Pakistan's 16-year-old paceman Naseem Shah became the youngest bowler to take a Test hat-trick as the hosts closed on victory over Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.
Shah's intervention late on the third day saw Bangladesh collapse from 124-2 to 126-6 in their second innings, still trailing by 86 runs.
He trapped Nazmul Shanto lbw, pinned Taijul Islam in front and then had Mahmudullah caught at first slip.
Pakistan made 445 with Babar Azam (143) and Shan Masood (100) hitting tons.
Shah broke the record held by former Bangladesh spinner Alok Kapali, who was 19 when he took three wickets in consecutive balls against Pakistan in 2003.
