West Indies Need 162 More Runs To Win Dhaka Test After Bowling Out Bangladesh

West Indies need 162 more runs on the fourth day of the Dhaka Test to beat Bangladesh after bowling out the hosts for 142 in their second innings.

Bowling Performance

Bangladesh had resumed their fourth-innings batting at 79 for 6 before being restricted around a rain break. West Indies captain Roston Chase finished with 5 wickets for 36 runs, a spell that took him past 100 Test wickets. Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican supported him with figures of 4 for 63. No. 8 batter Nayeem Hasan resisted with a maiden Test half-century, scoring 52 before falling as the last wicket to Chase with a mis-hit to mid-on. Earlier in the morning, Warrican pinned Hasan Mahmud lbw for 8, and Chase dismissed Taijul Islam lbw after Taijul hit a reverse sweep for four.

The Chase Begins

West Indies reached 8 for 0 before lunch in their 170-run chase, with Kraigg Brathwaite's opening partner John Campbell surviving three close lbw appeals from Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Umpire Nitin Menon turned down all three appeals. West Indies now require another 162 runs to win the match.

Context

Test cricket matches often turn quickly when spinners get help from worn pitches on the third and fourth days of a game. Both teams have traded advantages in this World Test Championship fixture, with Bangladesh building a first-innings total of 272 before the West Indies response of 245 led by Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Roston Chase.
