| 0.0 : Warm welcome ladies and gentlemen for the second Test match between Bangladesh and Windies at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. The hosts registered a comprehensive win in the last match and would be eyeing to take revenge for their last series loss in West Indies with a 2-0 scoreline. Their spinners once again will be the hot property and it's needless to say, how the Windies batsmen deal with them will decide the fate of this game. A few injuries and suspension will result in some cha |
| Toss - Shakib Al Hasan wins the all-important toss and no prizes for guessing, BANGLADESH WILL BAT. A big relief for the home team as Mushfiqur Rahim is passed fit to play, however, he will not keep. In comes Liton Das to don the gloves and to accommodate him, Mustafizur Rahman is sacrificed. The other change being Shadman Islam, who will make his debut in place of inured Imrul Kayes. For Windies, there is one obvious change - Shannon Gabriel is out as he will be serving his one-match suspension |
| Pitch report - The outfield looks good and quick. The surface looks good as well. It's hard with a nice covering of grass. Seems like good batting conditions. Lots of runs to be scored. Win the toss and bat first, that's the way to go. No-brainer really. |
| It's time to get underway. Soumya Sarkar has a new opening partner in Shadman Islam. So two left-handers will be opening. Kemar Roach to begin proceedings with the brand new ball. Two slips in place. Here we go... |

A simple take for Shai Hope at first slip who jumps to pouch it easily. A good looking partnership is brought to an abrupt end and Bangladesh's opening woes continu |
| Drinks break. A good hour of play this morning. The pitch is already taking turn and it's going to be a fascinating battle.

A cross-seam delivery, it's bowled on the shorter side outside off and Mominul tries to play the horizontal bat shot but is not entirely on top of the ball. He ends up miscuing it completely in the air towards mid on where Roston Chase makes no mistake. Beaten for pace, probably. Lunch will smell and taste better f |
| Excellent end to the session for the touring team. Although it was owned by the hosts until the last ball. They won a good toss and their openers laid a strong platform. But just before the Drinks break, they lost Soumya Sarkar. The pitch was offering plenty of spin and bounce right from the beginning, and Roston Chase was the one to provide the initial breakthrough. Yet another partnership developed after that which also ended before the break. Losing Mominul Haque is a body blow to Bangladesh |
| Windies didn't bowl badly but they weren't too threatening, particularly the pacers. Also, compared to the regular spinners, Warrican and Bishoo, Chase looked more penetrative. They would like to get better with their lines and lengths post Lunch and create further inroads. The visitors already have been lucky twice that two promising partnerships got broken just in time. They just can't afford to let the batsmen settle in on this surface. Having said that, the Bangladeshi debutant, Shadman Isla |

| Drinks! A good hour of play post Lunch for Bangladesh where the pair of Mithun and Shadab batted without any trouble. The debutant notched up his fifty and continues to impress everyone with his composure and stroke play. The partnership is approaching fifty and this has proved to be the vulnerable period for Bangladesh today (two stands in the 40s). Windies are getting assistance off the surface but are not accurate enough to pose any threat. They need to keep picking wickets in order to stay o |

| 51.6 : R Chase to Mithun, APPEAL FOR A CATCH! Not given! Tossed up again on middle, Mithun looks to defend but gets hit on the pads and the ball lobs to short leg. The bowler appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Replays show there was no inside edge however it was a close matter. |

| 56.1 : D Bishoo to M Mithun, OUT! Bowled 'em! That's three in a row for Bishoo against Mithun. To be honest, it wasn't a wicket taking delivery. The leggie drops it short and in line of the stumps. It skids through after landing as Mithun goes back to pull it across the line. Maybe, he misread the length and was also early into the shot. Fails to make any connection and the stumps are shattered. Finally a success for Windies in this session as they break the 64-run stand. Can they pick more befor |

| D Bishoo to Islam, Beaten! Bishoo serves this one very full and outside off. Islam fails to dig it out. |
| 58.5 : D Bishoo to Islam, OUT! Oh dear, Shadman is out of here! Bishoo strikes again and this was a good delivery by him. He tosses it up in the air and lands it full around off. It spins back in sharply after kissing the deck and Shadman unfortunately plays down the wrong line as he presses forward in defense. The ball meets the pads, they appeal and the finger goes up almost immediately. The debutant knows he is gone for all money and doesn't even bother to think of a referral. So much maturity |
| Mushfiqur Rahim, playing as a proper batsman, is in next. The two most experienced Bangladeshi batsmen in the middle now. |

| Kemar Roach has grabbed a good low catch in his followthrough and is claiming it. The batsman is not going anywhere and the umpires get together. They have a chat and then go upstairs. Has that bounced? |
| 61.5 : K Roach to Hasan, Yes, it has indeed bounced! Shakib survives. The crowd cheers, more in relief. The Bangla skipper smiles. A length delivery angling into the batsman from outside off, it holds up a bit onto Shakib as he gets forward to push at it. The ball takes the higher half of the bat and lobs back. Roach puts in a dive and grabs it low. He gets up and celebrates but Shakib holds his ground. The umpires have a chat and then refer it upstairs. The replays roll in and they show that it |
| 61.6 : K Roach to Hasan, On middle, angling in, played on the leg side. |

| 62.4 : K Brathwaite to Hasan, Tossed up on off, Shakib defends off the front foot. |

| 62.6 : K Brathwaite to Hasan, Floated on off, Shakib drives it through covers for a single. Tea on Day 1! |
| A session which will fall in the category of shared one due to the two late wickets. Bangladesh batted without any issues in the first hour post Lunch where the pair of Mithun and Shadman raised a fifty partnership. Devendra Bishoo struck twice after that to remove both the batsmen and provided Windies with a reason to smile. The Bangladeshi debutant was unlucky to miss out on a century but did enough to prove his mettle. The tourists are doing well to be patient as they are not giving away easy |
| ... DAY 1, SESSION 3 ... |
| We're back for the last session. The men concerned are also back on the field. Windies have the momentum heading into this session and would be looking to create further inroads. For Bangladesh, their two most experienced batsmen are there to deal with it. Promises to be an exciting battle. Shermon Lewis to kick off proceedings. |
| 63.1 : S Lewis to Hasan, Begins from 'round the wicket and slips a full length ball down the leg side. Shakib fails to flick and it's an easy take for Dowrich. Just a little glance from umpire Aleem Dar on the bowler's landing area. Whenever Lewis has bowled from this angle, he has flirted with danger. |
| 63.2 : S Lewis to Hasan, Fullish and on middle, Shakib pushes it down the ground and the mid on fielder makes a fine tumbling stop. They take a run. |
| 63.3 : S Lewis to Rahim, Back of a length delivery shaping back into the batsman with extra bounce, Rahim does well to play it with soft hands to gully. |
| 63.4 : S Lewis to M Rahim, Alters his length to go very full on off, Rahim drives it back to the bowler. Lewis does well to stop it in his followthrough and then threatens to throw the ball at the striker without even picking it. Hmm... |

| 63.6 : S Lewis to Rahim, Full length delivery on off, Rahim gets forward and pushes it with gentle hands to cover-point for a run. |

| 64.3 : D Bishoo to Rahim, Full and flighted on off, defended back off the front foot. |
| 64.4 : D Bishoo to Rahim, 4000 Test runs for Mushfiqur Rahim, Mr. Dependable! Reaches there by cutting a short delivery to sweeper cover for a single. It's a milestone achieved only by Tamim Iqbal before for Bangladesh. Rahim celebrates quietly. |

| 67.3 : S Lewis to Rahim, OUT! Right through the gate! It's a beauty by Sherman to dismiss Rahim. He spears in a full delivery around off and gets it to tail back in a bit. Rahim tries his best to play with a straight bat but his front foot goes nowhere near to the pitch of the ball. As a result, it whizzes past the inside half of his bat and disturbs the timber. Sherman is ecstatic, he has bagged the prized scalp. A distraught Rahim returns. Windies continue to chip away at the wickets. |

| Drinks break. Once again a good hour of play we have witnessed. Windies managed to remove Rahim early after the Tea break but since then, Mahmudullah and Shakib have formed a partnership. The latter is a bit lucky that Windies didn't review against him for an lbw shout as the replays showed that he would have been gone. 14 more overs left in the day's play.

