Dhaka, May 18 -- Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim have continued to stretch Bangladesh's lead over Pakistan on Day 3 of the Sylhet Test.

The Tigers started the day with the unfortunate dismissal of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (15) - the hero of the first Test - who was trapped before the stumps by Khurram Shahzad.

But Litton (48*) and Mushfiqur (39*) have carried on admirably, building on the advantage from the first innings to take Bangladesh to 203/4 at lunch on Monday.
