Mahmud claims 6-90 to help Bangladesh stem the tide in 2nd test as West Indies
lead by 268
SYLHET, Bangladesh (AP) --- Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud claimed 6-90 to help
Bangladesh stem the tide in the second cricket test against West Indies on
Friday.
Hasan moved the ball admirably on day 2 as West Indies was out for 356 in the
first innings. Bangladesh then reached 88-3 at stumps to trail by 268 runs.
Towhid Hridoy was batting on 29, with veteran Mushfiqur Rahim on 19, when
played was halted by bad light.
West Indies appeared set for big first innings when it resumed at 235-4. But
Hasan rediscovered his touch with the new ball by flattening the stump of Amir
Jangoo, who offered no shot, and dismissing West Indies captain Roston Chase
with the next delivery.
Jangoo added 22 runs to his overnight total to finish on 133, including 13
fours and two sixes.
Hasan came close to claiming his second hat trick, but Joshua Bishop survived a
leg-before decision after successfully reviewing the umpire's call.
Hasan nevertheless was unstoppable and was rewarded for consistency by claiming
the wickets of Bishop and Shamar Joseph. It was his first five-for on home soil
and the highest every by a Bangladesh pacer.
Offspinner Mehidy Hasan ended 2-82 after dismissing Greaves on 51 and Jayden
Seals to wrap up West Indies innings.
Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam, who hit a century in the first test loss,
sustained an ankle injury while chasing a ball to the boundary rope and was
taken to the hospital.
Nayeem Hasan came in as a makeshift opener but couldn't impact much as Seals
had him caught by Brandon King at slip in the fifth over.
Greaves dismissed Tanzid Hasan for 16 as debutant Kevin Wickham held onto a
stunning catch at cover point and Joseph bowled captain Najmul Hossain Shanto
to leave Bangladesh at 51-3.
Mushfiqur, who missed out the first test due to finger injury, struggled
initially but managed to stay in the crease with Hridoy before bad light forced
early stump.
