WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 2 Highlights: Bangladesh are currently trailing by 112 runs with eight wickets in hand
WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 2 Highlights: Bangladesh are facing a defeat inside three days in the ongoing first Test against West Indies as they are currently trailing the hosts by 112 runs with eight wickets in hand. For the visitors, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudal Hasan Joy are at the crease. Earlier, Kraigg Brathwaite's 94 and Jermaine Blackwood's 63 helped West Indies take a 162-run lead on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh, after having bowled them out for 103 on Day 1. Brathwaite, who began the day on 42 batted brilliantly but fell just six runs short of his century, while Blackwood did well to hold on to one end as wickets fell at the other before being dismissed by Khaled Ahmed. Their efforts saw them post a first-innings score of 265. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh, with four scalps to his name. On Day 1, Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph struck thrice each, while Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers picked two wickets apiece to run the Bangladesh batters ragged at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Then, Mustafizur Rahman got John Campbell out for 24 and Ebadot Hossain sent Raymon Reifer packing for 11. But Kraigg Brathwaite and Nkrumah Bonner took West Indies to within eight runs of Bangladesh's total at Stumps. (SCORECARD)

WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 2 Live
We are back for Bangladesh's second innings! The umpires and the West Indies players take their positions on the field. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are the openers for Bangladesh. Kemar Roach, as usual, has the new ball in hand and is raring to go.
... Third innings ...
It was a hard toil for Bangladesh. They sweat hard on the field but struggled to create breakthroughs. All the investments they did in the two sessions eventually paid rich dividends, especially when they took the second new ball. Mehidy Hasan was the focal point of their bowling as his 4-fer infused life in Bangladesh's bowling. Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain were also impressive and got rewarded with two wickets apiece. West Indies have gained a handy lead and the touring team will have to bat better than the last time to stay relevant in this Test match. Those grassy patches on the surface got nicely targeted by the Windies bowlers in the first innings, and expect them to do that again. Let's see how the Asian team responds...
Valuable runs from the bat of debutant Gudakesh Motie, and his knock played a critical role in taking West Indies' lead to 162 runs. It was a determined batting show by the hosts and the only thing they could have done better was to bat with more intent this morning. After consuming close to 113 overs, to score 265, in this era of Test cricket, looks a bit odd, especially on a good batting strip. Anyway, this is how they operate under Kraigg Brathwaite. Once again their skipper led from the front and formed important stands with Nkrumah Bonner and Jermaine Blackwood.
OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan rounds up a sensational outing with his fourth wicket to go along with a stunning catch. Hasan angles this one on a length, around off. Jayden Seales gets down on one knee, looking to sweep it away, but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Huge appeal and the finger is raised almost instantaneously. No harm in reviewing and Seales does just that. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. West Indies have been bundled out for 265 runs and have a first-innings lead of 162 runs!
Jayden Seales has been adjudged out LBW but given that it is the last wicket, he reviews it. UltraEdge is checked first and there's no spike on it. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the middle stump. The original decision of OUT stands and the West Indies innings comes to an end.
On off this time, Jayden Seales defends it towards the fielder at silly point.

Yorker length outside off stump, Jayden Seales gets bat to it and bumps the ball towards second slip.

OUT! TAKEN! A stunner from Mehidy Hasan and Khaled Ahmed strikes with the first ball of his new spell. Ahmed steams in and delivers it halfway down the track, outside off. It is there to be hit and Jermaine Blackwood goes after it. Blackwood tries to force it off the back foot over covers but doesn't quite get his timing right. The ball is hit hard and to the left of short cover where Mehidy Hasan dives to his left and pouches it out of thin air. Blackwood is left stunned but has to walk back after a fine knock. The lead currently stands at 155 runs.
Khaled Ahmed is brought back into the attack as he replaces Ebadot Hossain.
Lands it on off this time, Gudakesh Motie guides it to covers. They had a chance for a single but they decide not to take it.
