attempting to hook Gul, as TV replays suggested the ball had come off the helmet.
