Right then, that is it from an entertaining Day 1 of this first Test. West Indies are in a good position with 250/5 on the board, but Bangladesh will be eyeing early inroads and restricting them under 300. We did lose six overs of play but Day 2 is still expected to start at 2 pm GMT, but you can join us early for all the build-up. Cheers!

West Indies took control in the final session, with Alick Athanaze's counterattack and Mikyle Louis’s steady hand powering a 100-plus run stand. Both batters stormed into their 90s, but the tension of the nervous nineties struck hard - Louis fell after a shaky patch, and Athanaze followed soon after. Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam’s spin broke the partnership just in time for Bangladesh. Yet, the second new ball backfired, as Joshua Da Silva and Justin Greaves countered with quick runs, s

The West Indies fought back brilliantly in the afternoon session, closing at 116/3, led by Mikyle Louis’s gritty, unbeaten 71 off 166 balls. With seven boundaries, Louis anchored the innings, fending off a relentless Bangladeshi attack. Kavem Hodge’s run-out for 25 was the only blip, but his partnership with Louis steadied the ship. Alick Athanaze’s composed presence added 32 crucial runs for the fourth wicket. The Bangladeshi pacers were a bit inconsistent, letting the batters take adva

Opting to bowl first proved a good decision for Bangladesh, with Shoriful Islam and Hasan Mahmud setting the tone early with disciplined spells. Though wickets eluded them initially, Taskin Ahmed broke through with two crucial strikes, dismissing both Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty. The Windies struggled to keep the scoreboard ticking, but Mikyle Louis showed resilience, finding rhythm as the session progressed, with Kavem Hodge providing steady support. Heading into Lunch, the hosts fa

SESSION SUMMARY - 134 runs and 2 wickets in 30 overs! Well, a hard-fought day of Test cricket comes to an end! Bangladesh were the ones who took control in the first session with some brilliant pace bowling but the momentum shifted quickly with West Indies coming back hard in the next two sessions.

Braithwaite soaked up plenty of deliveries in an effort to wear down the pacers but eventually fell shortly after the first hour. Carty couldn’t make an impact either. The silver lining for the hosts was Mikyle Louis, who started cautiously but became more proactive once he settled in. Hodge offered solid support, a

Opting to bowl first after winning the toss turned out to be a smart decision for the visitors.

SESSION SUMMARY - 50 runs and 2 wickets in 23 overs! Bangladesh will head into the break feeling slightly more satisfied, though they haven’t pulled too far ahead.
