West Indies beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia

Kraigg Brathwaite poses with the trophy and all his teammates join him for a group picture now. That is it from this series, it was a bit one-sided as West Indies were too strong to handle for Bangladesh but they have a chance to showcase their talent as the focus shifts on T20I cricket. The three-match series will start on Saturday, 2nd July at 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT). So, do join us early for the build-up. Cheers!

Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies says that the confidence of the guys on the back of the win was already high but the planning and execution were key. He then goes on to applaud the efforts of Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood and also mentions that the Bangladesh bowlers were pretty good as well. Adds that they want to bat for over a hundred overs and would like more batters to get to a century. Mentions that they need more partnerships and a bit more energy in the field to become better. Adds that all the pacers are pretty good and goes on to speak a few positive words about Roach, Phillip and Mayers. Ends by saying that it's all about attitude and it is not about who you are playing against and is looking forward to the next home red-ball series which is against Australia later in the year.

The skipper of Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan says that Test cricket is always difficult but they will take a lot of positives from this tour. Adds that after five months they will play a Test series at home and hence will go back and make a few adjustments. Mentions that their batting is not poor but they just need to concentrate a bit better and he believes that the side can compete with the best teams in the world. Also adds that they have a good string of pace bowlers and Khaled Ahmed did really well to pick up a five-fer which is pretty rare for their pacers but they need to play more as a team. Lastly, he mentions that the T20I and ODI squad will be more competent and hopes to put up a good fight.

Kyle Mayers is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH as well as the PLAYER OF THE SERIES for his all-around performance! Mayers says he just tried to be himself and it worked nicely. Adds that it is one of the best centuries as he wanted to do well in this series. Shares that he tries to make the batter play as much as possible and tries to adapt to the conditions. Tells that he carries the same mindset in all three formats and stays positive. On Kemar Roach, he is a role model as they look upon him. He gives his all and to see him achieve the milestone, Mayers is very happy for him.

Stay tuned for the Presentations...

West Indies will be high on confidence right now. It was a complete performance from them. The bowlers stepped up when it mattered the most and the batters came in with some crucial knocks to keep the team on top all the time. Recapping how the game went, the hosts after winning the toss and electing to bowl were clinical as they didn't allow many partnerships to grow in the first innings and kept Bangladesh to a bit under-par score of 234. Alzarri Joseph had an impressive outing as he took three wickets while Seales, Phillip and Mayers contributed with a decent spell as well. In reply, West Indies got a blistering start before losing their way in the middle. It was then Mayers and Blackwood who did the repair work and helped West Indies take the lead. Mayers scored a brilliant century in the process and helped the hosts to take a big lead of 174 runs. Later, Bangladesh had a poor start once again with the bat and they never really stood a chance against some fiery spell of bowling from the likes of Roach, Joseph and Seales. Nurul Hasan showed good determination but he ran out of partners and eventually with just 13 runs required to win, West Indies grabbed the series with ease.

Bangladesh have a lot of work to do. No doubt there is tons of skills but some poor shot selection and lack of role knowledge have cost them the series. Their batting woes are a big worry as some of the dismissals have been very soft and tame. The senior players didn't step up and the standards were pretty low for the youngsters. Their bowling was decent with a few good spells from the pacers, especially Khaled Ahmed but a few big partnerships allowed the game to slip away from them. All in all, there is a lot of work to be done on the visitors' side as they look to brush this series away and concentrate on the upcoming white-ball leg of the tour.

West Indies sweep the series 2-0! A win was inevitable for the hosts and the batters had to come out to complete the formalities. A clinical performance overall and they clinch 24 World Test Championship points as well. Day 4 saw rain playing a huge role but it was just delaying the result which was always tilting on the hosts' side.

FOUR! Fine enough and that will be it, John Campbell has hit the winning runs! West Indies have won the Test match and the series as well. This is drifted on the pads and Campbell just tickles it 'round the corner beating the man at fine leg to his left to pick up the boundary. West Indies win by 10 wickets!

0.1 0

A spicy start to the run chase! Ebadot Hossain delivers a short-pitched delivery, around off. The ball just shoots up and puts Kraigg Brathwaite in an awkward position as he tries to block. Brathwaite does well to keep it down in the end.

We are back for West Indies' reply. The players of Bangladesh are out in the middle. The sun is shining bright right now.

... The Run Chase ...

Right then, a spirited display from Nurul Hasan but his fine knock of 60* can only help Bangladesh achieve a lead of 12 runs but they have managed to avoid an innings defeat. West Indies bowlers were on the mark and Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales all ended with three wickets each. They were aggressive this morning and have bundled out the opposition in a hurry. Just 13 runs needed then for the hosts to win the match and clean sweep the Test series 2-0. It is now a question of how much time will their batters take to finish the job. Join us in a bit as the run chase is coming up next.

Is that run-out? The West Indies players seem certain and they are already running off the field. The replay shows that Khaled Ahmed is well outside the crease and it is OUT.

Khaled Ahmed is the last man in for Bangladesh.

Shoriful Islam is the new man in.

Jayden Seales (6-2-15-1) is back into the attack.

Finally, after a long delay. We are all set for the action. The players are out in the middle. Nurul Hasan and Mehidy Hasan will resume their innings. Kemar Roach to start the action on Day 4. Let's play...

... Day 4, Session 3 ...

UPDATE 12 am IST (6.30 pm GMT, the previous day) - Finally, we have some good news! The ground is ready for play and the resumption is just around the corner. Play is set to begin at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). There will be a minimum of 38 overs and play can go on till 3 am IST (9.30 pm GMT, the previous day). So, grab a cup of coffee and stay tuned for the action.

Meanwhile, West Indies have organized a ceremony for Kemar Roach who recently took his 250th Test wicket. Kishore Shallow, the Vice President of Cricket West Indies and Sir Curtly Ambrose are present as well. All his teammates stand beside him as he has been presented with an award for his outstanding achievement. Here is the man himself for a chat. Roach says there was a little bit of pressure when he didn't get a wicket in the first innings but he is tough mentally and he wanted to do the job. Adds that he was proud to get to the milestone. Informs there are injuries throughout his career but it is a good feeling to come back strong. Ends by thanking the coach and staff for the milestone.

