At the other end, Shamsur Rahman looked to be carrying from where he left off in his first-innings century•AFP

Offspinner Dilruwan Perera did the same to Shamsur soon after, with a bit of help from his inside edge•AFP

Perera struck again, after lunch, to dismiss Imrul Kayes and end his 70-run third-wicket partnership with Mominul Haque, but new man Shakib Al Hasan saw Bangladesh through to safety alongside Mominul Haque with a patient 43•AFP
