Dhaka - Pakistan bowled out Bangladesh for 203 in their first innings before lunch on the third day of the second and final Test in Dhaka on Friday.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq opted not to enforce the follow-on despite the tourists leading by 354 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Shakib Al Hasan remained unbeaten on 89 off 91 balls after the hosts resumed at the overnight score of 107-5.

Left-arm seamer Wahab Riaz and leg-spinner Yasir Shah picked up three wickets each.

Pakistan had made 557-8 declared in their first innings.

The first Test ended in a draw in Khulna last week.