UPDATE 10.40 pm IST (5.10 pm GMT) - The live news from the ground is that the conditions have improved quite a lot and there was an inspection about 10 minutes ago. The umpires will have another inspection at 11.45 pm IST (6.15 pm GMT) weather permitting. Stay tuned for further updates.

UPDATE - 10.27 pm IST (4.57 pm GMT) - The second inspection is going on currently as both the umpires check the condition of the ground. There are drastic improvements as no more puddles are found, still overcast but no rain now for the last 3-4 hours. Still, waiting for an official word though. Stay tuned.

UPDATE - 9.10 pm IST (3.40 pm GMT) - There is some news from the ground. The umpires have decided that Lunch will be taken at the normal time, i.e., 9.30 pm IST (4 pm GMT). There will be a second inspection at 10.30 pm IST (5 pm GMT). So, for now, all cricket lovers will have to play the waiting game for the next hour or so. Stay tuned for any further updates.

UPDATE 9 pm IST (3.30 pm GMT) - There is an inspection going on at the moment. The pitch continues to get hairdryed even though there hasn't been any rain for the last 2-3 hours. We should get an official word from the umpires really soon and the good news is that there are no puddles in sight.

UPDATE 8.23 pm IST (2.53 pm GMT) - The live pictures from the ground show that there's no rain which is a good sign. The groundsmen have worked hard and most of the puddles have disappeared. There will be an inspection soon by the umpires and we will bring you the latest update after that. Stay tuned.

UPDATE 7.42 pm IST (2.12 pm GMT) - Still no update regarding the start! The ground is wet and the groundsmen are working hard to get it ready. The condition though continues to be gloomy. Let's hope for the best. Stay tuned for further updates.

UPDATE 7.03 pm IST (1.33 pm GMT) - Right then, the groundsmen continue their hard work of making the ground ready for play at the soonest with inclement weather looming large. We will be back with the latest news from the ground at the earliest but for now, the start has been delayed. Stay tuned.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is pitchside. He says that the conditions are overcast and there was rain early in the morning as well. He adds that there are a few puddles all over the ground and the groundsmen are working hard. Adds that the forecast isn't the best for the day and the umpires will have an inspection soon. Stay tuned for further updates regarding the start of play.

Bangladesh simply do not seem to be learning from their mistakes. After a spirited showing with the ball early on Day 3, Khaled Ahmed was able to pick up his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket and helped his team clean up the opposition tail. The visitors did have a big lead to get rid of but a few loose shots at the wrong moments have cost them dearly. Najmul Hossain Shanto got well-set and just gave it away before the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan too was dismissed, leaving the tail well exposed. Can Bangladesh somehow manage to get through the first session without losing a wicket? Or will West Indies be able to get those remaining 4 wickets in a hurry? We'll find out soon.

West Indies came into Day 3 in a strong position but the tail wasn't able to hang on for too long and Kyle Mayers was the only one who mustered up some runs before getting out on 148. They did get bundled out for 408 but still had a substantial lead of 174 runs. When the hosts came out to bowl, it was yet again Kemar Roach who made the new ball talk and snatched up a couple of early wickets. Things became a bit slow in the middle but Alzarri Joseph came back with fire in his belly and late in the evening picked up a couple of wickets to make sure West Indies ended the day well ahead of the game.

Hello folks! A very warm welcome to Day 4 of the second Test match between West Indies and Bangladesh. The visitors still trail by 42 runs with 4 wickets in hand and the hosts certainly seem to be in a great position to seal the series 2-0. There was a lot of rain on Day 3 and that meant we lost more than an entire session's worth of play. Hopefully, Day 4 stays rain-free and the match can go on smoothly.

... Day 4, Session 1 ...

Right then, Bangladesh still trail by 42 runs and have just 4 wickets in hand. West Indies will be sniffing a clean sweep here and would want to finish off the game in the first session on Day 4 itself. Having lost a lot of overs on Day 3 due to rain, play on Day 4 will begin much earlier, at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). Can Bangladesh manage to force West Indies to bat once more? Or will the hosts make light work of the Bangladeshi tail? Find out on Day 4. Do join us early for the build-up as well. Till then, take care and goodbye!

The batting woes continue for Bangladesh, more than skill it is the lack of a proper shot selection that puts them in precarious positions such as the one they are in at the moment. Khaled Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan all starred with the ball on Day 3 and it was Ahmed whose hard work paid off as he picked up a maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Trailing by 174 runs when they came out to bat, Bangladesh yet again lost wickets early in the innings and even though Najmul Hossain Shanto did manage to do a bit of repair work alongside skipper Shakib Al Hasan, Shanto too gave into temptation. With just one recognized batting pair left at the crease, the visitors need to do well to not lose by an innings. They certainly need a miracle here.

West Indies mustered up a substantial lead of 174 runs and with the overcast conditions, they certainly got extra help while bowling. Almost an entire session was lost due to rain after about one hour of play in the morning but once play resumed, Kemar Roach was in the zone and got early breakthroughs for his side. He went past the 250-wicket mark in Test cricket, surpassing Michael Holding in the process as well. The Windies pacers faced a bit of a resistance from the opposition but Alzarri Joseph bowled a fiery spell towards the end of the day which brought him a couple of wickets and has put West Indies in pole position of winning the game.

Day 3 is generally known as the moving day in a Test match but it has been a bit of a stop-start day here. The game however has moved along nicely and is nearing its final stages. West Indies started the day in a good position and even though they couldn't muster up as many runs as they would have liked, they did get past the 400-run mark, something that they haven't done on this ground since 2008, thanks to a big ton from Kyle Mayers. The Bangladeshi bowlers were good on Day 3 and did manage to bundle out the opposition fairly soon.

The players are going off! The groundsmen have been on their toes for the last few minutes and it has gotten really dark now. The umpires have a chat and signal for the players to go off. This might be the last bit of play for the day it seems as the West Indies players can be seen shaking hands with each other. The live pictures from the ground depict that there is heavy rain at the moment and even the groundsmen are struggling to keep a hold of the covers. The official word is that it will be Stumps on Day 3!

