Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd Test Day 4 Live: Abu Jayed bagged two wickets while Taijul Islam picked one as West Indies lost three quick wickets on Day 4 and overall they have lost six wickets without even crossing the 100-run mark in the second innings of the second Test in Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.

Meanwhile, Mehidy Hasan scripted history on Day 3. The Bangladesh spinner became the quickest (24 matches) and youngest bowler (23 years) for Bangladesh to scalp 100 Test wickets. Despite losing Moseley, Campbell and Braithwaite, the visitors are 154 runs ahead of Bangladesh. As a result of dismissing Moseley, Mehidy became only the fourth Bangladesh bowler to 100 Test wickets. Nkrumah Bonner and Jomel Warrican are currently unbeaten on 8 and 2 respectively.

Earlier, resuming day three at 105/4, overnight batters Mushfiqur Rahim and Mohammad Mithun managed to add 37 runs more to the total, before Rahkeem Cornwall striking for the Windies and the spinner sent Mithun (15) back to the pavilion in the 46th over.

Three overs later, Cornwall dismissed Rahim (54) and this reduced the hosts to 155/6 and the side was in danger of being asked to follow-on. Liton Das and Mehidy then ensured that the hosts did not lose more wickets before the lunch break and the side went into the interval at a score of 181/6, still trailing Windies by 228 runs.

In the second session, Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan were on top of their game and the duo mixed caution with aggression to bring their hosts back into the game. The second session saw both batters going past their 50-run mark and Windies bowlers were not able to take a single wicket in two hours.

At the tea break, Bangladesh’s score read 272/6, still trailing West Indies by 137 runs with Das and Hasan unbeaten on 66 and 53 respectively. However, after the tea break, Windies stormed back as the side dismissed Das (71) and Nayeem Hasan (0) in quick succession by Cornwall.
