The makeshift West Indies
side struggled against Bangladesh's spin again on a rain-affected
third day of the second Test as the Caribbean side closed on 192 for
eight in their second innings.
Shakib Al Hasan took four for 62 after the West Indies, who had a
five-run first-innings lead, struggled to make a score that would give
them a chance of levelling the series.
Only Travis Dowlin, who made 49 to follow his 95 in the first innings
and Dave Bernard who completed his third half century in the series,
showed any competence against tight slow bowling from Bangladesh.
Bangladesh deployed an attacking field with close catchers around the
bat throughout the day, illustrating their confidence that, as in the
first Test and the first innings in Grenada, West Indies would wilt
against the constant probing.
They were encouraged left-handed opener Omar Phillips holed out to
square-leg off Shakib and Ryan Hinds inexplicably tried to sweep a
ball going down leg side and gloved to Mahmudullah Riyad at leg slip.
