Presentation coming up...

All is not gloomy for Bangladesh. As a visiting team, it's always tough to acclimatize to the conditions, especially for the batters. Spending time at the crease even though the runs are not coming is crucial. It is something they can learn from the old-school batting of Kraigg Brathwaite. The real essence of batting in a Test match lies in patience. Sometimes you've to grind hard, and the best example of that was the century stand between Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan. They invested their time at the crease, and once the pitch eased out and the ball got softer, they booked profit. On the bowling front, all the three pacers were brilliant. They got the skills and if the batters complement them, Bangladesh can script a comeback at St Lucia.

The West Indian bowling was exceptional and it was spearheaded by Kemar Roach. His participation was in doubt before this Test match, but he passed the fitness test and left a huge impact. Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph were also excellent in their supporting roles while Kyle Mayers was the joker in the pack. With his dibbly-dobblies, Mayers impressed, and his skilful bowling helped the hosts in getting vital breakthroughs.

This Test match was dominated by the bowlers. 12 wickets fell on Day 1, 10 on Day 2, and 11 on the third day. In between, there were knocks from Kraigg Braithwaite, Jermaine Blackwood and Nkrumah Bonner in the first innings to hand a 162-run lead to the home team. Bangladesh's batting surrendered in both innings. Only Shakib Al Hasan managed twin fifties, and his century stand with Nurul Hasan on Day 3 was the silver lining for the touring team. They will have to show better application and temperament, especially with the bat, in the next Test to compete in these conditions.

All over in a flash! Nothing surprising or miraculous happened this morning, as West Indies got the remaining runs with ease in seven overs. John Campbell remained unbeaten on 58 and his 79-run stand with Jermaine Blackwood, in a tricky situation, will do his confidence a world of good. Smiles in the West Indian camp and the players are shaking hands on the ground.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! A minimum of 17 overs left in the day's play and if West Indies do get close to the target, then play might be prolonged. The umpires and the players are back on the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Mustafizur Rahman has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

What a turnaround it has been since the second new ball was taken! Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan started off quickly after the Tea break as Nurul too surpassed the fifty-run mark. But once Kemar Roach had the new cherry in hand, he was unstoppable. The skipper and Nurul, both got out playing loose shots and after that, the tailenders had no answer to Roach's prowess with the new ball. Roach ended up with his 10th five-wicket haul in Test cricket and Alzarri Joseph picked up three wickets as well. The target for West Indies is a fairly simple one, 84 runs to get and take a 1-0 lead in the series. Will they be able to do so before the end of play on Day 3 itself? Find out soon as the chase is coming up next.

90.5W

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Kemar Roach with a sensational five-wicket haul and he has bundled out the opposition in a hurry here. This is on a length, nipping back in from around off and this one stays low. Ebadot Hossain looks to defend but is undone by the lack of bounce and the ball castles into the middle stump. Roach picks up his 50th wicket at this venue and also goes on level with Michael Holding with 249 Test wickets. Bangladesh have been bundled out for 245!

90.40

Joshua Da Silva is certain that there is bat involved and lets out a strong appeal but the umpire remains unmoved. This is a good bouncer, banged in over middle. Ebadot Hossain tries to awkwardly fend it off but the ball seems to have just gone over his bat. There might have been a glove involved but West Indies have no review remaining.

90.30

This is banged in short but outside off. Ebadot Hossain plays inside the line of the ball.

90.20

Attempted yorker this time, around off. Ebadot Hossain jams it out towards short cover.

Commentary

We are back for Bangladesh's second innings! The umpires and the West Indies players take their positions on the field. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are the openers for Bangladesh. Kemar Roach, as usual, has the new ball in hand and is raring to go.

... Third innings ...

It was a hard toil for Bangladesh. They sweat hard on the field but struggled to create breakthroughs. All the investments they did in the two sessions eventually paid rich dividends, especially when they took the second new ball. Mehidy Hasan was the focal point of their bowling as his 4-fer infused life in Bangladesh's bowling. Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain were also impressive and got rewarded with two wickets apiece. West Indies have gained a handy lead and the touring team will have to bat better than the last time to stay relevant in this Test match. Those grassy patches on the surface got nicely targeted by the Windies bowlers in the first innings, and expect them to do that again. Let's see how the Asian team responds...

Valuable runs from the bat of debutant Gudakesh Motie, and his knock played a critical role in taking West Indies' lead to 162 runs. It was a determined batting show by the hosts and the only thing they could have done better was to bat with more intent this morning. After consuming close to 113 overs, to score 265, in this era of Test cricket, looks a bit odd, especially on a good batting strip. Anyway, this is how they operate under Kraigg Brathwaite. Once again their skipper led from the front and formed important stands with Nkrumah Bonner and Jermaine Blackwood.

112.5W

OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan rounds up a sensational outing with his fourth wicket to go along with a stunning catch. Hasan angles this one on a length, around off. Jayden Seales gets down on one knee, looking to sweep it away, but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Huge appeal and the finger is raised almost instantaneously. No harm in reviewing and Seales does just that. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. West Indies have been bundled out for 265 runs and have a first-innings lead of 162 runs!

Jayden Seales has been adjudged out LBW but given that it is the last wicket, he reviews it. UltraEdge is checked first and there's no spike on it. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the middle stump. The original decision of OUT stands and the West Indies innings comes to an end.

112.40

On off this time, Jayden Seales defends it towards the fielder at silly point.

112.30

Goes fuller on middle and leg, Jayden Seales blocks it towards the fielder at short leg.

112.20

Outside off this time, Jayden Seales defends it towards the fielder at point.

112.11

Bowls fuller and on off, Gudakesh Motie eases it to short covers and takes a quick single.

Good-length delivery this time on middle and off, Gudakesh Motie taps it towards point and runs across to retain strike.

111.54

FOUR! Up and over! Khaled Ahmed gets this full on off and Gudakesh Motie makes room and heaves it over mid off. The ball bounces before the boundary and rolls towards it. The fielder is unable to pull it ball and and concedes a boundary!

111.41

Full toss on off, Jayden Seales defends with soft hands towards cover and rushes across for a single.

111.30

Yorker length outside off stump, Jayden Seales gets bat to it and bumps the ball towards second slip.

111.20

Full and outside off, the natural angle taking it away from Jayden Seales who leaves it alone.

Jayden Seales is the last man in for West Indies.

111.1W

OUT! TAKEN! A stunner from Mehidy Hasan and Khaled Ahmed strikes with the first ball of his new spell. Ahmed steams in and delivers it halfway down the track, outside off. It is there to be hit and Jermaine Blackwood goes after it. Blackwood tries to force it off the back foot over covers but doesn't quite get his timing right. The ball is hit hard and to the left of short cover where Mehidy Hasan dives to his left and pouches it out of thin air. Blackwood is left stunned but has to walk back after a fine knock. The lead currently stands at 155 runs.

Khaled Ahmed is brought back into the attack as he replaces Ebadot Hossain.

Lands it on off this time, Gudakesh Motie guides it to covers. They had a chance for a single but they decide not to take it.

110.52

Bowls it fuller and down the leg side, Gudakesh Motie flicks it towards backward square leg for a brace.

110.40

Outside off again from Mehidy Hasan, left alone by Gudakesh Motie.

110.30

Outside off with a hint of turn, Gudakesh Motie eases it towards point.

110.20

NOT OUT! Close but not close enough and for now, Gudakesh Motie will keep on batting. Mehidy Hasan slides this one on a length and angles it into middle. Gudakesh Motie looks to defend it off the front foot but seems to have misses it and the ball goes on to crash into the pads. Bangladesh seem certain that it is out and go up in unison but the appeal is turned down. Shakib reviews it but UltraEdge shows that the ball took the inside edge before hitting the pads. Review lost then for Bangladesh.

A huge shout for LBW but the umpire remains unmoved. Shakib Al Hasan does go for the review at the last second. The third umpire first checks the UltraEdge and finds that the ball clearly took the inside edge. The on-field decision of NOT OUT stands.

110.11

Goes fuller and on middle, Jermaine Blackwood flicks it towards the leg side and takes a single.

109.50

Full and wide down leg side. Gudakesh Motie leaves it alone.

109.44

FOUR! Wow! This is some exciting batting from Gudakesh Motie and he is getting applause from the vice-captain as well. Pitched up, around off. Motie stands tall and just drives on the up, creaming it through extra cover for yet another boundary. The lead is now over 150 runs and that could be a huge psychological advantage for West Indies.

109.30

Good-length delivery on middle. Gudakesh Motie blocks this back to the bowler.

109.20

Ebadot Hossain gets this closer and on a good length. Gudakesh Motie judges it well and lets it go.

Commentary

We are back for West Indies' first innings! The Bangladeshi players are seen in a huddle before taking the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Mustafizur Rahman has the new ball in hand and is ready to go...

