Catch all the action of the first test between the West Indies and Bangladesh through our live commentary. Preview:

Bangladesh hit record levels all the time while it was shabby. 18.4 bursts at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium – their lowest total test (previously 62 against Sri Lanka in 2007) and the lowest score that Windies rejected any opposition. It was also the smallest total posted by any team since India was overthrown for 42 in 1974. The Windies began their response with patience, seeing the new ball ahead of time. 39, speed up the third session, propelling itself into a dominant position by the end of the first day at 201/2 – a day that Bangladesh will not want to quickly remember. The fast Kemar Roach produced a ferocious fast bowling spell, removing the heart of Bangladesh's battering formation – Tamim Iqbal, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah – on his way to his eighth five-wicket, becoming only the third cricketer alongside Monty Noble (1902) and Jacques Kallis (2002) to take five wickets in the space of 12 balls

The 30-year-old produced amazing figures of 5-1- 8-5 and claimed a counter. all six balls before jostling with a knee injury, leaving Miguel Cummins (3/11) and captain Jason Holder to clean the lower order. Earlier, Jason Holder won the pitch and supported his bowlers, putting Bangladesh on a green and wet wicket. His confidence was rewarded because Roach crossed five wickets in the first hour by attacking both edges of the blade. First of all, Bangladesh's most explosive drummer, Tamim, took an indecisive blow to Dowrich – it was the 10th time Roach had dismissed the opening match of international cricket – before Haque does not enter Shai Hope in the ravine. Rahim and Shakib only had two deliveries each – the old lbw to a shredded ball, the latter heading towards Holder at the first slip. When Mahmudullah scored his first ball behind, Roach got his five-for-and-maybe-the-match, as Windies went around in what could prove to be an unbadailable position in this game. Despite the fact that there was no more wicket, the shape shaped Shannon Gabriel, constantly menacing, was perfect for Roach in the early stages of the attack

when 18/5 became 34/6 – Cummins grabbed Liton Das, who skewed Roston Chase upside down – he represented a useful partnership in the context of the innings. Liton, who scored 25 goals on 53 balls, switched to slog mode and was the only drummer in Bangladesh to double digits – or deal with more than 13 deliveries. Nurul Hasan left before another round was added to get closer to Cummins and sneak up to the grateful Holder, before the Windies grabbed his third – Hasan starting the draw in what was becoming Sleeve story, this time via a rank catch by Devon Smith. Kamrul Islam then found himself behind Holder's bullish performance to qualify at 35/9 before the skipper brought Abu Jayed to remove the staggering Bangladesh for 43 before lunch. At the beginning of the local team's response, Bangladesh bowling players could not match Windies for pace and movement, even though they were pounding the brink sometimes, with Shakib forced to introduce his own tweak after only 14 overs. Windies spinner Devendra Bishoo was not necessary in the first innings. Nurul Hasan was given a chance to settle after Devon Smith scrambled behind the Kamrul Islam bowling before a bad review. The opening match played with more freedom, while Windies went to tea at 90 without loss.

Smith and Kaigg Brathwaite were both in their fifties before the first was fired by Abu Jayad, who accepted his first test. edge to do it 113/1. However, Brathwaite and Kieran Powell continued to plow, as the flows began to flow more freely. The Windies had reached 194 points when Powell left the track half as much as fifty, when Mahmudullah was able to intelligently trick Liton. Bishoo, the night watchman, entered the scrum with two overs remaining, while Brathwaite finished the evening session with a guarantee of 88 of 204 balls, while Windies finished the day with a 158-point lead with eight remaining wickets in their first innings.

116.2 Hasan at J Holder, OUT ! Holder leaves! Mehidy gets his second playing a full volley ball around the middle. Holder advances with great stride and tries to defend. But there is some extra of the surface and he takes hold of Holder's bat. He flies directly into the hands of Liton Das on the short leg that makes no mistake.

Becomes the youngest and fastest for Bangladesh to choose 50 wickets trial. 338/7

116.1 M Hasan to Holder, Almost a catch back! Holder will try to land completely outside, Holder will try to cross the line, but he takes the inner half of the bat and lobes towards the bowler. He tries to catch him on his right but fails to do it neatly. A catch lost in the record books. 338/6

112.1 Hasan to Holder, Delivery in flight landing on the outside of the leg and turning to the outside with an additional rebound. The wearer fails to put the bat to the ball and is hit high on the thigh cushion. A muffled lbw call goes off quickly. 314/6

The drinks break. The best time in the West Indies for Bangladesh. He represented three wickets and their spinners seemed quite lethal. Too late though. Windies has boosted his lead to 271 and with four wickets left, they could change their approach to playing aggressive cricket now. An advance of more than 300 will be their first goal. Let's see what will happen in the next half of this session.

110.3 Al Hasan to Holder, Air but just through the gap. Loopy and around, Holder leans forward and leads him up. Fortunately for him, he crosses the gap to the extra cover. There is a defensive player in the depth and therefore only a race taken. 311/6

Mominul Haque gives him a chase from behind and manages to stop the ball inside the ropes. Three races taken. The stand is worth 21 of 27 balls. 309/6

107.3 M Hasan to Holder, The drummer played that foot before and into the ground. 303/6

107.2 M Hasan to Holder, ALMOST! After this six, Mehedi retains its length. Jason is a bit down the track but he is squared while the ball goes away after throwing. One way or another manages to pbad it to the side of the leg, although obliterally, avoiding the short-legged man. 303/6

107.1 M Hasan to Holder, SIX! It's a nice strike! Finally, someone plays cricket. Full and on the outside, Holder uses his great reach, comes up to the ball and sends sail on mid-wicket! 300 UP FOR THE WINDIES, taking the lead at 260. The stand is worth 15 from 16 balls. Holder himself scored 12 of these. 303/6

Jason Holder arrives at number 8 to replace Dowrich

104.3 Al Hasan at Dowrich, OUT! It's a fantastic catch! Boy, the spinners are partying now. Shakib has his second. He launches this one out and Dowrich takes a long walk to defend. Now, with the naked eye, it seems like the ball bounced and went to stupid point. But the bowler and the field player are inflated and confident and the two referees discuss. After a long conversation, the decision is referred to the floor but the signal did not come out. Now here are the replays. At least for us, the first angle itself is very clear. The ball comes out of the bat, directly on the boot, then to a stupid point where Liton Das plunges to his right and takes it with one hand! Several views are seen and finally, the third referee is convinced. Dowrich returns shaking his head. The hosts lost 17/3 in 8.3 after lunch. 288/6

