Bangladesh on top of West Indies in second test

Rain took a sizeable chunk out of the day, but Bangladesh still held all the aces with West Indies wobbly on 192 for eight in their second innings in the second and final Test yesterday.

The Bangladesh spinners continued to torment the West Indies' batsmen, and the home team could only extend


their lead to 197 in the time available on the third day at the Queen's Park Stadium Complex.




The Tigers' spinners applied the pressure throughout the truncated day and the West Indies' batsmen except for birthday boy Dave Bernard Jr cracked.

Shakib Al Hasan has been Bangladesh's most successful bowler with four wickets for 61 runs from 22 overs, and fellow left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr has taken two for 42 from 15 overs.

But the Bangladeshis found Bernard hard to dislodge, and he reached 50 for the third time in the series, when he swung his 56th ball from Enamul over mid-wicket for his sixth four.