Mehidy Hasan walks in with Bangladesh in a spot of real bother.

DRINKS! With just one hour remaining in the day's play, the players take a breather. It is also getting darker by the minute as more and more grey clouds appear. West Indies are in total control of the match at the moment and one more wicket here in the next few overs might all but secure victory for them. Shakib Al Hasan is still out there but needs a world of support from Nurul Hasan to make the opposition bat again.

Kemar Roach (8-1-22-3) is back on. Also, the ground staff are once again bracing themselves around the boundary ropes, so there might be a bit of rain around the corner. Hopefully not though.

Nurul Hasan comes in

Alzarri Joseph (4-0-17-0) is back for his second spell.

Shakib Al Hasan seems to be in a bit of pain here. That last delivery from Jayden Seales pinged him on one of his fingers on the bottom hand and that can be really painful. The physio is out and having a look. Shakib gets his finger strapped and he is good to go.

There is a slight drizzle which isn't too bad but the umpires look at the ground staff waiting for their signal. For now, play can go on but if gets any heavier than this, there might be yet another delay as the ground staff stay on their toes waiting patiently around the boundary ropes. There is still sunshine, so it might only be a passing drizzle.

DRINKS! Bangladesh still trail by 107 runs and they have 6 wickets in hand. Kemar Roach has been brilliant up front once again but there have been a few loose shots from the batters as well. Right now, there are a few dark clouds hovering around the ground but the sun is still out which is a good sign. It remains to be seen, as to how Bangladesh will negate the opposition bowlers and if they can go into Day 4 without losing more than half their side.

Shakib Al Hasan walks out to the middle.

A slight halt in play as Litton Das wants to change his bat.

Once again in the game, there is a bit of a worry about the condition of the ball. Umpire Joel Wilson checks it thoroughly and deems that it is good enough for play.

Jayden Seales is brought into the attack now.

We are back for the final session. West Indies players are ready on the field. Litton Das will join Najmul Hossain Shanto in the middle. Kemar Roach will complete his over.

...Day 3, Session 3...

Update 12.05 am IST (6.35 pm GMT, previous day) - The live visual shows the covers are coming off and the resumption must be just around the corner. Stay tuned. Tea has been taken so the game will resume at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, previous day), if the weather permits. This small session belongs to West Indies and to be precise Kemar Roach who ran through Bangladeshi top order. The visitors need to make sure that they don't lose any more wickets in the final session. Join us in a bit.

The umpire signals out as he rushes off the field because the rain has got heavier and the covers are on. The forecast suggests it will be on and off like this throughout the day. At the moment, the whole ground is not covered so we can anticipate it is a passing shower and hope we resume the innings quickly. Stay tuned for further updates.

Drizzles have started again!

Anamul Haque is the new man in.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is in at number 3.

Alzarri Joseph to share the new ball with Kemar Roach.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Najmul Hossain Shanto just couldn't resist the temptation and he will be mightily disappointed with his shot selection. This is full and wide, enticing the batter to go for the drive and Shanto goes for the expansive cover drive. Shanto's feet though go nowhere and the outside edge is found. Easy catch behind the sticks for Joshua Da Silva and Alzarri Joseph strikes after probing away for a bit. Shanto departs in the 40s and Bangladesh still trail by 70 runs.

29.5 0

Length this time, around middle and off. This is kept out by Shanto.

After a bit of a discussion, Kraigg Brathwaite does go for the review. UltraEdge shows that there's no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds as the ball is going on to hit leg stump. Brilliant review from West Indies and they have the fourth wicket now.

OUT! LBW! Kemar Roach serves a length ball and the ball jags back in sharply from around off stump. Anamul Haque looks to work it leg side but misses and gets pinged on the front pad. Joshua Da Silva pouches the ball behind the stumps as well. The appeal though is for LBW and it is given! Anamul Haque reviews it straight away as he thinks it is a bit too high. UltraEdge shows that there's no bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the top of middle and leg. The on-field decision will stay and with that, the rain has gotten heavier. Umpire Joel Wilson raises his finger while rushing back into the dressing room, a sight probably never seen before.

Length this time, angling into middle and leg, Haque keeps it out.

Bangladesh and Iqbal are off the mark! A length ball, outside off. Iqbal punches off the back foot to deep point for a single.

We are back! Bangladesh have an uphill task of wiping off the Windies' lead of 174 runs and then setting a target. The umpires and the players are back on the field. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are all set to open the innings for Bangladesh. As usual, Kemar Roach has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

...Third Innings...

West Indies were off to a superb start with Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell putting a century opening stand but after that, the Windies started to lose the grip and were looking in a bit of trouble. Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood joined to repair things and the duo added around 100-odd runs to put their team in lead. Once, Blackwood fell, Mayers started to show his muscle as he scored at a quick rate. He and Joshua Da Silva helped West Indies get past the 100 lead but Day 3 wasn't what they hoped for as only 68 runs came through. Excellent bowling performance from Khaled Ahmed, he ended with five wickets while Hasan got three and he was the initiater and these two made sure Bangladesh do not give away a big lead.

So, West Indies have a lead of 174 runs. It was Kyle Mayers who was there in the middle and was building on the overnight lead but once his wicket fell there wasn't much batting from the other side. Credit to Bangladesh bowlers, they have not allowed much runs to score and took all the wickets quickly. Joshua Da Silva went early and then, they kept things tight further to bundle out West Indies for 408.

Jayden Seales is the last man in.

Shoriful Islam comes back into the attack, replacing Mehidy Hasan.

Anderson Phillip is the new man in.

Mehidy Hasan to continue from the opposite end.

We are back for the second session on Day 3! The players and the umpires are out in the middle. Kyle Mayers and Kemar Roach to resume their stay at the crease. Khaled Ahmed will get proceedings underway after the long interval.

... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

UPDATE 10.04 pm IST (4.34 pm GMT) - Great news coming from the ground. Play is set to resume at 10.15 pm IST (4.45 pm GMT). Only 5 overs of play have been lost. Tea will be taken at 12.40 am IST (7.10 pm GMT, the previous day) and play can go on till 3.30 am IST (10 pm GMT, the previous day).

