Match State: Stumps - Day 1

       Good morning
       Welcome to the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka.
       Today is day-2 of the first Test match between Bangladesh and West
        Indies.
       West Indies are well in command of this Test, after bowling out
        Bangladesh for a platry 139 in the first innings.
       Clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine in Dhaka
       There is some live grass in this track, the pitch seems to have
        eased out a great deal. And could be a day for a big run feast.
       The umpires and players are in the middle. Play is about to start.
       Tapash Baisya to bowl. Gayle to take strike.
  33.1 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, loosener, well wide outside the
        off, keeping low, goes on the second bounce to the keeper.
  33.2 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, again wide outside the off, left
        alone
  33.3 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, (noball) no run, a big no ball! Down the
        leg side
  33.3 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, short, outside the off, mistimes
        the cut - as he plays that in a hurry, ball coming very slowly on
        to the bat
  33.4 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, gives himself a lot of room,
        punches this one to covers, timing not too good yet
  33.5 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, just outside the off, much better
        delivery, left alone
  33.6 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, left alone

End of over 34 (1 run) West Indies 119/0 (trail by 20 runs)
Tapash Baisya 10-1-45-0 (2nb) - Paltan End
WW Hinds 73* (96b 12x4) CH Gayle 44* (110b 7x4)

       Talha Jubair to bowl now
  34.1 Talha Jubair to Hinds, one run, on the leg, inside edge on to the
        pad, gets a single
  34.2 Talha Jubair to Gayle, FOUR, width outside the off, Gayle eases
        into a cover drive, glorious shot for four
  34.3 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, just outside the off, Gayle fishing
        at it, beaten, lucky not to get an edge
  34.4 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, just outside the off, hardly any
        threatening pace, just about medium pace, Gayle walks forward,
        pushes the ball to covers
  34.5 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, puts in that extra effort, Jubair
        struggling to find pace here, well outside the off, left alone
  34.6 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, well up to the batsman, Gayle once
        again on the move forward, walking forward that is, forced to push
        at it in defence

End of over 35 (5 runs) West Indies 124/0 (trail by 15 runs)
Talha Jubair 7-0-36-0 - Pavilion End
WW Hinds 74* (97b 12x4) CH Gayle 48* (115b 8x4)

  35.1 Tapash Baisya to Hinds, no run
  35.2 Tapash Baisya to Hinds, no run, short of a good length, on leg and
        middle, moving away towards the off, Hinds caught in two minds,
        completely squared up, fends at it
       Charges in to run, loses his footing, does not deliver. Umpire
        signals a dead ball.
  35.3 Tapash Baisya to Hinds, no run, not a very high-arm action,
        skidding on to the bat, defended
  35.4 Tapash Baisya to Hinds, no run, left alone to the keeper
  35.5 Tapash Baisya to Hinds, legbye: one run, well down the leg side,
        Hinds trying to flick it away, can't get bat on it, hits pad,
        takes a leg bye
  35.6 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, one run, pushed towards point and takes a
        quick single

End of over 36 (2 runs) West Indies 126/0 (trail by 13 runs)

CH Gayle 49* (116b 8x4) WW Hinds 74* (102b 12x4)

  36.1 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, angling away, pushes forward, ball
        goes through to the keeper
  36.2 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, short of a length, just outside the
        off, jabs at it, ball goes towards gully, no chance of a single
       Gayle on 49, looking for that single to reach his half-century
  36.3 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, well outside the off, left alone
  36.4 Talha Jubair to Gayle, one run, just outside the off, pushes the
        ball short of covers, takes a quick single, that is his fifty!
  36.5 Talha Jubair to Hinds, no run, ooh! This one kept very low, would
        have needed a broom to play at that, through to the keeper
  36.6 Talha Jubair to Hinds, no run, a lot of effort from the 16-year-old
        bowler, but not enough pace, Hinds leaves it alone outside the off

End of over 37 (1 run) West Indies 127/0 (trail by 12 runs)
Talha Jubair 8-0-37-0 - Pavilion End
CH Gayle 50* (120b 8x4) WW Hinds 74* (104b 12x4)

