We are done with all the pre-match rituals and we're all set for the start of play!

We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, the two teams will line up for the national anthems.

We are back.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

There has been enough assistance in the wicket, even as the ball aged, to keep the pacers interested. However, a total of 164 is far from justifiable on this surface. The Bangladeshi pacers will need to emulate the discipline of their West Indian counterparts by consistently hitting the right areas and forcing the batters to play in order to induce false shots. Their pace attack was one of the few positives from their defeat in North Sound, and the visitors will be banking on them to claw their

A superlative bowling effort from the West Indies has seen Bangladesh bowled out for 164! Jayden Seales led the hosts off the field, earning well-deserved applause for his outstanding performance. Seales was relentless with his line and length, consistently creating opportunities and maintaining pressure. It was a collective effort from the Windies pacers, who capitalised on helpful conditions to keep Bangladesh's batting in check. For Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain's gritty 64 and Mehidy Hasan's

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

At that point, it seemed like Bangladesh being bowled out before Lunch was a real possibility. However, Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam, despite not looking entirely convincing, managed to survive the onslaught. They held their ground while Seales and Shamar were breathing fire and kept the West Indies attack at bay. Mehidy will need to bat really well with the tail to get the tourists to a decent enough total, but it won't be easy, as the Windies' pace attack will be raring to go after the Lunch

However, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph quickly found their rhythm and triggered a collapse for the tourists. Out of the four wickets that fell in the session, some were down to unforced errors, while others came as a result of tight, disciplined bowling that forced mistakes from the Bangladeshi batters. Seales, who has bowled his heart out, has just one wicket to his name so far, but his consistent pressure at one end allowed Joseph to capitalize at the other. Joseph's excellent spell saw him

SESSION SUMMARY - 28 overs, 53 runs and 4 wickets. After the disappointment of the dropped catches on the opening day, the first session on Day 2 has turned out to be an ideal one for the West Indies. It was a steady start for the tourists as Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain picked up where they left off, leaving the balls well and capitalizing whenever the West Indies pacers erred on the fuller side. From the hosts' perspective, they began the day with Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph operatin

Alzarri Joseph to Shadman Islam, Gets that inward shape from over the wicket, on a length, attacking the stumps, Shadman Islam defends it out right under his eyes.

All in readiness for the action to commence on Day 2. The sun is shining in all its glory as the two umpires and the players make their way out to the middle. Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain are all set to resume their innings. Kemar Roach will start the proceedings with the ball for the West Indies. Roach to Shahadat first up. Three slips in place. Here we go!

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He says that it is a humid day with not much breeze blowing across the ground due to the buildings surrounding the stadium. Mentions that only 12 per cent of the balls from the Windies seamers were hitting the stumps on the opening day. Adds that they have been fuller as compared to the first Test to get the lateral movement. Courtney Walsh joins him and he feels that the adjustment made by the seamers was good to see and their lines were immaculat

Unlike the surface in North Sound, this pitch has lacked bounce, with deliveries often carrying at ankle height to keeper Joshua Da Silva. Occasionally, though, the odd ball has kicked off a length, making it vital for Bangladesh to post a competitive first-innings score. For the West Indies, the early morning conditions could provide an edge, and they will aim to exploit the moisture to push the visitors on the back foot. Play will start 15 minutes early to make up for lost time, with the first

On Day 1, Bangladesh opted to bat after winning the toss but were pegged back by Kemar Roach’s twin strikes. Shadman Islam stepped up with a steady half-century, and his partnership with Shahadat Hossain ensured that they ended the day on a positive note at 69/2. The Windies' pacers were disciplined, but they were not backed up by the fielders, with as many as 3 catches going down. If those catches had been taken, who knows, the tourists might be even 4 or 5 wickets down by the close of play

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica! Test cricket returned to this venue after three years, but rain in the lead-up caused a wet outfield, pushing the start by five hours and allowing only 30 overs on the opening day. As far as Day 2 is concerned, showers are forecasted for the afternoon, but let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope the rain stays away so we can get as close to the scheduled 98 overs as p

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, this has been a cagey start to the Test. The pacers were expected to dominate at this venue, and there has certainly been enough assistance for them to keep the batters on edge. If not for the dropped catches, Bangladesh might not be feeling as comfortable as they are at the moment. It will be about starting all over again for Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam as they look to build on their solid foundations and ensure they make the opportunities given to them count. Given that we c

