Brathwaite and Campbell make their way out to the middle. Taijul Islam is given the first over. The captain to take first strike. Slip in place, as also short leg
Shif: "Its not a draw,there will be a result coming out for sure.When WI looks favourite but you never know,BD could fight back and chase down like chattogram. Who knows!!!" --- If I am in the Bangladesh camp, I am going to say that we have about 27 overs remaining for today. With the amount of time left, and even with spin expected to play the big part, we might only get in about 24 or so. Let's try and get them down to 50 for 3 by stumps. That's 163 for 3 at the end of the day
Sandeep Mathew: "So far so good from the Windies. I just hope they don't fritter away the advantage with loose shots or lack of concentration. Chasing anything 200 in fourth innings will always be tricky"
Right, this Test match is quite nicely poised. West Indies will be glad with this lead, but there's some assistance on this pitch still if the bowlers are willing to use the bounce and freshness of the new ball. The eventual collapse was dramatic, but the seeds of this lead were sown on the evening of Day 2. Let's see how West Indies approach their second dig, which resumes in a short while. Stay right here with us.
3.27 pm It's also a rare innings where all 10 wickets of Bangladesh's fell to catches. Teamwork trumps everything else, isn't it?
Abu Jayed c Bonner b Joseph 1 (22m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10.00
Mr Robot: "So far Taijul has proved himself a better batsman than Shanto and Soumya." --- With a few chances, to be fair. Those guys fell to the first errors they made
Oh West Indies gave that a review. It was definitely not out, because of an inside edge!
Alzarri Joseph about to get a go. 30 overs still left for the day, with only a little over an hour of scheduled play. We will definitely have an extra half-hour today

It actually went off the inner edge. Got Da Silva on the gloves, and then ran up and hit him on the chest. All kinds of bizarre!
Blackwood went from slip and fired in a good throw, but Cornwall couldn't quite collect it. Was a fair distance away from the stumps too
Slip, leg slip and short leg

Two slips, gully, leg gully and short leg in place for Jayed, as Gabriel goes over the wicket
charles: "can they take deficit to two figure or not. i am scared that while writing this, i will see them all out"
Ashis: "@Debayan, how is the pitch behaving now? Is it turning a lot?" --- Not really. Cornwall's wickets have all been by and large to subtle variations in length, line and pace
