The pacer first bowled Jangoo, who added 22 to his overnight score to finish with an impressive 133 off 235 balls, including 13 fours and two sixes. Justin Greaves then accounted for Tanzid Hasan, who made 16, with debutant Kevin Wickham taking a sharp catch at cover point. The hosts slipped further when Shamar Joseph bowled captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for 18, leaving Bangladesh at 51/3.
Bangladesh also suffered a major injury scare when opener Shadman Islam twisted his left ankle while chasing a ball towards the boundary. The batter, who scored a century in the first Test, was stretchered off the field and taken to hospital for an MRI scan and further assessment, leaving the hosts potentially short of a specialist opener. Hasan then removed West Indies captain Roston Chase for a duck with the next delivery. Bangladesh’s reply began on a worrying note with Shadman unavailable after his injury. Nayeem Hasan was drafted in as a makeshift opener but lasted only a few overs before Seales had him caught by Brandon King at slip. Hridoy and Mushfiqur then combined to steady the innings, although scoring remained difficult against a disciplined West Indies attack. Mushfiqur, returning after missing the first Test with a finger injury, survived an lbw appeal on umpire’s call and gradually settled in.
