Summary
A day that promised much for Bangladesh ended with West Indies 56 for one in their second innings and leading by 61, after impressive bowling from Kemar Roach kept the hosts in the second and final Test on Saturday. Bangladesh were dismissed for 232, replying to West Indies first innings total of 237, with Roach finishing with the flattering figures of six wickets for 48 runs from 23.5 overs on the second day of the Test at the Queens Park Stadium Complex. In an hour-and-a-half before the close, Shakib Al Hasan managed to scalp opener Dale Richards lbw for 12 to set West Indies back, but Bangladesh missed a chance to tighten the noose, when Tamim Iqbal put down Travis Dowlin on nought at slip off Mahmudullah. Earlier, several Bangladesh batsmen got starts without carrying on - Mushfiqur Rahim hit the top score of 48, Raqibul Hasan made 44, Tamim Iqbal got 37, and Mahmudullah added 28. But every time Bangladesh seemed to be fortifying their position in the match, West Indies would fight back with Roach taking a leading role, after the Tigers continued from their bedtime total of 35 without loss. They came under pressure from early and slid to 134 for five at lunch. Night-watchman Enamul Haque was a sacrificial lamb, and became the second of five dismissals for wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton when he was caught down the leg-side off Roach for 13 in the first half hour.