| End of an absorbing day of Test cricket! We witnessed three well-fought sessions. Whenever Bangladesh looked like running away with the show, Windies bounced back by picking wickets. The first two sessions were shared but the last one owing to the 69-run partnership between Shakib and Mahmudullah gave Bangladesh the edge. |
| Earlier, Bangladesh won the all-important toss and had no hesitation in batting first. Debutant Shadman Islam and Soumya Sarkar provided them with a steady start but then Roston Chase hunted down the latter with a lovely off spinning delivery. Another partnership developed after that but just before the Lunch break, Kemar Roach picked up the prized scalp of Mominul Haque. Mohammad Mithun and Shadman joined forces to raise a 64-run stand post Lunch and the debutant went on to notch up a fine half |
| The tourists picked up a couple of wickets late in the afternoon session and then removed Mushfiqur Rahim soon after the Tea break in a bid to gain an upper hand. But Shakib and Mahmudullah made sure to see off the day's play safely. The Bangladeshi skipper did get a reprieve on 31 when an lbw decision wasn't reviewed by Windies. Zooming on the bowling performance, Kemar Roach bowled his heart out while Sherman Lewis also looked in rhythm in the spell where he sent Rahim packing. Roston Chase an |
| We head to Day 2 with this Test match very much in balance. The morning session will be crucial as Windies might decide to take the second new ball immediately. Given the way this surface has behaved, Bangladesh will hope to bat big in their first innings and take their total close to 400, if not more. It promises to be yet another fascinating day on Saturday. Do join us at 0930 local (0330 GMT) for all the action. Cheers! |
| ... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ... |
| Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test between Bangladesh and Windies at Mirpur. The hosts are in a comfortable position after the ongoing partnership between Shakib and Mahmudullah and the visitors need to break this stand first thing in the morning. The pitch is offering turn and the Windies spinners will need to bowl more attacking lines than yesterday. It is not going to be easy for the Windies batsmen either with the Bangladesh unit packed with spinners. |
| PITCH REPORT - Tino Mawoyo doing the pitch report says that there are few areas drying up. Adds that the conditions are conducive for spinners. Reckons that the ball won't turn as much as it did in the last match and his suggestion to the batsmen is to trust their defense. Ends by saying that if Bangladesh bat well they can get close to 400. |
| Devendra Bishoo gives an interview. Says that he just wanted to keep it simple on Day 1. Admits that he didn't bowl that well in the first innings of the last Test and in this game he is just trying to keep it wicket-to-wicket. On this surface, he states that he is bowling a lot slower and hopes that it will offer more spin as the match progresses to the quicker ones as well. On not bowling more googlies, Bishoo replies again that he wants to keep it simple and bowl his leg spinners with more ac |
| Shadman Islam doing an interview says that he was nervous but it was his job too. Mentions that he played the way he does. Adds saying he was disappointed not making a century. Continues saying that it was his dream to play for Bangladesh. Ends saying that the wicket was a good one to bat on. |
| We are all set to get underway. Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan stride out to the middle. Meanwhile, as expected, Windies take the new ball. Kemar Roach will have a first go at it. Two slips in place for him. Let's see if he can make early inroads. |

| 92.2 : K Roach to Hasan, Good length delivery on off, Shakib defends off the front foot. |
| 92.3 : K Roach to Hasan, LEG BYE! Length delivery on leg, Shakib looks to flick but gets it off the thigh pad. The batsmen take a quick single. |
| Is that out? No maybe not! Shimron Hetmyer is the only one who thinks that it has carried. Kemar Roach is clear in telling that he is not sure. The umpire has taken it up and the soft signal is not out. |
| 92.4 : K Roach to Mahmudullah, NOT OUT! The replays are not conclusive and the third umpire has decided to go with the soft call. Mahmudullah survives early in the day. Roach delivers it on a good length outside off and gets some extra bounce as well. Mahmudullah is caught pushing inside the line from the crease and it takes the outside edge. The ball lobs behind but is dying in front of second slip. Hetmyer stretches low to grab the ball and is claiming the catch. Kemar Roach is not sure. The um |
| 92.5 : K Roach to Mahmudullah, Good length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah offers no shot. |
| 92.6 : K Roach to Mahmudullah, Length delivery on off, Mahmudullah drives it through covers. The batsmen pick up a couple. |

| 93.3 : R Chase to Hasan, Gets behind this ball and taps it on front of him. |
| 93.4 : R Chase to Hasan, FOUR! Not this time. Gets the desired result. Gets low and sweeps this front of square leg through mid-wicket for a boundary! |

| 94.1 : K Roach to Mahmudullah, Length delivery on middle, Mahmudullah looks to drive but gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 94.2 : K Roach to Mahmudullah, Full outside off, Mahmudullah drives it to covers. |

| 94.3 : Roach to Mahmudullah, NOT OUT! Good length delivery coming into the batsman, Mahmudullah looks to flick but misses it and gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Windies go for the review. Replays show that impact is in line and wickets is umpires call. It was closer than it looked.

| If Day 1 was about sharing sessions, Bangladesh have been selfish on Day 2. Came out with a very positive intent and hammered 128 runs in the morning in spite of losing Shakib Al Hasan. They find themselves in the driver's seat now and will have to thank the ongoing partnership between Liton Das and Mahmudullah. The pair has been ruthless, Liton in particular, and as a result, Bangladesh are only 13 short of the 400-run mark. |
| Windies started well initially but once Mahmudullah and Shakib started to counterattack, they went flat. Kemar Roach once again was the best bowler on show but he didn't receive much support from his partners. Given the nature of the pitch, their spinners have been a big disappointment. The tourists are staring down the barrel and need a big effort from hereon to turn things around. It's advantage Bangladesh going into the break. Do join us in a short while for the afternoon session. |
| ... Day 2, Session 2 ... |

Liton who expected the ball to bounce just enough, gets in position early to reverse sweep it to the on side. He doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, which keeps a bit low. Goes under his bat and knocks off the off pole. An unnecessary shot from Liton when he was looking so good. Kraigg is all smiles. |

| 133.5 : Chase to Islam, NOT OUT! No inside edge and then they checked for the lbw as well. Going wide of the stumps. Windies have now lost all their reviews. Chase bowls it from wide of the crease and dishes out a slider. It lands around off and skids back in off the surface. Beats Taijul in his forward defensive prod and pops out of his pads to first slip. The fielder takes the catch, they appeal but the umpire disagrees.

