We certainly hope you enjoyed our coverage of this third day. We hope to see you bright and early tomorrow at 9.30am for more action from Arnos Vale! For now, this is Rohan Sharma, on behalf of Alagappan Muthu and the scorer, Chandan Duorah, saying good night, and good luck.

Benn was the pick of the West Indies' bowlers with his spell of 5 for 39, with Blackwood impressing on his Test bowling debut with two wickets. Bangladesh will be praying for a lot of rain to fall over the course of the next two days in hopes of securing a draw. With the way the weather has been these past few days, it is really not too distant a possibility.

So with that Bangladesh's first innings comes to a close on 182, and still 302 runs behind West Indies. It is also stumps as the players return to the pavilion. The West Indian players are keyed up and looking lively, while Mushfiqur trudges back knowing that his team have plenty of work to do tomorrow as they face the very real prospect of following on.

Benn to Al-Amin Hossain, OUT, and in an attempt to go for a big heave down the ground, Suliemann Benn has earned himself a five-wicket haul, while Bravo takes a fifth catch, becoming only the eighth Test player to do so. Al-Amin gets a thick outside edge which flies sharply to Bravo, who on this day will catch just about anything, as he snaps up the chance gleefully

Benn to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, gets this one wrong as he lobs up a nice gentle full toss, however Mushfiqur doesn't make it count as he could have used this to get to a fifty, but instead hits this straight to deep midwicket. West Indies will be happy because it means Al-Amin is back on strike

Gabriel to Al-Amin Hossain, no run, targets the pads straightaway as Al-Amin is wary of the close-in fielders on his leg side, playing this one with soft hands

Umesh: "If I was Ramdin - I won't force follow on. I will ask WI to make quick 100 runs and declare within 20-25 over to put more pressure on Bangladesh. We all know Bangladesh can't even survive for next 300 runs in 2nd innings."

Gabriel to Al-Amin Hossain, no run, shifts the line a bit closer as Al-Amin looked to drop his gloves and try and weave away from the rising delivery, but instead the ball catches his glove on the way to the slip fielder, who takes the catch