Howzzat? Well, Bangladesh seems confident about something. Shakib believes that Dowrich was caught stupid. The soft signal did not come out anyway …

100.3 Al Hasan at Dowrich, S extends wider out, left alone. 286/5

99.6 M Hasan to Dowrich, FOUR! Shot of a drummer in top form. Dowrich is nicely ahead of a full bale on the outside and thrusts it sharply across the covers for a limit. 285/5

Shane Dowrich is the new drummer

99.5 Hasan to Chase, OUT! Trapped in front! The ordinary form of Chase's form continues. Mehidy delivers a flying ball in the middle and he skates with the angle more than turning and changing direction. Chase hangs on the back foot to play but misses and is hit on the back cushion. They appeal and the umpire has no reason not to lift a finger. He was rather dead in front of and did not even think about going over. A good phase of play for Bangladesh but overall they are behind 238 points. 281/5

99.4 M Hasan to Chase, another flatter and faster delivery that lands in the middle and slips down, Chase tries to get rid of it but misses it. Take a blow on his thigh. 281/4

99.2 M Hasan at Chase, In the air … just above the short leg. Additional rebound for Hasan. A spinner offside, Chase leans forward to defend himself but he takes off from the surface to take his gloves. He then turns on Mominul and falls safely. 281/4

99.1 M Hasan to Chase, Ball in the air, defended. 281/4

98.6 Al Hasan in Hope, pushes forward and pushes everything while turning the covers. Bowling organized by the skipper. 281/4

98.5 Al Hasan in the hope, Loopy on off, defended from the front foot. 281/4

98.4 Al Hasan in the hope, defended him by placing himself behind the line of delivery. 281/4

98.3 Al Hasan in hope, Takes a length ahead of a full ball and returns it to the bowling player. 281/4

98.2 Al Hasan at Hope, Flighted and Off, defended from the front foot. 281/4

98.1 Al Hasan chase, wears himself forward and removes his leggings from the side of the leg for a run. 281/4

97.6 M Hasan in Hope, defended from the front foot by the drummer presenting the entire face of the bat. 280/4

97.5 Hasan in the hope, safe! As expected, the impact is external. A nicely pitched delivery around, Chase with the minimum front foot movement is trying to defend. But he expects the ball to return to normal, which is not the case and continues to face the inside of the fold. He then hits him on the back mat and pbades the first outfielder for a limit. The referee is gearing up to score for both races or leg lanes, but Bangladesh has chosen to look at it before even. The third referee confirms that there was no inside edge as indicated by the Ultra Edge. After that, the Ball Tracker puts everything in rest by confirming the impact on the outside. Visitors have now exhausted all their criticism. 280/4

Time for the DRS! Bangladesh has reviewed a decision on the number of books. The impact seems outward, let's see …

97.4 Hasan M to Hope, Poor length by Hasan. Fléchettes dans une courte et large livraison à l'extérieur, Chase le fait glisser de son pied arrière à des couvertures où le voltigeur ne plonge que pour prendre le pas sur le ballon. Un couple pris. 276/4

97.3 M Hasan à R Chase, Bols celui-ci dans la trajectoire plus plate, autour de et dérapage à travers, Chase avance et le pousse avec une chauve-souris inclinée vers l'arrière pour une course. Il est hors de la marque maintenant. 274/4

97.2 M Hasan à Chase, Volé et complet, Chase se fend et le défend avec vigilance. 273/4

97.1 M Hasan à Hope, plus plat et plus court, il est joué depuis le creux jusqu'à la pointe. 273/4

96.6 Al Hasan à Chase, Loopy et dehors, Chase le quitte avec attention. 272/4

96.5 Al Hasan à la poursuite, ballon flottant au large, bloqué du pied avant. 272/4

Roston Chase est le nouveau batteur

96.4 Al Hasan à Brathwaite, OUT! Shakib a fait le tour! Rien de génial avec la livraison, c'est un volé et large à l'extérieur, Brathwaite tend la main pour cela et le pbade à travers la ligne. Ne parvient pas à le garder au sol et Mehidy aux couvertures prend une prise forte tumbling. Quelque chose pour encourager le Bangladesh immédiatement après la pause. Fin d'un coup remarquable par Brathwaite. Probablement, les hôtes voulaient qu'il soit agressif dans cette session sinon Kraigg laisse ce type de livraisons. Les Windies mènent à 229 points! 272/4

96.3 Al Hasan à Brathwaite, Un atterrissage à vol d'oiseau tout autour, Kraigg le défend de son pied avant. 272/3

96.2 Al Hasan à Espoir, Rebondi de nouveau, c'est plein et autour de la jambe, Hope fait de la place et l'enfonce pour en faire un long. 272/3

96.1 Al Hasan à l'espoir, Commence avec un ballon plein volé au milieu, il a été repoussé directement au joueur de bowling. 271/3

Bienvenue à nouveau. Les joueurs sont également de retour sur le terrain. Le Bangladesh continue de rester à la traîne dans ce match. D'abord leurs batteurs les ont laissés tomber hier et après que leur bowling ait été apathique. Ils semblent sous-préparés pour dire le moins. Peuvent-ils faire un peu de magie avec la balle dans la session de l'après-midi? Only time will tell. Shakib a pris la responsabilité de faire quelque chose. Il commence la procédure avec Shai Hope en grève …

… Jour 2, deuxième session …

Mis à part quelques livraisons étranges, le bowling du Bangladesh semblait plat. Leurs quilleurs ont refusé de coller à une ligne ou à une longueur et de créer une pression. C'était un cas curieux d'essayer trop de variétés qui finalement n'ont posé aucun problème aux batteurs. Voyons voir s'ils s'améliorent dans la session de l'après-midi. Joignez-vous à nous dans un court laps de temps.