Taijul responds to his partner's call and sets off for the run. A bit of yes-no there but Mahmudullah is ball watching. Taijul is half way down. Hope throws it to the keeper's end where Mahmudullah is safe. Dowrich then collects it and has a shy at the non-striker's end. Had he hit, Islam was a goner. He missed and Taijul survives. Nervous 90s I tell yo |
| 139.1 : R Chase to Islam, Tossed up ball on middle, played down with soft hands to mid-wicket for a run. |
| 139.2 : R Chase to Mahmudullah, Oohhhh... that nearly went onto the stumps! Mahmudullah is lucky that this deliver wasn't in the line of the stumps. A flatter and shorter delivery outside off, Mahmudullah tries to cut but it stays low and beats his bat. Almost kissed the inside edge there. |

| 140.5 : S Lewis to Islam, FOUR! Beauty! Not really overpitched on middle and leg, Taijul makes room and on the up goes straight past the bowler. The mid on fielder chases it but comes second best. The 50 partnership is up too. Great batting. |
| 140.6 : S Lewis to Islam, WIDE! Lewis wanted to give him some chin music but just goes too hard. Over the head height and Aleem Dar deems it as a wide. |
| S Lewis to Islam, On off, Islam taps it in front of himself. |

| 142.6 : K Brathwaite to Mahmudullah, Slower ball on middle, Mahmudullah bunts it down safely to end the session. Tea on Day 2. |
| Another session of the pie eaten by the hosts. But their stomachs are not full. They are hungry for more. Just when you think Windies are pulling things back, two of the Bangladeshi players stitch a 50-run stand. Mahmudullah took his time post Lunch but got to his 3rd Test ton eventually. Taijul Islam showing the crowd that he can bat as well. The duo have added 55 runs together and don't look like getting out. |
| For the Windies, the only solace for them is that they are just two wickets away from bowling out Bangladesh. Nothing seems to be working for them. Pace bowling has not been a problem but on a spin-friendly track, their spinners are not doing enough. Join us in a bit for the last session of the day. |

| Given out, caught behind. The umpire though wants to check for the no ball. |
| 144.4 : K Brathwaite to Islam, OUT! Gone this time! Brathwaite gets his second wicket. A harmless delivery, a touch flatter and served outside off, Taijul spots the opportunity to play a cracking drive through covers but ends up edging it behind. Dowrich makes no mistake this time, they appeal and the finger has gone up. After that, the umpire checks for the no ball but Kraigg is fine with his landing.

| Exceptional batting performance by the home team. They won the toss on Day 1 and adopted a slow approach initially. Runs were hard to come by but they stuck around and concentrated on forming partnerships. Debutant Shadman Islam was the star yesterday as he impressed everyone with his composure and shot selection. The hosts switched gears this morning and then started to score briskly. Shakib started it all and Liton Das took it forward. Amidst all this, Mahmudullah held one end and anchored the |
| Windies' bowling was not up to the mark. They did bowl well in patches but never created enough pressure. Kemar Roach was the pick of the bowlers as he tested the batsmen with his pace and accuracy. Their spinners, although picked late wickets, were a major disappointment on a helpful deck. |
| 0.1 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Tossed up ball on off, Brathwaite leans forward to block it but gets beaten. What turn on that one. Perhaps needs a second slip. |

| 0.6 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, OUT! Bowled 'em! Shakib Al Hasan, you beauty! Was good with the bat and now even better with the ball. Gets the previous one to spin away, this one curls back in. Arm ball around off, Braithwaite doesn't read it and comes forward to drive it. Leaves a gap between bat and pad and the ball sneaks through to destroy the stumps. Shakib gets the better of his counterpart and Bangladesh are roaring, already! |
| Shai Hope is in at no. 3. Also, Mehidy Hasan to bowl from the other end. |

| 5.3 : Hasan to K Powell, OUT! Bowled 'em! This time it is Mehidy Hasan! Bangladesh are on a roll. Arm ball on middle and off, keeps a bit low. Another similar mistake from the Windies as Kieran too, keeps some place between bat and pad. The ball goes in the gap and onto the stumps as Powell tries to push it to the off side. The stumps as broken and Mehidy joins the party. Remember, Powell had two hundreds here in Mirpur in two innings. Bangladesh will be more than happy to see his back. |

| 8.5 : Al Hasan to Ambris, Errs this down leg, Ambris covers his stumps and lets it go. |
| 8.6 : Hasan to S Ambris, OUT! 3 in 3. All falling to spinners. Shakib leading the way. Intent was good from Ambris but no temperament. Shakib flights this on off, Sunil comes down the track and looks to go big over covers. Plays for the turn but the ball doesn't spin. Goes straight and hits the stumps at the back. Bangladesh all over the Windies. How many can they pick up today? |

| 9.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Down leg side, Hope helps it through deep square leg for a couple of runs. |
| 9.2 : M Hasan to Hope, Played to mid-wicket region by Hope. The batsmen have run through for a single. |
| 9.3 : M Hasan to R Chase, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Four down now is Windies and the better player in the Windies team walks back. Another batsman playing for the turn loses his timber. Hasan floats this on of, the ball straightens. Chase is no where close to the ball and sees his off pole gone for all money. 4 wickets for Bangladesh, 2 for each spinner and all bowled. |

| 9.4 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Lovely! Spins into Hetmyer from outside off who does well to keep it out. |

| 10.6 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, Arm ball on leg, goes away from Shimron down the leg side who covers his stumps and decides against playing it. |
| 11.1 : M Hasan to Hope, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. |
| 11.2 : M Hasan to Hope, Shows the full face of the bat and blocks this one. |
| 11.3 : M Hasan to S Hope, FOUR! That looked good. Flighted ball outside off, Hope leans ahead and drives this crisply through covers for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : M Hasan to Hope, On middle and leg, turned through mid-wicket for one. |
| 11.5 : M Hasan to S Hetmyer, On off, hit uppishly towards the bowler to mid off. They cross. |
| 11.6 : M Hasan to S Hope, OUT! Tell you what! Windies have lost half their side in under 12 overs. Boy oh boy! What spin bowling this has been. Tossed up ball around off. Hope rocks back to play at this. To his dismay the ball keeps really low. He tried getting his bat down but it was too late. The ball goes under his bat and disturbs the wood back. Nothing much you can do at this as a batsman. Windies in real trouble. |
| Shane Dowrich is in next at number 7. |
| 12.1 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, Full on leg, hit away from the mid on fielder for a run. |

| 14.5 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, In the air...but safe. A shot in frustration there. Loopy ball on leg, Hetmyer looks to go big. Doesn't get under it. To his good luck it falls short of the long on fielder. They cross. |

| 15.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Dowrich flicks it away with a wristy shot. |
| 15.2 : M Hasan to Dowrich, On middle and leg, turned around the corner for a run. |
| 15.3 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Uppish but safe. Hetmyer lofts this over mid-wicket. The ball does go all the way as the fielder chases this and saves a run for his side. The batsmen run 3. |
| 15.4 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Squares him up. On middle and leg, Dowrich looks to work it to the on side but closes the bat face early. Gets a leading edge to the off side. No fielder there though. |
| 15.5 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Defended off the back foot by the batsman. |
| 15.6 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Played to mid-wicket region by the batsman. One run added to the total. |

| 17.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, FOUR! That's a lovely shot! Dowrich uses his feet to come down the track, reaches the pitch of the delivery in a flash and smashes it over mid on. This shot will give a lot of confidence to Shane. |

| 17.3 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Turning back into the batsman from around middle, Dowrich works it in front of square leg. |

