The hosts were reduced to 301 for six in 83 overs, needing another 10 runs to wipe out India's first innings lead.
Nightwatchman Shahadat Hossain frustrated the Indians as he made 40 from 74 deliveries, with four boundaries and a six, before he was caught at long-on off Harbhajan Singh . He added 68 runs for the fourth wicket with Mohammad Ashraful to continue Bangladesh's good showing in the second innings.
Ashraful fell soon after, in the very next over, when he was caught behind by wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni off Pragyan Ojha after a patient innings of 25 from 65 deliveries.
Captain Shakib Al Hasan tried to adopt a positive approach but managed just seven before he swept one straight to Gautam Gambhir at square leg off Ojha.
On day three, Tamim Iqbal slammed Bangladesh's fastest ever century in Test cricket to lead their strong reply in their second innings. Tamim, 20, countered attacked in superb fashion as he smashed 150, laced with 18 boundaries and three sixes in his 183-ball knock, before he was caught behind off Zaheer Khan .
Junaid Siddique also played a key role in Bangladesh's revival with a patient innings of 55 from 144 deliveries. He added 200 runs in 310 deliveries for the second wicket with Tamim before he also was caught behind by wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni off Zaheer.
Zaheer, who took three for 63 in 14 overs, claimed two quick wickets towards the end as Bangladesh closed the day on 228 for three in 60 overs.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit a fluent 89 from 167 deliveries to help India post a huge 544 for eight in their first innings. Rahul Dravid made a solid 111 before he was forced to retire after getting hit on his helmet by a bouncer from Shahadat Hossain.
Sachin Tendulkar, dropped twice, scored a fluent 143 from 182 deliveries, inclusive of 13 boundaries and a six, for his second successive century of the series.
Dravid and Tendulkar were involved in an unbroken stand of 222 runs for the third wicket before the former had to withdraw with injury. It was the 17th century partnership between the two champion batsmen setting a new world record for the most century partnerships in Test cricket. They went past West Indian openers Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes and Australians Mathew Hayden and Justin Langers, who shared 16 century partnerships each.
