A light roller is being used.

The folks at Caribbean Cricket Podcast have written that Jaker's innings was like prime Brian Lara. It was very enterprising wasn't it, channeling the misplaced West Indian aggression and using it to his advantage when they bowled predictably. Bangladesh, though, would've wanted a few more runs than they eventually got, with Kemar Roach (3-36) running through the tail. Jaker scored 62 of the 75 runs Bangladesh scored this morning.

11.31am West Indies trod back slowly, knowing they need to get a record fourth-innings Sabina Park target to seal the series 2-0. To avoid a shared trophy, they need to go where no team has ever gone before at this ground. The highest chased successfully is 212.

Azim: "Great fight back by team Tigers and excellent knock by Anik"

Sadib: "Take a bow Jaker Ali"

AS Joseph to Jaker Ali, OUT, Jaker will fall for 91 and WI need 287 to win! The young man looks to keep adding the runs and attempts a pull in front of square, but he fails to get the power on this occasion. Taken at deep midwicket. He walks back to a standing ovation

Jaker Ali c Athanaze b AS Joseph 91 (189m 106b 8x4 5x6) SR: 85.84

Ry: "Lead is now 14 short of 300 btw, if anyone is keeping track "

Roach to Nahid Rana, no run, Nahid survives. Length ball just outside off and angling into off stump. Nahid tries to fish at it to protect his stumps, but misses, and the ball goes past the edge to the keeper

Tanvir: "I know cricket rules allow for but the last ball from Shamar border line un-sportsman like approach."

Sifat: " This wide is clearly intentional, deserves both strike rotation and penalty. "

Roach to Nahid Rana, 1 run, full ball just outside off stump and Nahid guides it gently towards cover and calls for the single. Alzarri races in, picks up, and has a shy at the bowler's end, but he misses. There's a chance of an overthrow run but no way Jaker is sending Nahid back on strike

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, no run, smart plan from Shamar. Bowls a full ball rather wide outside leg, and Da Silva was in on the plan too. Swiftly collected behind the stumps, and Jaker has no choice but to return to his crease instead of attempting a bye

Four-man chat at the bowler's mark. Some fielders come in to try and cut the single

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, FOUR, short ball on off and Jaker places the pull exquisitely! Uses his wrists to place the pull behind square, and the timing is so sublime that the fielder at deep square leg has no chance!

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, no run, good length ball, fourth-stump line. Jaker moves across and attempts a leg-side swipe across the line. Mistimed to deep midwicket. Turns down the single

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, no run, short ball bit wide outside off. Left alone. Could've ramped it over the cordon but opted not to with a fielder at deep third as well

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, FOUR, back of a length ball outside off. Not short enough to be called a bouncer and Jaker swivels into a front-of-square pull, and hammers a four between long on and deep square leg

S Joseph to Jaker Ali, no run, short ball, wide outside off. Stone-cold leave from the batter

Jaker Ali on strike. Expect him to farm the strike with the No. 11. Also expect some big shots. Both of them also change their bats!

Roach to Nahid Rana, no run, length ball originating outside off but angling in sharply. Nahid tries to nudge it to the leg side but a leading edge sends the ball in the other direction

Jaker Ali was also disappointed at Taskin's dismissal. Perhaps the plan of giving Taskin the strike early in the over was what had him angered

Roach to Nahid Rana, no run, short ball again. Lands outside off and shapes away after pitching. Da Silva jumps up to collect

Roach to Nahid Rana, no run, short ball, of course. Nahid's a tall frame but he comfortably ducks under it

Roach to Taskin Ahmed, OUT, comes around the stumps, digs it in short just outside off. Taskin tries to fend at it with soft hands but the ball takes an inside edge onto his body and then ricochets onto off stump. Taskin is so disappointed but the extra bounce induced the error

Taskin Ahmed b Roach 0 (7m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Murad rony: "10 No Ball!! Thats utter indiscipline "

Roach to Jaker Ali, 1 run, flat-batted just over the bowler's head! Short ball, rather wide, Jaker flat-bats a shot but only ends up toe-ending it. Roach jumps up but the ball eludes him
