Resuming from their overnight total of 217/4, Afghanistan suffered a catastrophic morning collapse, losing their final six wickets for just 23 runs under relentless pressure from Hasan Mahmud (5/55) and Ebadot Hossain (4/56). Hasan completed his historic hat-trick in the 83rd over by dismissing Ismat Alam, Qais Ahmad, and trapping Zia-ur-Rehman LBW via a successful DRS review, joining spin icons Alok Kapali (2003) and Sohag Gazi (2013) as the only Bangladeshis to achieve a Test hat-trick. Despite the collapse, Afghan captain Rahmat Shah carried his bat with an undefeated fourth Test century (105*). Armed with a 106-run first-innings advantage, Bangladesh reached 44/2 in their second innings at the lunch interval, losing Shadman Islam (13) and Muminul Haque (7) before Tanzid Hasan Tamim (24*) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto held firm to solidify the Tigers' commanding grip on the Test match.
