- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 huge shout, and the finger goes up! Bangladesh finally have something to show for their toil! The classic one-two. The short ball followed by something much fuller and attacking the stumps. This pitches just outside off and nips back in sharply. Brathwaite, without a great stride forward, goes fencing at it in front of his pad and leaves a gap. The ball breezes through and kisses his back thigh. Seemed pretty out but Brathwaite has taken it upstairs. Bounce is the only thing that could save him. No bat involved, as expected. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and....it returns with the ball hitting the top of off stump. Umpire's Call on Impact, meaning Kumar Dharmasena's decision stands, and the West Indies captain has to walk back! 25/174.2 edged and gone! Louis falls agonizingly short of his maiden Test ton and the disappointment is clear and etched on his face! Dangles the carrot outside off and Louis, who has been huffing and puffing in the nineties for a while, bites. Hares down the track and tries to smash it into the ocean. All he manages is an outside edge that is gobbled up smartly at slip by Shahadat Hossain. Applause from those at the ground and from the West Indian dressing room. This was a top knock, but without the fairy tale ending it warranted. Louis will have to wait for his first Test hundred! 224/415.5 the softest of dismissals! Taskin goes back-to-back! Slanted in on a length on the stumps. Carty, feeling the pinch to get off the mark, tries to work it to leg. The ball, though, sticks in the surface just enough. He plays too early and chips it straight to Taijul, who was prowling in the mid on region. West Indies in a spot of bother! 25/237.3 is that a run out? Against the run of play! The throw from fine leg was low and flat, and Litton had his hands close to the stumps. The moment he grabbed it, he whipped the bails off, and Hodge has to go! He tried to take two after pulling a shot towards fine leg but misjudged Taijul's speed and the power behind his throw! The dive couldn't save him either 84/377.4 oh dear - another West Indian batter falls short of a deserving hundred! Tossed up a touch on a length just outside off. Athanaze looks for the fine paddle-sweep but the lack of pace leads to his undoing. Gets a bit of a top edge and the ball spoons up. The easiest of catches for Litton Das, and just like that, Bangladesh have sent both set batters back to the shed! 228/5Extras9 (b 6, lb 3)TOTAL250/5 (84 Overs, RR: 2.97)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Kraigg Brathwaite, 13.3 ov), 2-25 (Keacy Carty, 15.5 ov), 3-84 (Kavem Hodge, 37.3 ov), 4-224 (Mikyle Louis, 74.2 ov), 5-228 (Alick Athanaze, 77.4 ov)
