- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 huge shout, and the finger goes up! Bangladesh finally have something to show for their toil! The classic one-two. The short ball followed by something much fuller and attacking the stumps. This pitches just outside off and nips back in sharply. Brathwaite, without a great stride forward, goes fencing at it in front of his pad and leaves a gap. The ball breezes through and kisses his back thigh. Seemed pretty out but Brathwaite has taken it upstairs. Bounce is the only thing that could save him. No bat involved, as expected. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and....it returns with the ball hitting the top of off stump. Umpire's Call on Impact, meaning Kumar Dharmasena's decision stands, and the West Indies captain has to walk back! 25/174.2 edged and gone! Louis falls agonizingly short of his maiden Test ton and the disappointment is clear and etched on his face! Dangles the carrot outside off and Louis, who has been huffing and puffing in the nineties for a while, bites. Hares down the track and tries to smash it into the ocean. All he manages is an outside edge that is gobbled up smartly at slip by Shahadat Hossain. Applause from those at the ground and from the West Indian dressing room. This was a top knock, but without the fairy tale ending it warranted. Louis will have to wait for his first Test hundred! 224/415.5 the softest of dismissals! Taskin goes back-to-back! Slanted in on a length on the stumps. Carty, feeling the pinch to get off the mark, tries to work it to leg. The ball, though, sticks in the surface just enough. He plays too early and chips it straight to Taijul, who was prowling in the mid on region. West Indies in a spot of bother! 25/237.3 is that a run out? Against the run of play! The throw from fine leg was low and flat, and Litton had his hands close to the stumps. The moment he grabbed it, he whipped the bails off, and Hodge has to go! He tried to take two after pulling a shot towards fine leg but misjudged Taijul's speed and the power behind his throw! The dive couldn't save him either 84/377.4 oh dear - another West Indian batter falls short of a deserving hundred! Tossed up a touch on a length just outside off. Athanaze looks for the fine paddle-sweep but the lack of pace leads to his undoing. Gets a bit of a top edge and the ball spoons up. The easiest of catches for Litton Das, and just like that, Bangladesh have sent both set batters back to the shed! 228/584.5 trapped in front? Yes! Full on off, seaming into his pads and he misses the flick. Ball crashes into his pads and umpire Menon is quick to raise the finger. Da Silva reviews but this looks plumb. Could height could be a factor? It is hitting him on the knee roll but he is on the back foot. Technology says that's clipping leg stump. So West Indies keep their review but Da Silva is gone for 14 253/686.2 STUNNER! Hasan Mahmud with a peach of a ball. Good length ball around off. Seams away instead of angling in. Alzarri tries to play it leg side but the ball comes off the bat's outside half and flies towards Zakir at gully, who dives to his right and takes the catch with both hands. He's not the tallest of fielders going around and credit to his athleticism for utilising the chance! 261/7134.3 gone! Bowled him! Mahmud's third wicket of the day - and the third for Bangladesh, as well - as this ends a 140-run stand! It was angled in, and was bowled on a short of a length. The ball seemed to have pitched around fifth stump, and shaped back in sharply to clip the top of middle, as Roach was squared up after moving across in his crease. And incredible stand comes to an end 401/8142.2 holes out with Hasan Mahmud taking a sharp catch running backwards! Uses the reverse-cup technique to grab it before tumbling backwards. Seales again tried to tonk Mehidy with a slog over cow corner but the ball goes straighter than he'd have liked. Mahmud tracked back from mid-on very well to complete that catch 438/9Extras25 (b 7, lb 17, nb 1)TOTAL450/9d (144.1 Overs, RR: 3.12)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Kraigg Brathwaite, 13.3 ov), 2-25 (Keacy Carty, 15.5 ov), 3-84 (Kavem Hodge, 37.3 ov), 4-224 (Mikyle Louis, 74.2 ov), 5-228 (Alick Athanaze, 77.4 ov), 6-253 (Joshua Da Silva, 84.5 ov), 7-261 (Alzarri Joseph, 86.2 ov), 8-401 (Kemar Roach, 134.3 ov), 9-438 (Jayden Seales, 142.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 taken at second slip! Joseph had had Mahmudul dropped in his last over, but has him this time! The ball was dying on to the fielder, who did well to grab it barely off the ground. Joseph angled this in, and bowled on a short of a length on off. The ball bounced nicely, and also straightened away, as Mahmudul pushed at it, only for him to get an outside edge 21/29.6 chopped on! It is the bail on the middle and leg stumps which comes off! I thought the bail fell almost pretty late after Zakir got the bottom edge. On a short of a length from Seales again, only the line is much tighter this time. He angles this across, and gets this to arrive just outside off. The ball straightens back in, and Zakir has a jab at it with hard hands, and ends up getting a bottom edge 20/1Extras3 (lb 2, nb 1)TOTAL40/2 (20 Overs, RR: 2)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Zakir Hasan, 9.6 ov), 2-21 (Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 10.6 ov)
