West Indies vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test Day 4 Live Score Updates:
West Indies are just four wickets away from winning the second Test against Bangladesh. However the play on Day 4 was delayed due to wet outfield. On Day 3, Kemar Roach had become 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. Another brief respite followed courtesy of another series of showers. (LIVE SCORECARD)