UPDATE 9.47 pm IST (4.17 pm GMT) - There is some good news! The rain has stopped and the covers too are coming off. It is now time for the groundstaff to work their magic. There will be an inspection at 10 pm IST (4.30 pm GMT). We will be back with the latest update shortly.

UPDATE 9.15 pm IST (3.45 pm GMT) - The live pictures from the ground depict that the rain has now gone down to a slight drizzle but the covers are still on. Hopefully, the rain disappears completely and the ground can be ready for play soon. Lunch will be taken at 9.20 pm IST (3.50 pm GMT) which is 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

UPDATE 8.33 pm IST (3.03 pm GMT) - The live pictures from the ground show that the rain has gotten heavier and seems to be hanging around for a bit more than expected. There is a forecast for showers throughout the day but hopefully, play can resume at the earliest. Stay tuned for further updates.

And, we are off! The rain has arrived and the groundstaff sprint onto the pitch with the covers. The players hurry back to the pavilion as well. The rain is very heavy but there's strong wind as well which might be an indication that it's just an intermittent shower. Stay tuned for further updates.

It is getting darker and darker by the minute at the ground and there is a strong breeze blowing across as well. The groundstaff are bracing themselves which is never a good sign.

Kemar Roach is the new man in.

There seems to be a bit of an issue with the ball. The umpires are having a look at it and they decide that the ball isn't passing the gauge test. It will be changed.

Alzarri Joseph walks in at number 8.

Mehidy Hasan (31-8-68-2) to bowl from the opposite end.

We are ready for action on Day 3! There are some clouds hovering around the ground but for the moment, the sun is peeping through those clouds. The umpires and the players are out in the middle with Kyle Mayers and Joshua Da Silva set to resume their stay at the crease. Khaled Ahmed to start proceedings with the ball on Day 3. Let's play...

PITCH REPORT - Stacy-Ann King and Samuel Badree are pitchside. Badree says that there has been some overnight and early morning rain but hopes the day remains free of rain. Adds that the pitch is a bit grassy. King adds that Day 2 was good for batting but there's some moisture today and the Bangladeshi bowlers might get more out of the pitch early on Day 3.

Jermaine Blackwood is down for a quick chat. He says that batting wise it was great and Kyle Mayers scoring his second Test ton was commendable and is happy for him. Mentions that he loves batting with Mayers and they gel well together and both of them can score at will but he was trying to support Mayers yesterday. Adds that now he takes a lot more overs to get in and has made a slight change in the way he bats and it is coming off for him.

Bangladesh bowlers toiled hard on Day 2 but they allowed two big partnerships to happen and that took the game a bit away from them. The visitors will try and make an impact in the first hour itself or else Kyle Mayers will flex his muscles once again and Bangladesh will fall more behind in this game. Who do you think will dominate the opening session? We wait to find out. Stay tuned for further updates.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the action of Day 3 in this second Test match between Bangladesh and West Indies. The hosts are pretty well ahead in this game as they lead by 106 runs with 5 wickets in hand. They have two set-batters at the crease who look pretty much in a comfortable position after a bit of panic situation created due to losing a flurry of wickets. The openers got off to a good start and later, as West Indies were slipping away, Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood put on a stand of more than 100. Blackwood fell but Joshua Da Silva made sure that they end Day 2 on a high.

...Day 3, Session 1...

That's a wrap to the second day's play. West Indies have wrestled back the control of this Test match and can dictate terms. Bangladesh, on the flip side, once again find themselves behind the 8-ball and will need a big effort on Sunday to stay relevant. The first ball on Day 3 will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as usual, our build-up will begin well in advance. Don't forget to join us. Cheers!

The evening session started with an early wicket for the tourists as they got rid of Blackwood. Bangladesh served 12 overs of spin bowling after Tea, in the span of 30 minutes or so, as they tried to rush through their overs. Bangladesh could have attacked the new batter more with their pacers but they decided otherwise which in a way allowed Joshua Da Silva to settle down. After delaying the second new ball by four overs, once the tourists took it, both the batters started to deal with it easily and the runs also came at a good click.

John Campbell comes up for a chat! The West Indian opener says that he was pretty pleased to get a century stand with Kraigg Brathwaite. Tells that a lot of balls kept a bit low on Day 1 and the bounce was pretty uneven. Tells that Kyle Mayers' knock was very special and he feels that it has set up the game perfectly for them. Mentions that a lead over 100 is pretty handy on this surface.

There was a period on Day 2 when the hosts were under the cosh. Bangladesh had the momentum behind them and looked threatening to run through the West Indian batting order. But two individuals known for their aggressive batting style, Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood, joined forces and adopted a phlegmatic approach. Kyle was still the aggressor in their century stand, ready to flex his muscles whenever the opportunity presented itself, while Blackwood remained calm and composed. It was prudent cricket from the pair where they showed plenty of resolve and fortitude.

A terrific day of Test cricket comes to a close. Bangladesh needed a strong performance after a below-par outing on Day 1, but they struggled to make early inroads. However, 30 minutes before the Lunch break, they struck gold and picked up wickets in a cluster to peg the home team on the back foot. Just when this Test match started to tilt in their favour, the afternoon session happened, a wicket-less one, and that took the wind out of the Bangladesh sails.

Satisfaction and relief writ large on the faces of the West Indian players. Kyle Mayers returns after doing a responsible job for his team. An unbeaten century against his name! The feeling must be great as he raises his bat on his way to the dressing room. His 92-run stand with Joshua Da Silva has cornered the Bangla team and West Indies have built a lead of 106 runs with five wickets left in the kitty.

Shakib Al Hasan returns from the opposite end.

Mehidy Hasan (28-8-65-2) is back into the attack.

Shakib Al Hasan is back into the attack. 0/30 in his 13 overs thus far.

DRINKS! Bangladesh got rid of Blackwood early in the session but since then, Mayers and Joshua Da Silva have done well to keep their wickets intact. Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan rushed through their overs after the dismissal of Blackwood as the Windies batters found it hard to score runs. However, with the introduction of the new ball, the run-scoring has become a bit easier and with a lead of 57, West Indies are firmly in control here.

