Bangladesh right-arm pacer Nahid Rana claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket, leading his team to dismiss the West Indies for 146 all out in response to Bangladesh's first-innings total of 164, thereby securing an 18-run lead, reports UNB.
Rana struck early, removing Mikyle Louis with a delivery clocked at 147.1 kph that drew an edge to the keeper.
At 25 for 1, the WI faced consistent pressure.
Kraigg Brathwaite fell to a rising delivery, fending it off the bat's shoulder to gully, leaving the hosts at 85 for 2.
Rana induced an edge from Kavem Hodge with a back-of-a-length ball. Keeper Litton Das adjusted mid-dive to take a one-handed catch, reducing the WI to 94 for 3.
Rana later dismissed Alzarri Joseph with a full toss that was chipped to mid-off, and sealed his five-wicket haul by trapping Kemar Roach lbw.
Roach reviewed, but ball tracking confirmed the decision. Rana’s efforts ended the WIs innings at 146.
Another right-arm pacer Hasan Mahmud took two wickets for the tourists.
In the first innings of the match, Bangladesh were bowled out for 164, with Jayden Seales taking four wickets. Shamar Joseph took three.
Shadman Islam was the highest-run-getter for Bangladesh with 64. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh’s captain, contributed with 36.
