Hridoy gets to maiden Test century but Warrican makes it West Indies' morning

Lunch Bangladesh 205 for 7 (Hridoy 100*, Warrican 3-60) trail West Indies 356 (Jangoo 133, Wickham 61, Greaves 51, Mahmud 6-90) by 151 runs

West Indies took control of the Sylhet Test after picking up four Bangladesh wickets in the first session of the third day. Bangladesh had Towhid Hridoy's maiden Test century to be happy about, but they were precariously placed at 205 for 7 at lunch with Jomel Warrican picking up three wickets and Roston Chase one.

Bangladesh are also unlikely to have Shadman Islam bat in the first innings, which means they are effectively eight down and still over 150 runs behind in the first innings.

After pace put Bangladesh on the back foot on the second day when they responded to West Indies' 356, it was spin that upended them on the third morning. Warrican was accurate as usual, taking his series haul to 12 wickets. Chase, meanwhile, now has six in the series. But Bangladesh did manage to add 117 runs in the session, thanks mainly to Hridoy.

Warrican removed Mushfiqur Rahim with a dipping and turning delivery in the eighth over of the morning, Mushfiqur hitting straight to Chase - who scooped the ball up diving to his left - at cover to fall for 34. Mushfiqur waited for a confirmation from West Indies captain Chase before walking off.

Warrican then removed Litton Das in almost identical fashion in his next over when the batter hit the ball to cover where Brandon King didn't have to work too hard to take the catch.

A string of boundaries followed as Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz tried to push the scoring along, but Mehidy couldn't last long, Justin Greaves running across from slip to the leg side to intercept his lap sweep and taking a sharp diving catch off Chase's bowling.

Warrican then had Hasan Mahmud caught behind for one, and Hridoy was in danger of being stranded at the other end at that point.

He chose attack, and sent Chase for a six and a four in the next over, before hammering another boundary in his next. His tickle off Jayden Seales took him to 99, before another single off Chase got him to his century.

On the second day, West Indies gave themselves enough to bowl with after Amir Jangoo scored 133 and there were half-centuries from Kevin Wickham, the debutant, and Justin Greaves.

Bangladesh had to open with Nayeem Hasan because of Shadman's unavailability, but the makeshift opener lasted just five balls before edging Seales to slip. Tanzid Hasan toe-ended Justin Greaves to cover, where Wickham took a good catch, and Shamar Joseph had Najmul Hossain Shanto's number, hitting his off stump with a beauty from around the wicket.