Khaled Ahmed replaces Shoriful Islam now.

The second new ball has been taken by Bangladesh! Shakib Al Hasan delayed it by four overs and let's see how things pan out with this brand new ball. Also, Shoriful Islam is back into the attack.

The reserve umpire comes out and hands the new ball to one of the umpires. Bangladesh have not opted for it yet.

Will Shakib Al Hasan take the new ball here? No, it will be Mehidy Hasan to continue.

Bangladesh bowled the last 8 overs in no time and the second new ball is available now! They have decided to not take it immediately though.

Joshua Da Silva is the new batter. West Indies lead by 14 runs.

Welcome back, folks! It is time for the final session of the day and Bangladesh players make their way out to the middle now. Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood are also out there to resume their innings. Shakib Al Hasan will start with the ball. Here we go...

… DAY 2, SESSION 3 …

Bangladesh, on the other hand, would be disappointed with how things panned out in the afternoon session. They had momentum on their side coming into this session but gave away too many loose deliveries early in the session and that allowed the Windies batters to get their confidence back. Both the current batters are naturally aggressive and if Bangladesh don't get their act right in the final session, things can drift away from them quite quickly. We will be back for the final session of the day at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). Stay tuned.

A fantastic session for the home team! Just what the doctor ordered for them after a mini-collapse of sorts at the backend of the first session. They have scored 111 runs in this session and have taken a lead of 14 runs now. This century stand between Mayers and Blackwood has surely brought West Indies back in control of this game. Mayers was the aggressor between the two and took some risks early on. However, he eventually settled in quite nicely and both these batters are looking set for a big one here.

Shakib Al Hasan comes back into the attack.

Ebadot Hossain (14-6-26-0) is back on.

Mehidy Hasan (13-2-42-1) is back into the attack now.

Drinks break. A steady hour after Lunch for West Indies to bring back some sanity into their innings. It's been a good partnership between Jermaine Blackwood and Kyle Mayers in which the latter has shown more intent and looked to take a few risks as well. The deficit is now down to 38 runs and Bangladesh will be hoping for a wicket or two after this break to stay in the hunt.

Khaled Ahmed (12-1-41-2) returns to have another burst.

Shakib Al Hasan brings himself into the attack for the first time on Day 2. 0 for 9 in his 2 overs so far.

Shoriful Islam (10-4-34-1) is back into the attack.

Mehidy Hasan to start from the other end. He got a big wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite in the first session, can he get another one early after Lunch?

Welcome back to the afternoon session! Bangladesh players are in a huddle and after some last minute tips from Shakib Al Hasan, they disperse to take their respective positions. Jermaine Blackwood and Kyle Mayers also march out to resume their innings. Ebadot Hossain will start with the ball for Bangladesh. Here we go...

… DAY 2, SESSION 2 …

West Indies, on the other hand, would be wondering how they messed things up in the session where they were motoring along quite nicely. Campbell departed after another fine knock and after that, the skipper, Brathwaite and Reifer steadied the ship for the Windies. However, just when it was looking like West Indies will go through this session without further damage, the backbone of the West Indian batting line-up, Brathwaite was clean bowled. Suddenly panic kicked in as Reifer departed in the very next over and Bonner too did not last long. West Indies still trail by 97 and we surely have an interesting game on the cards, folks! Do join us for the afternoon session at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT).

What a comeback this has been from Bangladesh! They looked down and out for the most part of the session with nothing much happening for the bowlers but Mehidy Hasan got rid of Brathwaite and that triggered a collapse as Bangladesh eventually managed to take four wickets in the morning session. Have to say, the session has belonged to Bangladesh. They got just a solitary wicket in the first hour of play after Campbell and Brathwaite put together a century stand. However, some brilliant bowling by Mehidy and Khaled Ahmed in the last phase of this session brought life to Bangladesh's bowling effort.

Kyle Mayers is the next man in.

Jermaine Blackwood walks in next to steady the shaky ship of West Indies. Two new batters at the crease and Bangladesh would love one more wicket before Lunch.

Nkrumah Bonner walks in next. West Indies trail by 103 runs.

Once again the hoop is out to check the shape of the ball. This is the third time Bangladesh have complained and they are third time lucky. The umpires have asked for the replacement as the ball got stuck in the hoop and didn't pass the test.

Again there is an issue reported by Bangladesh. They are not happy with the shape of the ball. The umpires though feel that it's in good enough shape to continue...

Spin for the first time this morning, Mehidy Hasan is getting ready to bowl. He bowled just one over last evening and went for 9 runs.

DRINKS! Bangladesh have broken the opening stand in the last hour but not before they have taken West Indies to a very strong position. Kraigg Brathwaite is looking quite solid in the middle and this is a big chance for Reifer to make this opportunity count. Shoriful has provided the breakthrough for Bangladesh and with this pitch offering some uneven bounce, bowling in the line of the stumps could be a way forward for the Bangladeshi bowlers. They have been much better with their control this morning but they need wickets to put some pressure back on the Windies. Khaled Ahmed returns to bowl after the break.

Raymon Reifer walks in at number 3.

Shoriful Islam (6-3-19-0) is back into the attack.

Khaled Ahmed to start from the other end.

We are all set for Day 2, folks! The Bangladesh players make their way out to the middle. The two overnight batters for West Indies, John Campbell and Kraigg Brathwaite also make their way into the middle. It will be Ebadot Hossain to start with the ball for Bangladesh. Here we go...

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree and Stacy-Ann King are down for the Pitch Report. Badree says some of the cracks opened up a little bit more and it might help bowlers today. King adds that there was more movement for the bowlers in Antigua. Badree concludes by informing that straighter lines brought rewards for the bowlers on Day 1 and that will be the game plan for the bowlers to bowl straight, wicket to wicket line.

As we wait eagerly for the action to unfold on Day 2 in St Lucia, across the Atlantic ocean, England and New Zealand are fighting it out in what is turning out to be a fascinating Test match at Headingley. England took the lead of 31 runs at the end of their first innings as they stitched together another breathtaking fightback to end with 360 after being restricted to 55/6. The Black Caps currently have 9 wickets in hand and have a lead of 21 runs, we are surely set for an exciting finish in that game. In this game too, West Indies batted quite positively on Day 1 scoring at a run rate of over 4, we are surely moving into a new era of Test cricket and let’s hope we have a quality day of Test cricket here at Gros Islet, St. Lucia.

