Twitter/ ICC
PREVIEW: Kraigg Brathwaite's 110 helped the Windies on their way to an excellent first day total of 295/4, as Bangladesh struggled to find the form that also proved elusive in the first Test. The hosts reached stumps knowing that they had the ascendancy going into day two. Brathwaite's patient, diligent knock earlier in the day was the perfect platform for the home side, and his 109-run partnership with Hetmyer could prove pivotal in this decisive Test.
Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl, eliminating any chance of last week's horror-show from happening again. Kraigg Brathwaite and Devon Smith began cautiously as Shakib Al Hasan opted to open up with spin. The tourists were rewarded for their unorthodox ploy when Smith (2) mistimed a leg-side flick to Mehedi Hasan and Taijul Islam scooped the catch from short-leg, leaving the hosts slumped on 9/1.
Kieran Powell joined the fold and began positively, hitting four boundaries on his way to 29 before that man Hasan notched his second scalp, pinning the batsman on his pads lbw with a sliding delivery that would have been plumb.
Windies reached the break at 79/2 having faced an impressive 35 overs in one session, 33 of those being spin.
Brathwaite continued after the interval in much the same fashion as he had begun his innings, blocking and leaving to his heart’s content to protect his wicket against the spinners. Shai Hope batted valiantly for his 29 from 79, before spin once again was the Windies’ foe. Left-arm tweaker Taijul Islam (1/65) got one to jump and grip a little, catching Hope’s glove and ballooning into the fielder’s hands.
At 138/3, Bangladesh had just about evened proceedings having broken the vital Hope/ Brathwaite partnership. The latter stoically batted on up to the tea break with Shimron Hetmyer, and the pair guided the hosts to 164/3.
Hetmyer, a natural aggressor, rotated strike with aplomb, and looked incredibly assured on his return to the Test line-up. He was dropped on 31 by Liton Das in the slips, but bar that close call, he was excellent for his unbeaten knock of 84, smashing some fantastic shots all around the park and really accelerating into the evening session.
Brathwaite refused to lose focus throughout his quest to three figures, and he finally brought up his ton from 259 deliveries. It was properly concentrated, gritty, impressive Test batting, and it was his second consecutive Test hundred. Shakib (0/51), Abu Jayed (0/22), Kamrul Islam (0/22) and Mahmudullah (0/20) all toiled away to no avail on a day of few chances in Kingston.
Brathwaite eventually fell for 110 to Hasan, who picked up his third key wicket late in the day, tempting the Windies batsman to a big, uncharacteristic heave that landed in Islam's hands at mid-wicket.
Roston Chase batted through until close unbeaten on 16, while the hugely impressive Hetmyer concluded proceedings on 84* from 98, having hit nine fours and a six.

101.6 T Islam to Holder, Edged but runs! Nicely bowled by Taijul. He floats it up outside off, the batsman goes for the booming drive through the off side.

98.1 Abu Jayed to Chase, OUT! Three reds and another one bites the dust! Both the overnight batsmen have now been dismissed. On top of that, Windies also lose a review. It is once again Abu Jayed who has struck. One would wonder why didn't he bowl more yesterday. Nevertheless, the Bangladesh players are all pumped up at the moment. This is bowled on a length around off, comes back in after pitching. Chase tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Chase walks upto his partner and after a chat goes for the review. Replays show no inside edge and Hawk Eye shows three reds. 302/6
The question is asked for an LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Chase is the man in question as he signals for the 'T'. Looks close.
97.6 Al Hasan to Chase, Driven through mid off by the batsman. They pick up a single. 302/5
97.5 Al Hasan to Dowrich, Almost another one! This is bowled close to the leg pole. Dowrich goes down on one knee and tries to sweep. The ball stays a touch low which beats the bat of Shane. It goes agonizingly close past the leg pole and also between the keeper's legs for a bye. 301/5

Shane Dowrich is the new man in.
94.5 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! No hundred for Hetmyer as Abu Jayed provides the ideal start for the visitors. Excellent delivery this. He lands it on a length around off, he bends his back on this one as it takes off after pitching. Also straightens a touch. Hetmyer tries to defend it off the back foot but the ball kisses the outside edge and goes into the mitts of the keeper. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Hetmyer walks back dejected but he has played a very good hand for his team. Half the side now back in the hut for the hosts. 297/5
94.4 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, Beauty! The change of angle almost does the trick. The bowler goes around the wicket and angles it into the batsman. Hetmyer has to play at it and he does so with a forward defense. The ball pitches and then moves away beating the outside edge. 297/4
94.3 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, Once again the delivery stays a touch low! On a length around off, Hetmyer pushes it to mid off. 297/4

92.6 Abu Jayed to R Chase, Just one from the first over! This is bowled on a back of a length around off, Chase guides it to point. 296/4
92.5 Abu Jayed to Chase, This one stays a little low! There were some cracks on the wicket and that must have pitched on one of them. However, the batsman need not worry as it was not on the stumps. Outside off, Chase makes a leave. 296/4

