West Indies 355 and 207 for 3 (Bravo 100*, Kirk Edwards 86) lead Bangladesh 231 (Shakib 73, Naeem 45, Fidel Edwards 5-63) by 331 runs
Darren Bravo's maiden Test century put the West Indies in control of the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka after three days.
Resuming on a modest 204 for seven, the home side could only add 27 runs to their overnight total and headed back to the pavilion trailing by 124.
And a third-wicket partnership of 151 between first-innings centurion Kirk Edwards and Bravo took the game away from the Tigers before the latter finished unbeaten on exactly 100.
The West Indies ended the day on 207 for three, a lead of 331 runs.
Bravo lofted his second ball back over Shakib's head for a one-bounce four and then deposited him for six two overs later to set the tone for an uncharacteristically attacking innings.
Two fours and a six followed in a single Nasir Hossain over, leaving Bravo on 25 from 22 balls, and though the left-hander then adopted a more measured approach, his fourth four brought up the 50 stand.
He was dropped by wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim and slip Imrul Kayes in the same Shakib over, but progressed to 50 soon afterwards from 63 balls.
Edwards made just four from his first 34 balls before doubling his tally from the next and steadily began to build momentum in partnership with Bravo.
He lifted Shahadat Hossain for six and took two fours in an over from Shakib to reach a 115-ball half-century, and he and Bravo were unbeaten on 59 apiece at tea.
Edwards survived when television replays failed to prove whether a catch had carried to Shakib diving forward, and Suhrawati Shuvo had an lbw appeal against Bravo turned down.
Edwards welcomed Shakib back into the attack with a boundary and Bravo drove Shuvo to deep cover to pass his previous Test best of 80.
But a lapse in concentration cost Edwards his second century of the game when he missed a straight delivery from the debutant and was bowled for 86.
Nightwatchman Kemar Roach survived an lbw appeal and Bravo had a late escape when Shuvo narrowly beat his edge and appealed for a catch behind, but he reached three figures when he cut the final ball of the day for two.
Earlier, Bangladesh started slowly and Shuvo departed for 15 when he prodded Devendra Bishoo straight to Kraigg Brathwaite at short leg - and Nasir followed 11 balls later for 42.
Desperate for a single to keep the strike away from Shahadat, he snatched at one from Marlon Samuels that was neither full nor straight enough for the slog he was trying to play, giving Kirk Edwards the easiest of catches. Shahadat was then cleaned up by Bishoo (three for 62).
The tourists lost Brathwaite, run out by Rubel without scoring, and opening partner Kieran Powell (12) when he needlessly miscued Shakib Al Hasan to Nasir at mid-on, but Edwards and Bravo turned the tables.