Kraigg Brathwaite a marqué son siècle et c'était le point culminant de la session. Il a marqué 33 points aujourd'hui et s'est attaqué à son activité d'une manière normale, ce qui bloque, bloque et frappe s'il y a une opportunité. Bien qu'il soit apparu qu'il ait perdu son timing après la prise du deuxième nouveau ballon, il a également survécu à une chute. Pourtant, il s'est battu dur et est encore au milieu d'un autre partenariat dans cette manche, qui vaut 25 pour le moment.

70/1 dans la matinée. Windies a prolongé son avance à 228 points et se pbade bien. Le seul guichet à tomber aujourd'hui était du veilleur de nuit Devendra Bishoo mais cela aussi est arrivé après beaucoup de grind. The leggie frustrated the Bangla Tigers for 79 deliveries which also is the third most balls he faced in an innings. All this we're telling you to know the extent of the blunt Bangladesh bowling attack.

95.6 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Very full and on off, it's pushed back to the bowler. With that, it's time for LUNCH on Day 2. 271/3

95.5 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Tossed up and wide outside off again, Kraigg watches the line before leaving it alone. 271/3

95.4 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Flighted one wide outside off, left alone. 271/3

95.3 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Quicker and flatter but too wide outside off to trouble the batsman. 271/3

95.2 M Hasan to K Brathwaite, A shortish one, wide outside off, spinning in a bit, Brathwaite hangs back and punches it towards mid on. 271/3

95.1 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Flighted full ball on off, defended off the front foot to the leg side. 271/3

Mehidy Hasan is into the attack now.

94.6 R Hossain to Hope, Hope has played that off the front foot and into the ground. 271/3

94.5 R Hossain to Hope, Stays back to a length ball and punches it on the off side. 271/3

94.4 R Hossain to S Hope, FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished. However, Shai wasn't in much control. Rubel bangs in a short ball wide outside off, Hope slashes at it and edges it down to third man for a boundary. 271/3

94.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Hossain goes full and serves it outside off, Brathwaite goes hard at it, trying to drive but it takes the inner half of the bat and rolls towards mid on for a run. Timing has been eluding him since the time Bangladesh have opted for the second new ball. 267/3

94.2 R Hossain to Brathwaite, That's more like it. A well-directed bouncer this time. Kraigg is taken aback as he sways away from the line of fire at the last moment. Didn't take his gloves down and it wasn't too far away from kissing it. Bad technique. 266/3

94.1 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Effort ball but directionless. A bouncer outside off is just a waste of energy. An easy leave for the batsman. 266/3

93.6 K Islam to Hope, Another back foot punch by Shai and he finds the gap at covers for a brace. 266/3

93.5 K Islam to Hope, Pitches it up and around off, it's defended off the front foot to the off side. 264/3

93.4 K Islam to Brathwaite, Back of a length ball on off, punched wide of mid off for a run. 264/3

93.3 K Islam to Brathwaite, Extra bounce from a good length outside off, Brathwaite leaves it at the last moment. 263/3

93.2 K Islam to Brathwaite, Solid! Kraigg has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. 263/3

93.1 K Islam to Brathwaite, Shortish and wide outside off, Brathwaite holds his ground and runs it down to third man. Mahmudullah charges towards the ball but then takes his eyes off it while trying to pick it. The batsmen pinch the second run. 263/3

92.6 R Hossain to Hope, Defended off the back foot by the batsman. 261/3

92.5 R Hossain to Hope, Fullish by Hossain, good thinking, tries to move it in from there and catch Shai off guard. But the Windies number 5 is equal to the task as he defends it by getting forward. 261/3

92.4 R Hossain to Hope, That one took off! Hossain drops it on a back of a length around off and it kicks off from there… Hope nearly gets into a tangle but eventually withdraws his bat. 261/3

92.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Back of a length ball on off, Brathwaite gets behind the line and plays it out to mid-wicket. 261/3

92.2 R Hossain to Brathwaite, With just a few spectators in the ground, the grunt of Rubel can be heard crystal clear as he delivers a bouncer. Brathwaite sways away from the line. 260/3

92.1 R Hossain to K Brathwaite, Bangs in a short ball on off, Kraigg takes on the challenge to pull it and does so off his front foot. Has not timed it well but it goes safely over mid-wicket for a couple. 260/3

A short leg in place as Rubel speeds in…

91.6 K Islam to Hope, A full swinging delivery, around off, Hope pushes it back to the bowler who picks it up and throws at the striker's end. Doesn't hit the stumps and the keeper collects. Shai gives a look to Kamrul. 258/3

91.5 K Islam to Brathwaite, Fractionally short in length and outside off, Kraigg hits it square of the wicket on the off side for a run. 258/3

91.4 K Islam to Brathwaite, Bouncer! The batsman ducks in time to let that one go over him. 257/3

91.3 K Islam to Brathwaite, Around off, straightening a bit, Brathwaite defends it tentatively off the back foot. 257/3

91.2 K Islam to Brathwaite, Angling into the batsman, on a length, Brathwaite is early into the shot and as a result it comes from the higher half of the bat. Lobs in the air but doesn't carry to mid on. 257/3

91.1 K Islam to Brathwaite, The slinging action of Kamrul delivers a full ball around off, Brathwaite leans forward in defense. 257/3

90.6 R Hossain to Hope, Good length delivery targeting the off stump, Hope defends it off his back foot. 257/3

90.5 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Straighter in line this time, on middle, Kraigg punches it wide of mid on and crosses. 257/3

90.4 R Hossain to Hope, A back foot punch by Hope as Rubel bowls it short. A single taken as the ball travels to sweeper cover. With the new nut, that's not the ideal length to bowl. 256/3

90.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Rubel remains on the shorter side and bowls it wide outside off, Kraigg cuts it square of the wicket on the off side and picks up a single. 255/3

90.2 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Once again the length is on the shorter side around off but this time it stays low, Brathwaite does well to keep it out safely on the off side. 254/3

90.1 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Starts his spell with a shortish ball around off, Brathwaite punches it out from the crease to mid on. The leg gully remains in place as they continue to work on that plan. Will Kraigg err again? 254/3

Rubel Hossain is back on.