We are all set for the action to begin. Out come the Bangladesh players and they are followed by Roston Chase and Shimron Hetmyer who will resume their innings. The latter will be on strike and he will be facing Abu Jayed who will start the proceedings for the visitors. Here we go...
Bangladesh on the other hand, will hope for a few quick wickets. It will once again be their spinners who will do the majority of the bowling today. The wicket did provide assistance to them yesterday and Shakib will hope it does today as well, so that his bowlers can make full use of it. Will we see a fightback from the visitors or will the hosts continue their domination? Stay tuned for the all-important first session in a while. Welcome to the coverage.
Day 2 of the second Test between Windies and Bangladesh. The hosts dominated the proceedings on Day 1 and today they will look to tighten their grip on the game. They are 5 runs short of 300 and have six wickets in hand. The platform is set for them to post a big first innings score and that is exactly what they will be hoping for.
... Day 2, Session 1 ...
Three consecutive fifty-plus stands after the fall of an early wicket has meant that the home side continue to sail on. There have been moments of exhilaration for Bangladesh but not enough to put any pressure on the opposition. The visitors for a change need to be on fire on the morning of Day 2 and trigger a collapse or else it will be the Windies who will keep on hogging the limelight. Join us on Friday at 1000 Local (1500 GMT) to catch all the action. Till then, cheers!
Shakib Al Hasan showed much more faith in his spinners in this game. That owes to a couple of factors - there were a few cracks on this surface as well as some extra bounce on offer and the other point is that spin is their major strength. It was Mehidy Hasan who utilized the conditions to the optimum to pick up three wickets. He could have had a couple more had his fielders given him proper support. The rest of the bowlers were not consistent enough. Taijul Islam did send the centurion back but he was a little wayward overall.
Final session - 27 overs, 131 runs, 1 wicket. The most productive phase of play for the Windies in terms of runs. Sums up the day nicely for the hosts and they are right on top at the moment. Kraigg Brathwaite continued to be solid as a rock after Tea and scored a well-deserved ton. Shimron Hetmyer played the perfect foil to him. The youngster showed intent, played some eye-catching strokes and has given his side a really nice foundation, also nearing his maiden ton in Tests.
91.6 Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, Mahmudullah drags his length back. Hetmyer camps back and punches it to sweeper cover for a single. THAT'S STUMPS ON DAY 1! 295/4
91.5 Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, Gives this one a lot of air as Shimron leans ahead and taps it to mid off. 294/4

91.3 Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, Nicely bowled! Slow through the air, Hetmyer leans ahead to defend but the ball whizzes past the outside edge of his bat. 292/4
91.2 Mahmudullah to S Hetmyer, Outside off, pushed to covers. 292/4
91.1 Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, That is close! Coming in with the arm as Hetmyer is on the move as he tries to play it defensively but the ball goes off something towards the keeper. The ball slips out of his hand and hence, he can't effect a stumping. The ball rolls beside the stumps as Nurul Hasan appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Seems like it might be going down the leg side and hence, they don't take the review. The replays show that the ball struck the front boot of the batsman but it was missing the leg stump. 292/4
Mahmudullah returns at the fag end of the day. He has one over to create some impact.
90.6 T Islam to Chase, Slow through the air, Chase plays it with an angled blade past gully and comes back for a brace. 292/4

90.3 T Islam to Chase, A touch quicker on off, eased off the front foot to mid off. 290/4

89.5 M Hasan to Hetmyer, The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot. They pick up a single. 289/4
89.4 M Hasan to Hetmyer, Not where he intended but a fair enough result. A wider ball outside off, Hetmyer goes after it and slashes it but gets it off the outer half of the bat. The ball goes towards sweeper cover and a couple of runs result. 288/4
89.3 M Hasan to R Chase, Very full delivery, knocked down through mid on for a run. 286/4
89.2 M Hasan to Hetmyer, Outside off, eased to sweeper cover for a single. 285/4
89.1 M Hasan to Hetmyer, SIX! Clean as a whistle! He is looking like he belongs at the highest level. He spots Mehidy giving the ball a lot of air and steps out of the crease at the right moment. A nice extension of the arms, a lovely followthrough of the bat as he lifts this one with beautiful timing. Away she goes down the ground. She is going, going and clears the fence with ease. First maximum of the game. 284/4
88.6 Al Hasan to Chase, FOUR! Crisp! Shakib bowls this one full outside off, inviting Chase for an expansive stroke. Roston obliges this time and creams it through covers to find the ropes. 278/4

87.4 M Hasan to Chase, Played with the spin to mid-wicket. 273/4
87.3 M Hasan to Hetmyer, What happened there? Is that a hit wicket? Probably not. Hetmyer punches this one through extra cover for a run but the a bail is out of place at his end. The fielder in the same region has his hands up but the keeper quickly points out that it's him. 273/4
87.2 M Hasan to Chase, Spinning into Chase who tucks it through mid-wicket to rotate strike. 272/4

