Bangladesh's bowlers responded to have Afghanistan in trouble at 35-3 at lunch after eight wickets fell in the session.

Pace bowler Yamin Ahmedzai, who had figures of 2-39 to complement Masood's 5-79, provided the momentum-shifting breakthrough when he had Mehidy caught by Amir Hamza at backward point with a delivery that was well outside off.

Mehidy chased the delivery needlessly to throw away his wicket after scoring 48. Masood then undid veteran Mushfiqur Rahim, who fended a short delivery to slip to be out for 47.

After their dismissals, Bangladesh crumbled in two overs with Masood completing his five-wicket haul by rattling the stumps of Shoriful Islam in the 86th over

Bangladesh's fast bowlers also used the overcast conditions impeccably to leave Afghanistan in a tricky position.

Ebadot Hossain led the charge with 2-15 and regularly found edges that flew into gaps.

Left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam (1-6) snared the first wicket when he had Ibrahim Zadran (6) caught behind, before Ebadot got the better of Abdul Malik (17) and Rahmat Shah (9).

Captain Hashmatullah Shahid was unbeaten on 2 at the interval.

Bangladesh dominated the opening day of the one-off test Wednesday, with Najmul Hossain scoring 146 off 175 balls, including 23 fours and two sixes, and sharing a 212-run second-wicket stand with opener Mahmudul Hasan (76). (AP)
