OUT! WHAT A CATCH! Odean Smith takes a steepler of a catch. Shakib wanted to be positive but he departs in the process. Romario Shepherd serves it on a length and around middle, at 135 kph, Shakib Al Hasan aims to heave it over mid-wicket but it goes straight up in the air off the top edge. Odean Smith, stationed inside the ring, gets underneath this swirling chance, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes the catch with a dive. Brilliant!

Short and wide outside off, Das stays back and slaps it to deep point for a single.

Shortish and around off, defended down on the pitch.

Romario Shepherd is into the attack now.

Lands it on a length around off, Das tries to defend but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It deflects in front of cover-point and they cross. 10 from the over, along with a wicket.

Odean follows the batter with a short ball, Shakib does well to fend it away on the off side. It rolls in the gap and they steal a single.

FOUR! In the air but in the gap. Width outside off, on a good length, Shakib goes aerial and whacks it over point for a boundary. Opens his account in style.

Shakib Al Hasan walks out at number 3!

OUT! Anamul Haque holes out! Back of a length, around middle, Anamul tries to again power it across the line but this time the ball takes the top edge and flies to third man. Akeal Hosein moves swiftly across to his left and secures the skier safely. The opening stand is broken!

Outside off, played down to point.

FOUR! Put away! Odean Smith begins poorly. Bowls a full toss in the line of the stumps, Anamul Haque gets across and swings it down to fine leg for a boundary.

NOT OUT! Akeal bowls it slower through the air, landing full and outside off. It lands and grips as the ball spins away. Litton tries to defend by getting forward but is beaten on the outside edge. Pooran breaks the stumps, appeals and the umpire goes upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the outside edge but it's absent as shown by the UltraEdge. The side-on angle finds Litton's back leg firmly inside the crease.

A review for a stumping chance! Litton Das is the man in question here. The replays roll in and they first check if any bat is involved or not. There is no bat involved as confirmed by the UltraEdge and neither is Litton Das out of his crease as further replays suggest.

Flatter and on off, Anamul punches it from the back foot to mid-wicket and takes one.

Floated and full, around off, Litton wrists it to mid-wicket and picks up a single.

FOUR! Fine shot! Flatter delivery, short and close to off, Litton Das jumps back inside the crease to give himself room and cracks it past the point fielder for a boundary.

Loopy and full, around off, Anamul Haque nudges it to mid-wicket and the bowler runs after it. They cross for a single.

Quicker and on middle, it's fired in, Das moves back and helps it in front of square leg for a single.

Will Obed McCoy continue? No, it is time for some spin now. Akeal Hosein comes into the attack.

Slower one, on a length and around off, Das gets squared up a bit but does well to tap it down to the right of the point fielder. They cross. Again 9 from the over!

FOUR! Here comes the first boundary of the match. Fuller in length, around middle, Litton Das picks it up off his pads and flicks it delightfully in front of square leg for a boundary.

Full toss outside off, Litton Das steps back to make room and pushes it through extra cover for a couple.

An inswinging yorker, around middle and off, Anamul Haque loses his balance while trying to dig it out but somehow keeps it away at square leg. They cross.

Movement into the batter, full and shaping in around off, Das knocks it down to long on for a single.

Shortish and around off, shaping down, Litton walks across the stumps and tries to play it on the leg side but misses.

Chance of a run out! No harm is done. A touch short in length around middle, shooting off the surface, Anamul Haque fails to work it around and it perhaps goes off the splice of his bat to covers. Litton Das shows interest in a run but is sent back as the fielder misses his shy at the bowler's end. 9 from the over!

Shortish and around leg, Das glances it behind square leg and picks up a single.

Wide! This is turning out to be a very long over from Obed McCoy. He continues to leak extras. Another delivery down the leg side, the batter leaves.

Fraction short and around leg, this time Anamul Haque fails to work it around the corner. It goes off his pads to backward square leg and they cross for a leg bye.

Wide! McCoy is yet to get his rhythm. Back of a length and down the leg side, Anamul Haque lets it through to the keeper.

Drifting down the leg side, Litton Das tries to flick but misses. It clips his pads and goes past the keeper. The short fine leg fielder dives to make the stop and they cross for a leg bye.

Wide! Obed McCoy is struggling with his line at the moment. Sprays this one way wide outside off, Litton Das has nothing to do with it.

Confident appeal for an lbw, not out says the umpire. Full in length and around leg, Das tries to flick but misses. He wears it on his pads but the lbw appeal is not upheld. Perhaps pitching outside leg.

Bowls it on a length again but this time the line is on middle and leg, Litton Das quietly clips it in front of square leg and scampers back for the second run.

Wide! Wrong start from Obed. Slips a length ball down the leg side, Litton has an easy leave to make.

Obed McCoy will start from the other end.

Anamul Haque gets on the front foot to a full ball and defends it to the off side. A decent start for both teams.

Fuller in length and outside off, Das pushes at it and edges it wide of short third man for a single.

Shout for an lbw! Not too much interest is shown by the umpire. Movement off the deck there. Landing on a length and outside off, jagging back in and striking Litton high on the pads as he fails to defend. Height factor.

Too full and way wide outside off, Anamul stretches out and squeezes it past the point fielder for three runs.

In the channel outside off, on a good length and moving in a bit, Anamul Haque covers his stumps and shoulders arms.

Misfield and Bangladesh are away! Kyle Mayers begins with a very full ball outside off, Das tries to dig it out but gets an outside edge. It rolls towards Akeal Hosein at short third man who fumbles and allows a run.

So, fasten your seatbelts folks! West Indies' players are in a huddle and they now disperse to take their respective positions. Litton Das and Anamul Haque are the openers for Bangladesh. It will be Kyle Mayers who will start with the ball for the Windies. All players now take the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. A slip in position for Kyle Mayers. Here we go...

Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies, says that he likes playing at this venue and in front of the Guyana crowd. Informs that they have one change as Keemo Paul is unwell and Dominic Drakes comes in. Mentions that they feel that this is a good chance to win the series and hopes that they do well in this game.

Mahmudullah, the captain of Bangladesh, says that they want to bat first as it's a dry surface. Adds that they are aiming to put runs on the board and defend it later. Informs that they are going with three spinners with Nasum Ahmed coming in the XI, replacing Taskin Ahmed. Tells that they had a few positives in the last game, notably Shakib's batting, but also admits that the execution part was missing with the ball and they will like to get better today. Hopes to play good cricket.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (C) (WK), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Dominic Drakes (In place of Keemo Paul), Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy, Hayden Walsh.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Anamul Haque, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah (C), Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (WK), Mosaddek Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed (In place of Taskin Ahmed).

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Mahmudullah. Bangladesh have elected to BAT first.

Odean Smith is down for a quick chat. The hard-hitting allrounder says that the last two games were kind of on-and-off and it is difficult to switch on and off as a player and admits that he has not been at his best, with the ball, in this series so far. Tells that he has done a lot of hard work and hopes to show his skills today. Mentions that the plan is to bowl full and he is quick in the air and also adds that they want to continue playing good cricket and carry the momentum from Dominica into this game.