Shakib Al Hasan comes back for his final spell of the day. Can he pick up a wicket?
85.6 M Hasan to R Chase, Tossed up ball, Chase milks it through mid on for a single. 264/4
85.5 M Hasan to Chase, FOUR! That could have been dangerous! Spinning down leg, Chase goes back and works it through fine leg. Abu Jayed runs across to his right, and tries to keep the ball in play with his foot but when he is in contact with the ball, his foot is already touching the ropes. He then loses his balance and crashes into the advertising boards. No harm done though. We saw Kusal Perera injuring himself in a similar way recently. Needs to be careful. 263/4
85.4 M Hasan to Chase, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. 259/4
85.3 M Hasan to Hetmyer, In line of the stumps, tucked through mid-wicket. The non-striker is waiting, waiting, waiting as he sees the fielder coming in but finally responds to the call of his partner. Single safely taken in the end. 259/4
85.2 M Hasan to Chase, Leg Bye! Spinning into Chase as he goes for the big sweep but the ball brushes his pads and rolls past the keeper. A run taken. 258/4
85.1 M Hasan to Chase, That was tantalizing for the batsman! Smart bowling from Mehidy. He gives this one a lot of air outside off and gets it to turn in appreciably. Chase leans ahead to defend but gets an inside edge onto his pads. The ball lobs up in the air but falls down on the pitch itself. 257/4
84.6 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, In the channel outside off, Shimron lets it go. 257/4
84.5 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, He needs to be careful not to get carried away! Full delivery wide outside off, Hetmyer goes after it but misses. 257/4
84.4 Abu Jayed to S Hetmyer, FOUR! Pulled and pulled with authority! This young man certainly packs a punch. Just a fraction short and that is all the youngster needs to line it up. Gets into the position quickly and hammer-pulls it through wide mid on for a rocketing boundary. 257/4
84.3 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, Comes around the wicket and bowls it on off, Hetmyer pushes it back to the bowler. 253/4
84.2 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, Good length on off, Hetmyer pushes it to covers. 253/4

83.6 M Hasan to Hetmyer, Outside off, Shimron leans ahead and eases it to covers. A productive over for Mehidy Hasan and Bangladesh. 252/4

83.4 M Hasan to Chase, The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. 251/4

Tossed up around off, takes off after pitching to go past the attempted push of the batsman. The ball goes over the stumps and the keeper is beaten as well as the ball rolls to the fence behind. 251/4
Roston Chase is the new man in.
83.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, OUT! GONE! One shot too many from Brathwaite and he loses his wicket. Nevertheless, a brilliant innings by the opener comes to an end. He walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd. The 109-run stand also comes to an end. Coming back to the ball, Brathwaite uses his feet, just like he did on the last delivery. Tries to go over mid-wicket just like he did on the last ball. This time though, he does not get the elevation and the ball goes towards Taijul Islam at short mid-wicket who takes it. Hasan gets his third and Bangladesh would hope they can take a few more before Stumps. 247/4
83.1 M Hasan to Brathwaite, FOUR! Once again effective use of the feet! He hits it with the spin over the mid-wicket region and into the fence. 247/3
Time for spin again as Mehidy Hasan to roll his arm over. He was productive with the new ball in the morning and will be aiming to be on the money once again.

On a driveable length, leaving the southpaw. He chases it with hard hands but the ball whizzes past the outside edge. 243/3

82.2 Abu Jayed to S Hetmyer, Well bowled! Almost got the better of Hetmyer there. Jayed steams in from around the wicket and bowls a full length ball around off. The ball swings in substantially. Shimron is a bit late to react but manages to jam it out towards mid on. 243/3

Kamrul Islam to share the second new ball from the other end.
80.6 Abu Jayed to Hetmyer, FOUR! 2nd Test fifty for Shimron Hetmyer! The youngster has been positive from the word go and has played an entertaining innings. Full length ball well outside off, Hetmyer slices it behind backward point and the ball races to the fence. Has a big smile on his face and is applauded by his teammates in the pavilion. 235/3
Kamrul Islam is warming up.
80.5 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Similar length ball in the same zone, placed nicely through cover-point for a run. 231/3

77.5 Mahmudullah to Hetmyer, Flatter on off, Hetmyer pushes it through covers and takes a run. 223/3
77.4 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Century for Brathwaite! Consecutive ones for him. He becomes the first Windies batsman to do so since 2009. His 8th in this format. A innings full of temperament, application and determination. He has rode his luck but take nothing away from the way he has played. He taps this delivery towards point and gets to the other end. Takes his helmet off and acknowledges the applause from the crowd and his teammates. He would now want to make it a daddy hundred. 222/3

76.5 T Islam to Hetmyer, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot. 217/3
76.4 Islam to Brathwaite, A huge appeal by the keeper! The arm ball on off, Brathwaite guides it towards point and moves onto 99. The keeper appeals as he feels it is pad first but the umpire is not interested. Now then, Bangladesh have missed a chance here. Hawk Eye shows that was pad first and also three reds which means the on-field call would have been overturned. Once again luck favoring the Windies and Brathwaite. 217/3
76.3 T Islam to Brathwaite, TWO Byes! A beauty there by Islam! He angles this on middle and then gets it to turn square. Brathwaite tries to flick but misses. The ball beats the keeper and hits the hand of the diving slip fielder and goes down towards fine leg. The batsmen run two. 216/3

73.1 K Islam to Brathwaite, A good start by the pacer! Comes running in and lands it around off, this one shapes away. Brathwaite pokes at it and gets beaten. 199/3

69.1 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Brilliant running between the wickets! Sliding down the leg side with the arm, Brathwaite tickles it past the keeper as the fielder chases it. Hetmyer calls his partner for the third run and is lightning quick between the wickets to complete it. Good game awareness. Kraigg is on 87 now, a number which is considered the devil's number. Can it work in favour of Bangladesh? 192/3
Shakib Al Hasan returns for a bowl.
68.6 M Hasan to Hetmyer, Another appeal! Strange by Hetmyer. He walks down the track but does not get to the pitch of it. He then thinks about leaving it as he tries to make his way back in the crease. The ball brushes his pads and goes into the mitts of the keeper who whips the bails off and starts appealing for something. Not sure for what, maybe the LBW. The umpire though is unmoved as the impact was way outside. End of an action-packed over. 189/3
68.5 M Hasan to Hetmyer, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. 189/3
68.4 M Hasan to Hetmyer, Fires it on off, SH pushes it to covers. 189/3
68.3 M Hasan to Hetmyer, DROPPED! Tough chance this one! Mehidy could have easily had two in his last 4 deliveries. But as they say, when it is not going your way, it just won't. Hasan tosses it up on off, this one also turns away sharply. Hetmyer goes for the booming drive but the ball takes the outside edge and goes towards first slip. Liton Das there dives to his left, gets fingertips to it but can't hang on. The batsmen take two. Also, the third consecutive 50-run stand is up for the Windies in this innings. 189/3
68.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Works it with the turn towards mid-wicket for a run. 187/3