... Second Innings ...

Bangladesh will be mightily disappointed with that batting display. They fell prey to the conditions early in the day and no one really showed any kind of stability at the top of the order. Tamim Iqbal did look like he would go on to build on the start he got but it wasn't meant to be. The only batter who really put up any fight was the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan who scored a quickfire fifty and managed to get his side over the 100-run mark. The visitors will have to bowl out of their skin to keep the opposition to a total as close to theirs as possible. An uphill climb for their bowlers awaits. Do join us for the second essay in a short while.

It has been an absolutely brilliant outing from the Windies pacers and they have managed to bundle out Bangladesh inside 33 overs! It was great intensity from the hosts right from the get-go and that has worked wonders for them. Kemar Roach gave them a brilliant start and the others built on it. They did give away a few runs but it was only a matter of time before Shakib Al Hasan mistimed one and he did just that and West Indies capitalized on it. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales finished with three wickets each while Kyle Mayers too got a couple of important breakthroughs against the run of play. All in all, top performance from the hosts with the ball.

32.5W

OUT! CAUGHT! Fuller this time, around off, Khaled Ahmed brings down a straight bat in defense but it takes a thick outside edge and flies straight into the hands of Nkrumah Bonner at fourth slip. Khaled Ahmed becomes the sixth batter for Bangladesh to bag a duck. The tourists are bundled out for just 103.

32.40

A touch short and outside off, Khaled Ahmed removes his bat from the line of the delivery.

32.30

Digs it in short, around off, Khaled makes a late leave.

Khaled Ahmed is the last man in for Bangladesh.

32.2W

OUT! Shakib holes out! Alzarri Joseph angles in a length ball, around off, Shakib Al Hasan winds up for a big heave-ho over mid-wicket but ends up playing it a lot straighter. It flies down to widish long on and Kemar Roach takes the skier safely. End of a handy knock by the skipper. Bangladesh are nine down for just 103.

32.10

Slightly short and on off, Shakib moves back and lofts it over cover-point. No run taken.

31.60

Negotiated safely. Ebadot Hossain gets right behind the line of the delivery and offers a dead bat in defense.

Jayden Seales gets a second warning from the umpire for running over the danger zone on his followthrough. He has to be really careful now.

31.50

Poor delivery. Down the leg side, an easy leave for the number 10. Jayden Seales receives a warning for running on the danger area.

31.41

Short and on middle, pulled to deep square leg for a run. Again two balls to survive for Ebadot.

31.34

FOUR! FIFTY FOR SHAKIB! His 28th in Tests and 9th versus West Indies. It's been a good attacking knock from the skipper. Fuller and outside off, Shakib this time goes through the line and smashes it towards the long off fence. 100 up for Bangladesh!

31.20

Full in length, around middle, Shakib heaves it over mid-wicket and it falls wide of Kemar Roach running across to his left from wide long on. They decide not to run.

31.10

Too full in length and around off, Shakib squeezes it out through point and denies the single.

30.60

JUST SHORT! Back of a length, around middle, Ebadot Hossain is on his toes as he fends it away uncomfortably. The ball goes uppishly to short leg where Raymon Reifer is standing a shade deep. It falls in front of his outstretched hands.

30.50

Spears in a very full ball around off, Ebadot Hossain tries to defend but it whistles past the outside edge. After planting a leg gully, this delivery came as a surprise for the batter.

30.41

Short and on middle, Shakib rides the bounce and pulls it to deep square leg for a run. Two balls to survive for Ebadot Hossain and Shakib has a word with him.

30.30

Follows the batter down the leg side with a shortish delivery, Shakib turns it on the leg side. The ball rolls in the gap at mid-wicket but again Shakib doesn't run.

30.20

Short and on middle, Shakib steps back and cuts it to deep point and denies the single.

30.11

Alzarri Joseph digs it in short, around leg, Ebadot Hossain gets into a tangle as he awkwardly fends at it. It goes wide of the keeper and towards fine leg. They cross and Shakib returns on strike.

Smartly bowled. Jayden Seales senses the movement from the batter and slips a length ball down the leg side. Shakib shuffles across the stumps and then tries to flick. Misses. Ebadot Hossain will be on strike for the start of the next over.

29.51

Goes short and around leg, Ebadot Hossain fends it away and it goes down to fine leg. They take the single.

29.40

Angling in around off, on a length and shaping away, Ebadot Hossain tries to defend but misses.

29.31

Short and on middle, Shakib pulls it to deep square leg and looks for two. He realizes that the fielder has attacked the ball and sends Ebadot Hossain back eventually.

29.21

DROPPED! Nkrumah Bonner got a hand to it but failed to hang on. Jayden Seales delivers it on a length and outside off, Ebadot Hossain hangs his bat out and edges it to gully. Nkrumah Bonner dives across to his left, and attempts to catch it with one hand but it doesn't stick. The ball goes behind and they get a run. Good result for Bangladesh.

29.10

Darts a length ball on off, Ebadot blocks it well.

Commentary

That's all we have from this Test match. West Indies have taken the lead and also crucial points for the ICC World Test Championship. The second Test starts on Friday, 24th June 2022 at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Do join us in advance for the coverage. Until then, it's goodbye and cheers!

Kraigg Brathwaite, the victorious skipper of West Indies, says that they bowled really well and as a group, they batted decently. Feels it could have been better with the bat in the first innings. Adds that the coaching staff has done a great job and Roach is leading the bowling attack really well. Mentions that Roach's spell set the tone and he is a champion player for them. Tells that Roach has a heart of a champion and brings a lot of values. States that they are looking forward to the challenge in St Lucia and he has a word of praise for the Bangla bowlers as well. He is pleased with the knock of John Campbell and is glad that he remained unbeaten. Shares that they trust in the abilities of Raymon Reifer at number 3 and want to invest in him.

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh skipper, says that losing the toss played a significant part but they cannot complain. Adds that the pitch was tough but they could have applied themselves better. Mentions that one session killed the game for them. He is happy with the way his bowlers performed. States that this kind of batting is not acceptable and they have been doing that regularly now. Feels that the batters need to find a way to survive and then the bowlers will win you the game. Talks about his stand with Nurul Hasan and says that there is a lot to learn for other batters from Nurul's knock. On his personal form, Shakib replies that he was positive in his approach and kept his game simple.

Kemar Roach is the Player of the Match! The speedster says that his family is very proud of him and it's a good feeling to help the fans get happy. Mentions that it's a great feeling to equal Michael Holding's record and wants to keep working and get to 300 Test wickets. He thanks all his coaches who have taught him the fundamentals of bowling and is happy to have those guys in his career. States that they were just looking to be patient during the century stand between Shakib and Nurul. Feels that they did that really well and praises the supporting bowlers. He ranks this performance of his in his top five at this stadium.

Presentation coming up...

All is not gloomy for Bangladesh. As a visiting team, it's always tough to acclimatize to the conditions, especially for the batters. Spending time at the crease even though the runs are not coming is crucial. It is something they can learn from the old-school batting of Kraigg Brathwaite. The real essence of batting in a Test match lies in patience. Sometimes you've to grind hard, and the best example of that was the century stand between Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan. They invested their time at the crease, and once the pitch eased out and the ball got softer, they booked profit. On the bowling front, all the three pacers were brilliant. They got the skills and if the batters complement them, Bangladesh can script a comeback at St Lucia.

The West Indian bowling was exceptional and it was spearheaded by Kemar Roach. His participation was in doubt before this Test match, but he passed the fitness test and left a huge impact. Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph were also excellent in their supporting roles while Kyle Mayers was the joker in the pack. With his dibbly-dobblies, Mayers impressed, and his skilful bowling helped the hosts in getting vital breakthroughs.

This Test match was dominated by the bowlers. 12 wickets fell on Day 1, 10 on Day 2, and 11 on the third day. In between, there were knocks from Kraigg Braithwaite, Jermaine Blackwood and Nkrumah Bonner in the first innings to hand a 162-run lead to the home team. Bangladesh's batting surrendered in both innings. Only Shakib Al Hasan managed twin fifties, and his century stand with Nurul Hasan on Day 3 was the silver lining for the touring team. They will have to show better application and temperament, especially with the bat, in the next Test to compete in these conditions.

All over in a flash! Nothing surprising or miraculous happened this morning, as West Indies got the remaining runs with ease in seven overs. John Campbell remained unbeaten on 58 and his 79-run stand with Jermaine Blackwood, in a tricky situation, will do his confidence a world of good. Smiles in the West Indian camp and the players are shaking hands on the ground.

Pitch report - The surface has proved to be challenging for batting, with a bit of grass and some bare areas. We have seen some variable bounce as well.

