Bangladesh take control
KINGSTON – Nahid Rana’s first-ever five-wicket Test haul, backed by some resolute batting, has put Bangladesh in firm control of the second Test at the end of the third day here at Sabina Park yesterday.
Nana ran through the home side’s top and lower order on his way to finishing with 5-61, as West Indies, who resumed the day in the ascendancy at 70 for one, were bundled out for a paltry 146.
Bangladesh’s batsmen then mixed aggression with stern defence to end on 193 for five, an overall lead of 211, heading into Tuesday’s penultimate day.
It means that more than likely the West Indies will have to complete a record run chase, with the highest successful run chase at Sabina Park being 212, which the home side scored against Sri Lanka back in 2003 to win by seven wickets. (CMC)
