Zimbabwe opened up a 175-run lead but were left to rue a late collapse in the one-off Test against Bangladesh at the Harare Sports Club.
After dismissing the tourists for 287 - and a first innings lead of 83 - Zimbabwe were 69 without loss before Bangladesh captured four quick wickets for the addition of just 23 more runs.
At stumps on day three, the host nation was 4-92 with captain Brendan Taylor (five) and former skipper Tatenda Taibu (0) the not out batsmen.
Openers Tinotenda Mawoyo (35) and Vusi Sibanda (38) looked in good form before Sibanda, who made 78 in the first innings, fell to a catch at midwicket by substitute fielder Nasir Hossain off Rubel Hossain.
Ten runs later, Mawoyo was clean-bowled by Robiul Islam.
First innings centurion Hamilton Mazakadza then offered a feeble shot to Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hassan and was caught and bowled for five while night watchman Ray Price was leg before to Abdur Razzak, making only four runs.
At the start of the day, Bangladesh resumed on 3-107 in their first innings with Mohammad Ashraful moving on from his overnight 34 to 73 with captain Shakib Al Hassan scoring 68.
Test debutant Brian Vitori, a left-armer with some pace and aggression, led the Zimbabwe attack well and he took 4-66. Veteran spinner Ray Price also had some success with 2-34.