89.6 K Islam to Brathwaite, Short and outside off, cut away to deep point for a run. 254/3

89.5 K Islam to Brathwaite, WHOA! It has taken them around 80 overs but finally Bangladesh have decided to bowl aggressively. A sharp bouncer, around off, Brathwaite looks to fend but the ball rises alarmingly and hits the top half of the blade. Lands in front of the batsmen himself. No short leg, sadly. 253/3

89.4 K Islam to Brathwaite, Taps this towards mid on. 253/3

89.3 K Islam to S Hope, Lovely delivery. Very, very full, around off, nipping in, Shai plays that excellently as well. Clips it wide of mid on where the fielder dives to his right and avoids more than a single. 253/3

89.2 K Islam to Hope, Outside off, quietly left alone this time. 252/3

Second slip comes in place now.

89.1 K Islam to Hope, That is a jaffa. Kamrul pitches it on a length outside off and Hope gets back to defend. But the ball then pitches on a patch of grbad and shapes away to beat the outside edge. 252/3

88.6 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Outside off, left alone. 252/3

88.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, The batsman picked that bouncer early and let it through to the keeper. 252/3

88.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Full and outside off, pushed towards cover. 252/3

88.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, DROPPED! Very, very tough chance but at that position, you rarely get easy ones. A straightish ball from Jayed but that was a plan. Brathwaite seemed to be getting sucked right into it as he walked across and tickled it fine. But he did not realize that Bangladesh had kept a man at leg gully for that shot. The ball flew uppishly towards Liton Das in that position who dived forward. But unfortunately for him, the ball died down and brushed his fingers before going down. 252/3

88.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Fuller and around off, better play this time. Pushed towards mid on. 252/3

88.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, That swings in a long way. Brathwaite is squared up and just about gets his bat down in time to avoid getting LBW or bowled. 252/3

87.6 K Islam to Hope, The batsman has driven it through mid on. 252/3

87.5 K Islam to Hope, Full and around off, SH looks to flick but the ball goes off the inner half through mid-wicket. Two runs taken. 252/3

87.4 K Islam to Hope, FOUR! SUBLIME! Clbady is the word one badociates with Shai Hope. Islam bowls this on a length and it comes back in. Shai keeps a high elbow, shows the full face of the bat and drives it straight down the ground past the non-striker. Abu Jayed gives it a chase from mid on but in vain. 250 UP FOR THE WINDIES – the lead now moves to 207. 250/3

87.3 K Islam to Hope, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. 246/3

87.2 K Islam to Hope, Full and around off, watchfully blocked out. 246/3

87.1 K Islam to Hope, On a length around off, watchfully pushed to the off side. 246/3

86.6 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Outside off, left alone. 246/3

86.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Increase in the sharpness of the bouncer, Kraigg has to duck in a hurry this time. 246/3

86.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, A sharp bouncer, around middle, Brathwaite ducks. 246/3

86.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Outside off, played straight to point. 246/3

86.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Fuller on middle, pushed towards mid on. 246/3

86.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, On a good length around off, watchfully defended. 246/3

85.6 K Islam to Hope, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot. 246/3

Shai Hope comes in now at number 5, replacing Bishoo.

85.5 Islam to D Bishoo, OUT! Timberrrrr!!!! Probably the best ball bowled by Bangladesh in this innings. This is just short of the fuller length and it hits a patch of green grbad. Once it does, the ball shoots through. Bishoo is comprehensively beaten by pace and the ball just knocks the off stump out of the ground. A welcome wicket for the visiting side. The frustrating 52-run stand is broken and Bishoo's 79-ball vigil ends at last. 246/3

85.4 K Islam to Bishoo, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot. 246/2

85.3 K Islam to Brathwaite, On middle and off, Brathwaite works it across the line through mid-wicket for a single. 246/2

85.2 K Islam to Brathwaite, Full and outside off, pushed straight to cover. 245/2

85.1 K Islam to Brathwaite, Around off, defended from the crease. 245/2

Kamrul Islam gets a chance to bowl with the second new ball now.

Hmm…. the replays show the bowler landing on the danger area.

84.6 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, On middle, pushed towards mid on. 245/2

84.5 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Full and wide outside off, driven through cover and point for a couple. The 50-run stand comes up with that. Hat-trick of 50-run stands. 245/2

84.4 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, The batsman defends it from within the crease. 243/2

84.3 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Slips this way down the leg side, Bishoo misses his flick and the keeper does really well to dive to his right and stop it. 243/2

Ummm… something happening… Richard Kettleborough walks down the track and has a look at where Jayed landed his foot. Nothing dangerous as of now. Perhaps a word – not even a warning.

84.2 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Pushes this back to the bowler. 243/2

84.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, On middle and leg, tucked through square leg for a single. 243/2

DRINKS BREAK. Nothing happening for Bangladesh. Nothing happening for Bangladesh. Nothing happening for Bangladesh. Nothing happening in this Test. Nothing happening in this Test. No, I have not gone bonkers. There is literally nothing to write in this game. Just that one moment where one might argue Shakib could have taken the review. Other than that, on a pitch which seems to be offering nothing, the bowlers have not asked any questions. Help yourself mode for the home side.

83.6 R Hossain to Bishoo, A rare bouncer, testing the batsman, Devendra ducks, swaying away from the line. 242/2

83.5 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Driven towards the mid on region. They pick up a single. 242/2

83.4 R Hossain to Bishoo, Full and outside off, pushed through the covers for a run. 241/2

83.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, A bit too straight, Brathwaite works it through square leg for a single. 240/2

83.2 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Around off again, pushed from the crease towards cover. 239/2

83.1 R Hossain to Brathwaite, On a length outside off, pushed towards the off side. 239/2

82.6 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, A teasing half volley outside off, Bishoo goes after it, looks to drive but finds short extra cover. 239/2

82.5 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Landed outside off, going away, calmly left alone. 239/2

82.4 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Around off and outside off, watchfully blocked out. 239/2

82.3 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Full and just around off, watchfully blocked out. 239/2

82.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Pushes this down the ground past mid off for a run. 239/2

82.1 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Down the leg side, helped through square leg for a single. 238/2

81.6 R Hossain to Brathwaite, FOUR! Nicely done. Outside off, calmly run down to third man for a boundary. 10 from the over. The stand is worth 43 now. 237/2

