Last month, Bangladesh won the first Test by 10 wickets in Rawalpindi for their first victory over Pakistan in 14 matches.

Resuming at 42 without loss, 16 runs were added before Pakistan got the first breakthrough when Mir Hamza bowled Zakir with a delivery that moved away.

Fellow pace bowler Khurram Shahzad got in on the act when Shadman miscued a drive, chipping to Shan Masood at mid-off.

Najmul and Mominul dug in to stop any further inroads with the captain bringing up their fifty partnership off the last ball before lunch.

Najmul has hit four boundaries so far in his 33 off 68 balls while Mominul found the ropes twice in his 30 off 46 balls.
