As for the play on day four, Pakistan toiled hard for wickets as Bangladesh continued to pile up runs on a placid track and only pacers bowling to them.

Mushfiqur Rahim top scored with 191 while Mehidy Hasan Miraz (77) gave him good company after Litton Das (56) departed early in the day on a team score of 332.

Miraz and Rahim added 196 runs for the seventh wicket and took Bangladesh past 500 and into the lead. They eventually were dismissed for 565 in their first innings, taking a lead of 117 runs.

Pakistan started their second innings poorly as they lost Saim Ayub cheaply. Abdullah Shafique (12) and skipper Masood (9) were at the crease with 23 runs on board.

Pakistan fielded an all-pace attack in Rawalpindi, surprising fans and former players alike. Their assistant coach Azar Mahmood, however, backed the decision and said it was the pitch which didn't behave properly.

"The reason we didn't play a spinner was there was grass on the pitch and we thought it would favour the seamers," Mahmood said as reported by cricket news outlet ESPN Cricinfo.

"We were hoping for that. But the three hours the pitch was sunned before the game started on the first day may have made a difference. The wicket dried out; we didn't think it would dry out so quickly, and that made it play differently."
