Inn Break
Right then, that is it from an entertaining Day 1 of this first Test. West Indies are in a good position with 250/5 on the board, but Bangladesh will be eyeing early inroads and restricting them under 300. We did lose six overs of play but Day 2 is still expected to start at 2 pm GMT, but you can join us early for all the build-up. Cheers!
West Indies took control in the final session, with Alick Athanaze's counterattack and Mikyle Louis’s steady hand powering a 100-plus run stand. Both batters stormed into their 90s, but the tension of the nervous nineties struck hard - Louis fell after a shaky patch, and Athanaze followed soon after. Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam’s spin broke the partnership just in time for Bangladesh. Yet, the second new ball backfired, as Joshua Da Silva and Justin Greaves countered with quick runs, steering the Windies safely to stumps. A gripping day ends with the hosts holding the edge and Bangladesh plotting a comeback.
West Indies fought back brilliantly in the afternoon session, closing at 116/3, led by Mikyle Louis’s gritty, unbeaten 71 off 166 balls. With seven boundaries, Louis anchored the innings, fending off a relentless Bangladeshi attack. Kavem Hodge’s run-out for 25 was the only blip, but his partnership with Louis steadied the ship. Alick Athanaze’s composed presence added 32 crucial runs for the fourth wicket. The Bangladeshi pacers were a bit inconsistent, letting the batters take advantage while the spinners Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam probed without any reward.
Opting to bowl first proved a good decision for Bangladesh, with Shoriful Islam and Hasan Mahmud setting the tone early with disciplined spells. Though wickets eluded them initially, Taskin Ahmed broke through with two crucial strikes, dismissing both Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty. The Windies struggled to keep the scoreboard ticking, but Mikyle Louis showed resilience, finding rhythm as the session progressed, with Kavem Hodge providing steady support. Heading into Lunch, the hosts faced an uphill battle to regain momentum, while Bangladesh were eager to press their advantage and seize control.
SESSION SUMMARY - 134 runs and 2 wickets in 30 overs! Well, a hard-fought day of Test cricket comes to an end! Bangladesh were the ones who took control in the first session with some brilliant pace bowling but the momentum shifted quickly with West Indies coming back hard in the next two sessions. The visitors did manage to get a couple of crucial breakthroughs in the last hour of play, but this game is very much in the balance.

Drinks! West Indies have dominated the first hour or so of this final session. Alick Athanaze has been really proactive getting to his fifty while Mikyle Louis is nearing his ton. Both of them have added over 100 runs and are looking a real threat for the visitors. Bangladesh haven't bowled as well as they did in the first two sessions and the skipper, Mehidy Hasan also dropped an easy chance. Their bowlers need to keep grinding and hope that they can get a breakthrough before the end of play on Day 1.

We are all set! The Bangladesh players and the Umpires walk out to start the Final session on Day 1 of the Test match. Shoriful Islam has the ball in hand and is ready to start the attack. Mikyle Louis and Alick Athanaze walk out as the batters for the West Indies. Let's Play!
... DAY 1, FINAL SESSION ...
Bangladesh employed five bowlers, with Taskin Ahmed leading the charge, claiming 2/34 with the ball jagging both ways. Spinners Taijul Islam and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz found turns and bounces, but neither could break through in this session. Stay tuned for the evening session as the Windies aim to build on this steady recovery.
The West Indies have staged a solid comeback in the afternoon session, finishing at 116/3, thanks to Mikyle Louis’s composed and unbeaten 71 off 166 balls. His patient knock, adorned with seven boundaries, has anchored the innings, negotiating both pace and spin with determination. Kavem Hodge was the only casualty of the session, falling for a hard-fought 25 off 63 deliveries. His dismissal came through a run-out at the striker’s end while attempting a risky second run. However, the fourth-wicket partnership between Louis and Alick Athanaze has added a vital 32 runs, stabilizing the innings.
TEA! SESSION SUMMARY - 31 overs, 66 runs, 1 wicket - Time for Tea, says the Umpire and the players walk off for a well-deserved break. The West Indies have managed to bat through the session by losing just one Kavem Hodge wicket just before drinks taking the side to 116/3 at the break.

