5:21pm That will be all from us for today. If you missed out on any of the action, Isam's report is your place to be. We will be back at it tomorrow, and until then, this is goodbye from Ranjith, Sreshth and myself. Take care, everyone.

5:16pm A rather frenetic end to what was otherwise a sedate day of action. West Indies ground out seven wickets and ultimately end the day ahead, but they will not have the luxury of enforcing the follow-on. Alzarri picked up three for the hosts and you could sense the smoke coming out of his ears towards the end. Shamar and Roach popped up with a wicket apiece, with Greaves and Seales bagging two-wicket-hauls.

As for Bangladesh, well, their batters, simply put, could not do what Athanaze, Greaves or Louis managed. Only one of their top eight failed to get into double digits, but none of them crossed 53. They did not lose wickets in a heap, but they also did not do enough to wrestle the advantage away from the hosts. They have it all to do tomorrow and if they are to turn things around, they will need a huge performance from their bowlers.

Alzarri Joseph: It (the pitch) was a bit slow. We have our plans for each batter and we try to target them differently. (On which wicket pleased him the most) I think the first one - the setup was pretty good. (On what they could have done differently today) Probably stayed a bit more patient after lunch.

5:14pm The umpires are taking a reading and are now having a chat, deciding that the light is not good enough to continue. Stumps on day three and Bangladesh will come out to bat on day four.

Greaves to Shoriful Islam, no run, length ball angled across outside off. Shoriful backs away and swishes at it. No prizes for guessing that he misses

Greaves to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, dug into the track on leg stump. Taskin stays further leg side and drops it into the off side. Looks at his partner, who is happy to get across to the other end

The fourth umpire is waiting on the edge of the fence with a light meter

Greaves to Taskin Ahmed, no run, short and wide outside off. Taskin continues swinging like a rusty gate and only swats away a few flies in the process
97.3

Greaves to Taskin Ahmed, FOUR, edged and four! Vital runs for Bangladesh! Back of a length outside off. Taskin has a wild whoosh across the line and the ball hurtles off the outside edge, well over first slip!

Greaves to Shoriful Islam, 1 run, almost! Full on leg stump. Shoriful gets his front foot out of the way and looks to smash it into next week. Cloths it completely and is lucky that Alzarri, running back from mid on, cannot eat up the ground quick enough

Greaves to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, shortish on middle and leg, but Greaves does not have the pace to trouble Taskin. He clears his front leg and heaves it towards deep backward square leg

AS Joseph to Shoriful Islam, no run, oh dear! This is banged in again. Shoriful, on this occasion, walks well across his stumps and then misses his pull
96.5

AS Joseph to Shoriful Islam, no run, another ripping shortish delivery, which pre-empts Shoriful backing away and follows him. He looks to swing it away but is awfully late on the stroke. The ball whistles past his ear

Both batters willing to back away and expose their stumps

AS Joseph to Shoriful Islam, no run, another brutish delivery, folliowing Shoriful well outside leg. He gets tucked up and cops a blow on the body for his troubles
96.3

AS Joseph to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, dug into the track again because why not. This is just outside off and Taskin, swiping in agricultural fashion, gets a top edge that falls well to fine leg's left. Alzarri tries to have a word with Taskin again, only to be shooed away by the Bangladesh pacer. Things getting edgy
96.2

AS Joseph to Taskin Ahmed, no run, another short ball but this slides wildly down leg. Taskin swings and misses anyway and then cops another earful from Alzarri

AS Joseph to Taskin Ahmed, no run, just short! Back of a length on middle and leg. Taskin clears his front leg and swings for the hills. Gets a faint inside edge that, fortunately for him, lands in front of da Silva. Alzarri has a chat to Taskin too. Might have been a word of advice or about what is a good spot for dinner. Pretty sure it was not appreciation for the stroke

Greaves to Shoriful Islam, no run, into the blockhole outside off. Shoriful jams down on it and digs it out towards mid off

Shoriful is the last batter in

Greaves to Hasan Mahmud, OUT, has that carried to Athanaze? The umpires want to check, but West Indies are celebrating! Length ball in the fifth stump channel. Leaves the batter late and leaves Mahmud after drawing him into a false stroke. The ball kisses the outside edge and floats through to Athanaze at third slip, who swoops down low and grabs it. The first two angles the third umpire has been shown have not been great. In real-time, he seemed to get his fingers under the ball. The third umpire (Asif Yakoob) now asks for a zoomed-in version but that seems much more blurry than the original replay. Rolls that replay forwards and backwards, and ultimately decides that the ball has gone straight into Athanaze's palms. 'OUT' says the giant screen, and Bangladesh are nine down!

Taskin has a smile on his face and that is a good sign. The physio is out to check up on him and to conduct the mandatory concussion test

AS Joseph to Taskin Ahmed, no run, ouch! Sharp bumper on middle and off. Skids onto Taskin and he cannot make his decision soon enough. Almost ducks into the line of the ball and it spoons up to backward point

AS Joseph to Taskin Ahmed, no run, full on off. Taskin plays it back to the bowler, who fields it and hurls a throw that is well wide of the stumps. Gathered eventually by da Silva