| 17.5 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Tickles it with the spin to mid-wicket where the fielder makes a diving stop. |
| 17.6 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Loopy off spinner on middle, Dowrich plays it off his pads, soft hands, and it rolls to leg gully. |
| Bowling change. Naeem Hasan introduced into the attack. |
| 18.1 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Starts with a short delivery outside off, Hetmyer cuts it from the back foot but fails to beat point. The fielder makes a tumbling stop. |
| 18.2 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Fires this one in, full and on middle, Shimron tries to flick but gets a little leading edge back to the bowler. |
| Appeal for an lbw! The finger has gone up. Shimron Hetmyer has opted for the DRS. Spinning too much? |
| 18.3 : Hasan to Hetmyer, NOT OUT! Missing the stumps! Slower through the air by Naeem as he lands it full on middle. The ball spins away after landing as Hetmyer fails to block it with a straight bat. He is rapped on the pads, they appeal and the umpire agrees. Shimron takes the DRS and the Ball Tracker shows that it's spinning way too much. Hetmyer survives. |
| 18.4 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Quicker and on off, defended off the back foot. |
| 18.5 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Hetmyer dances down the track and tries to flick. But it comes off the leading edge and nearly carries back to the bowler. |
| 18.6 : N Hasan to S Hetmyer, Straighter in line, forced down to long on for one. |
| 19.1 : M Hasan to S Hetmyer, FOUR! Hasan delivers a short ball outside off, staying low, Hetmyer does well to keep his eyes on the ball as he moves back to pull it powerfully to the deep mid-wicket fence. |

| 20.4 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Tossed up on off, carves but straight to the man point. |
| 20.5 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, FOUR! Even through it is turning a bit Hetmyer gets close to the ball and lofts this over mid-wicket for a boundary. Calculated cricket. |
| 20.6 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Good cricket. A boundary followed by a run. Taps this towards square leg and sets off for a run to keep strike for the next over. |
| Taijul Islam to bowl his first over. |
| 21.1 : T Islam to Hetmyer, Tad short outside off, Hetmyer rocks back and slaps it through mid of for a couple of runs. |

| 22.1 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, Around off, defended off with a straight bat. |
| 22.2 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, Closer to the stumps, guided towards backward point. |
| 22.3 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, Tosses this one up on off, Dowrich works it towards mid on. |
| 22.4 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, Down the leg side, Shane tucks it around the corner for nothing. |
| 22.5 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, Keeps low on middle, well watched by Dowrich who blocks it out. |
| 22.6 : Mahmudullah to Dowrich, In line of the stumps, Dowrich plants his foot forward and keeps it out. Good over from Mahmudullah. |

