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

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

32.5WAlzarri Joseph to Khaled Ahmed
OUT! CAUGHT! Fuller this time, around off, Khaled Ahmed brings down a straight bat in defense but it takes a thick outside edge and flies straight into the hands of Nkrumah Bonner at fourth slip. Khaled Ahmed becomes the sixth batter for Bangladesh to bag a duck. The tourists are bundled out for just 103.

32.2WAlzarri Joseph to Shakib Al Hasan
OUT! Shakib holes out! Alzarri Joseph angles in a length ball, around off, Shakib Al Hasan winds up for a big heave-ho over mid-wicket but ends up playing it a lot straighter. It flies down to widish long on and Kemar Roach takes the skier safely. End of a handy knock by the skipper. Bangladesh are nine down for just 103.
-
32.10Alzarri Joseph to Shakib Al Hasan
Slightly short and on off, Shakib moves back and lofts it over cover-point. No run taken.
-
31.60Jayden Seales to Ebadot Hossain
Negotiated safely. Ebadot Hossain gets right behind the line of the delivery and offers a dead bat in defense.
-
!
Jayden Seales gets a second warning from the umpire for running over the danger zone on his followthrough. He has to be really careful now.
-
31.50Jayden Seales to Ebadot Hossain
Poor delivery. Down the leg side, an easy leave for the number 10. Jayden Seales receives a warning for running on the danger area.
-
31.41Jayden Seales to Shakib Al Hasan
Short and on middle, pulled to deep square leg for a run. Again two balls to survive for Ebadot.
-
31.34Jayden Seales to Shakib Al Hasan
FOUR! FIFTY FOR SHAKIB! His 28th in Tests and 9th versus West Indies. It's been a good attacking knock from the skipper. Fuller and outside off, Shakib this time goes through the line and smashes it towards the long off fence. 100 up for Bangladesh!
-
31.20Jayden Seales to Shakib Al Hasan
Full in length, around middle, Shakib heaves it over mid-wicket and it falls wide of Kemar Roach running across to his left from wide long on. They decide not to run.
-
31.10Jayden Seales to Shakib Al Hasan
Too full in length and around off, Shakib squeezes it out through point and denies the single.
-
30.60Alzarri Joseph to Ebadot Hossain
JUST SHORT! Back of a length, around middle, Ebadot Hossain is on his toes as he fends it away uncomfortably. The ball goes uppishly to short leg where Raymon Reifer is standing a shade deep. It falls in front of his outstretched hands.
-
30.50Alzarri Joseph to Ebadot Hossain
Spears in a very full ball around off, Ebadot Hossain tries to defend but it whistles past the outside edge. After planting a leg gully, this delivery came as a surprise for the batter.
-
30.41Alzarri Joseph to Shakib Al Hasan
Short and on middle, Shakib rides the bounce and pulls it to deep square leg for a run. Two balls to survive for Ebadot Hossain and Shakib has a word with him.
