Afghanistan are chasing 479 to win the one-off Test against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi, but need 347 more runs from their current position of 3-132 at the close of day four.

Bangladesh's Litton Das scored a century to put the Tigers into a commanding position. Das was given strong support by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who made an unbeaten 52 as the pair added 149 for the seventh wicket. Das completed his 117-ball century before Bangladesh declared three balls later. Both batters had been dropped twice during their partnership, and Afghanistan also missed run-out chances.

Afghanistan's captain Rahmat Shah, who made a century in the first innings, fell for 51. Opener Sediq Atal continues to resist, batting nearly four hours for an unbeaten 35, offering some hope of a rearguard effort on the final day.