Kemar Roach comes in for a quick chat. He says that he stayed relaxed during the day with the boys in the dressing room. Shares that he had a chat with the umpires and got to know about the start of play so got himself ready to bowl. Further mentions that bowling in the first Test gave him enough experience to bowl to the Bangladesh batters and tried to just challenge them on the front foot and keep testing the batters in and around off. Tells that consistency is key in bowling and controlling

Shahadat Hossain was also dropped once and, unlike his partner, did not look as convincing, but he did enough to see out the day, especially as the light began to fade during the final few overs. Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Justin Greaves all had chances put down off their bowling, which will be disappointing for the West Indies, given the bowler-friendly conditions they were operating in.

Earlier, rain in the days leading up to the game resulted in a wet outfield, causing the match to begin five hours past its scheduled time. At the toss, Bangladesh won the coin flip, with Mehidy Hasan choosing to bat first. Due to the late start, there wasn’t much moisture in the surface, but the ball nipped around just enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach, as he has so often done, set the tone by accounting for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mominul Haque with his probing line and

The light has deteriorated further, and it is now deemed insufficient for play to continue. STUMPS have been called on Day 1. End of a truncated day, where we saw 30 overs of attritional cricket. After being reduced to 10/2 within the first 7 overs, Bangladesh will be relieved that no further casualties followed. On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed with their performance, having dropped 3 catches and failing to claim more than 2 wickets despite bowler-friendly conditions.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He mentions that the conditions have improved significantly, and we are now good to go. Mentions that the deck has a nice, even covering of grass, but there is a bit of patchiness at one end. He anticipates some uneven bounce due to this. Badree points out that out of the last 10 Tests played at this venue, only one match has ended in a draw. States that pacers have been dominant at this venue and with both sides having quality pace attacks, it wil

The skipper of the West Indies, Kraigg Brathwaite, has achieved a remarkable milestone by eclipsing Sir Garfield Sobers for the most consecutive Test appearances (86th Test in a row) for the West Indies. When asked about the achievement, he replies that he wants to inspire as many people as he can to play the sport.

The captain of Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan says that they will bat first. Feels that this is a good wicket. Informs that they have made two changes with Shadman Islam coming in for Zakir Hasan and Nahid Rana replacing Shoriful Islam.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Mehidy Hasan(C), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das, Jaker Ali, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana.

We are done with all the pre-match rituals and we're all set for the start of play!

We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, the two teams will line up for the national anthems.

We are back.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

There has been enough assistance in the wicket, even as the ball aged, to keep the pacers interested. However, a total of 164 is far from justifiable on this surface. The Bangladeshi pacers will need to emulate the discipline of their West Indian counterparts by consistently hitting the right areas and forcing the batters to play in order to induce false shots. Their pace attack was one of the few positives from their defeat in North Sound, and the visitors will be banking on them to claw their

A superlative bowling effort from the West Indies has seen Bangladesh bowled out for 164! Jayden Seales led the hosts off the field, earning well-deserved applause for his outstanding performance. Seales was relentless with his line and length, consistently creating opportunities and maintaining pressure. It was a collective effort from the Windies pacers, who capitalised on helpful conditions to keep Bangladesh's batting in check. For Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain's gritty 64 and Mehidy Hasan's

Jayden Seales to Nahid Rana, ! CLEANED HIM UP! Seales bowls it full this time, attacking the stumps, Nahid Rana stays rooted to the crease, expecting a short ball. Gets his bat out in front to cover the line. Gets squared up as the ball nips away off the deck to go past the outside edge and pegs back the leg stump. Seales ends with figures of 15.5-10-5-4.

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

At that point, it seemed like Bangladesh being bowled out before Lunch was a real possibility. However, Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam, despite not looking entirely convincing, managed to survive the onslaught. They held their ground while Seales and Shamar were breathing fire and kept the West Indies attack at bay. Mehidy will need to bat really well with the tail to get the tourists to a decent enough total, but it won't be easy, as the Windies' pace attack will be raring to go after the Lunch

However, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph quickly found their rhythm and triggered a collapse for the tourists. Out of the four wickets that fell in the session, some were down to unforced errors, while others came as a result of tight, disciplined bowling that forced mistakes from the Bangladeshi batters. Seales, who has bowled his heart out, has just one wicket to his name so far, but his consistent pressure at one end allowed Joseph to capitalize at the other. Joseph's excellent spell saw him