Roddy Estwick, the assistant coach of West Indies, comes up for a chat. He says that their bowling lost the plot a bit on Day 3 and he would rate it 6.5 out of 10. Praises Kemar Roach for his bowling and adds that he has lost some pace but gained in terms of accuracy. Mentions that in the batting department, they need to form more partnerships and focus on spending time in the middle. Regarding the debutant Gudakesh Motie, Roddy sounds very happy with his performance and shares that the target they gave him was to keep the scoring rate under 3 and he feels that Motie will gain from this experience.

Bangladesh are on the brink of yet another loss in Test cricket in recent times. They started on the wrong foot and remained behind the 8-ball throughout this game. A little bit of spark was shown on Day 3, but that's too little to turn the tide in their favour. They would wish for wickets in a heap this morning to send shivers in the West Indian camp like last evening, and if that happens, we could have a dramatic finish to this Test.

Welcome back, dear readers! A formality of 35 runs left in this Test match, and we've gathered here to get done with it. West Indies have played some excellent cricket over the last three days and earned the right to be in this position. When the situation demanded last afternoon, they were ready to put the hard yard with the ball, and eventually, it reaped rich dividends. There was a shaky start to the chase, but West Indies recovered well and would look to avoid a similar situation this morning. Stay tuned for more...

... DAY 4 ...

Right then, three days of the first Test between West Indies and Bangladesh have gone by and they have provided ample excitement to cricket lovers. The hosts have bossed most of the match so far and are just 35 runs away from taking a 1-0 lead in the series. They should be able to do so early on Day 4 if nothing surprising happens. The play will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but our build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then, take care and goodbye!

Kyle Mayers comes up for a quick chat. Says that to make the batters play every ball is the main thing for him. Adds that he looks to utilize the conditions and stick to accurate areas. Mentions that Bangladesh had a difficult first day but the pitch has got better since then for batting. Feels that it's all about staying patient on this surface. Further says that he and Kemar Roach go a long way back, and he calls him his role model. He praises Roach for always putting his best foot forward and wishes him 300 Test wickets soon. Tells that during that stand between Shakib and Nurul, they just wanted to stay patient.

Bangladesh did show a lot of fight on Day 3, especially with the bat as twin fifties from Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan saw them wipe off the deficit and even got them in the lead when at one point it seemed the visitors would lose by an innings. With just 83 runs to defend though, it was Khaled Ahmed who was sensational with the new ball and he picked up three wickets in his first couple of overs to just plant a seed of doubt in the mind of the opposition. Unfortunately for him, other bowlers haven't been able to trouble the Windies batters much and Bangladesh are heading towards defeat.

After a bit of toil in the field, West Indies made full use of the second new ball and Kemar Roach was the standout performer for the hosts. His five-wicket haul saw Bangladesh getting bundled out in the final session and that kept the lead to 83 runs. West Indies would have hoped to come out and play positively but that wasn't the case as they were soon reduced to 9 for 3. Since then, John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood have put on a steady stand of 40 runs and the home team is now inching towards taking a 1-0 lead in the Test series.

Day 3 is known as the moving day in Test cricket and it has moved along at a brisk pace. A lot of action happened throughout the day but as the day comes to a conclusion, it is West Indies who are just 35 runs away from victory and they still have 7 wickets in hand.

Khaled angles it in on a good length and around off. Reifer is caught in two minds but decides to leave it. Reifer is late and the ball bounces a bit extra taking the bottom part of the glove.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! A minimum of 17 overs left in the day's play and if West Indies do get close to the target, then play might be prolonged. The umpires and the players are back on the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Mustafizur Rahman has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

What a turnaround it has been since the second new ball was taken! Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan started off quickly after the Tea break as Nurul too surpassed the fifty-run mark. But once Kemar Roach had the new cherry in hand, he was unstoppable. The skipper and Nurul, both got out playing loose shots and after that, the tailenders had no answer to Roach's prowess with the new ball. Roach ended up with his 10th five-wicket haul in Test cricket and Alzarri Joseph picked up three wickets as well. The target for West Indies is a fairly simple one, 84 runs to get and take a 1-0 lead in the series. Will they be able to do so before the end of play on Day 3 itself? Find out soon as the chase is coming up next.

90.5W

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Kemar Roach with a sensational five-wicket haul and he has bundled out the opposition in a hurry here. This is on a length, nipping back in from around off and this one stays low. Ebadot Hossain looks to defend but is undone by the lack of bounce and the ball castles into the middle stump. Roach picks up his 50th wicket at this venue and also goes on level with Michael Holding with 249 Test wickets. Bangladesh have been bundled out for 245!

90.40

Joshua Da Silva is certain that there is bat involved and lets out a strong appeal but the umpire remains unmoved. This is a good bouncer, banged in over middle. Ebadot Hossain tries to awkwardly fend it off but the ball seems to have just gone over his bat. There might have been a glove involved but West Indies have no review remaining.

90.30

This is banged in short but outside off. Ebadot Hossain plays inside the line of the ball.

90.20

Attempted yorker this time, around off. Ebadot Hossain jams it out towards short cover.

Nurul is outside the crease and they appeal. The umpire refers it upstairs and the replays find that there is no touch from the bowler.

Is that a run-out? Half an appeal from the West Indies players as the ball goes past Raymon Reifer and crashes into the stumps. The decision is sent upstairs and the replay shows that Reifer's fingers weren't close to the ball.

The start of the final session on Day 3 has been delayed a bit. There was a slight drizzle as the players went into the Tea break and the square was quickly covered. The drizzle has stopped and the covers are off as well. The play should start in a few minutes time. Scratch that, the umpires are making their way back into the middle and so are the players. Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan are set to resume their stay at the crease. With the second new ball not far away, it will be interesting to see how the batters approach their innings. It will be Gudakesh Motie to start off with the ball after the break.

... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...

West Indies will be a bit disappointed with their bowling in the second session. The pitch has certainly eased out for the batters but with just one wicket needed to expose the opposition tail, they found it difficult to create opportunities. There have been a few edges and a couple of shouts for LBW but that has been it. The hosts will now look to shrug off the session gone by and get back into their strides after the break. The second new ball that is due in a few overs could be the key for West Indies. Can Bangladesh continue to score at a good rate without losing wickets? Or will West Indies be able to regain the lost momentum? Find out in the final session that starts at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day).

Session summary - 27 overs, 95 runs and no wickets lost! What a wonderful session this has been for Bangladesh with the bat. They looked to be down and out at the Lunch interval but an unbeaten stand of 101 runs between skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan has just about kept them in the game. The pair scored at a good rate and after getting rid of the deficit, the duo has put the visitors ahead by 48 runs. Their job is not done yet as a slight lapse in concentration here and all the hard work will be undone. But for now, they can breathe a bit easy.

Another shout for an lbw! Not given. West Indies can't review now. A length ball, around leg, Nurul walks forward and tries to defend but misses. He is again hit on the back pad but the umpire shakes his head. The batter had come too far down the track anyway.

On a length, around middle, it's defended off the front foot.

Around leg, on a length and skidding off the surface. Nurul Hasan fails to defend off the back foot and is pinged on the back pad.

Joseph shows no mercy. Hurls across another bouncer, around middle and leg, Shakib ducks safely.

A slight halt in play! Shakib Al Hasan is hit flush on the helmet and the physio rushes out for a mandatory concussion check. There was some genuine pace behind it and Shakib looks a bit rattled. Hopefully, he is fine. Shakib gives the thumbs up and is good to continue.

69.20

Bang on the helmet! Another bouncer from Joseph, well-directed at the batter. Shakib tries to pull but misses. It goes past his gloves, pings him on the helmet and goes straight into the hands of Bonner at short leg. A stifled appeal for a catch but nothing doing. No bat, no gloves, only helmet.

DRINKS! It has been a remarkable first hour from Bangladesh with the bat post-Lunch. Shakib Al Hasan has been aggressive and Nurul Hasan too has played his shots. The pair has scored freely and with the pitch offering very little assistance now, the West Indies bowlers have had to toil a bit.  Bangladesh lead by 3 runs and their next agenda will be to get through Tea unscathed. West Indies need to pull up their socks if they are to bundle out the visitors soon. Also, Gudakesh Motie is brought back into the attack.

We are back for the post-Lunch session! It's now a test of survival for Shakib Al Hasan and his men. It remains to be seen as to for how long they can deny what looks to be inevitable. The umpires and the fielders are back on the field as Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan take guard. It will be Kemar Roach, the man who made meaningful inroads towards the end of the first session, to get things going with the ball after the break.

... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales didn't quite start off in the manner they would have liked to but the introduction of Kyle Mayers into the attack paid dividends as he picked up a couple of wickets. Alzarri Joseph too was a bit on the shorter side and was ineffective but Roach made a strong comeback in his second spell of the day, sending back two more Bangladeshi batters to put his team right on top of proceedings. With the game firmly in West Indies' corner and Bangladesh having it all to do, it remains to be seen as to how Shakib Al Hasan approaches his innings. Will the Windies wrap things up in the post-Lunch session? We'll find out soon. The afternoon session will start at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT). Do join us then to find out how things unfold.