| 23.6 : N Hasan to Dowrich, Spinning down the leg side, Dowrich tries flicking it but misses. That is it. STUMPS, DAY 2! |
| Yet another sorry batting performance by Windies. They were exposed badly by the spin pair of Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan and lost half their side inside 12 overs. Their lack of skill and temperament was once again on display as the Bangladeshi spinners steamrolled them. All the five wickets were bowled which also shows the accuracy with which the Bangla tweakers bowled, something the Windies bowlers failed to achieve. |
| Earlier in the day, Bangladesh showed a lot of intent with the bat as they switched gears in the morning. Runs started to flow and they managed to form quite a few partnerships to reach 508. Mahmudullah stroked a patient century while the lower order also contributed to the cause. Windies' bowling was very dismal, mainly from their spinners as they failed to exploit the friendly conditions. |
| The hosts have really planned this Test match superbly. Batted sensibly without taking any unnecessary risk on Day 1 and then capitalized on it on the following day. After all the hard work put in by the batsmen, their bowlers have now turned on the heat and it's all Bangladesh at the moment. Windies have their backs to the wall and need a miracle to turn things around. The current pair has shown application, let's see how they do on Sunday. Do join us at 0930 local (0330 GMT) for all the action |
| ... Day 3, Session 1 ... |
| Just reminding you all that Windies are batting on the same 22-yards as were the hosts. They just had no answer to the spin bowling of the Tigers. In the span of 12 overs, the visitors lost half their side and are staring down the barrel now. However, Hetmyer and Dowrich looked good out there last evening. They did the rescue act in the first innings of the previous match and now have to do more than that to get their team back in the game. Bangladesh, meantime, will look to make early inroads y |
| Pitch report - Tino Mawoyo says that the pitch has dried up and there are a few spots outside the off stump for the right-handers. He reckons that the ball will misbehave if it lands there. Ends by giving an advice that using the feet should help the batsmen. |
| Mahmudullah doing an interview is pleased that most of the batters did well. Adds saying that he is happy to contribute to the team. On the balls outside off, he mentions that he is working on it and neds to me more careful. On batting lower down the order he reckons that he has the freedom to express himself. |
| We are ready to get Day 3 underway. The Bangladeshi players have taken the field. Shimron Hetmyer and Shane Dowrich take the centre stage. Shakib Al Hasan will bowl the first over of the morning. |
| 24.1 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, Starts with a fuller length delivery in the line of the leg stump, Hetmyer flicks it in front of square leg and takes a run. It's important for Windies to stay positive and not get bogged down. |
| 24.2 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Turn and bounce. It lands around off and spins away sharply, Dowrich watches the line closely before making a leave. |
| 24.3 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, This one is darted in by Shakib, full and on off, Dowrich brings down a straight bat in defense. |
| 24.4 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Beaten! This will happen a lot today. Shakib tosses this one in the air and lands it closer to off stump. Shane tries to defend the line but it spins away to beat the bat. |
| 24.5 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Tossed up ball outside off, Dowrich makes a watchful leave. |
| 24.6 : Hasan to Dowrich, Shout for an lbw! Not given. Probably it has not skidded back in enough. An arm ball landing outside off, Dowrich decides to make a leave yet again but it skids through the surface and raps him on the back leg. Shakib appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Impact wasn't an issue there as Dowrich wasn't offering any shot but as mentioned earlier, the ball didn't change its direction enough to make connection with the stumps. The replays confirm the same. |
| Mehidy Hasan to bowl from the other end. |
| 25.1 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, SIX! That's positive. First ball of Mehidy and he deposits it in the stands. Fuller ball in line of the stumps. Hetmyer gets under it and lofts it over long on for a biggie. |
| 25.2 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Loopy ball around off, Hetmyer taps it to the off side. |
| 25.3 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Play and miss. A bit quicker outside off, Shimron looks to cut it but misses. |
| 25.4 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, On middle, this time he blocks it well. |
| 25.5 : M Hasan to S Hetmyer, Tossed up ball around off, Shimron plays it with a straight bat. |
| 25.6 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Given air over the stumps, Hetmyer blocks it out. Good comeback from Mehidy Hasan after going for the first ball six. |
| 26.1 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Beaten first ball! Looking tentative, Shane. Tries to play the trajectory by lunging forward but is beaten by the away spin. |
| 26.2 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Just short of the point fielder! An uncalled shot, this. Shakib gives this one some extra air and bowls it full and outside off. Dowrich is tempted into the drive but ends up slicing it in the air. Mehidy puts in a dive but it falls in front. |
| 26.3 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Much better this time. Dowrich draws forward to a full ball and defends it watchfully. |
| 26.4 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, FOUR! Good shot! No risk in that! Shakib drags his length short and bowls it around off. Shane pushes his weight on the back leg and punches it through point for a cracking boundary. |
| The batsman pulls out at the last moment, maybe someone walked in front of the sightscreen. |
| 26.5 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Quicker through the air, a low full toss, played towards mid-wicket. |
| 26.6 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Flights this time and pitches it full in line of the stumps, Dowrich leans forward and defends it with a straight bat. |
| 27.1 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Mehidy serves an off spinner around middle and off, from 'round the wicket angle, Shimron gets forward and defends it from the outer half of the bat. |
| 27.2 : Hasan to Hetmyer, Vociferous appeal for an lbw, the umpire shakes his head. Shakib thinks of reviewing but is not convinced enough. A slide by the bowler, landing on middle and skidding down. Hetmyer fails to pick the variation, gets forward to defend and misses. He is thudded on the pads and they put in an unsuccessful appeal. Oh hello, the replays show that it's hitting the leg stump. Bangladesh have missed a trick there. |
| 27.3 : Hasan to Hetmyer, OUT! Forget the last ball, Hetmyer is gone this time. Mehidy has his man. First delivery was an off spinner which took the outside half of the Hetmyer's bat. Then, it was a slider hitting the pads. And now again an off spinner which has dismissed Shimron. It's served in line of the middle stump and spins away after landing. Hetmyer tries hitting it across the line through mid-wicket but doesn't account for the away spin. It catches the leading half of the bat and lobs bac |
| Devendra Bishoo walks in next. |
| 27.4 : M Hasan to Bishoo, Flatter on off, defended off the back foot. |
| 27.5 : M Hasan to Bishoo, Tossed up ball on middle, turned off the pads to mid-wicket for a run. |
| 27.6 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Fullish and on off, defended from the crease by Shane to end a successful over. |
| 28.1 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, On the leg stump, Bishoo plays it with a straight bat. |
| 28.2 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, Loopy ball on off, driven to the off side. |
| 28.3 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, Darts this closer to the off pole, Bishoo is solid in his defense. |
| 28.4 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, Beaten! Tossed up ball outside off, Bishoo is drawn forward to play it but cannot get bat to ball. |
| 28.5 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, On middle and leg, Bishoo stays back and taps it near the short leg fielder. |
| 28.6 : Al Hasan to Bishoo, Down leg, Bishoo tucks it away past short fine leg but refuses the single. Maiden from Shakib. |
| 29.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Dowrich rocks back and taps this ball in front of him. |
| 29.2 : M Hasan to Dowrich, A tad short outside off, enough time for Dowrich to pull it through mid-wicket for a run. |
| 29.3 : M Hasan to Bishoo, Outside off, Bishoo tries to guide it past the slip fielder but cannot get it past him. |
| 29.4 : M Hasan to Bishoo, OUT! What a catch! It stuck but still it is a good catch! A bit on the shorter side outside off, Bishoo goes to cut it but checks his shot a bit. Reaches for it and then ends up giving it to Shadman Islam at silly point. The ball hits his body and then Shadman manages to grab it. What a debut he is having and a sixth fifer for Mehidy Hasan. |
| Kemar Roach is in next. |
| 29.5 : M Hasan to Roach, On leg stump, Roach looks to flick it but misses it completely to get his low on his pads. |
| 29.6 : M Hasan to Roach, Roach works it down the leg side to square leg. |
| 30.1 : Al Hasan to S Dowrich, Too full and outside off, pushed off the front foot to covers. |
| 30.2 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, An arm ball on middle, Dowrich is on the front foot in defense but it takes the inside edge and rolls behind square leg for a run. |
| 30.3 : Al Hasan to Roach, Beaten! Too good for a number 9 batsman! Roach is forward to defend the line which is around off but is beaten by the away spin. |
| 30.4 : Al Hasan to K Roach, Shakib drops a sitter in his followthrough! Tossed up ball on middle, Roach chips it straight back to the bowler who lets it through his hands. It goes behind and they cross for a run. Shakib just cannot believe it. |
| 30.5 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Appeal for a catch! Not given. Turn and bounce for Shakib, Dowrich fails to defend and it probably goes off his body to first slip. A diving take there by the fielder but to no avail. |
| 30.6 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Flighted on middle, swept behind square leg for a run. |
| 31.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Flatter and a touch shorter on off, defended off the back foot. |
| 31.2 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Skidding down, Dowrich turns it off his pads through square leg for one. |
| 31.3 : M Hasan to Roach, OUT! Roach holes out! Can't blame him. You don't expect a lot from a lower order batsman when your main batsmen have not shown any application and temperament. Mehidy bowls a loopy one on middle, Kemar tries to slog it across the line but gets a top edge. Liton Das settles underneath it at long on and takes the skier safely. Hasan gets his sixth, can he take 8 just like Yasir did a few days ago? |
| Jomel Warrican is the new man in. |
| 31.4 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Tossed up ball on middle, Shane is on the front foot and defends it. |
| 31.5 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Plays it with the spin and works it behind square leg for a run. |
| 31.6 : M Hasan to Warrican, Turning down the leg side, Warrican lets it go behind to the keeper. |
| 32.1 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Lovely! The carnage continues in Mirpur. Tossed up ball on off, spins away from Dowrich who is ahead to block it. |
| 32.2 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, In line of the Stump, this time Shane gets behind it and bunts it down. |
| 32.3 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Similar ball and similar block by Dowrich. |
| 32.4 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, This one bounces. Around off, curls away with extra bounce. Shane leaves it alone. |
| 32.5 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Around off, Shane guides it towards cover-point. |
| 32.6 : Al Hasan to S Dowrich, Misses his length as he dishes out a short ball down leg, Dowrich pulls it over mid-wicket for a brace. |
| 33.1 : M Hasan to Warrican, Errs it down leg, Warrican tries to flick it way but gets it off his thigh pad fine to fine leg. They take two leg byes. |
| 33.2 : M Hasan to Warrican, Outside off, a lovely late delicate cut from Jomel towards deep backward point for three more runs. |
| 33.3 : M Hasan to Dowrich, On middle and leg, tapped towards the bowler. |
| 33.4 : M Hasan to S Dowrich, FOUR! Short again on middle and leg, Dowrich goes deep inside and pulls it through square leg for a boundary. He has certainly looked solid out there. |
| 33.5 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Fuller this time on middle, driven towards mid on to change strike. |
| 33.6 : M Hasan to Warrican, Outside off, Warrican punches it to mid off. |
| 34.1 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Around off, Dowrich stays back and pushes it back to the bowler. |

