2.09 am And that will be tea. West Indies began the day brightly, with Warrican getting rid of Liton Das early, but that glimmer of hope turned out to be an ideal opening for Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The young off-spinning allrounder, who has long been touted as one of the better allround potentials in the game, goes on to become the first centurion of this series, and also crosses three figures in any official cricket for the first time in his career. Shakib got a fifty too, and there were useful hands from Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan along the way too. West Indies will need to bat really well, but will take heart from the fact that this pitch is still playing quite true. We'll be back with the final session in a short while.

Khalid Hasan : "He recently gained the 4th position in odi bowling ranking!!! And today he has shown the class of his batting. If someone can take the place of shakib in the all-rounder rank it will certainly be him." --- A definite talent in this squad

The pace on the wicket is still very slow and easy to negotiate
