Taskin Ahmed claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket, providing Bangladesh with a glimmer of hope in the Antigua Test on Monday.
In his 15th Test, Taskin claimed six wickets to dismiss the West Indies for 152, leaving Bangladesh with a target of 334 runs to chase.
Beginning the day with a declaration at their overnight score of 269/9, the Tigers aimed to exploit the early morning conditions — a strategy that proved successful.
Taskin Ahmed delivered a remarkable performance, striking twice early on.
Shoriful Islam supported by dismissing West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, leaving the visitors at 61/3 by Lunch.
After the interval, Taskin took center stage, claiming four more wickets, including first-innings centurion Justin Greaves, to finish with outstanding figures of 6/64 in 14.1 overs.
Captain Mehidy Hasan contributed with two wickets, while Taijul Islam added one to the tally.
