Tail-enders Naeem Islam and Shafiul Islam frustrated England with maiden half-centuries as Bangladesh posted an impressive 419 in the second and final Test on Sunday.
Naeem (59 not out) and Shafiul (53) kept the England attack at bay with a 74-run stand for the ninth wicket, helping their team score the third-highest Test total in the process.
England were four for no loss in reply at lunch on the second day, with skipper Alastair Cook unbeaten on four and Jonathan Trott yet to open his account.
Bangladesh added 89 runs in 23.1 overs to their overnight total of 330-8, with Shafiul doing the bulk of scoring in an aggressive 51-ball knock which included 11 fours.
Shafiul, unbeaten on eight overnight, sought runs from the beginning as he hit paceman Stuart Broad for two successive fours. He then smashed spinners Graeme Swann and James Tredwell each for two boundaries in an over.
He fell soon after completing his half-century, caught by wicket-keeper Matt Prior off fast bowler Tim Bresnan.
Rubel Hossain (17) then added 31 runs for the last wicket with Naeem before being caught behind off Swann.
Naeem added 26 runs to his overnight score 33, hitting eight fours in a 172-ball knock.
Swann was the most successful bowler, with 4-114 off 36.1 overs, while Bresnan and debutant Tredwell finished with two wickets apiece.
England lead the series 1-0 following their 181-run victory in the opening Test in Chittagong.