67.1 T Islam to Hetmyer, Uses his feet and drives it to mid off. 178/3
66.6 M Hasan to Brathwaite, A stumping chance goes abegging! Brathwaite gets a life. Bangladesh needed to take that chance. Mehidy is very unlucky there. This was beautifully bowled. Flighted delivery outside off, inviting the batsman to drive. Kraigg does so but the ball turns back in sharply. The ball goes between bat and pad and just over the stumps. Brathwaite also drags his back leg out of the crease but to his luck, the keeper fails to collect it. To add salt to the wound, the ball races to the fine leg fence for FOUR BYES. How costly is this going to be? 178/3

65.1 T Islam to Hetmyer, FOUR! Ideal start to this session for the Windies. A gift, a half-tracker outside off, Hetmyer cuts it through point and bags himself a boundary. 168/3
We are back for the final session. Due to the good over rate we have only 25 overs left in the day's play. So we aren't in for a long one. Brathwaite and Hetmyer resume their innings. The latter will take strike and he will be facing Taijul Islam who will start the proceedings. Here we go...
... Day 1, Session 3 ...
However, Brathwaite is going strong, is nearing a ton and is getting good company from the young Hetmyer. Though the track has eased out a bit, there is still some sharp turn and extra bounce on certain occasions. The visitors need to utilize that properly and keep chipping away at the wickets. Otherwise, the hosts might run away with the show. Join us for the final session in a while.
Session Highlights - 30 overs, 85 runs, 1 wicket. The Windies have gone about their business pretty nicely and are placed in a comfortable position. However, Hope will be ruing the fact he didn't convert his start into a big one. Once you settle at the crease in the longest format of the game, you shouldn't throw your wicket away. Credit to Bangladesh for believing in themselves and it was Taijul who broke the 79-run stand.
64.6 M Hasan to Hetmyer, A half-volley outside off, Shimron leans ahead and caresses it through covers. Rahim gives it a long hard chase and manages to save a run for his side. Three runs taken. THAT SHALL BE TEA ON DAY 1! 164/3

63.6 T Islam to Hetmyer, On a flatter trajectory, Hetmyer knocks it down to long on for a run and will keep strike. 155/3

63.4 T Islam to Hetmyer, Four Byes! These are bonus runs for the Windies. Spinning down the leg side, Hetmyer is unsure whether to flick it or pull it. Tries to pull it away eventually but misses and so does the keeper. A boundary results. 154/3
63.3 T Islam to Hetmyer, Down the leg side, Shimron fails to put bat on ball. Once again, Nurul collects it and flicks the ball onto the stumps but no harm done. The ball deflects towards covers but the keeper runs after it to deny the overthrow. 150/3

60.5 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Streaky! Floated around off, Brathwaite plays for the turn and gets a faint outside edge past the keeper. A run taken. 147/3

60.2 Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, Slow through the air outside off, pushed gently to the cover region. 146/3

Shimron Hetmyer comes out to bat.
57.2 T Islam to S Hope, OUT! Big, big wicket for the visitors! They needed this badly and Taijul has come to their rescue. Islam tosses this one nicely around off and the ball is spinning away. Hope takes a long stride forward in order to block the ball but he is not quite to the pitch of it. The ball takes off after pitching, hits his gloves and lobs towards the vacant silly point region. Nurul Hasan behind the wickets is sharp as a hawk. He runs swiftly towards it and dives full length to catch it. The Bangladeshis appeal vociferously but Shai himself starts to walk. Good sportsmanship from him. The 79-run stand has been cut short. Can the tourists capitalize on this? 138/3
57.1 T Islam to Hope, Loopy delivery, defended solidly off the front foot. 138/2

54.6 Mahmudullah to Hope, Safe! The impact is outside off, clearly! A review goes down the drain for Bangladesh. Floated outside off, spinning in. Hope shuffles across in order to block it but is pinged on the pads. Mahmudullah appeals vociferously but the umpire stays put. The bowler has a chat with his skipper and Shakib decides to signal the 'T' after taking his time. Time for the replays. The Snicko doesn't detect any nick. The Hawk Eye rolls in and the impact is miles outside off, end of the story. 135/2
Finally some action happening for the visitors. The man in question is Brathwaite and the referral is against an LBW decision. Shakib thinks a lot about it and after a chat with Mahmudullah, takes the review. Seems that the impact is outside off.

