After Taijul's dismissal, Mithun started to accelerate and picked up his fifty. Meanwhile, Shaheen Shah Afridi struck with the second new ball to send Rubel back.
Mithun was also gone a couple of balls later as he gloved a Naseem Shah delivery to keeper Mohammad Rizwan. Umpire Nigel Llong called it not out, but Pakistan took their third successful review of the day to send Mithun back.
Abu Jayed Chowdhury was the last wicket for Bangladesh as the tailender was run out callously.
Shaheen was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers as he picked up four wickets for 53. Haris Sohail and Mohammad Abbas picked up a couple of wickets each with Naseem Shah picking up the other.