81.6 R Hossain to Brathwaite, NO BALL. First of the match. A full toss on leg stump, flicked towards square leg. 233/2

81.5 Hossain to Brathwaite, Yorker around off, pushed back down the ground. 232/2

81.4 R Hossain to Bishoo, Tucks this one now behind the corner on the leg side for a run. 232/2

81.3 R Hossain to Bishoo, FOUR LEG BYES! Down the leg side, Bishoo misses his tickle but the ball does not miss his pads. Runs away merrily off the deflection past the keeper to the fine leg fence. 231/2

81.2 R Hossain to D Bishoo, A full toss, Devendra does not expect it and pushes it down the ground, a bit late. He starts to run but then short extra cover gets around quickly and stops the ball. 227/2

81.1 Hossain to Bishoo, Huge shout for LBW. Turned down. Seemed to be pitching outside leg. On a length, coming back in, Bishoo stayed back to flick but missed and was hit on the pads. Rubel screamed his lungs out but the umpire said no. Dear me – HAWK EYE SHOWS IT TO BE PITCHING IN LINE AND HITTING THE LEG STUMP! Well, if it is not going for you, it is certainly not going for you. Cannot really blame Shakib for not taking the review. That looked to be pitching outside leg. 227/2

Rubel Hossain to share the second new cherry with Jayed.

80.6 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Around off, pushed towards cover. 227/2

80.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, The batsman has driven that ball straight back. 227/2

80.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Full and outside off, Brathwaite reaches out and drives it towards mid off. 227/2

80.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Outside off, a touch wide, left alone. 227/2

80.2 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Not good from Bangladesh again. Jayed bowls this on a length around off and Bishoo just pushes it towards mid off. No one attacks the ball and Devendra calls for a quick single. 227/2

A change in the field now. Deep backward square leg and a short forward square leg in place.

80.1 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, FOUR! Lovely for the batsman. New cherry and on the pads. Half volley. Far too easy for a night watchman even if he has not slept for the whole night. Bishoo flicks it to the square leg fence. The stand is worth 32 now. 226/2

Joel Wilson is on the field, the fourth umpire. He hands over the new cherry to Richard Kettleborough. Bangladesh are taking it straightaway. Rightly so. Abu Jayed, the debutant, to make use of the new nut first.

79.6 Al Hasan to D Bishoo, Driven through mid on by the batsman. They pick up a single. 222/2

79.5 Al Hasan to Bishoo, A loopy one on off, fuller in length, Bishoo lunges and defends it near his front pad. 221/2

79.4 Al Hasan to Bishoo, Fires one in around off, defended from the back foot. 221/2

79.3 Al Hasan to Bishoo, Gets back to work it with the spin to the leg side. 221/2

79.2 Al Hasan to Bishoo, FOUR! Nice shot! Shakib tosses this one and lands it full around off, Bishoo spots the chance for a slog sweep and does so with the spin over mid-wicket. Decent enough connection to reach the fence. 221/2

79.1 Al Hasan to Bishoo, Flatter on off at 86 kph, Bishoo stays on the back foot in defense. 217/2

Shakib Al Hasan is in action now.

78.6 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Tossed up ball on off, defended off the front foot to the off side. 217/2

77.2 K Islam to Brathwaite, Angles in a full ball on off, Brathwaite defends it solidly. 216/2

77.1 K Islam to K Brathwaite, FOUR! Not in entire control of the shot but he reaches his milestone nonetheless with a boundary. Short in length and wide outside off, Kraigg flashes his bat through the line and it flies off the outside edge to the third man fence. 7th Test hundred for Brathwaite and it has come after almost a year. Fine gritty knock by the opener and he should be aiming for a daddy hundred here with Bangladesh not bowling too well. 216/2

76.6 Mahmudullah to Bishoo, Flighted one and on off, DB defends it off his front foot. 212/2

76.5 Mahmudullah to Bishoo, Slower again but this time the length is short and wide outside off, Bishoo cracks his square cut but finds the point fielder. 212/2

76.2 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Flatter and shorter outside off, Kraigg gets deep inside the crease and punches it back past the bowler for a single. It came after 21 balls for Windies. Good pressure bowling by Bangladesh. 212/2

76.1 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Floated full ball on off, Brathwaite lunges and defends it back. 211/2

75.6 K Islam to Bishoo, Digs in a bouncer around leg, Bishoo ducks with ease. Islam needs to get consistent with his line and probe around off. Continuous change of length and line won't help him much. 211/2

75.5 K Islam to Bishoo, Too full this time on off, Bishoo digs it out towards extra cover. 211/2

75.4 K Islam to Bishoo, Another flowing cover drive from the bat of Bishoo but he finds the fielder. 211/2

75.3 K Islam to Bishoo, An overpitched delivery this time, outside off, Bishoo plays a confident drive off the front foot to widish mid off. 211/2

75.1 K Islam to Bishoo, Good length delivery on off, Bishoo remains stationary inside the crease as he blocks it to the off side. 211/2

73.5 K Islam to Bishoo, Angles in a length ball from around off, Bishoo defends it with gentle hands once again. Not quite from the middle of the blade. 211/2

73.4 K Islam to Bishoo, In line of the stumps this time, Bishoo sticks to his crease and defends it back stubbornly. 211/2

73.3 K Islam to Bishoo, Bouncer again, around off, slower in pace as well. An easy duck for Devendra. 211/2

73.2 K Islam to Bishoo, Full and angling away from the batsman, Bishoo pushes at it with gentle hands. It goes off the outer half of the bat to backward point. 211/2

73.1 K Islam to Bishoo, Bouncer around middle and leg, Bishoo ducks underneath it. 211/2

72.6 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Helps it off his pads to mid-wicket to end the over. 211/2

72.2 Mahmudullah to Bishoo, A slider around off, Bishoo strides forward to defend it on the off side. 210/2

72.1 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, A bit on the shorter side around off, Brathwaite easily works it in the gap at mid-wicket for a run. Moves to 96! 210/2

71.6 K Islam to Bishoo, Switches to 'round the wicket and angles in a length ball on off. Bishoo stays back inside the crease to play it out but does so from the bottom half of the bat. It goes on one bounce to the keeper who dives across to his left to collect the ball. A maiden. 209/2