We are back after LUNCH! Bangladesh walks out along with the Umpires to start the second session on Day 1. Mikyle Louis, unbeaten on 36, walks out with Kavem Hodge who is batting on 10. Hasan Mahmud to have the ball in hand and start the attack for Bangladesh after Lunch. Let's Play!
... DAY 1, SECOND SESSION ...
The West Indies managed to navigate the first hour without significant damage, but their inability to keep the scoreboard moving is something they’ll need to address after Lunch. Braithwaite soaked up plenty of deliveries in an effort to wear down the pacers but eventually fell shortly after the first hour. Carty couldn’t make an impact either. The silver lining for the hosts was Mikyle Louis, who started cautiously but became more proactive once he settled in. Hodge offered solid support, and together they saw out the rest of the session without further setbacks. The Windies will look to build on this partnership and inject some aggression into their innings, while Bangladesh will be eager to strike early in the next session to take control of the game. Join us at 4.40 PM GMT to find out how the second session unfolds!
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss turned out to be a smart decision for the visitors. The pace duo of Shoriful and Hasan Mahmud kept things tight with the new ball, making life tough for the openers, although they couldn’t break through before the drinks break. It was Taskin Ahmed who capitalized on their disciplined efforts, using his clever setups to claim both wickets in this session.
SESSION SUMMARY - 50 runs and 2 wickets in 23 overs! Bangladesh will head into the break feeling slightly more satisfied, though they haven’t pulled too far ahead. The West Indies batters adopted a cautious approach, making run-scoring a challenging task in this session, but they are still very much in this contest.

Drinks! Despite some good new ball bowling, the West Indies openers have managed to stay at the crease as they take drinks at 23/0 after the first hour of play on Day 1. Bangladesh's fast bowlers did manage to beat the outside edge of the bat many times with the new ball but were unable to produce any chance for the team. The West Indies will look to bat more freely now with the swing of the new ball wearing off. Let's see what happens after the break. Shoriful Islam gets a change of ends and comes into the attack replacing Hasan Mahmud.

Lovely start! Hasan Mahmud steams in from 'over the wicket and lands this on a good length, on middle, shaping away. Kraigg Brathwaite gets squared up trying to defend it and the ball goes off the leading edge along the ground towards point.
Here we go! Bangladesh walks out with the ball in hand to start the Two-match series along with the Umpires to start the Test match. Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of the West Indies walks out to open the batting along with Mikyle Louis. The youngster Hasan Mahmud takes the new ball for Bangladesh. Let's Play!
Moments away from the start, the teams and the officials walk out for the National Anthems! Its the National Anthem of Antigua and Barbuda followed by that of Bangladesh and finally the National Anthem of the West Indies.
PITCH REPORT! Curtly Ambrose and Samuel Badree analyze the pitch, noting it appears to be an excellent surface with an even covering of grass. They highlight that the pitch is hard and contains some moisture, which will likely favor the fast bowlers. According to them, the surface offers bounce and lateral movement, promising an engaging contest for the pacers.
Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of West Indies says that they would have bowled first as well with some moisture on the pitch but it could get hard to bat on later in the game. Adds that the guys have played in the Super50 and they are in good spirits. Mentions that they have had a lot of success with pacers here and that is why they are going with four seamers. Ends by saying that getting to a good start will be crucial and they need to stick to the plans and get those big hundreds.
Mehidy Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh says that they are looking to use the weather conditions at the start and put some pressure with the new ball. He further mentions that the team has been on a bit of a roller coaster but they are going to start the series with confidence and hopefully things will fall into places for them.
West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Mikyle Louis, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales.

TOSS - Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to BOWL first.
Who will seize the upper hand as this gripping series unfolds? Fans across the cricketing world will be watching closely as the West Indies and Bangladesh embark on this pivotal chapter of their Test cricket journeys. Stay tuned as we bring you the Toss and other match updates shortly.
On the other hand, Bangladesh arrived with mixed fortunes of its own. Their historic 2-0 Test series victory against Pakistan was a statement of intent, showing they could punch above their weight against higher-ranked opponents. Yet, subsequent defeats to India and South Africa revealed the gaps in their game. As they gear up for this contest, the visitors will be eager to prove that their recent success wasn’t a one-off and that they can sustain their competitiveness on foreign soil.
For the West Indies, it has been a rocky road since their triumphant Test victory at the Gabba against Australia in January, a match defined by Shamar Joseph’s fiery bowling spell that dismantled the hosts. That moment of brilliance, however, has been followed by a string of forgettable performances. A 3-0 series whitewash at the hands of England, coupled with a challenging tour of South Africa, has left the Caribbean side searching for consistency. Back on home soil, they will look to reignite their spark and rediscover the fighting spirit that once defined West Indies cricket.
Hello and a warm welcome to everyone joining us here for the Bangladesh tour of the West Indies. The stage is set at the picturesque Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua as the West Indies take on Bangladesh in the first of the two-match Test series. With both teams striving to reclaim lost glory, this promises to be an intriguing battle of resilience and redemption.