  37.1 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, left alone outside the off
  37.2 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, again walks forward - pushes the
        ball to mid-off
       Not timing the ball as well as he would have liked to - this
        morning, all the walking around in the crease not helping him much
        either
  37.3 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, (noball) no run, another no ball! Wide
        outside the off, left alone. Trying to find the extra pace - and
        over stepping the line
  37.3 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, shuffles across and defends
  37.4 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, (noball) no run, yet another no ball,
        outside the off, pushed to covers. Bowling very much average,
        Gayle struggling to time the shots.
  37.4 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, skidding away from the batsman,
        Gayle has a look at this one, wanted to play at it, left it alone
        in the end
  37.5 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, down th eleg side, left alone
  37.6 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, darting in to the batsman, defended

End of over 38 (2 runs) West Indies 129/0 (trail by 10 runs)
Tapash Baisya 12-1-48-0 (4nb) - Paltan End
WW Hinds 74* (105b 12x4) CH Gayle 50* (127b 8x4)

  38.1 Talha Jubair to Hinds, one run, played down to third-man for a

        point
  38.4 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, outside the off, left alone
  38.5 Talha Jubair to Gayle, no run, well outside the off, left alone
  38.6 Talha Jubair to Gayle, one run, cuts very hard, gets a thick edge,
        ball flies towards third-man for a single. A third slip would have
        taken the catch.

End of over 39 (2 runs) West Indies 131/0 (trail by 8 runs)
Talha Jubair 9-0-39-0 - Pavilion End
CH Gayle 51* (132b 8x4) WW Hinds 75* (106b 12x4)

  39.1 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, no run, well outside the off, left alone
        again. No sense of urgency from the part of the West Indies
        batsmen, they are digging in deep for a long innings.
  39.2 Tapash Baisya to Gayle, OUT: Not for long! Gayle plays a terrible
        shot - to a wide half volley, slashes at it, gets a thick edge and
        Khaled Mashud takes the catch.

  39.4 Tapash Baisya to Sarwan, no run, well down the leg side
  39.5 Tapash Baisya to Sarwan, one run, takes a quick single to short

       West Indies lead by 79 runs. Sarwan and Samuels are the in-form
        batsmen for West Indies, both of them look very good indeed,
        timing the ball sweetly.
       West Indies lost both the openers in one over from Tapash Baisya -
        both playing careless shots.
       Chanderpaul nicked one from Enamul Haque to the wicket keeper.
       30 overs bowled in the first session, 100 runs scored and three
        wickets falling. A good session of Test cricket.

       There was enough 'doubt' about the direction the ball was taking,
        sadly the benefit didn't go to the batsman, trying to whip the

       Ganga is the new batsman, as we are into the 100th over of the

 101.4 Talha Jubair to Ganga, no run, gives it all - all he has, trying to
        get the extra pace going, ball keeps too low - well outside the
        off, Ganga leaves it alone
       where is the new ball? With Jubair bowling so well, Mashud should
        take the new ball
 101.5 Talha Jubair to Ganga, no run, outside the off, played nicely to

 103.6 Talha Jubair to Sarwan, no run, BEATEN! So close to getting out on
        99, plays a terrible shot, the nervous energy taking over, that

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Good Morning
       Welcome to the live coverage of the third day's play of the first
        Test match between Bangladesh and West Indies
       West Indies will resume at their overnight score of 400/5, they
        lead by 261 runs
       The pitch looks very good indeed. There is  fair sprinkling of
        grass in this one. Very small cracks developing.
       The umpires and players are in the middle
       Tapash Baisya to bowl
 123.1 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, two runs, on leg and middle, played down to
        long leg, lazy running between the wickets, just the couple of
        runs
 123.2 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, short, outside the off, big square
        cut, straight to the fielder at point
 123.3 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, left alone to the keeper
 123.4 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, outside the off, left alone
 123.5 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, well up to the batsman, pushed to
        mid-off
 123.6 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, (noball) two runs, outside the off, played
        down to third-man, could have taken the third run, very slow
        running by the batsmen, taking it a bit too easy
 123.6 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, full in length, on middle and off,
        driven back to the bowler

End of over 124 (5 runs) West Indies 405/5 (lead by 266 runs)
Tapash Baisya 28-3-97-2 (1w 9nb) - Paltan End
RD Jacobs 14* (22b 2x4) D Ganga 38* (79b 5x4)

       Talha Jubair to bowl now. It is Jubair's 17th birthday today.
 124.1 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, one run, pushed firmly towards mid-off,
        takes a quick single
 124.2 Talha Jubair to Ganga, no run, left alone outside the off
 124.3 Talha Jubair to Ganga, no run
 124.4 Talha Jubair to Ganga, one run, driven just wide of mid-off, takes
        a quick single, more urgency now
 124.5 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, no run, outside the off, played to backward
        point, wants the single, suicidal at best, Ganga will have nothing
        of that, sends his skipper back
 124.6 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, one run, just enough width outside the off,
        cuts it down to third-man, takes a single and keeps the strike