71.5 K Islam to Bishoo, Stays low this time as Kamrul bowls it wide outside off. The batsman has nothing to do with it and the keeper collects it with little discomfort. 209/2

71.4 K Islam to Bishoo, Lands it on a fuller length again, just outside off, Bishoo defends it watchfully to the off side. 209/2

71.3 K Islam to D Bishoo, Pitches it up and around off, Bishoo gets forward and drives it through the line. Straight to the cover fielder though. 209/2

69.5 K Islam to Bishoo, Width on offer outside off, shortish in length, this time Bishoo cuts it from the crease but once again finds the fielder at point. A bit edgy and it falls in front of the fielder. 207/2

69.4 K Islam to Bishoo, Identical to the last delivery, once again Bishoo remains inside the crease and taps it down to point. 207/2

69.3 K Islam to Bishoo, Angling away from the nightwatchman, on a length and skidding away, Bishoo just brings his bat down in time to keep it out towards the cover region. 207/2

69.2 K Islam to Brathwaite, Back of a length delivery on off, Brathwaite punches it off his back foot through cover-point. There is now a fielder in the deep and hence only a run this time. 207/2

69.1 K Islam to K Brathwaite, FOUR! Starts with a gentle loosener. Short and wide outside off, Brathwaite attacks it with all his might and slaps it past the left side of the backward point fielder for a boundary. Into the 90s now. 206/2

Kamrul Islam to operate from the other end. A slip and gully in place.

Out come the players! It will be Mahmudullah to continue proceedings. Kraigg Brathwaite is the one on strike, 12 away from his century. All set then, here we go…

Pitch report – Jeff Dujon is inspecting the playing area. Starts by saying that once the early moisture came out of the pitch yesterday, it became good for batting. Adds that if you look at the pitch now, there is still a little bit of grbad but there are no cracks and it's really hard and nice for batting.

Danny Morrison catches up with Miguel Cummins for a little interview. The young pacer says that he has been working hard with the bowling coach Corey Collymore. Adds that they are working on the no-ball issues with penalties from the coach. Also states that he was a bit short in the last series, worked hard in the nets and got the perfect length for this pitch. Feels that they need to bat long and then pick up the 10 wickets.

A 10-wicket bonanza in the first session followed by just two in the next couple of sessions – That was the story of Day 1 of the first Test match between Windies and Bangladesh in North Sound, Antigua. It was a K-series not directed or produced by Ekta Kapoor. Kemar Roach and Kraigg Brathwaite were the stars with the former blowing away the visitors and the latter forcing them to submission with a gritty knock. Can the Asian team show some fight today or will it be once again a one-way traffic? Hello and welcome everyone for the coverage and stay with us for all the updates…

…Day 2, first session…

So, the Windies are in a position of immense strength (leading by 158 runs), one from which it will be difficult to displace them. In order to do that, the Bangladeshi bowlers need to get on top of their game. Seems bleak at the moment but you never know. The moisture in the morning might badist the pacers and they might rule the roost. Join us on Thursday at 1000 Local (1400 GMT) to catch all the action. Till then, cheers!

The Man of the Moment says that the bowling coach, Corey Collymore has done a great job with them. Mentions that things worked out well for him and he is really happy to get a 5-wicket haul. States that he made good use of the different angles on the crease and tried to make the batsmen play as much as possible. Informs that one of his mates, Alzarri Joseph is from Antigua and he gave him some good tips on how to go about on this track. Opines that the breeze might have helped him as it was a hot day. Adds that he takes an ice bath always after the game irrespective of what happens. Feels that his right leg is much better now and he is confident about bowling in the second innings.

The pitch did have plenty in it for the pacers. The Windies bowlers exploited it to the maximum but the visitors failed to extract the same. Debutant Abu Jayed though looked promising whenever he had the ball in his hand. Danny Morrison is interviewing Kemar Roach at the moment, let's see what the star bowler has to say…

Now, let's talk about Kemar Roach. In the morning session, he ran riot with the new ball and before anyone realized, he had five wickets in the bag. To be precise, he took only 29 balls to derail Bangladesh completely and the rest of the work was done by the pair of Cummins and Holder. The impact of that lethal spell by Roach was so much that the visitors experienced their all-time low as they got bundled out for only 43, their lowest-ever total in Tests.

After toiling hard for 243 balls, Abu Jayed finally produced the first breakthrough when he got Devon Smith caught behind (he was dropped on 34 once). The visitors, however, failed to capitalize as another useful stand followed between Powell and Brathwaite. When the regular spinners struggled to trouble the Windies batsmen, the part-timer Mahmudullah was handed the ball and he struck gold by dismissing Powell minutes before Stumps. Overall, it's been a dismal bowling show by Bangladesh thus far and they will have to bounce back on Day 2 to avoid getting too much behind in this game, if they aren't already.

111/2 in 36 overs bowled in the evening session. The home side certainly picked up its scoring rate after a snail-paced post Lunch session. Their openers were involved in a century partnership which also happened to be the first one after 62 long innings for the Windies. Both Kraigg Brathwaite and Devon Smith made full use of the toothless bowling attack of Bangladesh and scored their respective fifties.

67.6 Abu Jayed to Bishoo, Switches to 'round the wicket and angles in a full ball outside off, Bishoo reaches out for it and defends it to the off side. With that, the umpire takes the bails off to signal the end of Day 1. Stumps. 201/2

67.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Tailing down the leg side again, Kraigg helps it off his pads to fine leg for a run. 201/2

67.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, FOUR! Lovely inswinging delivery, curling back into the batsman from outside off, Brathwaite is equal to the task as he flicks it in spite of falling over to the off side. Times his shot superbly as it races past the fielder in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. A lazy dive there by the fielder, should have done better. 200/2

67.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Goes full and around off, Brathwaite flicks it off his pads to mid-wicket. 196/2

Devendra Bishoo is the nightwatchman with 29 balls more left in the day's play.