Bangladesh came into Day 3 trailing by 112 runs and Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudul Hasan Joy did start off well negotiating the Windies pacers. After that, a couple of wickets fell in quick succession and Litton Das walked in and started playing his shots. This helped Bangladesh to take a big chunk out of the deficit but it also provided opportunities for the hosts to grab some wickets. The visitors then lost two more wickets and are now left struggling with just 4 wickets in hand and trailing by 47 runs. The skipper, Shakib Al Hasan is the only one who can now help his side avoid an innings defeat but he will require ample support from Nurul Hasan from the other end in order to do so.

Session summary - 29 overs, 65 runs and 4 wickets! It has been yet another highly productive session for West Indies in the field. They have managed to pick up as many as four wickets whilst keeping their lead intact which currently stands at 47 runs. With just a couple of more recognized batters left at the crease for Bangladesh, the hosts will look to come back fresh after the Lunch interval and wrap up the innings at the earliest. If they manage to do so, the game could finish in the second session itself.

OUT! CAUGHT! A loose shot from Litton Das and Kemar Roach strikes in his first over of a new spell. This is served on a good length outside off and the ball zips off the surface.

Just when Bangladesh looked to be on a roll, a wicket goes down. You cannot waft at a wide delivery in the name of positive batting. This is poor from Bangladesh and Litton.

There was no shot offered by Litton Das so the third umpire will go directly to Ball Tracking. It shows that indeed the ball was going over the middle stump and it will stay NOT OUT.

34.40

Too full in length and outside off, Das reaches out and digs it out to the off side.

Drinks break. A couple of wickets in the second half of the first hour and all the good work done till then by Bangladesh has gone down the drain. Kyle Mayers has done his magic again with his accurate and skilful bowling. Litton Das walks in next and the tourists need a big effort from him.

34.3W

OUT! GIVEN LBW! Kyle Mayers' clever variations are doing the job for West Indies. His inswinger lands on a length around off, Mominul Haque tries to flick but his bat gets stuck a bit behind the front pad and he gets pinged in front. The appeal is made, and the umpire thinks for a while before lifting his finger. Mominul Haque has a word with his partner and takes the DRS but the Ball Tracking shows that it's clipping the leg stump. Umpire's call and Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket. The deficit for them is 87 runs.

34.20

34.11

Direct hit at the striker's end, is Mominul Haque short of the crease? Nopes, safely in.

OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! So often Kyle Mayers does this. He knows his angles and works the magic with his dibbly-dobblies. Kyle Mayers serves three deliveries in the zone outside off but this time he gets close to off and forces the batter to play the line. Najmul Hossain Shanto doesn't do a lot wrong there but the away movement extracts the outside edge from his defensive bat and John Campbell has a simple catch to take at first slip. There was some extra bounce as well. West Indies have their first breakthrough this morning. They still have a lead of 98 runs.

Right on the button. Kemar Roach begins from 'round the wicket angle and slants a length ball on off, Shanto defends it to the off side.

We are moments away from the start of the play on Day 3! The weather is a bit cloudy and that might offer the pacers a bit of help early on but as we type, the sun is just starting to peek through the clouds. The umpires are out in the middle and so are the West Indies players. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are all set to resume their stay at the crease. Kemar Roach will start proceedings with the ball and is raring to go.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree and Sir Curtly Ambrose are pitch side. Badree says that it continues to be a challenging surface for the batters. Sir Curtly says that indeed it will be a challenging day and the grass around the wicket is providing variable bounce and the pacers can use that. Badree adds that spinners might come into play today and Gudakesh Motie might be used more.

What do Bangladesh need on Day 3? As said earlier, they need to bat and bat and bat for as long as possible. To wipe off the deficit will be on top of their agenda and they cannot afford to lose many wickets while doing so. With Mushfiqur Rahim missing, someone like Mominul Haque and Shakib Al Hasan will have to take control of the batting department and provide solidity. It is going to be a litmus test for them this morning, and surviving the first session will be the key. Can they do it with minimum casualty? We will find out soon.

West Indies have done most things right in this Test match, right from winning the toss. Their bowlers have utilized the conditions way better than the touring team and playing in their own backyard has certainly served as an advantage. The hosts would be aiming to repeat their bowling show of the first day and make early inroads this morning. Can Roach and company dominate proceedings yet again?

Welcome back, folks. The third day of this Test match is upon us and clearly, it's West Indies who hold all the aces and can call the shots. The great work done by their bowlers on the first day has had a lasting impact and Bangladesh have not recovered since then. The tourists did show some spark with the ball last evening but that's too little to change the landscape of this game. A massive batting effort is the need of the hour and let's see if the Bangla Tigers have it in them to find their feet in this match. Stay tuned for more...

... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, two days have flown by in this Test match and there are still three days left but at the moment it doesn't look like the game will stretch that long. Day 3 is known as the moving day and if West Indies do get early wickets then the day could move along at a rapid pace and even prove to be the last day of the game. It has been an exciting contest between bat and ball so far and the same should continue on Day 3. Action will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but our build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Cheers!

Mehidy Hasan is down for a quick chat. He says that he was disappointed with his first couple of spells as he didn't bowl in the correct areas. Shares that he then mentally prepared himself and got some help from the spinners not playing this game and was able to pick up wickets. Mentions that his plan was to pile on the dot balls which would put pressure on the batters. Further says that at first, he tried too hard to get wickets but changed his game plan later on. Adds that it was an opportunity for him after being sent at one down but unfortunately it didn't come off and he will try harder next time. Reckons that they have quality batters and the key is to bat the whole of Day 3.

Bangladesh have their work cut out with the bat and even after some really excellent bowling, it is the poor showing with the bat in the first innings that is costing them dearly here. After toiling hard, their bowlers were able to make use of the second new ball and Mehidy Hasan ended up with four wickets. In their second innings, Bangladesh trailed by 162 runs but it was a pretty breezy start from their openers, especially Tamim Iqbal who did get out after getting a start. Mehidy Hasan came in ahead of other top-order batters but the move didn't work. Since then, Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Najmul Hossain Shanto have done a decent job of standing their ground but it will require a lot more than just that if they are to have any chance of turning the match in their favour.

West Indies came into Day 2 with 8 wickets in hand and seemed to be going along nicely but as soon as the second new ball was taken, their middle order fell prey to some probing bowling by the opposition. A lead that looked to be going beyond 200 runs ended up being 162 runs which was still sizeable. On the bowling front, Alzarri Joseph has delivered for them after an uncharacteristic start from Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales in the second innings. They will now look to get some rest and come back to pick up early wickets on Day 3.

Another day of Test cricket is done and just like Day 1, West Indies seem to be in command of the match. 12 wickets fell on Day 1 and as many as 10 wickets have fallen on Day 2 which shows that the pitch still has a bit in it for the bowlers. Bangladesh currently trail by 112 runs and with 8 wickets in hand, it will take a big effort from their batters on Day 3 to first cut down the deficit entirely and then give their bowlers something to bowl at. A difficult task but we'll see how things play out on Saturday.

OUT! CAUGHT! Alzarri Joseph with his second wicket in as many overs and the idea of sending Mehidy Hasan up the order hasn't worked for Bangladesh.

Around the top of off, Mehidy Hasan backs away a bit and keeps it out towards cover.

DRINKS! A strong start from Bangladesh but it has now come to a halt as Tamim Iqbal is sent back. The visitors will hope to not repeat their mistakes from the first innings and keep wickets in hand heading into Day 3.

Strong comeback by Alzarri Joseph and he provides the first breakthrough for West Indies. This is bowled on a perfect length, in that channel close to the off stump.

We are back for Bangladesh's second innings! The umpires and the West Indies players take their positions on the field. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are the openers for Bangladesh. Kemar Roach, as usual, has the new ball in hand and is raring to go.

... Third innings ...

It was a hard toil for Bangladesh. They sweat hard on the field but struggled to create breakthroughs. All the investments they did in the two sessions eventually paid rich dividends, especially when they took the second new ball. Mehidy Hasan was the focal point of their bowling as his 4-fer infused life in Bangladesh's bowling. Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain were also impressive and got rewarded with two wickets apiece. West Indies have gained a handy lead and the touring team will have to bat better than the last time to stay relevant in this Test match. Those grassy patches on the surface got nicely targeted by the Windies bowlers in the first innings, and expect them to do that again. Let's see how the Asian team responds...

