12.34pm, Innings change Well that was a quick finish after lunch. They lose their last four wickets for only ten runs - but 231 won't be easy to chase and Bangladesh will know that. Taijul the star with his four-for. Nayeem finishes with three. Jayed two, Mehidy one. A mixture of misfortune and poorly thought out shots the downfall for West Indies after lunch. This is the third-lowest Test score vs Bangladesh

For West Indies to win, reckon Rahkeem Cornwall, who took a five-for in the Bangladesh first innings, will have a big role to play. With just under five sessions to play, you know a result is imminent. Big question is whether it will be 2-0 to West Indies (an amazing performance given the conditions and the squad that came here) or a 1-1 draw. Exciting stuff awaits. See you in under ten minutes.

Saidul Hasan: "Acid Test for Nazmul Hasan Shanto ... "

james: "The bowlers have definitely done their part into pushing for a win for BD. Its time for the batsmen to turn up."

kayser imtiaz: "With falling wickets, instead of being happy, I am fearing of BD batting collapse. From a BD fan."

Nayeem Hasan to Cornwall, OUT, taken at deep midwicket! Full, just outside off, and he goes for the big slog onto the leg side. In the air for ages, but Mushfiqur dives near the boundary line to take the catch. Bangladesh need 231 to win

RRS Cornwall c Mushfiqur Rahim b Nayeem Hasan 1 (6m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00

Nayeem Hasan to Cornwall, no run, full, on off. Defended with the turn with soft hands

Saidul Sayed : "Shanto need to come open with tamim" -- And Soumya at 3 or way down at 6, against the older ball? I prefer the latter to be fair

W
Nayeem Hasan to Bonner, OUT, Bonner goes for the reverse, but is bowled! Tossed up by Nayeem, outside off, and he gets into a really awkward position. Possibly looking for the reverse swat, but that goes through his legs and disturbs the furniture. His vigil comes to an anti-climactic end

NE Bonner b Nayeem Hasan 38 (187m 120b 3x4 0x6) SR: 31.66

END OF OVER:

Ezra: "There have been some unlucky dismissals throughout this test.De Selva, joseph" --- Might balance out in the next innings

Taijul Islam a wicket away from five. And considering his consistency, especially this morning, it would be a deserved reward

Taijul Islam to Cornwall, 1 run, length, and he dobbles this over the top. Doesn't go a long way, and drops just wide of extra cover. Cover and mid-off get to the ball, but only after it drops on the field
51.2
W
Taijul Islam to Joseph, OUT, off the leading edge, and picked up after a deflection off silly mid-off! Tossed up by Taijul, and he was looking to close the face on this. Went off the edge, and took a deflection off the leg of silly mid-off, and flew comfortably along to short cover

AS Joseph c Najmul Hossain Shanto b Taijul Islam 9 (7m 8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 112.50

Taijul Islam to Bonner, 1 run, just a bit short, and he can go back and cut this towards deep backward point. They want the second, but Joseph refuses, as Mushfiqur was quick to converge on the ball from deep point

Nayeem Hasan to Joseph, SIX, that's in the slot, and he has cleared cow corner! Tossed up, closer to him, and we know from past experience that Joseph doesn't mind taking on the deep midwicket fieldsman. Easy clearance over his head

2
Nayeem Hasan to Joseph, 2 runs, fuller, driven back down the ground. Bonner has to quickly step out of the way at the non-striker's end, but it strikes his hip and goes towards long-on. They pick up the two

Richard: "WI needs to counter attack from here on and push the lead to 250 , with pitch spinning and reversing, they can definitely have their tail up."
