He had West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite caught down the leg side for 1 from his first delivery, and Raymon Reifer gloving his fifth delivery on 2. Nkrumah Bonner hadn’t scored when his off stump was bowled by Ahmed.
Campbell, 28 not out, and Blackwood, 17 not out, combined for 40 to get the home side back on track.
West Indies seemed in the morning like it was going to wrap up the match by mid-afternoon.
Bangladesh was reeling at 109-6 in the second innings and still trailing West Indies by 53 runs when Shakib and Nurul came together in the morning.
But showing the patience most of their teammates didn’t on a good batting track, they rubbed out the first-innings deficit through a wicketless middle session, and pushed Bangladesh 70 runs ahead when they were broken up soon after tea.
With the new ball, West Indies pacer Kemar Roach made Shakib drive straight to a man at short extra cover.
Shakib was out for 63, his third straight test half-century and second of the match. His demise ended a 123-run stand with Nurul.
They seemed to match each other run for run, as Nurul was on 60 at the time. He was out for 64 after 147 balls, also bagged by Roach.
Bangladesh started the day on 50-2 and got into deeper trouble with poor shots to regulation deliveries.
Roach conceded the only six of the Bangladesh second innings when Mustafizur Rahman blasted him over the third man boundary, but Roach had the last say by ending the innings by bowling Ebadot Hossain.
That gave Roach his 10th test five-for (5-53), and tied him with Michael Holding on the West Indies wicket-taking list: 249 and sixth place.