53.4 T Islam to S Hope, Loopy delivery outside off, pushed off the front foot to covers. 134/2
53.3 T Islam to Brathwaite, Shorter in length, ample time for Kraigg to sit back and cut it towards point. A brisk run taken. 134/2

51.5 T Islam to Hope, Well outside off, Shai leaves it alone. 132/2
51.4 T Islam to Hope, Howzat? Probably not. Slow through the air on off, turning away. Hope leans ahead to defend but is beaten all ends up. Nurul Hasan is quick as lightning to take the bails off but Shai's back foot is firmly behind the crease it seems. The close-in fielders appeal but the square leg umpire doesn't refer it. Yes, the replays show that Hope is safe. 132/2
51.3 T Islam to Hope, A bit wider outside off, Hope lets it go. 132/2
51.2 T Islam to S Hope, Good timing! Pitched up delivery outside off, Hope leans into it and strokes it through extra cover. Two fielders, one from long off and another from sweeper cover are after it but the former reaches it eventually. A couple taken. 132/2
51.1 T Islam to K Brathwaite, Some turn and bounce for Taijul but Brathwaite deals with it quite nicely. Plays it with soft hands past the first slip fielder to get to the other end. 130/2

Only 11 overs have been bowled between the pacers till now but even in those 11 they haven't looked threatening.
Drinks! So the first hour after Lunch belongs to the Windies. The duo of Brathwaite and Hope has continued the good work and the two have now stitched a partnership in excess of 50. Windies will hope for the two to carry on. Whereas, the visitors will need to pick a few quick wickets.

45.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Overthrows! The ball is hit towards mid on and the batsmen set off for a run. The fielder there has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses. There is nobody backing up and the batsmen run two more. That brings up the 50-run stand between the two. Consecutive ones for the Windies in this innings. They though would hope these two can make it big. 110/2
45.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Full again and he gets some shape into the batsman. The line however is down the leg side. The batsman misses the flick to get hit on the pads. There is a stifled appeal from the players but nothing doing. 107/2
45.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Pitched up gentle ball outside off, Kraigg pats it towards mid off. 107/2
45.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, A bit of extra bounce there! Takes off from a length as Brathwaite is surprised. He manages to fend it off eventually. 107/2
44.6 K Islam to S Hope, The batsman has edged that one. 107/2
44.5 K Islam to Hope, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. 107/2
44.4 K Islam to Brathwaite, Fifty for Brathwaite! His 18th in this format. He continues his form against Bangladesh. Doesn't he love playing against them? His job though is yet not done. He would now want to convert it into a triple-digit score. He guides this length ball down to third man for a single to get to that milestone. 107/2

A halt in play! Some extra work for the fielders as they have to carry the advertising board and put it back behind the boundary. It was blown onto the field by the wind which is very strong at the moment.

37.4 Abu Jayed to Hope, Third leave of the over as once again it is bowled outside off. 84/2

We are set to get underway. Kraigg Brathwaite and Devon Smith to open the batting for the Windies. Abu Jayed to steam in with the new red cherry. Three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...
Windies skipper, Jason Holder says that they would have probably bowled first as well. Feels that the track is hard underneath. Adds that his batsmen need to survive the initial stages. Informs there are two changes - Keemo Paul, the debutant comes in place of Kemar Roach while Devendra Bishoo makes way for Shimron Hetmyer.
Bangladesh skipper, Shakib Al Hasan says that they are going to bowl first. Adds that there is moisture on it and expects his pace bowlers to make use of it. Informs there is one change as Taijul Islam comes in for Rubel Hossain. States that they are working very hard and is hopeful of putting in a much better performance.
Toss - Bangladesh win the toss and opt to field.
PITCH REPORT - Jeff Dujon assessing the surface says there is a good distribution of grass on it. Mentions that the nature of the grass is fresh and the track is very hard too. States that there are a few cracks on it but there will be a lot of pace and bounce on offer. Reckons that the spinners will come into play as the game progresses. Ends by saying that it will be a very important toss.
The Windies have decided to rest the belligerent Kemar Roach but they still have a pace battery which can cause havoc against top batsmen. They will be striving for another clinical performance but need to be wary as the tourists will be eager to strike back. An absorbing clash is in the making.
Clear blue skies welcome us at the Sabina Park in Jamaica as we head into the second and final Test of the series. The morale in the Windies camp will be at its peak whereas it will be low in the opposition camp. When the going gets tough, the tough get going - Bangladesh not only need to believe in that fact but have to lift themselves up as well. The experienced campaigners, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal need to emerge as the torch-bearers in order to guide their boys.
Mehidy Hasan to bowl from the other end.
35.6 Abu Jayed to Hope, Good length on off, kept out. A good start for the Windies after the break. 84/2
35.5 Abu Jayed to Hope, Very wide outside the off stump. The bowler wanted the batsman to go after it away from his body. Hope is happy to let it be. 84/2
35.4 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Goes full again but on the stumps this time. KB works it to mid on and sets off for a run. The fielder has a shy but misses. 84/2
35.3 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, FOUR! Streaky but effective! Full and outside off, Brathwaite tries to jam it out but the ball takes the outside edge and goes to the third man fence. First runs in this session and it is in the form of a boundary. 83/2
35.2 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Fuller in length again on off, the batsman defends it solidly. 79/2
35.1 Abu Jayed to Brathwaite, Starts off with a full ball on middle, this one comes back in a touch. Kraigg works it to square leg. 79/2
We are back for the afternoon session. 35 overs were bowled in the first one and we can expect a good over rate to be maintained in this one as well. Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope will continue their innings. The former will be on strike and he will be facing Abu Jayed who will start the proceedings for Bangladesh. Will he be given more than an over? We will have to wait to watch as he comes running in to bowl the first ball of this session.
... Day 1, Session 2 ...
The Windies would hope the two can now build a big partnership after Lunch. They though will have to tackle a lot of spin on a wicket which is providing assistance to the spinners. Bangladesh on the other hand, will look to make full use of the conditions and take some quick wickets. Join us for the second session in a while.
A mixed session is what we witnessed! After electing to bowl, the visitors struck early by removing Smith. Powell and Brathwaite then steadied the ship with a fifty-run stand. The former once again perished after getting a start. He fell prey to Mehidy who was the most impressive of the Bangladesh bowlers. The away side would have surely liked another before the break but Hope, who then joined Brathwaite ensured they head into the break unscathed.

