We are done with all the pre-match rituals and we're all set for the start of play!
We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, the two teams will line up for the national anthems.
Right then, this has been a cagey start to the Test. The pacers were expected to dominate at this venue, and there has certainly been enough assistance for them to keep the batters on edge. If not for the dropped catches, Bangladesh might not be feeling as comfortable as they are at the moment. It will be about starting all over again for Shahadat Hossain and Shadman Islam as they look to build on their solid foundations and ensure they make the opportunities given to them count. Given that we c
Kemar Roach comes in for a quick chat. He says that he stayed relaxed during the day with the boys in the dressing room. Shares that he had a chat with the umpires and got to know about the start of play so got himself ready to bowl. Further mentions that bowling in the first Test gave him enough experience to bowl to the Bangladesh batters and tried to just challenge them on the front foot and keep testing the batters in and around off. Tells that consistency is key in bowling and controlling
Shahadat Hossain was also dropped once and, unlike his partner, did not look as convincing, but he did enough to see out the day, especially as the light began to fade during the final few overs. Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Justin Greaves all had chances put down off their bowling, which will be disappointing for the West Indies, given the bowler-friendly conditions they were operating in.
Earlier, rain in the days leading up to the game resulted in a wet outfield, causing the match to begin five hours past its scheduled time. At the toss, Bangladesh won the coin flip, with Mehidy Hasan choosing to bat first. Due to the late start, there wasnât much moisture in the surface, but the ball nipped around just enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach, as he has so often done, set the tone by accounting for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mominul Haque with his probing line and
The light has deteriorated further, and it is now deemed insufficient for play to continue. STUMPS have been called on Day 1. End of a truncated day, where we saw 30 overs of attritional cricket. After being reduced to 10/2 within the first 7 overs, Bangladesh will be relieved that no further casualties followed. On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed with their performance, having dropped 3 catches and failing to claim more than 2 wickets despite bowler-friendly conditions.

PITCH REPORT -Â Samuel Badree is near the deck. He mentions that the conditions have improved significantly, and we are now good to go. Mentions that the deck has a nice, even covering of grass, but there is a bit of patchiness at one end. He anticipates some uneven bounce due to this. Badree points out that out of the last 10 Tests played at this venue, only one match has ended in a draw. States that pacers have been dominant at this venue and with both sides having quality pace attacks, it wil
The skipper of the West Indies, Kraigg Brathwaite, has achieved a remarkable milestone by eclipsing Sir Garfield Sobers for the most consecutive Test appearances (86th Test in a row)Â for the West Indies. When asked about the achievement, he replies that he wants to inspire as many people as he can to play the sport.
The captain of Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan says that they will bat first. Feels that this is a good wicket. Informs that they have made two changes with Shadman Islam coming in for Zakir Hasan and Nahid Rana replacing Shoriful Islam.