SESSION SUMMARY - 28 overs, 53 runs and 4 wickets. After the disappointment of the dropped catches on the opening day, the first session on Day 2 has turned out to be an ideal one for the West Indies. It was a steady start for the tourists as Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain picked up where they left off, leaving the balls well and capitalizing whenever the West Indies pacers erred on the fuller side. From the hosts' perspective, they began the day with Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph operatin

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He says that it is a humid day with not much breeze blowing across the ground due to the buildings surrounding the stadium. Mentions that only 12 per cent of the balls from the Windies seamers were hitting the stumps on the opening day. Adds that they have been fuller as compared to the first Test to get the lateral movement. Courtney Walsh joins him and he feels that the adjustment made by the seamers was good to see and their lines were immaculat

Unlike the surface in North Sound, this pitch has lacked bounce, with deliveries often carrying at ankle height to keeper Joshua Da Silva. Occasionally, though, the odd ball has kicked off a length, making it vital for Bangladesh to post a competitive first-innings score. For the West Indies, the early morning conditions could provide an edge, and they will aim to exploit the moisture to push the visitors on the back foot. Play will start 15 minutes early to make up for lost time, with the first

On Day 1, Bangladesh opted to bat after winning the toss but were pegged back by Kemar Roach’s twin strikes. Shadman Islam stepped up with a steady half-century, and his partnership with Shahadat Hossain ensured that they ended the day on a positive note at 69/2. The Windies' pacers were disciplined, but they were not backed up by the fielders, with as many as 3 catches going down. If those catches had been taken, who knows, the tourists might be even 4 or 5 wickets down by the close of play

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica! Test cricket returned to this venue after three years, but rain in the lead-up caused a wet outfield, pushing the start by five hours and allowing only 30 overs on the opening day. As far as Day 2 is concerned, showers are forecasted for the afternoon, but let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope the rain stays away so we can get as close to the scheduled 98 overs as p

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, this has been a cagey start to the Test. The pacers were expected to dominate at this venue, and there has certainly been enough assistance for them to keep the batters on edge. If not for the dropped catches, Bangladesh might not be feeling as comfortable as they are at the moment. It will be about starting all over again for Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam as they look to build on their solid foundations and ensure they make the opportunities given to them count. Given that we c

Kemar Roach comes in for a quick chat. He says that he stayed relaxed during the day with the boys in the dressing room. Shares that he had a chat with the umpires and got to know about the start of play so got himself ready to bowl. Further mentions that bowling in the first Test gave him enough experience to bowl to the Bangladesh batters and tried to just challenge them on the front foot and keep testing the batters in and around off. Tells that consistency is key in bowling and controlling

Shahadat Hossain was also dropped once and, unlike his partner, did not look as convincing, but he did enough to see out the day, especially as the light began to fade during the final few overs. Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Justin Greaves all had chances put down off their bowling, which will be disappointing for the West Indies, given the bowler-friendly conditions they were operating in.

Earlier, rain in the days leading up to the game resulted in a wet outfield, causing the match to begin five hours past its scheduled time. At the toss, Bangladesh won the coin flip, with Mehidy Hasan choosing to bat first. Due to the late start, there wasn’t much moisture in the surface, but the ball nipped around just enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach, as he has so often done, set the tone by accounting for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mominul Haque with his probing line and

The light has deteriorated further, and it is now deemed insufficient for play to continue. STUMPS have been called on Day 1. End of a truncated day, where we saw 30 overs of attritional cricket. After being reduced to 10/2 within the first 7 overs, Bangladesh will be relieved that no further casualties followed. On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed with their performance, having dropped 3 catches and failing to claim more than 2 wickets despite bowler-friendly conditions.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He mentions that the conditions have improved significantly, and we are now good to go. Mentions that the deck has a nice, even covering of grass, but there is a bit of patchiness at one end. He anticipates some uneven bounce due to this. Badree points out that out of the last 10 Tests played at this venue, only one match has ended in a draw. States that pacers have been dominant at this venue and with both sides having quality pace attacks, it wil

The skipper of the West Indies, Kraigg Brathwaite, has achieved a remarkable milestone by eclipsing Sir Garfield Sobers for the most consecutive Test appearances (86th Test in a row) for the West Indies. When asked about the achievement, he replies that he wants to inspire as many people as he can to play the sport.