The lead for Bangladesh is still 167 but West Indies have all 10 wickets in hand, courtesy of a splendid opening stand between Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell in the final session of the first day. Both of them looked quite comfortable in the middle and Bangladesh have a tough task ahead after they failed to put up a formidable first-innings total. Still, a lot of cricket to play though and if Bangladesh bowlers can get some early wickets in the morning session, things can change around quite quickly. Can the Bangla Tigers roar back into this game? Or will West Indies build on the good work they did on Day 1? A crucial first session coming up.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between West Indies and Bangladesh. Day 1 provided us with some engrossing cricket with Bangladesh starting off the day with a much better application with the bat than they did in the first Test. However, as the day progressed, West Indies lifted their game and are now in a position to dominate if they continue to bat the way they did in the final session of Day 1.

… DAY 2, SESSION 1 …

Bangladesh would be gutted by the fact that they have missed out on a golden opportunity to get a formidable score in the first innings after setting a platform for the same in the morning session. Tamim Iqbal was quite positive at the top of the order and Mahmudul Hasan Joy too gave him good company. However, from 105-2, Bangladesh crumbled to 165-7 and it was only because of the effort of Litton Das and some handy runs from the tailenders that Bangladesh got to a respectable total, though it looks below-par after the way West Indies have batted so far. The Bangladesh bowlers, much like their Windies counterparts, have been guilty of bowling way too many boundary balls. They needed someone to get a big hundred but that did not happen and it is upto their bowlers now to bring them back in this game. We will be back with our coverage on Day 2 and the first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Our build-up though begins a lot earlier. So do join us for the same. Cheers!

James Siddons, the batting coach of Bangladesh, comes up for a quick chat. Says that they were a lot more patient and left the balls well. Adds that West Indies bowled well but Bangladesh didn't bat for long. Mentions that they need to bat longer and they are failing to do that. Tells that Litton Das and Tamim Iqbal looked fantastic but need to score big runs. Smiles and adds that a couple of umpiring decisions didn't go their way. Further says that there was no swing and admits that it's not a 234 pitch. He is happy though with the opening stand but is disappointed that they fell short of a good total.

The pitch at St. Lucia was expected to assist the pacers but surprisingly it has not been as helpful to the pacers as expected. The Windies bowlers in search of that magic deliveries ended up bowling way too many boundary deliveries and though they pulled things back a bit with two wickets in that first session, overall the bowling was not upto the mark. However, there was still enough to trouble the batters if the bowlers managed to hit good lengths consistently and that is what the hosts did in the second and third sessions and that brought wickets at regular intervals. Credit should be given to Anderson Philip, the man on his Test debut who provided the breakthroughs when his team needed it the most, breaking a solid opening partnership first and then getting rid of Anamul Haque to trigger a collapse of sorts. Other bowlers too chipped in though the boundary balls also kept coming every now and then and Bangladesh eventually managed to cross 200.

A commanding performance from the home team in the final session! West Indies have started off solidly with the bat and the openers have brought the deficit down to 167 after bundling out Bangladesh for 234 earlier in the evening session. Have to say, West Indies have bagged this first day of play and would be looking to cash in with the bat on what looks like a very good batting strip. Bangladesh, on the other hand, started the day on a positive note but in Test cricket, you need to keep the intensity going over a long period of time and that is where Bangladesh lacked and gave away the advantage they gained after the morning session.

We will have a change of ball here! The current ball does not go through the ring and that makes umpires call for a box of balls. They have found the replacement and we are ready to resume.

Shoriful Islam is back into the attack.

Mehidy Hasan is into the attack now.

Ebadot Hossain is into the attack now.

Shakib Al Hasan comes into the attack.

Khaled Ahmed to start from the other end.

126.3 W 0

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Jubilation for Khaled Ahmed as he gets his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Lovely delivery this, around the top of off and just shaping away a touch after pitching. Jayden Seales has a little dab at it and gets the outside edge. Nurul Hasan dives down to his left to take a good catch. West Indies bowled out for 408 and they lead by 174 runs!

A review for a caught behind! The original decision is NOT OUT! It will remain not out as the UltraEdge shows no bat is involved. Coming to the ball - It is full and outside off. Joshua Da Silva looks to drive away from his body but misses. There is an appeal but the umpire is not interested. Shakib takes a review more in hope and it eventually results in Bangladesh losing a review.

Looking good to do the same again. Short delivery on middle, Mayers comes up with a short-arm jab and sends it flying over square leg for a biggie. The most impressive thing about this knock is that he came in when his team was under some serious pressure, he weathered the storm and is now cashing in!

OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Khaled Ahmed is a rhythm bowler and he is in a fantastic rhythm at the moment. Serves a shortish ball around off, plenty of energy again as he hits the deck hard and gets the ball to change its line after pitching. It hurries onto the batter, Nkrumah Bonner is on his toes to defend but all he manages is an inside edge and it rattles the stumps behind. Two wickets in the over and the hosts are pinned on the back foot at the stroke of Lunch.

OUT! BOWLED! Raymon Reifer departs now and two wickets in successive overs for Bangladesh. This dismissal is quite similar to the one of Shakib Al Hasan on Day 1. Bangladesh are clawing their way back in this game now. Khaled Ahmed keeps it short and it is around off. Raymon Reifer looks to guide it square of the wicket on the off side but gets an inside edge of his blade and it goes on to shatter the stumps. Raymon Reifer departs after getting a good start and he will be disappointed here.

This one is nicely tossed up in the air, it drifts around middle and off as Kraigg Brathwaite lunges to defend the trajectory of the ball. But it lands and straightens to beat the outside edge and goes on to strike the stumps. Kraigg Brathwaite is completely bamboozled.

Good positive start from Kraigg Brathwaite! Islam starts with a full delivery on off. Kraigg Brathwaite just pushes it gently through the mid off region. The fielder though cuts it off before it reaches the fence and the batters run three.