64.1 Mahmudullah to Powell, OUT! Extra bounce has brought Powell's downfall! The punt to bowl Mahmudullah has worked for Bangladesh. He serves it from 'round the wicket and lands it around off. Not much spin there but it shoots off from the surface. Powell tries defending it by getting forward but it takes the shoulder of his bat and flies behind. The keeper fails to catch it but Liton Das is well aware of the situation while standing at first slip. In spite of the fact that his initial movement was to his left, he recovers quickly and throws himself to his right to take a stupendous catch. They appeal and the umpire after watching very closely that the catch was safely taken, raises his finger. Powell misses out on his fifty and returns to the pavilion dejected. Windies lead by 151 runs. 194/2

63.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Skidding back into the batsman from around off, KB is on the back foot in defense. 194/1

62.3 Mahmudullah to Powell, Turns it off his pads but not in the gap on the leg side. 188/1

62.2 Mahmudullah to Powell, A jubilant keeper collects the ball and goes up in a cheerful appeal. The umpire says nothing doing. It's once again sliding down the leg side to which Powell doesn't even offer a proper shot. It clips his pads and goes behind. Nurul does well to collect the ball but his appeal is short-lived as there was no wood involved. 188/1

62.1 Mahmudullah to Powell, Sliding down the leg side, Powell tries to sweep but misses. A good take by Nurul. 188/1

61.3 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Dropped! Another chance goes down begging in the field. A flighted ball landing full and wide outside off, Brathwaite with a little shimmy down the track tries to heave it over the leg side but fails to middle it properly. He ends up dragging it wide of mid on where Rahim attempts to catch it with a dive but shells it eventually. It rolls behind and they take a couple of runs. Seems Kraigg is eyeing a century today itself. Otherwise we don't see him so aggressive in his approach. 188/1

61.2 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Flatter arm ball around off, defended off the back foot. 186/1

61.1 Al Hasan to Powell, Turning back into the batsman from around off, Powell goes back and punches it down to deepish mid off for a single. 186/1

59.1 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Tossed up ball around off, Kraigg is on the front foot as he defends it to the off side. 178/1

58.1 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Appeal for an lbw! The umpire remains still. Flighted full ball landing around off and spinning in, Brathwaite tries to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. Not sure why the appeal was turned down. Maybe, spin and bounce were too much there. 177/1

56.2 M Hasan to Powell, Hasan nearly got the better of Powell. He sensed the charge from him and hence bowled it quicker and flatter down the leg side. Powell who was down the track just managed to pad it out. Smart from the bowler. 174/1

56.1 M Hasan to Powell, Quicker one, skidding down, Powell helps it behind square leg and picks up a couple of runs. 174/1

55.6 K Islam to Brathwaite, Lands it on a length and around off, Brathwaite leans forward to defend it with firm hands. On the point of contact the bat turns a bit and he pushes it towards the leg side. 172/1

55.5 K Islam to Brathwaite, FOUR! An attempted yorker gone all wrong. It ends up being a juicy full toss on middle and Kraigg clips it beautifully off his pads through mid-wicket for a boundary. 172/1

Mominul quickly moves back to pick up the ball and then has a wayward shy at the keeper's end. Nurul tries to collect the ball as Powell dives inside the crease to save himself. No need to take such risks. 162/1

47.2 M Hasan to Powell, Not Out! Yes, the inside edge saves him! Drifting in from outside off, Powell comes ahead a touch and tries to block it but seems to have missed it to get pinged on the pads. The visitors roar in unison and the umpire obliges on this occasion. However, Kieran signals the 'T' in a jiffy. Walks across to his partner to indicate there is an inside edge. Let's find out. Well, the Snicko detects a big nick. Good use of the review. 136/1

42.2 Abu Jayed to Powell, Is the two-paced nature of the track on display? Or is it due to the shorter height and the slinging actions of the Bangladeshi bowlers as compared to the opposition? On a length outside off, stays low as Powell is beaten due to the lack of bounce. 123/1

42.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Fullish ball, swinging in, tucked through mid-wicket for a run. 123/1

Kieran Powell comes out to bat.

40.4 Abu Jayed to Smith, OUT! Finally, finally, Bangladesh have been successful in breaching through! Jubilation for the debutant as he gets his first Test wicket. He steams in from over the wicket and bowls a good length ball angling across from Smith. To be honest, there is nothing special about the delivery. The shot is an ordinary one as Smith pokes at it with zero foot movement. Ends up getting an outside edge which, this time, is pouched safely by Nurul Hasan behind the stumps. The visitors should aim to build on this. The Windies lead by 70 runs. 113/1

40.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, 18th Test fifty for Kraigg Brathwaite! It has been a good and sensible knock from the right-hander. Full length ball, Kraigg shuffles and clips it to mid-wicket for a run. 113/0

39.4 M Hasan to Smith, Outside off, eased to covers. 108/0

37.4 M Hasan to D Smith, Full on middle and leg, eased with the angle to mid on. 102/0

37.2 M Hasan to Smith, A moment of excitement for Bangladesh! Quicker ball on leg stump, Smith is late to react as he is hit on the thigh pads. The ball starts to roll towards the stumps but the batsman is alert and keeps it out with his boot. 102/0

We are back for the evening session. 37 overs are left in the day. Will there be any kind of resurgence from the visitors? Let's find out. Devon Smith and Kraigg Brathwaite to resume their innings. Mehidy Hasan to bowl first up after Tea. Well, seems there is a change of plan. Kamrul Islam has the ball in hand. Here we go…

… Day 1, Session 3 …

None of the Bangladeshi bowlers posed any real threat apart from the chance created by Kamrul Islam but that too was shelled by Nurul Hasan behind the wickets. When things are not going your way, you need to pounce on the smallest of opportunities. The tourists are staring down the barrel at the moment. The hosts will look to pile on the misery on the visitors. Do the Bangla Tigers have the character to bounce back? Join us in a while for the final session.

Session Highlights – 29 overs, 81 runs, no wickets. The Windies continue to run the show. In the first half, the pair of Brathwaite and Smith were cautious, handling the new ball nicely. Once the spinners came onto bowl, they took a few chances and got the scoreboard ticking.

