Liton could add just four runs to the overnight score but Shakib and Mehidy seized back the momentum with a 67-run partnership for the seventh wicket. The partnership ended when Shakib cut a loose to Kraigg Brathwaite at point after hitting five fours in his patient 150-ball knock.

The visitors dropped Mehidy at 24 as Shayne Moseley put down a simple catch at silly point off which would have given Warrican a maiden five-wicket Test haul. The all-rounder made the most of it, forging two other sizable partnerships of 44 and 57 runs with Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan respectively.

Taijul made 18 before being dismissed by Shannon Gabriel as Joshua Da Silva took a catch behind the stumps. Nayeem scored 24 off 46 balls with four boundaries, including three in a single over, before he was bowled by debutant Nkrumah Bonner for his maiden Test wicket.

Mehidy swept Warrican to bring his hundred off 160 balls but soon lost his wicket to Cornwall to bring an end to Bangladesh's innings.

Cornwall finished with 2-114 and Mustafizur Rahman was unbeaten on three runs.
