Azhar Ali hit the first double-century of his international career as Pakistan took full control of the series-deciding second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur.
Azhar’s career-best 226 set the stage for Pakistan to declare on 557 for eight before making a potentially-decisive move with five evening-session wickets.
Junaid Khan and Yasir Shah claimed two wickets each as the Tigers slumped to 107 for five after spending five sessions, and 152 overs, in the field.
Azhar could claim the majority of blame for that as he shared in two double-century partnerships during his seven-hour stay at the crease.
His 250-run union with Younus Khan on the opening day steered Pakistan away from some early trouble before today's 207-run stand with Asad Shafiq ensured they would dictate the remainder of the contest.
Azhar finally fell, after 428 deliveries, when he picked out long-off from Shuvagata Hom's off-spin before Shafiq continued on to his sixth Test century.
Captain Misbah-ul-Haq then declared at tea and Junaid ensured Pakistan’s position was immediately reinforced when he trapped Tamim Iqbal, a double-centurion in the first Test, lbw in the first over.
Yasir completed a profitable session when he bowled Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim with the final ball of the day.
