Mohammad Hafeez had missed a double - century twice in the past after coming close . He was dismissed for 196 against Sri Lanka in 2012 and had fallen short by three runs last year against New Zealand . But continuing on the flawless effort of the second day in Khulna , and on his recent Test from in general , Hafeez finally passed the landmark .
By the time he was dismissed for 224 , the best by a Pakistan batsman against Bangladesh , Hafeez had helped his team strengthen their hold on the Test with a lead of 80 , which then swelled to 205 by the end of the day after half - centuries from Misbah-ul-Haq , Asad Shafiq and sarfraz Ahmed .