26.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Almost drags it on! Another flatter delivery and outside off, this one comes back in.

24.4 M Hasan to Hope, Works it with the turn to the man at square leg. 59/2
Shai Hope is the new man in.
24.3 M Hasan to Powell, OUT! Mehidy strikes again! He provides the breakthrough and breaks the stand which was looking really good out there. Once again Powell falls after getting a start. This was plumb and Mehidy knew it. He bowls the straighter one on off, it comes in with the angle. Powell plays for the away turn but there ain't any. He misses and the ball hits him low on the front pad. Hasan is already on a celebratory run as he is appealing. The umpire also agrees with him and raises the finger. Powell walks up to his partner and has a discussion but then opts against the review. Rightly so, as Hawk Eye later on shows three reds. 59/2
24.2 M Hasan to Powell, Uses his feet once again but Hasan sees it. He fires it on the pads. Powell tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. 59/1
24.1 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Plays it with the turn down to long on and jogs to the other end. That run also brings the 50-run stand up. Good recovery from the two, especially after they lost an early wicket. They need to go on now. 59/1
23.6 Al Hasan to Powell, On the stumps, kept out. Doing well here is Powell. He has got off to a start but can he continue? 58/1
23.5 Al Hasan to Powell, FOUR! Fourth boundary of the innings for Powell and this one is probably the best of the lot! This is tossed up outside off, Kieran goes down on one knee and slaps it through covers. 58/1
23.4 Al Hasan to Powell, Quicker on off, Powell defends it off the back foot. 54/1
23.3 Al Hasan to Powell, Slower through the air on middle, Powell tries to whip it but misses to get hit on the pads. 54/1
23.2 Al Hasan to Powell, The short of length delivery has been cut away through square on the off side. 54/1

22.6 M Hasan to Powell, Gets behind the line of the delivery and defends it. 53/1
22.5 M Hasan to Powell, FOUR! This should release all the pressure that was building! It is short and outside off, Powell says thank you and cuts it through point for a boundary. 53/1
22.4 M Hasan to Powell, Down the leg side, Powell tries to flick but misses. 49/1
22.3 M Hasan to Powell, The batsman defends it from within the crease. 49/1
22.2 M Hasan to Powell, An appeal but to no avail. Floats this on off, again it turns away. Powell lunges and tries to defend but he is beaten. The slip fielder takes it and appeals but the umpire does not agree. 49/1
22.1 M Hasan to Powell, Good bowling! Fires this on the leg stump, it turns away. Powell tries to work it across the line but gets a leading edge to point. 49/1
Once again juts an over for the pacer as Mehidy Hasan is back on.