Valuable runs from the bat of debutant Gudakesh Motie, and his knock played a critical role in taking West Indies' lead to 162 runs. It was a determined batting show by the hosts and the only thing they could have done better was to bat with more intent this morning. After consuming close to 113 overs, to score 265, in this era of Test cricket, looks a bit odd, especially on a good batting strip. Anyway, this is how they operate under Kraigg Brathwaite. Once again their skipper led from the front and formed important stands with Nkrumah Bonner and Jermaine Blackwood.

112.5W

OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan rounds up a sensational outing with his fourth wicket to go along with a stunning catch. Hasan angles this one on a length, around off. Jayden Seales gets down on one knee, looking to sweep it away, but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Huge appeal and the finger is raised almost instantaneously. No harm in reviewing and Seales does just that. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. West Indies have been bundled out for 265 runs and have a first-innings lead of 162 runs!

Jayden Seales has been adjudged out LBW but given that it is the last wicket, he reviews it. UltraEdge is checked first and there's no spike on it. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the middle stump. The original decision of OUT stands and the West Indies innings comes to an end.

112.40

On off this time, Jayden Seales defends it towards the fielder at silly point.

112.30

Goes fuller on middle and leg, Jayden Seales blocks it towards the fielder at short leg.

FOUR! Up and over! Khaled Ahmed gets this full on off and Gudakesh Motie makes room and heaves it over mid off. The ball bounces before the boundary and rolls towards it. The fielder is unable to pull it ball and and concedes a boundary!

111.41

Full toss on off, Jayden Seales defends with soft hands towards cover and rushes across for a single.

111.30

Yorker length outside off stump, Jayden Seales gets bat to it and bumps the ball towards second slip.

111.20

Full and outside off, the natural angle taking it away from Jayden Seales who leaves it alone.

Jayden Seales is the last man in for West Indies.

111.1W

OUT! TAKEN! A stunner from Mehidy Hasan and Khaled Ahmed strikes with the first ball of his new spell. Ahmed steams in and delivers it halfway down the track, outside off. It is there to be hit and Jermaine Blackwood goes after it. Blackwood tries to force it off the back foot over covers but doesn't quite get his timing right. The ball is hit hard and to the left of short cover where Mehidy Hasan dives to his left and pouches it out of thin air. Blackwood is left stunned but has to walk back after a fine knock. The lead currently stands at 155 runs.

Khaled Ahmed is brought back into the attack as he replaces Ebadot Hossain.

110.30

Outside off with a hint of turn, Gudakesh Motie eases it towards point.

110.20

NOT OUT! Close but not close enough and for now, Gudakesh Motie will keep on batting. Mehidy Hasan slides this one on a length and angles it into middle. Gudakesh Motie looks to defend it off the front foot but seems to have misses it and the ball goes on to crash into the pads. Bangladesh seem certain that it is out and go up in unison but the appeal is turned down. Shakib reviews it but UltraEdge shows that the ball took the inside edge before hitting the pads. Review lost then for Bangladesh.

A huge shout for LBW but the umpire remains unmoved. Shakib Al Hasan does go for the review at the last second. The third umpire first checks the UltraEdge and finds that the ball clearly took the inside edge. The on-field decision of NOT OUT stands.

FOUR! Wow! This is some exciting batting from Gudakesh Motie and he is getting applause from the vice-captain as well. Pitched up, around off. Motie stands tall and just drives on the up, creaming it through extra cover for yet another boundary. The lead is now over 150 runs and that could be a huge psychological advantage for West Indies.

109.30

Good-length delivery on middle. Gudakesh Motie blocks this back to the bowler.

107.3W

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The hard work is finally paying off for the Bangladesh bowlers and West Indies are going down in a hurry here. Ebadot Hossain goes full and outside off, inviting the drive from Kemar Roach who just doesn't have the ability of a top-order batter to not give in to the temptation. Roach gets a thick outside edge that flies to the right of third slip where Litton Das takes a very good catch. Just the two wickets remain now for West Indies and Bangladesh will be looking to clean up the tail soon.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another sharp catch from Nurul Hasan behind the stumps and Mehidy Hasan is in the groove now. This is fuller and a bit quicker, around off. Alzarri Joseph goes on the back foot instead of playing it off the front foot. Joseph looks to play for the turn that isn't there as the ball goes straight on. He gets a thick outside edge straight into the keeper's mitts and his stay at the crease is a short one. West Indies lead by 135 runs with just 3 wickets in hand now.

106.40

Similar to the last delivery, this is again flicked towards the fielder at the short mid-wicket region.

We are back for the final session on Day 2! A lot happened in the post-Lunch session and the game is now moving along swiftly with Bangladesh having a real shot at keeping the Windies lead to well under 200 runs. The umpires and the players make their back to the middle with Alzarri Joseph and Jermaine Blackwood set to resume their innings. Shakib Al Hasan is seen leading his side in a huddle before taking the field. It is going to be Mehidy Hasan to continue his effective spell after the break.

... Day 2, Session 3 ...

Session summary - 25 overs, 72 runs and 3 wickets! Bangladesh have finally been able to make inroads in the second session on Day 2 as they picked up three wickets. Khaled Ahmed bowled aggressively and got rid of the opposition skipper before he could get to his century which was a huge moment in the innings. It was then the spell from Mehidy Hasan towards the end of the session that saw him pick up a couple of quick wickets and he has given Bangladesh a chance of running through the West Indies tailenders. West Indies on the other hand have started scoring at a better rate but Jermaine Blackwood has found himself lucky a couple of times. Blackwood has the runs in his kitty but is running out of partners. It is now up to him to anchor the innings and take the hosts to a big lead which currently stands at 128 runs. Join us for an exciting final session on Day 2 at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day).

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A sharp catch behind the sticks by Nurul Hasan and Mehidy Hasan is turning it on here for his side. Lovely flight and on a nagging length as well, close to the off stump. Joshua Da Silva looks to defend off the front foot but is beaten in flight and the ball just holds its line as well. The outside edge is found and Nurul Hasan makes no mistake. The finger-wag celebration is out from Mehidy Hasan and Da Silva walks back without troubling the scorers much.

100.1W

OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan just loves bowling to Kyle Mayers and this is the fourth time that he has dismissed him. This is on a length, around middle and leg and seems to be going on with the angle. Mayers looks to block it off the front foot but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal and the keeper seems certain but the umpire is unmoved. It is reviewed by Shakib and UltraEdge confirms that it is pad first and then the ball hit the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball straightened and would have gone on to crash into the leg stump. Brilliant review this time from Bangladesh and they have another wicket in this session.

Huge appeal from behind the stumps for an LBW decision but the umpire doesn't seem interested. Shakib Al Hasan does go for the review this time. The third umpire checks UltraEdge first and the ball seems to have hit both the bat as well as the pad but it is pad first. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and the on-field decision is overturned to OUT! Kyle Mayers is a goner.

OUT! LBW! Finally, Khaled Ahmed gets the breakthrough for Bangladesh and it is the big fish. This is bowled from a bit wider of the crease and is angled in on a length around middle.

We are back for the post-Lunch session on Day 2! The players are out in the middle and Kraigg Brathwaite along with Jermaine Blackwood is set to his resume his stay at the crease. It's going to be Shakib Al Hasan who will start off with his left-arm orthodox spin after the interval.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

Right then, we've had four sessions of Test cricket and West Indies have pretty much won all of them. The match certainly seems to be result-oriented and the hosts will now look to get through Day 2 with a sizeable lead in the bank. Bangladesh however need a big effort in the field to turn the tables. It doesn't seem easy to do as the pitch does seem to have eased out for the batters. The post-Lunch session starts at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT). Do join us then for another cracking session.

The Bangladeshi pacers were unlucky last evening and did probe well but it has been the spin of Shakib Al Hasan that troubled the opposition batters this morning. After missing out on a couple of opportunities to get rid of Nkrumah Bonner, Shakib did get the breakthrough and Bangladesh would have liked to build on it. It hasn't happened though and even the edges that have been few and far in between, seem to be falling short. They will need to create more wicket-taking opportunities in the next session to avoid toiling under the hot sun for the entirety of the day and not only that, they need something to give in order to keep the Windies' lead to as low as possible.

Session summary - 31 overs, 64 runs and one wicket. Yet another session of Test cricket has flown by and West Indies certainly seem to have everything under control at the moment. Even though the scoring rate has been slow on Day 2 as well, the hosts have started to build up a decent lead which currently stands at 56 runs. Skipper Kraigg Brathwaite has surpassed the fifty-run mark and he will now be looking to inject a bit of momentum in their innings. Nkrumah Bonner looked a bit edgy this morning and was finally sent back to the hut by Shakib. Since then, Jermaine Blackwood has lent good support to the skipper and the pair has generally found it comfortable to negotiate the bowlers.