It is time for the West Indies to start their first innings now. The Bangladesh players are in a huddle and they disperse now to take their respective positions. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Shoriful Islam has a brand new Dukes ball in his hand. Here we go...

.... Second Innings ...

If we ignore the variable bounce, it appears to be a great batting strip. Bangladesh have wasted a good chance to put a massive total on the board and will have to make use of the new ball to pick early wickets. Let's see how things pan out in the remaining part of the day's play. Stay tuned...

It was hard work for West Indies in the first session on a pitch that had the reputation of being juicy for the pacers. There wasn't too much help for them, but through disciplined and consistent lines, the hosts started to create inroads in the afternoon session and extended the good work after Tea. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales picked up three wickets apiece and were the most successful bowlers whereas debutant Anderson Phillip also bagged a couple of wickets. Kemar Roach had an off day and remained wicket-less, and he also was taken for aplenty by the lower order of Bangladesh.

Some crucial runs from the Bangladesh tail, and the tourists have ended up with a decent total in the first innings. If you consider their batting effort in Antigua, this certainly is a much-improved performance. That said, after the kind of courage they showed in the morning session, it's disappointing that they got bundled out in the evening session itself. Litton Das stood out with the bat, along with Tamim Iqbal, and there were starts for a few batters as well, but the wickets fell at regular intervals to hamper their progress.

Khaled Ahmed is the number 11 batter.

Kemar Roach is removed from the attack. In comes Jayden Seales...

Shoriful Islam is the next man in.

Alzarri Joseph (11-1-37-2) is back into the attack now.

Ebadot Hossain walks out to the middle.

Kyle Mayers to start from the other end.

Welcome back, folks! We are all set for the final session of Day 1. The West Indian players make their way out to the middle and the two Bangladesh batters, Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan are also back to resume their innings. Jayden Seales will start the proceedings after Tea. Here we go...

… DAY 1, SESSION 3 …

The afternoon session belonged to West Indies! With the pitch offering very little assistance to the bowlers, the hosts resorted to disciplined lines and reaped rich rewards. They got lucky with two umpire's call going their way, and a couple more came their way courtesy of some accurate and sharp bowling. Bangladesh have lost the small advantage gained in the morning session and would be aiming to wrestle back some control in the final session. Litton Das has looked in control during his stay and a big responsibility lies on his shoulders to bat with the lower order and take the visitors towards a decent total. Do join us at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day) for the remainder of Day1.

Kyle Mayers to bowl the final over before Tea. 5-0-24-1 are his figures so far.

Anderson Phillip is leaving the field. Devon Thomas is the substitute now.

Bowling change. Jayden Seales to have another spell. 1 for 30 in his 8 overs so far.

Mehidy Hasan is the new batter.

Change in bowling. Alzarri Joseph is back for another burst. 7-1-23-1 are his figures thus far.

Kemar Roach (9-1-24-0) is back on.

Nurul Hasan is the next man in.

DRINKS! West Indies have done well to take two wickets in this first hour after Lunch and the pressure is now back on Bangladesh. The tourists have been good with the bat so far but they would like this pair of Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan to bat long here. The pitch is not as pacer-friendly as everyone expected it to be at the start of this game and one feels that a good first innings total will be a crucial factor for Bangladesh. West Indies, on the other hand, would know that they just need to bowl with discipline here and a wicket or two more can open the floodgates for them. An interesting hour of play coming up.

Jayden Seales (6-3-16-0) is back into the attack.

There seems to be some problem with the sightscreen! Litton Das walks to the umpire and signals something towards the sightscreen. All is good now and we are ready to resume.

Shakib Al Hasan walks out to the middle now.

Litton Das is the next man in.

Anderson Phillip (4-0-15-1) is brought back into the attack.

Kemar Roach (6-1-17-0) to bowl from the other end.

We are back for the afternoon session! The West Indies players make their way out to the middle. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Anamul Haque, the two young Bangladesh batters, also walk out to resume their innings. This is going to be a very crucial session and it will be Kyle Mayers to start with the ball. Najmul Hossain Shanto is on strike. Here we go...

… DAY 1, SESSION 2 …

West Indies didn't extract the kind of movement and bounce that was expected this morning. To add to it, they bowled too many boundary deliveries, which allowed Bangladesh off the hook. Debutant Anderson Phillip provided them with the first breakthrough, and then a loose shot saw the downfall of Tamim minutes before Lunch. The tourists have fared a lot better with the bat, left the balls quite patiently, and the same kind of application will be expected from them in the afternoon session. Can they build on their start? Do join us at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT) to find out.

The wicket of Tamim Iqbal at the backend, otherwise it was turning out to be that kind of a session which would have put a big smile on the face of Bangladesh. The conditions were expected to be tough, the history of this venue certainly suggested so, and losing the toss was the last thing the visiting team would have wished for! That said and done, Shakib's boys responded with a lot of guts and application. Tamim Iqbal led from the front with his positive attitude, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy also offered decent support in seeing off the new ball. The West Indian bowlers tried almost everything but without much success in the first hour.

Jayden Seales will be eyeing another wicket before Lunch.

Anamul Haque, the man making a comeback to the Test team after 8 years, walks in next. His last Test match was at this very venue where he managed scores of 9 and 0. Can he make a strong return?

Some issues with the shape of the ball. The umpire checks it through the ring and has asked for a replacement. A decent nut is being picked and here we go again...

Raymon Reifer is brought into the attack now.

DRINKS! After a good solid start by Bangladesh, Anderson Phillip, the debutant has provided the breakthrough in his first over and brought some respite for the Windies. They would be looking to capitalise on this breakthrough now and get a couple of more wickets before Lunch. From Bangladesh's point of view, it is critical that they don't lose wickets in a cluster here and the new batter, Najmul Hossain Shanto needs to support Tamim Iqbal here who is batting quite well.

The debutant, Anderson Phillip is into the attack now.

Alzarri Joseph comes into the attack.

Jayden Seales to share the new ball from the opposite end.

