Bangladesh are staring at the prospect of defeat inside three days after closing day two of the first Test on Friday at 50 for two in their second innings, needing 112 more runs to make the West Indies bat again. West Indies were eventually dismissed in their first innings for 265 after tea, having started the morning at 95 for two.
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.
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)
Babar Azam-led Pakistan had little difficulty in brushing aside the challenge of West Indies in the three-match ODI series and the hosts wrapped up the series 3-0. With this win, Pakistan leapfrogged India into fourth place in ICC ODI Rankings and now they would look to continue with their winning momentum against the Netherlands. In the final two ODIs, Pakistan defended totals and they went on to register comprehensive victories.
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 in to bat against the West Indies on the opening day of the first Test on Thursday. Compounding their woes after an innings that 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.
WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Live Updates: Bangladesh are three wickets down against West Indies on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test in North South, Antigua. Earlier, West Indies had won the toss and elected to field. West Indies were boosted on the eve of the match by senior paceman Kemar Roach passing a fitness test to take his place in the playing XI as part of a bowling attack that also includes debutant left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie. Bangladesh are without regular wicketkeeper and former captain Mushfiqur Rahim for this campaign with Nurul Hasan given the responsibility behind the stumps. Shakib-Al-Hasan also makes his return as captain of the Test team (LIVE SCORECARD)
Ahead of the first Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh, West Indies pacer Kemar Roach has been added to the squad. West Indies and England will be squaring for the two-match Test series, with the first match to be played on Thursday, here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The experienced fast bowler passed a fitness assessment and was added as the 13th player into the squad.
Shai Hope has been West Indies' top batter in white-ball cricket for a while now. The opening batter looks a class apart and made his presence felt in the recently concluded 3-match ODI series against Pakistan, despite the Caribbean side going down 0-3. Hope started the series with a bang, scoring 127 runs. But his efforts failed to inspire West Indies to a win.