OUT! TIMBER! At last, Bangladesh have a breakthrough, and their skipper has provided them with that. Shakib Al Hasan fires it in flat, an arm ball around off and skidding in off the surface. Nkrumah Bonner hangs on the back foot, offering an angled bat in defense. But it skids in, clips the inside half of his blade and goes on to disturb the stumps. The 62-run stand has been broken. West Indies lead by 31 runs.

62.50

Quicker and flatter, around off, Bonner plays late and it drops in front of first slip.

62.40

62.10

Drinks break. West Indies continue to be on top and are now in the lead by 30 runs. Their eight wickets remain intact. Bangladesh bowled well but without any rewards. Nkrumah Bonner offered them a couple of opportunities but Bangladesh didn't appeal when there was an edge and then neither Najmul Hossain Shanto nor Nurul Hasan went for the catch when there was a thick outside edge. The tourists have themselves to blame at the moment. The only solace for them is that the hosts have not yet run away with the game due to their slow scoring rate. Will the picture change in the next hour? Let's find out.

Fuller in length and outside off, stroked wide of point for a run.

57.44

EDGED BUT SAFE! FOUR! What happened there? Neither the keeper nor the first slip fielder moved. The bowler is upset and rightly so. Back of a length, around off and there is some extra bounce. Nkrumah Bonner is opened up in defense and the outside edge flies through the gap between Nurul Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto. Both players looked at each other as the ball went behind and crossed the fence. To be honest, that was Shanto's catch.

Unplayable! What a delivery! Ebadot dishes out a length delivery close to off, Nkrumah Bonner decides to play the trajectory of the ball but it straightens just a hint to beat the outside edge. Excellent over from Ebadot. The replays, later on, show that there was a spike. No one appealed. Strange.

52.50

Pitches it on a good length and outside off, Nkrumah Bonner presses forward to cover the line and then shoulders arms.

49.50

Mustafizur Rahman looks to attack the pads this time but spills it down the leg side, Brathwaite leaves it alone and the keeper collects it safely.

49.40

A hint of extra bounce on this occasion. Fullish delivery, angling in from around off. Brathwaite looks to defend it under his eye line but gets a bit surprised by the bounce. He cops a blow on his gloves.

Back of a length, around off. Brathwaite looks to punch it off the back foot but his feet don't move much and Brathwaite mistimes it back onto the deck.

BEATEN! Probing delivery from Ebadot Hossain, length, outside off and shaping back in quite a fair bit. Nkrumah Bonner has to play at it and gets beaten past the outside edge.

48.30

On a driving length but on the fifth stump line, Bonner watches it all the way through and decides not to play at it.

48.20

The length is pulled back this time and it is bowled pretty wide outside off, Bonner lets it through to the keeper.

48.10

Nice shape! Ebadot Hossain starts off with a fuller-length delivery from wide of the crease. The ball shapes back in nicely from outside off as Nkrumah Bonner defends it out solidly.

Time to get underway! The sun is presently out and there is a steady breeze blowing across the stadium. The conditions look ripe for batting and if the batters see off the first 30 minutes safely, they can get big runs here. Kraigg Brathwaite and Nkrumah Bonner are the overnight batters. The latter will be on strike as Ebadot Hossain gets ready to serve the first over of the day. Here we go...

Pitch report - Darren Ganga mentions that the moisture from Day 1 isn't there anymore but the conditions are similar and the spinners might come into play a bit more. Sir Curtly Ambrose joins him and says that the West Indies got the better part of the day to bowl but the intent to score runs wasn't there from their batters and he hopes that changes on Day 2.

Alzarri Joseph comes up for a quick word. The tall pacer says that he enjoyed bowling with the red ball after coming back from the white-ball format. Adds that there is always room for improvement and he could have been a touch fuller with his length. Mentions that he doesn't try to follow in anyone's footsteps and looks to create his own way. States that the pitch got better in the evening and feels that Day 2 should be the best day for batting.

While we wait for proceedings to begin on Day 2, England are taking on Netherlands in a one-day game where the English batters, riding on tons from Philip Salt, Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler have put on a world record score of 498 runs on the board. With the white ball game getting more and more batting oriented, will this record score ever be broken?

The hosts on the other hand will be mightily pleased with their exploits of Day 1 with all four pacers putting on a strong showing and getting rewarded thoroughly. On the batting front, runs were hard to come by for West Indies though but skipper Kraigg Brathwaite has held up one end really well. With the hosts trailing by just 8 runs and the wicket easing out, it could go from bad to worse for the visitors and they will need wickets in the first session to have some sort of say in the game. Will the Windies pile on the pressure and score big? Or will Bangladesh make some sort of a comeback? Find out as the first session is coming up in some time.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and Bangladesh. The visitors were bundled out for 103 with six batters getting out without troubling the scorers which meant for the first time in the history of Test cricket that a side had six batters out for a duck in back-to-back matches. The skipper, Shakib Al Hasan was the only bright spark in their innings and even their bowlers had to toil hard to get a couple of breakthroughs.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then, West Indies hold all the aces heading into the second day. Their bowlers earned them the advantage and now it's the turn of their batters to extend it further and corner Bangladesh even more. Can they bat the touring team out of this Test match? Find out on Day 2 with action starting at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Our build-up however will begin much sooner. Do join us then, take care and goodbye!

Kemar Roach (8-2-21-2) comes up for a quick chat. The speedster says that they adjusted well as the pitch was tough to adjust, in terms of length. Talks about the grassy patch and mentions that they tried to hit those areas. Feels that winning the toss was important and shares that it's always best to bowl first in Antigua. Adds that it's a tough pitch to bat on and praises Kraigg Brathwaite for leading them well. Hopes to fight hard on Day 2 and get a good lead.

It was a hard toil for the Bangladeshi bowlers but they bowled really well. It's just that they didn't have luck on their side and a couple of missed opportunities in the field too have cost them. With batting conditions almost certainly to get better, it could be a long and hard day for them if they don't manage to pick up early wickets. Mustafizur Rahman was simply sensational and Ebadot Hossain probed well but they could only pick up a couple of wickets in total to go with their poor batting performance from earlier in the day.

West Indies lost a couple of wickets in the final session and only managed to score 80 runs in 33 overs. Given the pitch conditions, they would rather have wickets in hand for Day 2 as the pitch will get better for batting then. Kraigg Brathwaite as usual has been the rock for his team and has faced 149 balls for his 42. It will be interesting to see if he can build on the start and score a bit more freely. John Campbell and Raymon Reifer looked good for a bit at the top of the order but got out. Nkrumah Bonner is out there and will be looking to put on a big stand with his skipper come Day 2.

Day 1 of the first Test between West Indies and Bangladesh has flown by and the hosts trail by just 8 runs with 8 wickets in hand. It has been a day that has belonged to the bowlers as a total of 12 wickets fell throughout the course of the day. 10 of those wickets though belonged to the Windies quicks and that has now put them in pole position.

SAFE! Nkrumah Bonner has no idea what he is doing there but he survives. This is flatter and around off, Kraigg Brathwaite taps it towards cover-point and looks for the single but decides against it.

The decision does get sent upstairs but the replay shows that Bonner saved himself by putting in the desperate dive.

Is that run-out? A huge mix-up in the middle but Nkrumah Bonner seems to have made it. The decision is sent upstairs and the replay shows that the dive did save Bonner. NOT OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Almost an unplayable delivery from Ebadot Hossain and Bangladesh have the second breakthrough. Hossain comes from round the wicket, and goes a bit wide of the crease. This is bowled full and angled into the middle stump line, the ball straightens after pitching as well. Raymon Reifer looks to play at it with an angled bat and ends up playing all around it as the outside edge is found. Nurul Hasan takes a sharp catch diving to his left and the salute celebration is out from Ebadot Hossain.

Shout for a caught behind! Didn't look out to the naked eye and maybe it was just a review taken out of desperation. Shakib Al Hasan flights it up nicely, around off. The ball grips and turns away sharply as Kraigg Brathwaite looks to defend off the front foot. Brathwaite gets beaten past the outside edge. The keeper though seems absolutely certain that there is an outside edge on it and Shakib Al Hasan does take the review for a caught-behind decision. The third umpire checks UltraEdge and confirms there's no spike on it. Brathwaite survives and Bangladesh lose a review as well.

DRINKS! The first half of the final session on Day 1 has been quite fiercely contested but certainly, West Indies will be the happier of the two sides. They haven't been able to score freely by any means but have taken a significant chunk out of the Bangladeshi total without much fuss. Mustafizur Rahman has been probing and probing for the visitors and has picked up one wicket. Kraigg Brathwaite's stay at the crease is the key for West Indies and the visitors will be hoping to get rid of him at the earliest. Also, Ebadot Hossain (6-2-7-0) comes in to replace Mustafizur Rahman.