| 34.5 : Al Hasan to Warrican, Keeps a bit low on off, Warrican drives it towards mid off. |
| 34.6 : Al Hasan to Warrican, Around off, Jomel survives as he defends this off his back foot. |
| 35.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, On middle, Shane taps it in front of him. |
| 35.2 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Fuller ball outside off, Dowrich driven it crisply through mid off. Naeem chases it, throws himself and saves a run for his side. They've managed to run three. |
| 35.3 : M Hasan to Warrican, The batsman has played it towards mid-wicket. One run added to the total. |
| Review! Have Bangladesh got their man? Dowrich has been given out LBW! Looks out too. Let's have a look. |
| 35.4 : M Hasan to Dowrich, OUT! Dowrich goes and that's the last hope for Windies. Arm ball on off, it comes back into Dowrich who looks to work it away. Gets beaten for spin and the ball goes on to hit his back leg. Bangladesh put in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Dowrich without any doubt takes the review. Replays show us that it would be clipping the leg pole. So the on-field call stays. Windies retain their review but they would have wanted Dowrich more. A gritty innings from the |
| Sherman Lewis is the number 11 batsman. |
| 35.5 : M Hasan to Lewis, Best forward defense by a no. 11. Gets behind the ball and taps it to the off side. |
| 35.6 : M Hasan to Lewis, Around off, well blocked by Lewis. |
| 36.1 : Al Hasan to Warrican, Flatter and on off, Warrican goes back and punches it through wide mid on for a run. |
| 36.2 : Al Hasan to Lewis, Slower through the air, lands it full and outside off, Sherman pushes it towards point off the front foot. |
| Shout for an lbw! Not given and Shakib takes the referral. Height factor? |
| 36.3 : Hasan to Lewis, Safe! Height is indeed a factor. Shakib delivers it with a round-arm action and lets it land around middle and leg. It spins away a bit after hitting the surface and Sherman is squared up in defense. It raps him high on the back leg, they appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Bangladesh take the referral and the replays show that it's going over the stumps. |
| Sherman Lewis is given out lbw this time. He has now referred it. Looks dead in front... |
| 36.4 : Al Hasan to Lewis, OUT! Lewis is plumb in front! All over for Windies, shot out for 111! Shakib cleverly slips in an arm ball around off. Lewis has no idea about the variation. He gets forward in defense, looking out for the away spin but it skids through and hits him on the pads. They appeal and the finger goes up immediately. Sherman takes the DRS, just for the formality. The Ball Tracker shows three reds. |
| Bangladesh have enforced the follow-on! History has been made. This is the first time ever they have done so. A thoroughly dominant show by their spinners. Mehidy Hasan roared with a 7-wicket haul while Shakib Al Hasan claimed a 3-fer. Apart from a fifty partnership between Dowrich and Hetmyer, there was no fight shown by Windies. Badly exposed. No technique. No skill. No temperament. No application. They lacked the main ingredients to succeed in Test cricket. No doubt it was challenging, it was |
| 0.1 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Loopy ball around off, Brathwaite gets low to block it. |
| 0.2 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Outside off, guided to the short third man fielder. |
| 0.3 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Down the leg side, Kraigg looks to work it away but gets it off his pad towards fine leg for one. |
| 0.4 : Al Hasan to Powell, The batsman has played it towards mid-wicket. They pick up a single. |
| 0.5 : Al Hasan to Brathwaite, OUT! Oh dear! Shakib gets his counterpart once again. What is even happening? Fuller arm ball on off, skids inside. Kraigg shuffles across and looks to flick it away. Misses it completely and gets caught in front on his back leg. Shakib appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Brathwaite doesn't even bother reviewing it as he knows he is plumb. Now then, the replays, later on, show us that there might have been a faint inside edge before the ball hitting the pads. H |
| Shai Hope is the number 3 batsman. |
| 0.6 : Al Hasan to Hope, On middle and leg, Hope turns it through mid-wicket to get off the mark. |
| 1.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Full on middle, Hope once again gets it through that mid on region for a run. |
| 1.2 : M Hasan to Powell, Comes down the track and works this to the on side for another run. |
| 1.3 : M Hasan to Hope, The ball strikes the batsman very low on the pads They pick up a single. Leg byes signalled by the umpire. |
| 1.4 : M Hasan to Powell, Outside off, punched off the back foot by Powell towards mid off. |
| 1.5 : M Hasan to K Powell, DROPPED! Loopy ball outside off, Powell comes down the track to block it but gets an outside edge towards the keeper. Rahim fails to collect it. It then rebounds towards the second slip fielder who too cannot hold onto it. Tough chance for him though. |

| 2.1 : Al Hasan to Hope, Fuller ball in line of the stumps, Hope is solid in his defense. |

| 3.3 : M Hasan to Hope, Shortish and on off, defended off the back foot. |
| 3.4 : M Hasan to Hope, Fires one in on middle, it's worked through square leg for a run. |
| 3.5 : Hasan to Powell, Half shout for an lbw! A slider landing around off, Powell is on the front foot in defense but gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 3.6 : M Hasan to Powell, OUT! Stumped! This is inexplicable. Powell decided very early that he will use his feet. Maybe, the last ball was playing in his mind. Maybe, he didn't want to get caught napping inside the crease and get out either bowled or lbw. So, what does he do? He dances down the track even before the bowler has released the ball. All too easy for Mehidy. He bowls it wide outside off, Powell is already down the track and has no other option but to try and play at it. The ball howev |

| 7.5 : M Hasan to Ambris, NOT OUT! More of a formality! Arm ball on off, Ambris prods forward and looks to block this but cannot get close to the ball. Rahim behind takes the bails off and appeals. The umpire takes it up but Sunil manages to get his back leg back in time. |

| 8.1 : Al Hasan to Ambris, On middle, Sunil stays inside and sees this out. |
| 8.2 : Al Hasan to Ambris, Around off, defended to the silly point fielder. |
| 8.3 : Al Hasan to Ambris, Tossed up ball on middle and off, Ambris in no hurry to keep the scoreboard ticking. |
| 8.4 : Al Hasan to Ambris, The ball is down the leg side but Sunil still goes after it. |
| 8.5 : Al Hasan to Ambris, On off, bunted down by Ambris. Windies have improved in their defense but need to apply themselves more. |

| 9.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Given air in line of the stumps, Hope plays it with a straight bat. |

| Taijul Islam comes into the attack. |
| 10.1 : T Islam to Ambris, Flighted delivery, landing full around off, Ambris draws forward in defense. |
| 0.0 : Appeal for an lbw! Up goes the finger. Sunil Ambris wants to review the decision. That looked dead to the naked eye. Only an inside edge can save him... |
| 10.2 : T Islam to Ambris, OUT! Ambris is a sitting duck there. Taijul needed just two balls to strike. He dishes out a well-disguised arm ball. Lands it around off and it skids off the surface. Ambris decides to stay inside the crease and play it across the line. But it stays low and strikes him low on the pads. They appeal and the umpire is in agreement. Ambris takes the help of the technology but nothing can be done there. You cannot be more plumb than this. No inside edge either to save you. W |
| Roston Chase walks in next to bat. |
| 10.3 : T Islam to Chase, What a delivery! Big spin there along with extra bounce. The line is outside off, Chase tries to play inside it and is beaten. |

| 12.3 : Taijul Islam to Chase, Floated and outside off, defended by Chase off the front foot. |
| 12.4 : Taijul Islam to R Chase, OUT! Chase doesn't want to fight either. He's considered to be the best batsman against spinners in this Windies line-up. Disappointing. A tossed up delivery outside off, full in length and turning away. Chase with a sorry footwork goes for a drive and hits it aerially to covers. Mominul takes a good low catch. His front foot never came forward to the pitch of the delivery. Four down already, this is the repeat telecast of last evening. |
| Shimron Hetmyer is the new batsman. |
| 12.5 : Taijul Islam to Hetmyer, Turning down the leg side, Shimron fails to flick and is hit on the pads. A stifled appeal dies down quickly. |
| 12.6 : T Islam to Hetmyer, Appeal for a catch, nothing from the umpire. Spinning down, Hetmyer tries flicking but misses. It goes off his pads to leg slip and they appeal. No wood involved. Shakib was advised not to take the referral. |
| 13.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Long appeal! But nothing from the umpire. Loopy ball on off, good revs on it. Turns too much perhaps. Going down leg as Hope gets hit on the pads. |
| 13.2 : M Hasan to Hope, Driven through mid on by the batsman. One run added to the total. |
| 13.3 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Full and on middle, flicked through mid-wicket for a run. |