31.6 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Well played! Full length ball around off, Brathwaite punches it down the ground past mid off. Mushfiqur chases it and saves a run for his side. THAT'S TEA ON DAY 1! 90/0

29.2 Abu Jayed to Smith, This one is well outside off as Devon doesn't fiddle with it. 82/0

29.1 Abu Jayed to D Smith, FOUR! He almost does! Jayed runs in and bowls an away swinging delivery outside off. Smith gets lured into it and goes for a drive with minimal footwork. Ends up getting a thick outside edge as the ball flies towards the slip cordon. Liton Das at second slip dives to his left but the ball goes past him in a flash. Bangladesh need to keep believing in themselves. If they get an opening, anything can happen. 82/0

28.6 K Islam to Smith, Another short ball, this time it is pulled straight to the man at square leg for a run. 78/0

Smith tries to keep it out but gets hit on the front pad. Islam roars in an appeal but the umpire stays put. Shakib has a chat with his teammates and goes for the DRS. The replays roll in. Snicko doesn't spot anything. The Hawk Eye rolls in and shows that the ball is going over the leg stump. 65/0

Finally something happening! Bangladesh feel that they have trapped Smith in front of the stumps. Shakib takes some time to signal for the DRS.

24.3 K Islam to D Smith, Dropped! What have you done, Nurul Hasan? An easy opportunity presented itself but he failed to capitalize. Islam bowls this on a fullish length across Smith. This is the area where he struggles and his feet don't move properly. He pushes at it tamely and gets a thick outside edge.

24.2 K Islam to Smith, In the channel outside off, left alone. 65/0

24.1 K Islam to Smith, FOUR! Starts off with a loosener and pays the price for it! Delivers a gentle full toss wide outside off, Smith just caresses it through the covers to get the desired result. 65/0

Drinks break. A quiet hour after all the havoc in the first session. The Windies openers are looking quite badured at the crease against some flavourless Bangladesh bowling. The visitors need to get their act together, otherwise it's going to be a long day in the office for them.

14.4 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Oohhh…this one stays low and nearly struck the batsman on the pads. A length ball angling in around off, not bouncing much as it skids off the surface. Credit to Brathwaite for keeping his eyes glued to the ball as he blocks it back by crouching. 36/0

14.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Pitches it full and on off, Brathwaite eases it away off his pads to mid-wicket. 36/0

12.1 Abu Jayed to Smith, Plays and a miss! Jayed succeeds in luring the batsman but fails to induce any edge. Short in length and wide outside off, Smith tries to play a full-blooded square cut from the crease but fails to make any connection. 35/0

11.6 K Islam to Brathwaite, Very full and on middle, Kraigg digs it out down to mid on to end the over. 35/0

11.5 K Islam to Brathwaite, Extra bounce this time from around off as it cuts back into the batsman. Brathwaite somehow works it away behind square leg for a couple of runs. 35/0

11.4 K Islam to Brathwaite, FOUR! Suffers this time for bowling on the pads. Brathwaite smartly deflects it away and it goes screaming down to the fine leg fence. 33/0

11.3 K Islam to Brathwaite, Loses his line this time and serves it down the leg side. Kraigg has nothing to do with it and the keeper makes an acrobatic collection. 29/0

10.4 Abu Jayed to Smith, Appeal for an lbw again, although this time it dies down rather quickly. Too full and around leg, swinging down, Smith is beaten for pace and movement as he tries to clip it across the line. Takes a beating on his front pad, they appeal but nothing from the umpire.

8.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Defended off the back foot by the batsman. 24/0

8.4 Jayed to Brathwaite, The struggle is real for Abu Jayed. He lets out an appeal on this delivery for leg before wicket but nothing doing.

The appeal ain't entertained as it was going down. 24/0

8.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, The batsman shoulders arms to let that one through. 24/0

7.3 R Hossain to Brathwaite, This one is bowled wide outside off, no reason whatsoever to flirt with it. Kraigg lets it be. 19/0

7.2 R Hossain to Brathwaite, Oohhh…first delivery of some substance. It's on a good length, landing close to off stump, Brathwaite has to play at it but he ends up pushing and missing inside the line. Reason – There was an away movement coupled with extra bounce. 19/0

6.4 Abu Jayed to Smith, Covers the line of the delivery and that little movement before offering a straight blade in defense. 17/0

4.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Closer to the off stump line, on a shortish length again, Brathwaite blocks it from the crease. They are not getting the same kind of badistance from the pitch the Windies pacers got. Should be something in it still but seems they lack the skill to achieve that. 10/0

We are back for the afternoon session. Kraigg Brathwaite and Devon Smith to resume their innings. Rubel Hossain to continue his spell.

… Day 1, Session 2 …

The Windies will be bad-a-hoop as they have been flawless. Credit to their bowlers as they didn't bowl any no balls and the fielders didn't drop any catches as well. Seems that they have sorted this issues out after the Sri Lanka series. Kemar Roach was the one who dictated terms in Antigua. He proved his caliber to take his 8th Test fifer and was a joy to watch! The hosts will be aiming to bat sensibly and with positive intent. Bangladesh have to draw inspiration from somewhere in order to infuse life into the contest. Will they bounce back or will it be one-way traffic? Join us for the second session in a while.

Nothing much to write about Bangladesh. It is understood that they are not used to these kind of bouncy tracks but at this level, you can't give any excuses. Though they are 8th on the Test rankings, just one above Windies but the way they were found wanting in challenging conditions proves that they have a lot of work to do. The mindset has to be questioned as well. Even after losing half their side, Liton Das was batting recklessly and paid the price.

If you are wondering whether the match has started late, don't bother! We have witnessed an extraordinary couple of hours wherein a team was shot out in 90 minutes. The Windies made full use of the pitch after winning the toss with Roach and Cummins making merry. It was then supposed to be a tricky little phase for the opening pair of the hosts but the Bangladeshi bowlers didn't look threatening at all. Seems like they will have to toil hard throughout if they don't get into the act.

2.6 Abu Jayed to Smith, Jayed loses his radar and slips this one down the leg side, Smith leaves it happily. THAT'S LUNCH ON DAY 1! 9/0

2.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Full delivery on the pads, tucked through square leg for a single. 9/0

2.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, As opposed to the Windies bowlers, the Bangladesh bowlers haven't been able to extract much bounce from the good length area. This one is outside off as Kraigg dabs it with ease to covers. 8/0