Welcome back to our coverage of the final session of Day 1 of the first Test match between West Indies and Bangladesh. The hosts will be looking to build on the platform laid down by the openers who have negotiated the new ball well. Bangladesh on the other hand will want to restrict West Indies in their first innings to a low total. They did bowl 10 maiden overs in the first 15 overs but they need wickets now. Let us resume witnessing this engrossing battle between bat and ball!

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

Another session belonged to West Indies! They took very little time to pick the remaining four wickets and folded out Bangladesh for a paltry total. Had it not been for a counter-attacking half-century by the newly elected captain Shakib Al Hasan, the touring team would have struggled to touch even 100. In reply, the West Indian openers started very watchfully and have managed to preserve all their wickets. Kraigg Brathwaite did offer them a chance but Mominul Haque dropped the catch. Post that, it was all about the hosts putting up a strong defensive display. The bowlers have dominated thus far. Bangladesh didn't get any wickets but bowled very tidily. Do join us at 12.30 am local (7 pm GMT, previous day) to see whether the bat can dominate the ball in the final session of Day 1.

Rare bad shot attempted. Full and wide outside off, Kraigg goes chasing after it but fails to connect.

2.30

PUT DOWN! The leg gully fielder was there for this very reason but fails to do the job. Mustafizur Rahman pitches it around middle, on a length and gets it to shape in. Kraigg Brathwaite tries to defend but it takes the inner edge and files quickly to Mominul Haque who fails to hang on to the catch. That's a big miss, we all know Kraigg Brathwaite's appetite for big runs.

2.20

Around off, on a length, blocked from the back foot.

2.10

Uppish but safe! Movement and extra bounce from around middle, Kraigg Brathwaite tries to defend but it takes the shoulder of his bat and flies to square leg. It falls away from the fielder stationed there.

Starts well. Lands a full ball around off, a hint of inward shape, Kraigg Brathwaite is half-forward as he defends.

Commentary

We are back for West Indies' first innings! The Bangladeshi players are seen in a huddle before taking the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Mustafizur Rahman has the new ball in hand and is ready to go...

... Second Innings ...

Bangladesh will be mightily disappointed with that batting display. They fell prey to the conditions early in the day and no one really showed any kind of stability at the top of the order. Tamim Iqbal did look like he would go on to build on the start he got but it wasn't meant to be. The only batter who really put up any fight was the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan who scored a quickfire fifty and managed to get his side over the 100-run mark. The visitors will have to bowl out of their skin to keep the opposition to a total as close to theirs as possible. An uphill climb for their bowlers awaits. Do join us for the second essay in a short while.

It has been an absolutely brilliant outing from the Windies pacers and they have managed to bundle out Bangladesh inside 33 overs! It was great intensity from the hosts right from the get-go and that has worked wonders for them. Kemar Roach gave them a brilliant start and the others built on it. They did give away a few runs but it was only a matter of time before Shakib Al Hasan mistimed one and he did just that and West Indies capitalized on it. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales finished with three wickets each while Kyle Mayers too got a couple of important breakthroughs against the run of play. All in all, top performance from the hosts with the ball.

32.5W

OUT! CAUGHT! Fuller this time, around off, Khaled Ahmed brings down a straight bat in defense but it takes a thick outside edge and flies straight into the hands of Nkrumah Bonner at fourth slip. Khaled Ahmed becomes the sixth batter for Bangladesh to bag a duck. The tourists are bundled out for just 103.

32.40

A touch short and outside off, Khaled Ahmed removes his bat from the line of the delivery.

32.30

Digs it in short, around off, Khaled makes a late leave.

Khaled Ahmed is the last man in for Bangladesh.

32.2W

OUT! Shakib holes out! Alzarri Joseph angles in a length ball, around off, Shakib Al Hasan winds up for a big heave-ho over mid-wicket but ends up playing it a lot straighter. It flies down to widish long on and Kemar Roach takes the skier safely. End of a handy knock by the skipper. Bangladesh are nine down for just 103.

32.10

Slightly short and on off, Shakib moves back and lofts it over cover-point. No run taken.

Negotiated safely. Ebadot Hossain gets right behind the line of the delivery and offers a dead bat in defense.

Jayden Seales gets a second warning from the umpire for running over the danger zone on his followthrough. He has to be really careful now.

31.50

Poor delivery. Down the leg side, an easy leave for the number 10. Jayden Seales receives a warning for running on the danger area.

31.41

Short and on middle, pulled to deep square leg for a run. Again two balls to survive for Ebadot.

31.34

FOUR! FIFTY FOR SHAKIB! His 28th in Tests and 9th versus West Indies. It's been a good attacking knock from the skipper. Fuller and outside off, Shakib this time goes through the line and smashes it towards the long off fence. 100 up for Bangladesh!

31.20

Full in length, around middle, Shakib heaves it over mid-wicket and it falls wide of Kemar Roach running across to his left from wide long on. They decide not to run.

31.10

Too full in length and around off, Shakib squeezes it out through point and denies the single.

JUST SHORT! Back of a length, around middle, Ebadot Hossain is on his toes as he fends it away uncomfortably. The ball goes uppishly to short leg where Raymon Reifer is standing a shade deep. It falls in front of his outstretched hands.

30.50

Spears in a very full ball around off, Ebadot Hossain tries to defend but it whistles past the outside edge. After planting a leg gully, this delivery came as a surprise for the batter.

30.41

Short and on middle, Shakib rides the bounce and pulls it to deep square leg for a run. Two balls to survive for Ebadot Hossain and Shakib has a word with him.

30.30

Follows the batter down the leg side with a shortish delivery, Shakib turns it on the leg side. The ball rolls in the gap at mid-wicket but again Shakib doesn't run.

30.20

Short and on middle, Shakib steps back and cuts it to deep point and denies the single.

30.11

Alzarri Joseph digs it in short, around leg, Ebadot Hossain gets into a tangle as he awkwardly fends at it. It goes wide of the keeper and towards fine leg. They cross and Shakib returns on strike.

Smartly bowled. Jayden Seales senses the movement from the batter and slips a length ball down the leg side. Shakib shuffles across the stumps and then tries to flick. Misses. Ebadot Hossain will be on strike for the start of the next over.

29.51

Goes short and around leg, Ebadot Hossain fends it away and it goes down to fine leg. They take the single.

29.40

Angling in around off, on a length and shaping away, Ebadot Hossain tries to defend but misses.

29.31

Short and on middle, Shakib pulls it to deep square leg and looks for two. He realizes that the fielder has attacked the ball and sends Ebadot Hossain back eventually.

29.21

DROPPED! Nkrumah Bonner got a hand to it but failed to hang on. Jayden Seales delivers it on a length and outside off, Ebadot Hossain hangs his bat out and edges it to gully. Nkrumah Bonner dives across to his left, and attempts to catch it with one hand but it doesn't stick. The ball goes behind and they get a run. Good result for Bangladesh.

29.10

Darts a length ball on off, Ebadot blocks it well.

FOUR! Shakib decides to go for the boundary and shows no intention to take a single and retain strike. Back of a length, around off, Shakib rocks back and drags it wide of short mid-wicket. 12 from the over, Bangladesh are 7 away from touching 100.

28.54

FOUR! A touch short and on middle, angling in, Shakib heaves it over backward square leg and fetches a boundary. One ball left in the over for Shakib to retain strike.

28.40

Short and wide outside off, Shakib goes half-heartedly at it, as he attempts to cut. Gets a bottom edge and it doesn't carry to Joshua Da Silva.

28.30

28.20

Shortish and on off, Shakib steps back and dabs it to deep point. Doesn't take the run.

28.14

27.50

Back of a length, around off, Hossain pushes inside the line and misses.

Ebadot Hossain is the new man in.

27.4W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mustafizur Rahman doesn't follow the plan and pays the price. Shakib was showing no confidence in him in the previous over, and it appeared the advice was to not flirt with anything not targeted at his body. Mustafizur Rahman follows this for three balls but loses his patience on the fourth ball. Finds a delivery drivable outside off and tries to showcase his talent. But his attempted drive results in an inside edge and Joshua Da Silva accepts yet another catch behind the stumps.

27.30

Angling away from the batter, on a length, Mustafizur Rahman is doing as told, not offering his bat.

27.20

Fuller and outside off, inviting the drive, Mustafizur Rahman stays back and lets it be.

26.50

Shortish and around middle, Shakib shuffles back a bit but is cramped for room and is forced to defend it down.

26.40

Gets behind the line of the delivery and defends it down safely.

26.30

That's unplayable. Alzarri Joseph bowls from round the wicket and serves a length ball around off. Shakib attempts to play the line but is beaten by the away movement.

26.20

Short and it's been pulled to deep square leg. Shakib denies the single.

26.10

Short ball on off, Shakib pulls it across the line but not in the gap.

