West Indies vs Bangladesh — Match Centre

A double hundred and an 82 on the final day. It won't be wrong to say that Towhid Hridoy headlined the Test. Both teams had their moments to seize the initiative but the slow track at Sylhet in the end petered out for a draw. Windies batted first, were in early trouble and then Jangoo with a ton rescued them. Bangladesh then were one batter short as Shadman Islam got injured. And they were almost 200 runs behind and were 7 down. But Hridoy took matters in his own hands and struck a magnificent 242 not out. Windies had to bat well again and they did so. This time Hodge scored a 100 and Wickham again came good. Windies set a mammoth target of 369 on the final day. Bangladesh again lost early wickets but Hridoy once more stood tall and got solid company in the form of Rahim. Hridoy fell in the final session but his solid display in the previous two sessions had done enough for his side. Rahim scored 49 and during it also surpassed 7000 Test runs becoming the first Bangladeshi batter to do so. There was a milestone for Warrican as well who picked up his 100th Test wicket in the form of Hridoy. Windies despite the draw have clinched the series and have beaten a solid Bangladesh side who play very well at home. Windies will be pretty chuffed with this as they take the 2-match series 1-0.

15:56 Local Time, 09:56 GMT, 15:26 IST: The umpires continue to take readings. We feel it is getting better.

The umpire get together. The players in a huddle. The readings being taken. A huge cloud isn't helping the cause. Play has been stopped. Miraz and Hodge doing a job. The former teaching the latter actually.
