Dhaka - Pakistan overcame a brilliant counter-attack by Shakib Al Hasan to build on their supremacy over Bangladesh on the third day of the second and final Test in Dhaka on Friday.

Shakib returned unbeaten on 89 off 91 balls after the hosts, who resumed at the overnight score of 107-5, were bowled out for 203 in their first innings shortly before lunch.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq did not enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 354 runs, and the tourists went to lunch at 7-1 in their second knock at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
