Fidel Edwards conceded only 40 runs from his spell as Bangladesh batted just 16 overs in the second session at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National.

Shakib Al Hasan was on 30 with Naeem Islam on six at the break.

After the break, the visitors quickly lost two more wickets — Kirk Edwards trapped lbw by Shakib, who also trapped Fidel Edwards for 9 to end the first innings.

The day's first success came in the 23rd over of the session when Samuels was caught and bowled by off-spinner NasirHossain (3-52) who claimed two wickets on Saturday.

Earlier, Shakib had Baugh caught by ImrulKayes, while Sammy hit his own wicket after failing to maintain his balance facing Shakib in the final over before the lunch break.
