| 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. End of an excellent partnership and Taijul truly entertained with his stroke play. |

| 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. |