End of over 125 (3 runs) West Indies 408/5 (lead by 269 runs)
Talha Jubair 24-3-104-2 (1w) - Pavilion End
RD Jacobs 16* (25b 2x4) D Ganga 39* (82b 5x4)

 125.1 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, oooh! Almost drags it back into
        the stumps, lucky escape
 125.2 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, outside the off, pushed to covers
 125.3 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, angling away, too wide outside the
        off to make Jacobs play at it
 125.4 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, just outside the off, gets right
        behind and pushes it down the track with a straight bat
 125.5 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, well outside the off, has a close
        look at the ball, watches it go through to Mashud
       Interestingly both the captains are wicket keepers
 125.6 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, FOUR, driven straight, all along the
        ground, beats the diving fielder, and goes all the way for four,
        excellent shot!

End of over 126 (4 runs) West Indies 412/5 (lead by 273 runs)

        single
 126.2 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, no run, outside the off, left alone
 126.3 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, FOUR, this is brute power! Jacobs smashes
        the ball through extra cover for four, the half volley deserved
        such punishment
 126.4 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, no run, gets right behind the line and
        defends
 126.5 Talha Jubair to Jacobs, no run, gets behind the line, defends

 127.1 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run
 127.2 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run
 127.3 Tapash Baisya to Ganga, no run, Run Out! Pushed to covers, goes for
        the suicidal run, when they couldn't take the easy threes earlier,
        direct hit from Hannan Sarkar, run out by some distance!

       West Indies 417/6, Partnership of 40
       D Ganga  run out (Hannan Sarkar)  40 (86b 5x4 0x6)

        perfect gift through square leg for four

        easy single
 130.2 Talha Jubair to Drakes, no run
 130.3 Talha Jubair to Drakes, no run
 130.4 Talha Jubair to Drakes, no run, this is exciting cricket, Jubair
        runs in and digs it in short, Drakes like a top order batsman,
        gets right behind the line, right up on his toes too, offers a
        straight bat in defence, ball rolls back down the track for the
        bowler to pick it up
 130.5 Talha Jubair to Drakes, no run, on leg and middle, played towards
        short mid-wicket
 130.6 Talha Jubair to Drakes, no run, immaculate defensive push

Talha Jubair 27-3-115-2 (1w) - Pavilion End
RD Jacobs 33* (45b 5x4) VC Drakes 5* (12b 1x4)

 131.1 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, this one is too wide outside the
        off, not called a wide anyways
 131.2 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, full in length, Jacobs makes it
        very difficult for himself, shuffles across, and at the last
        moment tries to defend, gets a thiock outside edge, ball goes tto
        covers
 131.3 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, no run, just about medium pace, angling
        away, shuffles across again, reaches out for it, plays it down to
        backward point
 131.4 Tapash Baisya to Jacobs, one run, full in length, driven straight
        down the ground, there is no fielder at mid-off, but there is a
        long-off, just the single
 131.5 Tapash Baisya to Drakes, no run, looks a like a slower one, Drakes
        well in command, defends
 131.6 Tapash Baisya to Drakes, no run

 136.1 Enamul Haque to Drakes, no run
 136.2 Enamul Haque to Drakes, no run
 136.3 Enamul Haque to Drakes, one run
       It is quite funny here, Umpire Shepherd not too enthused, he has a
        head count of the fielders, finds that it is only 10, allows the
        sub to come in. And then says aloud, 'get these overs going'

        the ball around
       Jacobs' score this year in Test cricket - 4,6,17, 0, 0, 9, 3, 22.
        So this knock is some sort of a comeback to form.
 137.2 Naimur Rahman to Drakes, OUT: long hop, goes for the mighty six
        over mid-wicket, sends the ball high in the air, Al Sahariar gets
        under it, takes a safe catch, all over for Drakes

        mistimes that, ball goes towards mid-on

       Seven wickets falling for seven runs, this turned out to be a real
        no-contest
       Bangladesh were completely outplayed by a far superior team - West
        Indies.
       All Jermaine Lawson had to do was bowl fast and straight - and
        wickets started to fall like nine pins.
       The second and final Test match of the series will start on 16th
        December, Monday - at Chittagong.
       Do join us then. Thanks for your company. Cheers!
