Bangladesh team tightened their grip on the second Test against Pakistan after opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored a fluent 52 on day two in Sylhet.

Bangladesh ended the day at 110/3 in their second innings, leading by 156 runs after bowling Pakistan out for 232. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and pacer Nahid Rana claimed three wickets each, while Babar Azam top-scored for Pakistan with 68.
