England are in the driving seat after a up-and-down fourth day of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong.
With a huge overnight lead, England put bat to ball from the off but Matt Prior (7) skied Shakib Al Hasan's delivery straight to Shahadat Hossain.
Graeme Swann's fine knock of 32 from 25 balls came to an end after his reverse sweep landed in the hands of Junaid Siddique, Al Hasan claiming his second quick wicket of the day, and fourth of the innings.
His dismissal brought about England's second declaration of the match, with Ian Bell unbeaten on 32 and his side on 209-7, leaving the hosts to chase 513 runs for the win.
Bangladesh made the worst possible start, losing chief hope Tamim Iqbal after he was bowled by Swann for just 14.
Steven Finn grabbed his second wicket of the match, finding the edge of Imrul Kayes' bat on 23 with Matt Prior taking an easy catch behind the stumps right on the lunch interval.
However, Siddique and Aftab Ahmed steadied things in the middle as they frustrated England through the first hour of the afternoon session.
But once again, their hard work was soon to be undone.
Ahmed (26) was dismissed after feathering a Tim Bresnan peach through to the gleeful Prior as he attempted a textbook cover drive only to miss out and hand his wicket to Alastair Cook's men.
Newcomer Mahmudullah (5) was soon to depart, playing a poor attacking stroke against Bresnan, but his delivery was too good and wiped out his leg stump.
The very next over captain Al Hasan (4) had a rush of blood to the head, just as he did in the first innings.
His attempted sweep from Swann's ball was adjudged to have struck him in line of the stumps and he was on his way, although replays suggested umpire Tony Hill called it wrong with the ball coming off the glove.
Bangladesh limped into the pavilion at tea on 125-5 and 388 from grabbing a very unlikely win.
But the final session of proceedings certainly belonged to the hosts.
Siddique and Mushfiqur Rahim battled in stoic fashion, keeping out frontline bowlers Stuart Broad, Bresnan, Finn and Swann as well as part-timers Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott, who were handed the ball briefly on a dying pitch.
At stumps on day four, Siddique on 68 from 199 balls and Rahim on 47 from 105 faced still remain and England must grab five final-day wickets to take the victory.
