CHITTAGONG: Bangladesh reached 136-6 in their second innings before rain forced stumps on the fourth day of the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Chittagong on Sunday.

Set a target of 398 runs, Bangladesh still require 262 runs for a win with skipper Shakib Al Hasan staying 39 not out alongside Soumya Sarkar, who has yet to score.

Skipper Rashid Khan claimed 3-36 while debutant Zahir Khan claimed 2-36 runs as Afghanistan came within four wickets of their second win in what is only their third Test in history.