The captain of Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan says that they will bat first. Feels that this is a good wicket. Informs that they have made two changes with Shadman Islam coming in for Zakir Hasan and Nahid Rana replacing Shoriful Islam.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Mehidy Hasan(C), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das, Jaker Ali, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana.

We are done with all the pre-match rituals and we're all set for the start of play!

We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, the two teams will line up for the national anthems.

We are back.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

There has been enough assistance in the wicket, even as the ball aged, to keep the pacers interested. However, a total of 164 is far from justifiable on this surface. The Bangladeshi pacers will need to emulate the discipline of their West Indian counterparts by consistently hitting the right areas and forcing the batters to play in order to induce false shots. Their pace attack was one of the few positives from their defeat in North Sound, and the visitors will be banking on them to claw their

A superlative bowling effort from the West Indies has seen Bangladesh bowled out for 164! Jayden Seales led the hosts off the field, earning well-deserved applause for his outstanding performance. Seales was relentless with his line and length, consistently creating opportunities and maintaining pressure. It was a collective effort from the Windies pacers, who capitalised on helpful conditions to keep Bangladesh's batting in check. For Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain's gritty 64 and Mehidy Hasan's

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

At that point, it seemed like Bangladesh being bowled out before Lunch was a real possibility. However, Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam, despite not looking entirely convincing, managed to survive the onslaught. They held their ground while Seales and Shamar were breathing fire and kept the West Indies attack at bay. Mehidy will need to bat really well with the tail to get the tourists to a decent enough total, but it won't be easy, as the Windies' pace attack will be raring to go after the Lunch

However, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph quickly found their rhythm and triggered a collapse for the tourists. Out of the four wickets that fell in the session, some were down to unforced errors, while others came as a result of tight, disciplined bowling that forced mistakes from the Bangladeshi batters. Seales, who has bowled his heart out, has just one wicket to his name so far, but his consistent pressure at one end allowed Joseph to capitalize at the other. Joseph's excellent spell saw him

SESSION SUMMARY - 28 overs, 53 runs and 4 wickets. After the disappointment of the dropped catches on the opening day, the first session on Day 2 has turned out to be an ideal one for the West Indies. It was a steady start for the tourists as Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain picked up where they left off, leaving the balls well and capitalizing whenever the West Indies pacers erred on the fuller side. From the hosts' perspective, they began the day with Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph operatin

Drinks break! This has been an eventful passage of play, and it has gone in favor of the West Indies. Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam started the day confidently and were largely untroubled, but their troubles began once Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales were introduced into the attack. Both seamers bowled full and made a conscious effort to make the batters play, reaping the rewards. Shamar's twin strikes and Seales' wicket have seen Bangladesh slip from 83/2 to 98/5.

Here we go!

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He says that it is a humid day with not much breeze blowing across the ground due to the buildings surrounding the stadium. Mentions that only 12 per cent of the balls from the Windies seamers were hitting the stumps on the opening day. Adds that they have been fuller as compared to the first Test to get the lateral movement. Courtney Walsh joins him and he feels that the adjustment made by the seamers was good to see and their lines were immaculat

Unlike the surface in North Sound, this pitch has lacked bounce, with deliveries often carrying at ankle height to keeper Joshua Da Silva. Occasionally, though, the odd ball has kicked off a length, making it vital for Bangladesh to post a competitive first-innings score. For the West Indies, the early morning conditions could provide an edge, and they will aim to exploit the moisture to push the visitors on the back foot. Play will start 15 minutes early to make up for lost time, with the first

On Day 1, Bangladesh opted to bat after winning the toss but were pegged back by Kemar Roach’s twin strikes. Shadman Islam stepped up with a steady half-century, and his partnership with Shahadat Hossain ensured that they ended the day on a positive note at 69/2. The Windies' pacers were disciplined, but they were not backed up by the fielders, with as many as 3 catches going down. If those catches had been taken, who knows, the tourists might be even 4 or 5 wickets down by the close of play

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica! Test cricket returned to this venue after three years, but rain in the lead-up caused a wet outfield, pushing the start by five hours and allowing only 30 overs on the opening day. As far as Day 2 is concerned, showers are forecasted for the afternoon, but let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope the rain stays away so we can get as close to the scheduled 98 overs as p