21.5 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Flighted on the stumps, KB defends it. 49/1
21.4 Al Hasan to Powell, Fullish on off, Powell drives it to mid off for a quick run. 49/1
21.3 Al Hasan to Powell, NOT OUT! Umpire's call! Not a bad review by Bangladesh. That could have gone either way. Powell could consider himself a touch lucky. He dances down the track but does not get to the pitch of the ball. It turns in sharply and Powell is taken by surprise. He does not offer a stroke as the ball hits his back pad. A huge appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. Shakib after a thought signals the 'T'. Time for the replays which show the ball to be clipping the leg pole. Bangladesh though do not lose a review. 48/1
Review time! A huge shout for LBW against Powell has been turned down. Shakib after giving it a long thought has gone for it. It could be a good one by Bangladesh. The question is, has Powell offered a shot?
21.2 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Very full on middle, Brathwaite works it through mid-wicket for a run. He moves onto 22. 48/1
21.1 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Slower through the air on middle, no purchase for the bowler this time. KB easily defends it onto the ground. 47/1
Shakib Al Hasan is back on.
20.6 K Islam to Powell, Fullish outside off, the batsman makes a leave. 47/1
20.5 K Islam to Powell, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot. 47/1
20.4 K Islam to Powell, A bumper on middle, Powell tucks it towards mid-wicket. Brathwaite wanted a run but is rightly sent back by his partner. 47/1
20.3 K Islam to Powell, Goes fuller in search of some swing but there ain't any. KP drives it to extra cover. 47/1
20.2 K Islam to Powell, Back of a length on off, Powell defends it off the back foot. 47/1
20.1 K Islam to K Powell, Edged and a good stop! A loosener by Islam first up. Slightly short and outside off, Powell looks to punch but it takes the outside edge and goes to the left of the second slip fielder. He dives and makes a good stop with one hand. Saves a boundary. 47/1
Kamrul Islam is into the attack.
19.6 T Islam to Brathwaite, Outside off, the batsman need not play at those. Just two runs from the over. 47/1
19.5 T Islam to Powell, Turn but the line is on leg stump, Powell works it through square leg and gets to the other end. 47/1
19.4 T Islam to Brathwaite, A little too full on off, the spin is now out of contention. KB eases it down to long off for a run. 46/1
19.3 T Islam to Brathwaite, On the shorter side, Brathwaite fails to capitalize on it as he cuts it straight to cover-point. 45/1
19.2 T Islam to Brathwaite, Slower through the air on off, Kraigg keeps it out. 45/1
19.1 T Islam to Brathwaite, The batsman lets the ball go outside his off stump. 45/1
Time for Drinks! After only the sole over from the pacer, Abu Jayed at the start of the innings, Shakib Al Hasan decided to introduce himself. Since then, the spinners took center stage and kept on asking some questions on a track where there is some extra bounce. After losing Devon Smith, the Windies have done well to keep the opposition at bay. Kraigg Brathwaite needs a mention as he has used his feet nicely and is showing others the way how to bat on this surface. It seems that the visitors will back their strength which is spin. An interesting passage awaits us.
18.6 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Pushed through the air outside off, Kraigg leans ahead and eases it through covers for a run. 45/1
18.5 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Landing around off and spinning in, defended to short leg. 44/1
18.4 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Spinning down leg, all Brathwaite has to do is get some bat on it and he does that. The ball goes towards fine leg and a couple is taken. 44/1
18.3 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Kraigg covers the line to the tossed up ball and defends it right under his eyes. 42/1
18.2 M Hasan to Powell, Uses the depth of the crease to this one and punches it away to rotate strike. 42/1
18.1 M Hasan to K Powell, FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished! A half-tracker around off, Powell rocks back and pulls it with authority through mid-wicket for a rocketing boundary. 41/1
17.6 T Islam to Brathwaite, Shorter in length, blocked watchfully. 37/1
17.5 T Islam to Brathwaite, Slow through the air, defended nicely. 37/1
17.4 T Islam to Powell, The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. They pick up a single. 37/1
17.3 T Islam to Powell, Powell needs to be patient! That is what Test cricket demands. Tossed up on off and turning down leg sharply, Powell exposes his stumps and goes for the big sweep but misses. The extra bounce on the track means that the ball goes over the stumps. Otherwise, he would have been dead there. 36/1
17.2 T Islam to Powell, Pitching around the pads and skidding through as Powell decides to pad it away. 36/1
17.1 T Islam to Brathwaite, Floated ball, Kraigg eases it through mid on to change strike. 36/1

16.2 M Hasan to Powell, Down the leg side, Powell tries to flick but misses. 33/1
16.1 M Hasan to Powell, Beaten comprehensively! This is good bowling from Hasan. He lands it at a quicker pace on middle and off and gets it to turn away sharply. Powell hangs his bat in anticipation but gets foxed. 33/1
Mehidy Hasan is back on.
15.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Spinning away from around off as Kraigg doesn't fiddle with it. 33/1
15.5 Al Hasan to Powell, The length is short which allows Powell to rock back and cut it past point for a run. 33/1
15.4 Al Hasan to Powell, Played away with the spin to the leg side. 32/1
15.3 Al Hasan to Powell, The batsman works it down the leg side. 32/1
Mominul Haque has taken a blow on his helmet and his teammates check on him. The physio comes out as well. Such blows are always risky but thankfully, he seems to be fine.
15.2 Al Hasan to Powell, Is that dropped? Well, Mehidy Hasan could have converted that into a catch. Tossed up ball, Powell nails the slog sweep as Monimul at short leg turns behind to take evasive action. The ball hits the back of his helmet and deflects over first slip. Mehidy Hasan stationed there, dives backwards but the ball just goes past his fingertips and falls on the ground. Haque seems to have been shaken up. 32/1
15.1 Al Hasan to Powell, On middle and leg, worked with the spin to mid-wicket. 32/1
14.6 T Islam to Brathwaite, Islam is varying it up nicely as he bowls this one full, Kraigg lunges in defense. 32/1
14.5 T Islam to Brathwaite, Quicker and shorter, left alone. 32/1
14.4 T Islam to Brathwaite, Tossed up ball, spinning away, Brathwaite comes down the track and drags it towards mid on. Got a bit foxed there and the shot selection was not correct. 32/1
14.3 T Islam to K Brathwaite, Landing around off, played with the spin to mid off. 32/1
14.2 T Islam to Brathwaite, FOUR! Brathwaite is trying to apply pressure on the spinners and it is working for him at the moment. Can prove to be a good ploy. He uses his feet to the tossed up ball and lifts it over mid on to pick up another boundary. 32/1
14.1 T Islam to Powell, Floated up nicely on middle, Powell comes ahead to deal with it but gets it off the inner half of the bat past the left side of short leg. A run results. 28/1
Spin again but this time it is a different one. The left-arm spinner, Taijul Islam will have a bowl now.
13.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Nice revolutions on this one, Brathwaite watches it closely and taps it to mid off. 27/1
13.5 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Similar delivery, the result is the same. 27/1
13.4 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Spinning away as the right-hander cuts it to point. 27/1

