West Indies all-out for 259 runs

West Indies were all-out for 259 runs in their first innings against Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series at Chattogram on Friday.

The visitors ended up 171 runs behind Bangladesh's first innings score of 430 runs.

Mehidy Hasan, who scored his first hundred in international cricket on Thursday also dazzled with the ball as he took four wickets for 58 runs.

Bangladesh struck twice right before tea break to reduce West Indies to 253-7.

After the tea break, it took Bangladesh only 19 balls to take the remaining three wickets to bundle out West Indies and take a healthy lead.

Nayeem Hasan struck in the penultimate over before tea-break to end the partnership between Jermaine Blackwood and Joshua Da Silva, who added 99 runs together and were trying to rebuild the innings for West Indies after seatbacks earlier in the day.

Joshua faintly edged one to the keeper Liton Das, after carefully playing 140 balls and scoring 42 runs.

In the last over before tea break, Mehidy Hasan dismissed Blackwood after he edged the ball to Liton while trying to glance a ball straying down the leg side.

The Caribbean side was dominating the post-lunch session as they added 64 runs without losing any wicket until the late double strike at the end which put Bangladesh again in the driving seat.