Right then, it's time to get underway. Anderson Phillip gets his Test cap from Kemar Roach, and now the West Indian players are spreading on the field. ​Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are the openers for Bangladesh. It's going to be their nemesis, Kemar Roach, to kick start proceedings with the new ball. Both teams take the knee to show their support for the BLM movement. Let's play...

Pitch Report - Stacy-Ann King is inspecting the playing area. She says that the sun is out and there is a nice calming breeze blowing across the ground. Adds that the pitch looks good and there is some grass and it will assist the pacers. Tells that it is hard in nature and this pitch generally helps the fast bowlers. Mentions that batting in the first innings will be crucial and there might be some help for the spinners later in the game.

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangla skipper, says that he would have loved to bowl first but adds that it seems to be a better wicket than Antigua where the bounce will be true. Adds that he wants his batters to be mentally tough and if they overcome the tough period initially, they are capable of scoring big. Informs that Mustafizur Rahman and Mominul Haque make way for  Shoriful Islam and Anamul Haque.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of West Indies, says that they are bowling as here at St Lucia there is something for the bowlers early on. Adds that he is not taking any Test match lightly and wants his team to keep improving and stay disciplined. Informs that Anderson Phillip is making his Test debut and he comes in place of Gudakesh Motie.

Did you know? Anamul Haque last played a Test match for Bangladesh in 2014 and that was at this very venue in Gros Islet. Life comes a full circle for him.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Anamul Haque (In place of Mominul Haque), Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Nurul Hasan (WK), Mehidy Hasan, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed, Shoriful Islam (In place of Mustafizur Rahman).

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Raymon Reifer, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Anderson Phillip (On debut) (In place of Gudakesh Motie).

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Kraigg Brathwaite. The West Indies have elected to BOWL first.

As we build towards this game, there is some engrossing cricket going around in the world. At Headingley, England have lost two early wickets after bundling out New Zealand for 329 this morning while in the Island country of Sri Lanka, the hosts have made some serious inroads with three early wickets after getting bowled out for a below-par total of 160 with the bat. We will keep you updated with all the action from these games and as far as this game is concerned, we are just moments away from a very crucial toss. Stay tuned.

64.2 W 0

OUT! CAUGHT! That's it, Bangladesh have been bowled out for 234! Seales bowls a short ball, probably the best ball to bowl to a tailender. It is angled on the body and Khaled Ahmed has no idea what to do with it. He ends up just hanging his bat in front of his body and gets a thick outside edge. The ball loops up in the air towards gully and Nkrumah Bonner there takes an easy catch.

OUT! CAUGHT! Litton Das stands there in disbelief. A touch short in length, around off at 131 kph, Das stays back and tries to pull but does so aerially and to the right of mid on. Kraigg Brathwaite takes a sharp catch and Joseph has three wickets now. A handy knock from Litton Das comes to an end but his team wanted more from him. Bangladesh are 9 away from touching 200.

55.5 1

Miscalculation perhaps. Full and outside off, Ebadot strokes it in the gap at covers and they think about two. Only one is available and Litton is back on strike. Will he eye a single or look for a boundary?

55.4 1

Around off, on a length, Das pushes it towards wide mid off and scampers across to the other end. Again two balls to survive for Ebadot.

OUT! That's a stunning catch from Devon Thomas, the substitute fielder. Kyle Mayers keeps feeding short delivery outside off to Mehidy Hasan who doesn't back down and attempts to crack it over point once more. This time though the connection is not accurate as it flies from the higher part of his bat. Devon Thomas runs across a bit to his left from backward point and then puts in a full-length dive to take a ripper. Kyle Mayers continues to provide breakthroughs to his team with his dibbly-dobblies.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The short stuff works for Alzarri Joseph and West Indies, and Bangladesh lose another. They are losing their way here and West Indies will be pretty happy with their effort so far post-Lunch. Joseph bangs it short again and this time at an awkward height for Hasan angling into the body. Hasan tries to sway away from the line of the ball first and then just tries to fend it away. However, he ends up getting only his gloves on this one and the ball loops up in the air towards the keeper, Joshua Da Silva. He backtracks to take an easy catch and Hasan walks back disappointed after consulting his partner regarding unlocking the DRS. The replays show that Nurul Hasan was trying to fox the umpire by rubbing his shoulder but umpire Joel Wilson has watched everything clearly and knows these tricks of the batters.

FOUR! Flashes and flashes hard! Short in length and outside off, Shakib walks forward and throws his bat at it. It flies off the outer half but goes through the vacant space at backward point for a boundary.

34.5 0

A bumper around leg, this time Shakib Al Hasan stays back and ducks.

Shakib looks to march forward and hence Kyle Mayers digs it in short. The Bangla skipper is forced to duck.

OUT! LBW! Kyle Mayers has trapped Shanto in front of the wickets with an inswinger. He delivers it on a length and around off, shaping in with some extra bounce at 121 kph. Najmul Hossain Shanto's front foot doesn't come far forward as he attempts to work it around the corner. He is thudded on the pads, they appeal and the finger has gone up again. DRS is taken by Shanto. UltraEdge finds no spike and Ball Tracking again shows that it's the UMPIRE'S CALL on hitting the wickets - it's clipping the top of leg. West Indies have been lucky with the last two wickets and Najmul Hossain Shanto trudges back.

OUT! Given lbw! A 132 kph delivery, an inswinger landing on a length around off and staying down a shade. Anamul Haque fails to defend it out and is pinged on the front pad. They appeal and the umpire lifts his finger. Haque has a word with his partner and takes the DRS. There is no need to look at the UltraEdge as the bat is quite far away. Ball Tracking rolls and finds that it's hitting the stumps and the impact is with the umpire's call. The onfield decision stays and Anderson Phillip has picked his second wicket, again with an inswinger. The only good thing for Bangladesh is that they retain the review.

Mayers bowls a shorter one, outside off, Anamul has nothing to do with it.

Kraigg Brathwaite takes the DRS, believing them. Coming to the delivery - Alzarri Joseph switches to 'round the wicket and lands it close to off. It lands and straightens as Tamim tries to defend. It goes past the bat, there is some noise and West Indies opt for the referral. A big gap between bat and pad, shows the replay. No need to check the UltraEdge. Review wasted.
