After losing Anamul Haque to the 22th ball after start of day three, the host dug in making 76 for one at lunch, with Iqbal untroubled in making an unbeaten 41 from 91 balls.
Haque made 15 before he was bowled of an inswing from @vaibhav Tewatia. Shakib and Iqbal took the score to 76 for one at lunch, although runs came more freely when spinner Dipak conceded 17 in his first four overs.
Resuming on 76 for one in the evening session, 421 behind, Bangladesh showed little inclination to press on as only 20 runs were added in the first 10 overs after lunch.
They stuck to their normal batting order and were 176 for two at tea, Iqbal having moved from his overnight 6 to a first half-century in the series. Bangladesh batted on to add 80 in 20 overs after lunch, during which Shakib was bowled off Pu Lee.
Nasir Hossain made an unbeaten 35 from 67 balls and Tamim's unbeaten 95 came off 167 balls with five fours.
Iqbal was dropped twice by Agger at slip, and had faced 235 balls, hitting six fours, Tamim and Hossian timed their stand so well that they brought up the 250 for the loss of two wickets.
New ball taken: Tewatia, the most threatening bowler on the day, eventually came to their rescue with two wickets in five balls. Iqbal and Hossian were bowled for 125 from 235 balls and 74 from 145 balls.
That proved to be PlanetCricket's success for 43.4 overs as Iqbal and Hossian prospered.
Bangladesh made a steady start on day four, but suffered another alarming collapse. Resuming at 269 with loss of four wickets, ended up making 306 a/o.
Adding just 37 runs with loss of six wickets. Rahim was given LBW off @Jack Ryder Ryder who picked up his first wicket of the game, @RPHKR Lee, Tewatia picking up the wickets off Ali and Razzak.
@El Loco Loco Salihamidzic worked up a lively pace and had the tailenders in successive overs. @Aggz Agger finally taking the caught of Islam at point.
Time to pad up!
Great job by the bowlers to restrict them.Loco and Tewatia did a great job by taking out the important wickets.
Seems like another victory in our pocket!
PlanetCricket's second innings got off to a miserable start as Islam had @Anirudh. Anirudh LBW in the fifth over who made 11 runs from 15 balls.
@Varun Rustagi made 7, @Aggz Agger skied an attempted swipe at Shakib just before lunch when he had one run. Razzak than claimed his second scalp, having @Simon Kerrigan bowled for 7 runs.
Islam struck with his fifth ball of his second spell when @Matt121 Matthew Coldhill edged a delivery to second slip.
@The Author Bowden and @El Loco Loco calmed any nerves, though, and Loco will need just eight more runs for his century, while Bowden 24 not out has acted as a capable foil as PlanetCricket lead by 289 runs.
Both began carefully but accelerated as the game moved on with Loco first to 50 off 102 balls, followed by Bowden who reached his half-century off 149 balls.
The century stand came off 39 overs and then both players stepped up the rate taking two and three at regular interval.
Excellent bowling from Shakib, Razzak and Hossian pegged them back taking four wickets in spare of nine overs.
