The hosts showed no appetite to chase the stiff target and ended play on 173-3 in the 49th over, with Shakib Al Hasan unbeaten on 50 and newcomer Mominul Haqueu00a0on 22. Gazi, who hit an unbeaten 101 batting at No 8 on Saturday, joined Alok Kapali as only the second Bangladesh bowler to claim a Test hat-trick.u00a0
