For the first time on the tour, Pakistan have finally found their mojo. Day 2 was all about their dominance over the hosts. After restricting Bangladesh to a low total, they came out all guns blazing in the batting department. Their reply was led by Mohammad Hafeez, who has been in terrific form in Tests of late. His flawless technique and range of shots was mesmerizing to watch. While Hafeez fired from one end, the other end was held up by Azhar Ali. His slow and steady innings were in contrast to Hafeez, but his support proved invaluable. Together they put up a solid 177-run stand. Pakistan now only trail by 105 runs and with 9 wickets in hand, they will be looking forward to eat up the deficit and then extend the lead as soon as possible.

Continuing from where they had left off, Pakistan began the day in a positive fashion. It did not take long for Hafeez to get to his 150, also his highest Test score against Bangladesh. His previous best against them was 143. The partnership also crossed 200. Pakistan trail by less than 80 runs at the moment.

Bangladesh finally managed to obtain a breakthrough when Hom dismissed Azhar Ali for a well-made 83. The quicker delivery spun back in, catching Azhar off guard. The ball penetrated his defence and went on to uproot the middle stump. Azhar was caught in two minds and was struck in his crease, unable to decide whether to get in front or settle on the back foot. The Bangladesh spinners are now getting good turn and bounce from the track and Pakistan need to be careful.

Bangladesh wasted a review when they appealed against Hafeez for a lbw call. The batsman missed the sweep shot and was struck on the pad off Hom's bowling. Hawk-Eye, however, showed that although the ball was hitting the wickets, the impact was outside the off stump. Hafeez was on 173.

Bangladesh opted for the second new ball in the 84th over of the Pakistan innings. The partnership between Hafeez and Younis Khan has already crossed fifty. The veteran batsman began playing his shots straightaway and has already hit 4 fours so far. Meanwhile, Hafeez is just a few runs short of his maiden double hundred.

By Lunch, Pakistan had established themselves in the game with authority. Azhar Ali's wicket in the first hour of the game did little to disrupt their plans. The experienced Younis Khan has combined well with Mohammad Hafeez, who is not too far away from his milestone. Bangladesh have toiled in vain. Shuvagata Hom did get some turn and bounce from the wicket, but the rest of the spinners were ordinary. After opting for the second new ball, the host brought their pacers into the attack but nothing has troubled Hafeez and Younis so far. All that Pakistan has to do is treat the bowling on merit and build up their lead. We will see how they go about it in the post-lunch session...

Younis Khan was removed by Taijul Islam by a fantastic delivery. The batsman had gone deep into the crease and looked to defend but ended up completely missing the ball. It hit the top of off stump and the 62-run stand between him and Hafeez was broken.

Mohammad Hafeez registered his maiden double ton in Tests. He was out twice in the 190s before and his previous best was 197. He did not celebrate wildly, just took his helmet off and pointed his bat at his team-mates in the dressing room before hugging Misbah. Pakistan still have a lot of work ahead and need to fatten the lead.

Shuvagata Hom provided Bangladesh yet another breakthrough when he dismissed Hafeez for 224 runs. The batsman had got down to sweep a delivery that turned in but ended up gloving it. The ball flew to the left of the leg slip fielder Mahmudullah, who latched onto it in a flash and held onto a good take. Pakistan lead by 74 runs now with Misbah and Asad Shafiq at the crease.

Despite losing Hafeez, Pakistan have stuck to the plan and accumulated a lead of 89 runs. They scored 88 runs in the middle session for the loss of Younis and Hafeez's wickets. Hafeez became the third oldest Pakistan player to register a double hundred. By the looks of it, seems like the visitors are a commanding position and are on their way to garner a huge first innings lead. Misbah is batting responsibly on 43 and young Asad Shafiq has given him good company so far. Let's find out soon how the final session pans out...

Misbah ul Haq slammed his 27th Test fifty and along with Asad Shafiq extended Pakistan's lead over 100 and brought up the fifty-run stand. Pakistan also crossed 450 runs. Bangladesh have used 8 bowlers so far but have not been able to take wickets at regular intervals.

Another half century stand was broken when Taijulgot Misbah to sweep on a flighted delivery. The Pakistan skipper got a top edge and was easily snapped up the deep backward square leg fielder. It was Taijul's third wicket of the match. The lead has gone past 140 runs now and Sarfraz Ahmed has joined Asad Shafiq at the crease.

Asad Shafiq neared his fifty and Pakistan crossed the 500 run mark. They now have a sizeable lead of over 170. Bangladesh also reviewed an LBW call against Sarfraz on 20 off Rubel's bowling. However, the review was wasted as the impact was well outside off.

Pakistan were in firm control of the game by the end of Day 3 as they racked up a massive score of /5. Both Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed scored their respective fifties and pumped up the lead over 200. While it was Shafiq's 11th Test fifty, it was the fifth one for Sarfraz. Pakistan now are in firm control of the Test.

The visitors scored 310 runs today for the loss of four wickets as the Bangladesh bowlers failed to hit the right areas. In comparison to other bowlers, Taijul and Hom bowled decently, extracting turn and bounce from the wicket. However, the ineffectiveness of Shakib and the pacers allowed Pakistan to form useful stands throughout their innings. A complete batting performance enabled them to dominate the proceedings with extreme ease. They would now be looking forward to extend the lead even further and aim for an innings win.

Join us back tomorrow for the live blog. We'll find out if the visitors make merry or the hosts pull things back.