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, this has been a cagey start to the Test. The pacers were expected to dominate at this venue, and there has certainly been enough assistance for them to keep the batters on edge. If not for the dropped catches, Bangladesh might not be feeling as comfortable as they are at the moment. It will be about starting all over again for Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam as they look to build on their solid foundations and ensure they make the opportunities given to them count. Given that we c

Kemar Roach comes in for a quick chat. He says that he stayed relaxed during the day with the boys in the dressing room. Shares that he had a chat with the umpires and got to know about the start of play so got himself ready to bowl. Further mentions that bowling in the first Test gave him enough experience to bowl to the Bangladesh batters and tried to just challenge them on the front foot and keep testing the batters in and around off. Tells that consistency is key in bowling and controlling

Shahadat Hossain was also dropped once and, unlike his partner, did not look as convincing, but he did enough to see out the day, especially as the light began to fade during the final few overs. Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Justin Greaves all had chances put down off their bowling, which will be disappointing for the West Indies, given the bowler-friendly conditions they were operating in.

Earlier, rain in the days leading up to the game resulted in a wet outfield, causing the match to begin five hours past its scheduled time. At the toss, Bangladesh won the coin flip, with Mehidy Hasan choosing to bat first. Due to the late start, there wasn’t much moisture in the surface, but the ball nipped around just enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach, as he has so often done, set the tone by accounting for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mominul Haque with his probing line and

The light has deteriorated further, and it is now deemed insufficient for play to continue. STUMPS have been called on Day 1. End of a truncated day, where we saw 30 overs of attritional cricket. After being reduced to 10/2 within the first 7 overs, Bangladesh will be relieved that no further casualties followed. On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed with their performance, having dropped 3 catches and failing to claim more than 2 wickets despite bowler-friendly conditions.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He mentions that the conditions have improved significantly, and we are now good to go. Mentions that the deck has a nice, even covering of grass, but there is a bit of patchiness at one end. He anticipates some uneven bounce due to this. Badree points out that out of the last 10 Tests played at this venue, only one match has ended in a draw. States that pacers have been dominant at this venue and with both sides having quality pace attacks, it wil

The skipper of the West Indies, Kraigg Brathwaite, has achieved a remarkable milestone by eclipsing Sir Garfield Sobers for the most consecutive Test appearances (86th Test in a row) for the West Indies. When asked about the achievement, he replies that he wants to inspire as many people as he can to play the sport.

The captain of Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan says that they will bat first. Feels that this is a good wicket. Informs that they have made two changes with Shadman Islam coming in for Zakir Hasan and Nahid Rana replacing Shoriful Islam.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Mehidy Hasan(C), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das, Jaker Ali, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite(C), Mikyle Louis, Keacy Carty, Kavem Hodge, Alick Athanaze, Justin Greaves, Joshua Da Silva(WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph. 

We are done with all the pre-match rituals and we're all set for the start of play!

We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, the two teams will line up for the national anthems.

We are back.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

There has been enough assistance in the wicket, even as the ball aged, to keep the pacers interested. However, a total of 164 is far from justifiable on this surface. The Bangladeshi pacers will need to emulate the discipline of their West Indian counterparts by consistently hitting the right areas and forcing the batters to play in order to induce false shots. Their pace attack was one of the few positives from their defeat in North Sound, and the visitors will be banking on them to claw their

A superlative bowling effort from the West Indies has seen Bangladesh bowled out for 164! Jayden Seales led the hosts off the field, earning well-deserved applause for his outstanding performance. Seales was relentless with his line and length, consistently creating opportunities and maintaining pressure. It was a collective effort from the Windies pacers, who capitalised on helpful conditions to keep Bangladesh's batting in check. For Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain's gritty 64 and Mehidy Hasan's

Jayden Seales to Nahid Rana, ! CLEANED HIM UP! Seales bowls it full this time, attacking the stumps, Nahid Rana stays rooted to the crease, expecting a short ball.

