Bangladesh took full control of the one-off Test match against Afghanistan in Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium as the hosts managed a 370-run lead at close of day two.
A total of 16 wickets fell on the lively Mirpur pitch where Bangladesh lost their remaining five wickets within just half an hour before Afghanistan were bundled out in two sessions.
Eventually the Tigers finished the day with a dominating batting display in the last session.
Bangladesh resumed day two with 362 on the board and five wickets in hand with Mushfiqur Rahim (41) and Mehedi Hasan Miraz (43) at the crease.
But Afghanistan pacers bowled brilliantly, using the overcast condition well with controlled line and length and good hint of swing.
The hosts managed to add just 20 runs to their first innings tally and were all out for 382 in the first hour of day two.
Debutant Nijat Masood took a five-wicket haul while Yamin Ahmadzai bagged two.
In reply, Bangladesh pacemen also started brightly on the greenish wicket and kept the pressure on the opposition top-order.
Skipper Liton Das deployed five slips and a gully for the majority of the overs in the first session which looked a bit unusual as Mirpur's wickets are mostly known to be slow and low.
Tigers pace trio Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain and Shoriful Islam used the conditions perfectly, bowling with good pace and bounce.
Bangladesh managed to take three Afghan wickets in the first session.
After lunch, wickets kept tumbling for the visitors and they were bundled out for just 146 giving the home side a 236-run lead.
Ebadot was brilliant with the ball as the right-arm pacer notched four wickets conceding 47 runs in his 10 overs while Shoriful, Taijul Islam and Miraz picked up two each.
With his two scalps, Miraz touched the milestone of 150 Test wickets.
He reached the landmark in 66 innings from 39 Tests.
Bangladesh started their second innings confidently but lost the wicket of Mahmudul Hasan Joy (17) who was caught at first slip in the last ball of the second over.
But Zakir Hasan and Nazmul Hossain Shanto, centurion of the first innings, batted solidly and both registered half-centuries before the end of play.
Both Zakir and Shanto were unbeaten on 54 off 64 deliveries and led the strong reply from the Tigers to gain control of the Test at stumps on day two.
Bangladesh, leading by 370 runs with nine wickets to spare, are looking for a huge total in order to set Afghanistan a mammoth target.