| 14.3 : T Islam to Hetmyer, SIX! He hit a maximum early in the morning also! Nice use of the feet by him. Rushes down the track to a full ball and launches it with the spin over long on. Positive intent is good to see. |
| 14.4 : T Islam to Hetmyer, Drops this one on leg and it turns down. Hetmyer tries flicking but misses. They appeal but it's missing leg. |
| 14.5 : T Islam to S Hetmyer, Driven towards the mid on region. The batsmen have run through for a single. |
| 14.6 : T Islam to Hope, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. |

| 15.5 : Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, Flatter one on middle, defended back from the crease. |
| 15.6 : Mahmudullah to S Hetmyer, A long hop outside off, Hetmyer goes chasing after it and cuts it through point for a couple of runs. That will be Lunch on Day 3 and Mehidy Hasan is leading his team off the park. |
| Action-packed morning session! It's Bangladesh, Bangladesh and only Bangladesh. 9 wickets in total fell. Mehidy Hasan was the star and the other spinners also played good supporting roles. Windies didn't put up much fight in the first innings and lost their remaining five wickets in a jiffy. After that, following-on, the script didn't change much. The only thing consistent with Windies at the moment is being consistently poor with the bat. Playing across the line, premeditating a shot, getting c |
| ... Day 3, Session 2 ... |
| Will this be the last session of the match? I won't be surprised. Heads I win, tails you lose. The players walk out to the middle. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer have work to do. Bangladesh will continue their spin therapy with Taijul Islam. |

| 18.3 : T Islam to Hope, Flighted ball on off, played once again to the point region. |
| 18.4 : T Islam to Hope, Gives this air on middle and leg, clipped away towards square leg to change ends. |
| 18.5 : T Islam to Hetmyer, SIX! Hetmyer is not going to stick around. Playing his natural game. Pitched up ball on middle and leg, Hetmyer gets under it and lofts it over mid-wicket for a huge hit. There was a man back there but he could only watch it sail over. |
| 18.6 : T Islam to Hetmyer, SIX! Another biggie! Question is how long can he go like this. Another loopy ball on middle and leg, Hetmyer lofts it over cow corner for half a dozen. |
| 19.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Hope uses his feet and flicks it away through square leg for nothing. |

| Naeem Hasan to bowl for the first time today. |
| 20.1 : N Hasan to Hope, Asks questions straightaway. Lovely loop outside off, Hope looks to block it but misses. Goes past the keeper too towards third man for three bye runs. |

| 21.5 : M Hasan to S Hetmyer, Floated ball outside off, pushed to the cover region. Turning out to be a good period of play for the visitors. |
| 21.6 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Outside off, kept out. Hetmyer looks to be confident. |
| LBW review! After a long chat Shakib decides to review it. What do we have here? |
| 22.1 : N Hasan to Hope, NOT OUT! Off spinner outside off, comes back in. Hope shuffles across and looks to bunt it but gets hit on his pads. The umpire stays put after the players appeal. Shakib decides to take it up after a while. Replays show us that the impact is way outside off. Bangladesh lose a review. Not the best use of the technology. |
| 22.2 : N Hasan to Hope, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. |
| 22.3 : N Hasan to Hope, Down leg, flicked away with a wristy shot to square leg. |
| 22.4 : N Hasan to Hope, OUCH! That must have hurt. Outsdie off, Hope sweeps it hard. Shadman at short leg jumps but the ball hits the back of his ankle. It rebounds there, Rahim behind the stumps is alert and dives to take it but cannot get there in time. Meanwhile, Islam is receiving some treatment here. |
| 22.5 : Hasan to Hope, Loopy ball outside off, Hope charges down to block it but his one hand comes off. It lobs towards short leg again where Shadman takes the catch. The players appeal but nothing from the umpire. No inside edge as replays suggests. |

| 24.3 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Flighted ball, turned to mid-wicket. |

| 25.3 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Gives this air on middle, Shimron bunts it down. |
| 25.4 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Short and outside off, Hetmyer cuts it past point for another single. The rotation of strike has been good so far. |

| 26.2 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Floated ball on off, tapped to the off side. |
| 26.3 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Short and outside off, Shimron reaches for it and cannot get it past point. A rare miss from him. |
| 26.4 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, A bit on the shorter side again. Hetmyer punches it through covers. The fielder there gets a hand to it and stops it. They take two. Hetmyer still has no boundary to his name but 4 sixes. |
| 26.5 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, DROPPED! Closer to the off pole. Too close to cut too. Hetmyer still goes for it. Gets an outside edge towards Rahim. It touches his glove as lobs to Sarkar at first slip who dives forward but couldn't get to it. |
| 26.6 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Not afraid to take on the bowlers, is he? Tries lofting on but does not get the desired result. It goes towards long on and they take two. |
| 27.1 : M Hasan to Hope, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. |
| 27.2 : M Hasan to Hope, Flatter on middle, defended off the back foot to the leg side. |
| 27.3 : M Hasan to Hope, Helps it with the spin to the leg side but finds the square leg fielder. |
| 27.4 : M Hasan to Hope, OUT! Goodness gracious me. Shai Hope did all the hard work and has now thrown his wicket away. Mehidy drops it short around off, Hope gets back inside the crease with the pull shot and doesn't bother to keep it down. Maybe, he just wanted to play it wide of the short mid-wicket fielder. He did that successfully but there is a mid-wicket fielder present too. Shakib moves across to his left and grabs the catch with ease. The partnership which was blossoming is nipped in the |
| Shane Dowrich walks in next. He looked the most assured batsman for Windies in the first innings. A bit strange that he didn't get the promotion in the batting order. Anyway, now it's up to him and Hetmyer yet again. The same pair that started the day's play. |
| 27.5 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Turning down the leg side, Dowrich tries to flick but misses. |
| 27.6 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot. |