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

At that point, it seemed like Bangladesh being bowled out before Lunch was a real possibility. However, Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam, despite not looking entirely convincing, managed to survive the onslaught. They held their ground while Seales and Shamar were breathing fire and kept the West Indies attack at bay. Mehidy will need to bat really well with the tail to get the tourists to a decent enough total, but it won't be easy, as the Windies' pace attack will be raring to go after the Lunch

However, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph quickly found their rhythm and triggered a collapse for the tourists. Out of the four wickets that fell in the session, some were down to unforced errors, while others came as a result of tight, disciplined bowling that forced mistakes from the Bangladeshi batters. Seales, who has bowled his heart out, has just one wicket to his name so far, but his consistent pressure at one end allowed Joseph to capitalize at the other. Joseph's excellent spell saw him

SESSION SUMMARY - 28 overs, 53 runs and 4 wickets. After the disappointment of the dropped catches on the opening day, the first session on Day 2 has turned out to be an ideal one for the West Indies. It was a steady start for the tourists as Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain picked up where they left off, leaving the balls well and capitalizing whenever the West Indies pacers erred on the fuller side. From the hosts' perspective, they began the day with Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph operatin

Drinks break! This has been an eventful passage of play, and it has gone in favor of the West Indies. Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam started the day confidently and were largely untroubled, but their troubles began once Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales were introduced into the attack. Both seamers bowled full and made a conscious effort to make the batters play, reaping the rewards. Shamar's twin strikes and Seales' wicket have seen Bangladesh slip from 83/2 to 98/5.

Here we go!

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the deck. He says that it is a humid day with not much breeze blowing across the ground due to the buildings surrounding the stadium. Mentions that only 12 per cent of the balls from the Windies seamers were hitting the stumps on the opening day. Adds that they have been fuller as compared to the first Test to get the lateral movement. Courtney Walsh joins him and he feels that the adjustment made by the seamers was good to see and their lines were immaculat

Unlike the surface in North Sound, this pitch has lacked bounce, with deliveries often carrying at ankle height to keeper Joshua Da Silva. Occasionally, though, the odd ball has kicked off a length, making it vital for Bangladesh to post a competitive first-innings score. For the West Indies, the early morning conditions could provide an edge, and they will aim to exploit the moisture to push the visitors on the back foot. Play will start 15 minutes early to make up for lost time, with the first

On Day 1, Bangladesh opted to bat after winning the toss but were pegged back by Kemar Roach’s twin strikes. Shadman Islam stepped up with a steady half-century, and his partnership with Shahadat Hossain ensured that they ended the day on a positive note at 69/2. The Windies' pacers were disciplined, but they were not backed up by the fielders, with as many as 3 catches going down. If those catches had been taken, who knows, the tourists might be even 4 or 5 wickets down by the close of play

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica! Test cricket returned to this venue after three years, but rain in the lead-up caused a wet outfield, pushing the start by five hours and allowing only 30 overs on the opening day. As far as Day 2 is concerned, showers are forecasted for the afternoon, but let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope the rain stays away so we can get as close to the scheduled 98 overs as p

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, this has been a cagey start to the Test. The pacers were expected to dominate at this venue, and there has certainly been enough assistance for them to keep the batters on edge. If not for the dropped catches, Bangladesh might not be feeling as comfortable as they are at the moment. It will be about starting all over again for Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam as they look to build on their solid foundations and ensure they make the opportunities given to them count. Given that we c

Kemar Roach comes in for a quick chat. He says that he stayed relaxed during the day with the boys in the dressing room. Shares that he had a chat with the umpires and got to know about the start of play so got himself ready to bowl. Further mentions that bowling in the first Test gave him enough experience to bowl to the Bangladesh batters and tried to just challenge them on the front foot and keep testing the batters in and around off. Tells that consistency is key in bowling and controlling

Shahadat Hossain was also dropped once and, unlike his partner, did not look as convincing, but he did enough to see out the day, especially as the light began to fade during the final few overs. Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Justin Greaves all had chances put down off their bowling, which will be disappointing for the West Indies, given the bowler-friendly conditions they were operating in.

Earlier, rain in the days leading up to the game resulted in a wet outfield, causing the match to begin five hours past its scheduled time. At the toss, Bangladesh won the coin flip, with Mehidy Hasan choosing to bat first. Due to the late start, there wasn’t much moisture in the surface, but the ball nipped around just enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach, as he has so often done, set the tone by accounting for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mominul Haque with his probing line and

The light has deteriorated further, and it is now deemed insufficient for play to continue. STUMPS have been called on Day 1. End of a truncated day, where we saw 30 overs of attritional cricket. After being reduced to 10/2 within the first 7 overs, Bangladesh will be relieved that no further casualties followed. On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed with their performance, having dropped 3 catches and failing to claim more than 2 wickets despite bowler-friendly conditions.