12.5 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Close shave! There are some balls which are taking off on this track and are causing problems for the batsmen. This one has extra bounce as well. Kraigg tries to defend but the ball deflects off his gloves past the left side of the leg slip fielder. A run results. 27/1
12.4 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Slower in pace, kept out watchfully. 26/1
12.3 M Hasan to Brathwaite, FOUR! Brathwaite is growing in confidence! Good intent from him. Skids down the track to the tossed up ball and heaves it over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary. 26/1
12.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Spinning in as Kraigg turns it off the inner half towards leg slip. 22/1
12.1 M Hasan to Powell, On a shorter length, kept out from the comfort of the crease. 22/1
11.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Another ball on the stumps and Kraigg negotiates it well. A maiden by Shakib and a good one. 21/1
11.5 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Flighted ball on off, KB prods forward and defends it onto the ground. 21/1
11.4 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Works it with the angle to the man at mid-wicket. 21/1
11.3 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Uses his feet and tries to get to the pitch of the ball. Does not do so but does well to defend it onto the ground. 21/1
11.2 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Lovely delivery and equally well played. Good cricket all around. Flatter and on off, this one straightens and shoots off the surface. Kraigg does really well to keep it down off the back foot. He played that with soft hands. 21/1
11.1 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Floats it up on middle, a touch too full. Brathwaite lunges and defends it. 21/1
10.6 M Hasan to Powell, Fuller ball outside off, sliced away to point. 21/1
10.5 M Hasan to Powell, FOUR! Shot! First boundary for Powell. On a flatter trajectory and the length is on the shorter side. Powell rocks back and cuts it past backward point to find the fence. 21/1
10.4 M Hasan to Powell, Defended off the back foot by the batsman. 17/1
10.3 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Kraigg is nimble on his feet as he works it through mid-wicket to rotate strike. 17/1
10.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, An appeal for an LBW but turned down! Mehidy tosses this once nicely on middle and gets it to spin in. Brathwaite leans ahead to defend but is hit on the pads. The visitors go up in unison but the umpire shakes his head. The bowler looks at Shakib but he doesn't take the review. Rightly so, as the replay shows it would have spun down leg. 16/1
10.1 M Hasan to Powell, Nicely done! When the spinners are bowling in tandem, you need to use your feet. Powell does just that and clips the fullish ball through mid-wicket. The fielder from the same region hares after it, slides near the fence and keeps the ball in play. Three runs taken. Shakib lauds the effort. 16/1
9.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Pitches on off and spins away to open Brathwaite up in his stance. He manages to block it off the back foot. 13/1

Kieran Powell comes out to bat.
8.1 M Hasan to Smith, OUT! Mehidy Hasan draws first blood! The ploy to bowl with spin with the new ball has reaped dividends for Bangladesh. Smith was not looking that assured against the spinners and he has finally fallen. Hasan tosses up the ball on a fullish length on middle and leg. Devon is a bit off-balanced as he falls over a little in an attempt to clip it and seems to have got an inside edge onto his pads. The ball lobs up in the air towards square leg. Mominul Haque and Nurul Hasan are after it but the former reaches it first from short leg and pouches it safely. The players appeal and up goes the umpire's finger. Ideal start for the visitors. 9/1
7.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Similar delivery, kept out from within the crease. 9/0
7.5 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Nice pace and line from Shakib as Kraigg lunges in defense. 9/0

7.2 Al Hasan to Smith, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat. 8/0
7.1 Al Hasan to Smith, Uses his feet to this one but is not quite to the pitch of it and hence, blocks it. 8/0
6.6 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Slow through the air around the pads, Brathwaite opts to pad it away. Pretty safe as it probably pitched outside leg. 8/0
6.5 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Hasan has gone a bit off radar against Brathwaite. Spinning down leg again and Nurul is quick to react. 8/0
6.4 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Brathwaite is assured with his footwork as he clips it against the spin to mid-wicket. 8/0
6.3 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Full on middle, eased to mid on. 8/0
6.2 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Similar delivery, on this occasion Kraigg leaves it. 8/0
6.1 M Hasan to Brathwaite, Going down with the arm, Brathwaite missed but Nurul doesn't as he collects the ball nicely. 8/0

4.6 M Hasan to Smith, Turning and bouncing away sharply as it is left alone. 5/0

4.2 M Hasan to Smith, Spinning away as Smith plants his front foot across to allow it through. 5/0
4.1 M Hasan to D Smith, Loopy ball outside off, Devon goes at it but gets an outside edge but the ball falls short of second slip who dives and stops it. 5/0
3.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Shorter in length, defended from within the crease. 5/0
3.5 Al Hasan to K Brathwaite, Nervy moment! Lands on off and spins away appreciably. The key is that Brathwaite goes at it with hard hands. Even though an edge results, it falls short of first slip. 5/0

2.2 M Hasan to Smith, The batsman has pushed it to the cover region. 5/0
2.1 M Hasan to Smith, Four Byes! There is a lot of turn and bounce on this track and it is not a bad call from Shakib to bowl two spinners against Smith immediately. Floated around off, Smith pushes but misses and the keeper fails to collect it as well. The fielder chases it but only comes second best. 5/0
Spin from both ends. Mehidy Hasan to roll his arm over now.
1.6 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Slow through the air, defended solidly off the front foot. A good start from Shakib. 1/0
1.5 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Spinning away from Brathwaite who leaves it alone. 1/0
1.4 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Close shave! Shakib has found his rhythm. Bowls a loopy ball on off as Kraigg tries to work it against the spin but a leading edge is induced. The fielder at mid off is interested but it falls well short of him. 1/0
1.3 Al Hasan to Brathwaite, Outside off, pushed to covers off the front foot. 1/0
1.2 Al Hasan to Smith, Windies and Smith are away! Tossed up ball, clipped past short leg for a single. 1/0
