Hasan Mahmud's Five-For Rocks West Indies as Bangladesh Fight Back on Day Two in Sylhet

Bangladesh roared back into the second Test against West Indies on the morning of day two in Sylhet, with paceman Hasan Mahmud leading a collapse that left the tourists eight down. West Indies had resumed on 235 for 4, with centurion Amir Jangoo unbeaten on 111 and Justin Greaves alongside him, but the session belonged to the home bowlers. Jangoo, who had rescued his side from 27 for 3 on day one with a maiden Test century, added only 21 more runs before falling for 132 from 210 balls, an innings that included 13 fours and two sixes. Greaves battled to a patient 51 from 112 deliveries before he too departed, bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Mahmud was the chief destroyer, completing a five-wicket haul that included the dismissal of Joshua Bishop, stumped by Litton Das for a brisk 23 after the wicketkeeper stood up to the stumps. By the end of the morning session West Indies had reached 301 for 8, with only the tail remaining. It was a sharp turnaround after day one, when debutant Kevin Wickham's 61 and Jangoo's hundred had steadied the visitors following early strikes from Taskin Ahmed. Bangladesh, who trail in the series after the first Test in Mirpur, will now fancy their chances of keeping the tourists to a modest total and batting with a first-innings deficit they can manage. Play continues at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, with the match scheduled through November 9.
