Mirpur:West Indies captain Roston Chase claimed three wickets, causing Bangladesh to falter at 79 for six in their second innings before bad light led to an early close on the third day of the first Test in Mirpur.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Bangladesh now holds a lead of 106 runs. Nayeem Hasan and Jaker Ali were both batting on 18 as play was halted after 29 overs, with the pair having added an unbroken 26-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Jaker Ali is playing as a concussion substitute for Mominul Haque, who was injured.
Bangladesh's batting woes began early, falling to 35 for five. Chase, an off-spinner, made significant early inroads by taking two wickets in the 11th over. Shadman Islam was bowled for 13, and Towhid Hridoy was caught for a duck by Jayden Seales. Chase also dismissed captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw for 10, and although Shanto reviewed the decision, ball-tracking confirmed it was hitting leg stump.
Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican then removed Litton Das lbw for four and bowled Mehidy Hasan Miraz for nine, leaving Bangladesh struggling at 53 for six. Tanzid Hasan was dismissed for a duck in the second over, caught by Chase at gully off Shamar Joseph.
Earlier in the match, the West Indies were bowled out for 245 in response to Bangladesh's first-innings total of 272, giving the hosts a slender 27-run lead. Nayeem Hasan took four wickets for 33 runs, while Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed with two wickets each. John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul scored half-centuries for the West Indies.