| 28.3 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Full and spinning away, Hetmyer drives it through covers for a couple of runs. |
| 28.4 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Tossed up ball on middle, Shimron eases it down through mid off for another run. |
| 28.5 : N Hasan to Dowrich, Gets behind the line of the delivery and pushes it to mid on. |
| 28.6 : N Hasan to Dowrich, The batsman works it down the leg side towards square leg. They pick up a single. 6 from the over, Naeem hasn't found his rhythm yet. |
| 29.1 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Spinning back into the batsman from a shorter length around off, Dowrich moves back and works it through square leg for a run. |
| 29.2 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, Again a shortish delivery, outside off, Shimron cuts it off his back foot through cover-point for one. |
| 29.3 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Loopy and on off, fuller in length, it's defended off the front foot. |
| 29.4 : M Hasan to Dowrich, Allows the ball to spin back in and helps it around the corner. |
| 29.5 : M Hasan to S Dowrich, Strides forward to a full ball and pushes it with the spin to silly mid on. |
| 29.6 : M Hasan to Dowrich, A touch short and on off, Dowrich nicely gets behind the line and blocks it safely. |
| 30.1 : N Hasan to S Hetmyer, Edged but safe! Hasan tosses it up in the air, slower one and lands it full outside off. It breaks away after landing and Hetmyer draws forward to play at it with soft hands. But the ball takes the outside edge and dies in front of Sarkar at first slip. |
| 30.2 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Hetmyer has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. |
| 30.3 : N Hasan to S Hetmyer, Short and outside off, cut through point for a run. |
| 30.4 : N Hasan to Dowrich, Lets the ball spin down the leg side, no need to play at those. |
| 30.5 : N Hasan to Dowrich, Another delivery spinning down the leg side has been left alone by Shane. He is reading Naeem well here. |
| 30.6 : N Hasan to Dowrich, Naeem bowls short around off, Dowrich cuts from the back foot but doesn't time it well. |
| Shakib is back on. |
| 31.1 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, Fullish and on middle, Shimron defends it back off his front foot. |
| 31.2 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, Goes aerially but it's safe. Loopy and around off, Hetmyer chips it over mid off for a run. His intention was to go inside-out over covers and miscues his shot. Lucky that it goes on one bounce to the fielder in the deep. |
| 31.3 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Full and outside off, driven straight to the cover fielder. |
| 31.4 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, This one is quite wide outside off, Shane has nothing to do with it. |
| 31.5 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Loopy one on off, Dowrich strides forward and works it across the line towards square leg. |
| 31.6 : Al Hasan to Dowrich, Short around off, punched from the back foot but straight to the cover fielder. |
| 32.1 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, This one is a little short around off, Hetmyer rocks back and punches it to sweeper cover for a run. Brings up his 4th Test fifty. He has at least offered a fight here. Shimron has got the skills, just need better application. We saw that in India as well. Needs to continue though... |
| 32.2 : N Hasan to Dowrich, OUT! Big blow to Windies. Dowrich is caught at first slip. Naeem serves a flighted delivery around off from 'round the wicket, Shane tries to flick it across the line with the spin but it doesn't spin back in much and takes the outside edge on its way to Soumya Sarkar. A good low catch by him. Into the tail now, Bangladesh. |
| Drinks break. Windies have offered a fight but are still losing wickets at regular intervals. Bangladesh are now just four wickets away from registering a massive innings victory. Devendra Bishoo is the new batsman. |

| 33.1 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, SIX! Hetmyer will keep playing his natural game. Floated full ball around middle and off, Shimron jumps out of the crease and hoists it over long on for a maximum. He has a smile on his face. A mighty blow from his bat. Fifth six for him, hasn't hit a single four in this innings so far. |

| 35.3 : Al Hasan to Hetmyer, SIX! Make that seven! Another slog. Tossed up ball on middle and leg, he slogs it over mid-wicket. This time he doesn't get it well enough but such is the power on those shoulders that it goes well over the ropes. |

| 36.6 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Looks to take the run but cannot. Taps this with soft hands towards point and then refuses the single. He will want to get to his maiden Test ton. |
| Mehidy Hasan is back into the attack. |
| 37.1 : M Hasan to Bishoo, Low full toss on the legs, flicked away through square leg for a brace. |

| 40.1 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Fullish and on off, pushed off the front foot to covers. |
| 40.2 : N Hasan to Hetmyer, Jumps out of the crease and nearly yorks himself. Still does well to force it down towards long on for a run. |
| 40.3 : N Hasan to Bishoo, Slower through the air, it's full and around off, Bishoo pushes it off his front foot to covers. |
| 40.4 : N Hasan to Bishoo, Appeal for an lbw! Not entertained by the umpire. Tossed up ball landing outside off, Bishoo fails to sweep and gets hit on the pads. It deflects down to fine leg and they cross for a couple of leg byes. Not much thought given to use the DRS. Rightly so. |

| 41.4 : M Hasan to D Bishoo, OUT! Great reflex catch at first slip and Mehidy gets his 10-wicket haul in the match. This is the second time he has achieved this feat. Wow. Hasan dishes out a short delivery outside off and seeing that Bishoo goes on the back foot to play the square cut. But it takes the outside edge of his bat and Sarkar hangs on to a sharp catch over his head. In the first innings also, Bishoo tried to cut and was caught brilliantly at silly point. So two great catches to dismiss |

| 43.6 : M Hasan to Roach, FOUR! Another delightful drive from Roach's bat. The length is very full outside off and he crunches his drive through extra cover for a boundary. |

| 44.6 : N Hasan to Roach, Tossed up ball on off, Roach defends it solidly off the front foot. |
| 45.1 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, SIX! Biggie number 9 for Shimron Hetmyer! A flighted full ball around off, Hetmyer makes room, uses his feet and dispatches it over the bowler's head. |
| 45.2 : M Hasan to Hetmyer, OUT! Hetmyer holes out! Once again tries to go downtown and clear the fence but this time he mistimes his shot in the air. Fails to get underneath the ball and it skies up in the air at long off. Mithun makes no mistake in the deep and Mehidy is ecstatic. Points at his skipper, maybe telling him that's why he wanted a fielder there in the deep. Hetmyer departs, 7 runs short of his maiden Test hundred. He should be disappointed but it was an entertaining knock to say the |

Lewis tries to flick but misses and is rapped on the pads. They appeal and the umpire nods before raising his finger. The number 11 reviews it but the Ball Tracker shows three reds. Impact in line and it's hitting middle and leg. Bangladesh can continue with their celebration. Their first ever win by an innings! Historic day. |
| All over in the blink of an eye! Bangladesh have beaten Windies comprehensively to take the Test series 2-0! Dominance, that's the word to describe their performance. Their spinners were relentless and Mehidy Hasan was ruthless. He bagged a 12-wicket haul, his personal best in Tests and starred the day where 15 wickets fell. |
| It was a pretty dismal show by Windies. They didn't benefit much from the Test series in India. Their batsmen lacked the required skill and technique to play spinners and were exposed. Application and temperament, two key characteristics to succeed in Test cricket were also missing. Shimron Hetmyer did show his ability with the bat as he made an attacking 93 while the last pair also sent a message to the top order on how to apply in tough conditions. |
| Everything went according to the plan for Bangladesh. They won an important toss and aimed to bat once by posting a big total. Debutant Shadman Islam, Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan played important roles in taking them to a total over 500. The Windies bowlers, especially the spinners, failed to deliver on a helpful surface and this was also one of the prime reasons for this embarrassing loss for the tourists. Just for the record, this is Bangladesh's first ever Test series win over Windies at |
| Windies' skipper Kraigg Brathwaite says that his bowlers bowled well in this series and that's one of the few positives for them. Praises the batting of Hetmyer and Dowrich (first innings) as well but admits that other batsmen need to show more application. Feels that they didn't get enough partnerships going. States that Test cricket is mentally tough and they have a few FC matches to go before facing England. Mentions that to stay positive is the key and hopes to get better in the ODIs. |
| Player of the Match, Mehidy Hasan is smiling and says that he is delighted to get this award after a long time. States that he received good support from the other end from Shakib and Taijul. He is really happy with the win. Adds that he likes batting and goes on to say that their batsmen set the tone by posting 500-plus on the board which made the job easier for the bowlers. |
| Bangladesh's skipper, Shakib Al Hasan is chosen for the Player of the Series award. Says that this is something he and the coaching staff want from the team. He is thrilled with the overall team effort. Points that every time the batsmen who got in tried to make it count. Praises all the spinners for the way they bowled in this Test match and gives a special mention to Mehidy Hasan. Lauds Naeem Hasan and Shadman Islam as well for showing good composure and he feels that they can do well in the i |
| The Bangladesh players are now posing with the trophy. They are a happy bunch and want to savor this moment of accomplishment. It's also time for us to sign off. We look forward to your company for the first ODI on 9th December at 1400 local (0800 GMT). Until then, it's goodbye and cheers! |