OUT! Strangled down the leg side! Early success for West Indies in the session yet again and Bangladesh slip further. A pretty innocuous delivery, drifting down the leg side, on a length, Mehidy Hasan tries flicking but it takes a faint tickle from his bat and flies away to the keeper. Joshua Da Silva collects his third catch of the match and Bangladesh's total reads 77 for 7.

25.51

Goes full and in the line of the stumps, Shakib knocks it down to long on for one.

25.40

Make it four leaves in a row. Shakib has adopted a cautious approach to start.

25.30

Back of a length, around off and angling away, Shakib makes one more leave.

25.20

Lands it on a good length, wide outside off, another leave from Shakib.

25.10

Starts a new spell by angling away a length ball outside off, Shakib has nothing to do with it. He wants a sighter as of now.

We are back for the post-Lunch session on Day 1! The umpires and the players are on the field as Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan make their way back to the middle. Jayden Seales to start proceedings with the ball after the interval.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then, session one is done and West Indies seem to be in complete command at the moment. Bangladesh did get bowled out for 43 in the first innings the last time they played a Test match here but will want to put on some sort of a total on the board. Do join us for a riveting post-Lunch session coming up soon at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT).

West Indies will be very happy with their exploits in the first session and the man who has the most wickets on this ground, Kemar Roach, was in full swing today as well. Roach picked up two wickets at the top and Jayden Seales too got one. Alzarri Joseph didn't quite find his length right but the introduction of Kyle Mayers after the Drinks break turned the momentum back in the hosts' favour and they are right on top of proceedings here. With the sun starting to shine and the ball getting a bit worn out, the Windies will want to pick up the remaining wickets at the earliest and not allow Shakib Al Hasan to have his way with the bat.

Bangladesh had the worst possible start as Mahmudul Hasan Joy fell for a golden duck in the very first over. After that the next couple of batters too went out without troubling the scorers, leaving the visitors reeling at 16/3! After this Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das did put up a fight and survived the first hour of the day. However, after the Drinks break both batters fell in quick succession and the wicket of Nurul Hasan meant Bangladesh were in deep trouble. Since then, the skipper Shakib Al Hasan has tried to counter-attack and has been effective to an extent as well. The hosts will try to muster up as many runs as possible now.

Session summary - 25 overs, 76 runs and 6 wickets! It has been an engrossing first session here on Day 1 and the hosts have certainly bossed it. They have picked up six wickets and have made full use of the pitch and conditions. West Indies now have a chance of bundling out the opposition in the next session itself.

A good attempt nonetheless. With Bangladesh in dire straits, this shot should be avoided by Shakib.

OUT! LBW! Two wickets in the over for Kyle Mayers and the Windies are all over the opposition! Mayers goes a bit wider of the crease and angles in a big inswinger from well outside off. Nurul Hasan looks to pad it away but the ball does come a long way in. Huge appeal from the bowler and it is given. Hasan looks sheepishly at his skipper and does review it. No spike on UltraEdge as the ball is nowhere near the bat and Ball Tracking shows that it's clipping the off stump. The onfield decision stays. Hasan goes for a duck and Bangladesh looking to bow out in a hurry here.

Nurul Hasan offers no shot and gets pinged on the pads, the umpire raises his finger. Hasan does review it. It is a fair delivery and UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat on it. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off which doesn't matter as no shot is offered and the ball is going on to clip the top of off. The original decision stands, OUT!

14.54lb

FOUR LEG BYES! Attempts a yorker again but strays in line. Angling down leg and clips Nurul Hasan's pads on the way and goes down to the fine leg boundary.

Nurul Hasan is the new man in.

14.4W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Catastrophe! Litton Das follows Tamim Iqbal back to the pavilion and the Windies will have two new batters to bowl at. Kyle Mayers bowls this one on a length and angles it in from outside off. Das strides towards the ball and looks to play it off the front foot. It is the scrambled-seam delivery and the ball just holds its line, unlike the last delivery that swung away. Das gets a feather on it and this time Joshua Da Silva takes a simple catch behind the sticks. The visitors are now five down and Mayers gets a wicket in his very first over.

14.30

Full and shaping away beautifully. It's bowled slightly wide this time and beats the bat of Litton Das.

14.20

Yorker length, angling into the stumps. Litton Das digs it out to short mid-wicket.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Tamim Iqbal has got a faint edge on it and has to walk back. Alzarri Joseph speeds in and goes full and down the leg side. Iqbal looks to flick it away but once again it's the right leg that makes it look like he's falling over. The ball goes off the edge and to the right of the keeper. Joshua Da Silva dives across to his right and takes a sharp catch. Iqbal departs cheaply after a decent start and the visitors have to start all over again.

13.50

Change of length, goes shorter this time, Tamim Iqbal ducks underneath it.

13.40

Fuller and on middle, Iqbal defends it back towards Alzarri Joseph.

13.30

Bowls a length ball on middle, Tamim Iqbal defends it back towards the bowler.

DRINKS! It's been a productive first hour for the hosts as Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales have sent three opposition batters back to the pavilion without even opening their accounts. The pair of Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das has done well so far to steady the ship a bit but neither of them has quite found the touch yet. West Indies will now be looking to repeat their showing with the ball and pick up a couple of more wickets before Lunch. It is very important for Bangladesh that the two batters currently at the crease stay there till the interval, at least.

Better this time, on a length and outside off, shaping away, Das leaves. The length is right but he needs to bowl a lot closer to the stumps.

9.20

A touch short again, around off, Das rocks back to pull but mistimes his shot to mid on.

Great lines from Roach. Pitching it on and around off, on a length and getting it to nip away. Tamim Iqbal strides forward and then allows it through.

Litton Das walks out to bat with Bangladesh in a spot of bother.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The poor batting form of Mominul Haque continues. He stepped down from captaincy to focus on his batting but it has not started well for him. Jayden Seales joins the party and Bangladesh are in a big spot of bother. The angle of Jayden does the trick. He serves it around off and on a length. Mominul Haque could have left it but has a feel for it inside the line with zero footwork. It kisses the shoulder of his bat and Jermaine Blackwood takes a sharp catch to his right at second slip.

Howwzzatt? Perhaps missing the leg stump as the finger stays down. Jayden Seales serves an inswinger. He pitches it around leg and it nips back in to beat the attempted flick shot of Tamim Iqbal. He is rapped on the pads, they appeal but to no avail.

OUT! CAUGHT! It's a golden duck for Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Roach switches to over the wicket for the right-hander and hurls across a length ball outside off. It lands and shapes back in a shade, again with some extra bounce. Mahmudul Hasan Joy is on the front foot, he has committed himself to the defensive shot. The ball hurries onto this blade, takes the outside edge and Nkrumah Bonner takes a nice diving catch to his right at gully.

Tamim is away on the first ball, although in an unconvincing manner. Kemar Roach speeds in from 'round the wicket and gets a length ball to move back into the southpaw with extra bounce. Tamim tries to defend but it takes the inner half and runs behind square leg. They cross for a run.

Done with the pre-game formalities and it's time now to play. The Windies team is seen in a huddle as Kemar Roach presents Gudakesh Motie with his maiden Test cap and Motie becomes the 328th cricketer to represent the Windies in Test matches. The Bangladeshi openers, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy take their guard as Kemar Roach has been handed the new ball and is raring to go. The Windies players and the Bangladeshi openers take the knee to show their support for the BLM movement. Let's play...

We are moments away from the start of play. But first, the two sets of teams line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Bangladesh's national anthem first followed by the national anthem of the West Indies. Also, Daryl Matthew, the minister of education of Antigua, says a few words and commemorates the start of the Test match.

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose and Samuel Badree are pitchside. Badree says that a gayle-force wind is blowing across the ground and the pitch looks a bit strange. Sir Ambrose says that there is some grass around the edges of the pitch and it will be interesting to see how it plays. Badree says that it seems to be result oriented.

Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, says they would have bowled first too but they don’t mind batting even though it will be tough in the first hour. He feels it will be good for them to bowl in the fourth innings as they have two spinners. He has confidence in his side as they have exciting fast bowlers and gives a special mention to Litton Das who he thinks has been playing well. Says it is time for them to put their hands up and play to their best abilities and gives respect to the West Indies team as he feels they have good players.

West Indies skipper, Kraigg Brathwaite says that they will bowl first, as the pitch has more moisture. Adds that Gudakesh Motie makes his debut and he's looking forward to the opportunity. Further says that they need to be more focused on this series and they have set higher standards for this series compared to the last one.

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

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, Gudakesh Motie (On debut) and Jayden Seales.

TOSS - West Indies have won the toss and they will BOWL first.

Did you know? The last time Bangladesh played a Test in Antigua, they got bowled out for 43 in the first innings. West Indies ended up winning that game by an innings and 219 runs.
