WI vs BAN 2nd Test, Day 3: Kemar Roach Runs Through Bangladesh Top Order, West Indies On Top

Kemar Roach became just the sixth West Indian to claim 250 Test wickets as the senior pacer swept through the top order of the Bangladesh second innings to put his team on course for victory on the third day of the second and final Test at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Sunday. Roach's three wickets led the assault of the hapless visitors who closed the truncated day at 132 for six in their second innings, still needing another 42 runs to avoid an innings defeat after Kyle Mayers' topscore of 146 anchored the West Indies first innings total of 408.

Kemar Roach Targets 300 Wickets As West Indies Aim For Series Win Vs Bangladesh

When Kemar Roach marks out his run in the second Test against Bangladesh, which starts at the Daren Sammy Stadium on Friday, he will do so knowing that he is just one wicket short of joining a very select group of West Indian bowlers. The 33-year-old Barbadian pace bowler goes into the Test with 249 wickets to his name, the same as a legend of the 1970s and 80s, Michael Holding. One more scalp and Roach will become just the sixth West Indies bowler to joint the '250 Club', following Courtney Walsh (519 wickets), Curtly Ambrose (405), Malcolm Marshall (376), Lance Gibbs (309) and Joel Garner (259).

WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Updates: With Bangladesh completely on back foot, West Indies on Day 3 will aim to clinch an early win in the first Test of the two-match series. The guests, who are trailing by 112 runs, will resume their second innings at 50/2 at North Sound in Antigua on Saturday. The first two days of play saw a total of 22 wickets falling, but not before the hosts gained a considerable lead of 162 runs.

For Two Tests In A Row, Bangladesh Equal Unwanted Record

Bangladesh were bowled out for just 103 in the first innings of the first Test against West Indies in North Sound Antigua on Thursday. In the process they equalled a most unwanted record as six batters failed to get off the mark. The six ducks is the joint highest number of ducks in an innings in Test cricket. Co-incidentally, the last time a team got six ducks in an innings was Bangladesh in their last Test match, which was against Sri Lanka. In that game too, the six ducks came in Bangladesh's first innings.

West Indies vs Bangladesh 1st Test, Day 2 Live Score Updates: West Indies Look To Take Lead After Bundling Bangladesh Out For 103

WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 2 Live Updates: West Indies will look to build on their overnight score of 95/2 and build a big first-innings lead on Day 2 of the first Test after bundling Bangladesh out for 103 on the first day. Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph struck thrice each, while Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers picked two wickets apiece to run the Bangladesh batters ragged at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Then, Mustafizur Rahman got John Campbell out for 24 and Ebadot Hossain sent Raymon Reifer packing for 11. But Kraigg Brathwaite and Nkrumah Bonner took West Indies to within eight runs of Bangladesh's total at Stumps. Brathwaite will begin Day 2 at 42* and Bonner at 12*. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Bangladesh crash as West Indies dominate slow motion Test

Bangladesh's well-established vulnerability to fast bowling was in evidence again with the visitors crashing to 103 all out off fewer than 33 overs after being put into bat against the West Indies on the opening day of the first Test in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda on Thursday.

Compounding their woes after an innings which featured six ducks -- only the seventh time that has occurred in the 145-year history of Test cricket -- was Kraigg Brathwaite being dropped before he had scored with the home captain unbeaten on 42 as they crawled to the close of play at 95 for two in reply. Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph were the most successful West Indies bowlers with identical figures of three for 33. However, it was double strikes by Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers which took the early spotlight to have Bangladesh tottering at 45 for six in the morning. Returning captain Shakib Al Hasan then played an adventurous innings of 51 to ensure his team avoided a debacle similar to when they were routed for 43 at the same venue at the start of the 2018 series.
