Another miserable day comes to an end for Bangladesh. It wasn't as bad a day as yesterday. Yet, another batting collapse has shut all hopes for them to make a comeback in this Test. At 62 for 6, still 301 runs behind, it would be an achievement if they manage to stretch the game for even two and a half days. As of now, that seems highly unlikely.

Only 50 runs into their second innings, Bangladesh have all of their batsmen, except Mahmudullah, back in the pavilion. Will the umpires extend play today? Will Bangladesh be bowled out today itself? 50 for 6 isn't reading pretty at all.
There goes No 4! Not sure what Mushfiqur Rahim was trying to there. But he creates a huge gap between his bat and pads and lets an incoming delivery pass by to the stumps without any trouble. Shannon Gabriel gets his third wicket.
This is turning out to be another dismal display of batting, as much as it is another good spell of bowling by the Windies. Jason Holder gets the ball to move away and Liton Das pokes at it and edges it to slips. Third wicket down.
That's the second wicket in three balls. unfortunate for Mominul Haque. The ball keeps low after pitching and disturbs the timber. Are we going to witness another early collapse?
Tamim Iqbal, who just stroked his way to becoming thefirst Bangladesh batsman to register 4000 Test runs, has fallen early yet again. Looking to push away a delivery angling across, Tamim sends the ball straight to Shai Hope at gully.
Jason Holder opened the bowling alongside Shannon Gabriel. No Kemar Roach. The pacer had come out to bat in his usual position, so it is unlikely that his hamstring problem is too serious. But he hasn't opened the bowling.
It has taken less than half an hour after tea for Bangladesh to bundle out the Windies. Abu Jayed and Mehidy Hasan have finished with three wickets each. To cover the 363-run lead that they have conceded, Bangladesh will have a massive task at hand. The pitch has eased out for batting, and that is their only saving grace at the moment. Can they put up a better show in the second essay? The fading lights aren't going to make things any easy for them.
Tea time, gentlemen! A session where Bangladesh bagged four wickets - their most successful in this match - is still the one Windies would be happy going out with. Despite losing three early wickets in the session, they fought back, courtesy Shai Hope's crucial stands with Jason Holder and Kemar Roach. They added 104 runs in the session for the loss of four wickets.
There seems to be no end to Windies' misery. Shai Hope has worked his way to another half-century and stitched a crucial stand with Kemar Roach for the eighth wicket. The lead has gone past 330 now.
And soon after the fifty stand, Bangladesh have managed to get another breakthrough. Jason Holder is dismissed, caught superbly by Liton Das at silly point. Mehidy Hasan with his second wicket.
