SHAKIB Al Hasan became the first Bangladeshi to hit a century and take five wickets in an innings in the same test but his efforts look like being in a losing cause after Pakistan seized control of the second test in Dhaka.
Allrounder Shakib followed his first-innings 144 with the bat by snapping up six for 82 with the ball as the hosts bowled out Pakistan, already 1-0 up in the two-match series, for 470 on the fourth day yesterday.
However, pacemen Umar Gul and Aizaz Cheema then claimed two wickets apiece as Bangladesh limped to 114 for five in its second innings, trailing the visitors by 18 runs overall. Nasir Hossain (30) and Mushfiqur Rahim (seven) were still at the crease when bad light ended play for the day.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq made his 14th test half-century before he became Shakib's first victim of the day, caught at slip by Mahmudullah for 70.
Asad Shafiq was next to go, leg before for 42 after being deceived by a swinging ball from Robiul Islam.
Shakib then had Abdur Rehman (24) caught by Mahmudullah before Gul (11) top-edged a delivery from the slow left-armer to Elias Sunny at mid-on. Saeed Ajmal went for a duck three balls later, bowled by Shakib, and Adnan Akmal was stumped by Mushfiqur for 53 in the spinner's next over.
Bangladesh's joy at taking all 10 Pakistan wickets vanished quickly when Gul struck twice in two balls before tea to reduce the home side to 24 for two. Gul had Tamim Iqbal caught at first slip for 21 although replays suggested the ball might have hit the opener on his helmet.
