Fidel Edwards and Kirk Edwards save West Indies control

Bangladesh 204 for 7 (Shakib 73, Naeem 45, Nasir 33*, Fidel Edwards 5-58) follow West Indies 355 (Kirk Edwards 121, Powell 72, Shakib 5-63) by 151 runs

Five wickets from Fidel Edwards and a century from namesake Kirk put West Indies in manage of the second Test next to Bangladesh.

Kirk Edwards scored 121 as the tourists were bowled out for 355 soon after lunch on Day Two in Mirpur.

Fidel Edwards then had the hosts reel on 59 for five, previous to Shakib Al Hasan, who had previous claim five wickets, led the revival with 73 as the hosts stopped up 151 runs at the back on 204 for seven.

Fidel Edwards first detached Tamim Iqbal, who had hit three boundaries off the preceding Kemar Roach over, thanks to a fine short-leg catch from Darren Bravo, who pouched an easier chance two overs later in the same position to send away Shahriar Nafees.

Raqibul Hasan was lbw in the paceman's next over, follow next ball by Mushfiqur Rahim, wedged by Shivnarine Chanderpaul at slip.

Imrul Kayes, who had seem oblivious to the slaughter at the other end in scoring 29 off 26 balls as well as a pulled six off Roach, was next to go, cutting the ball directly to Kraigg Brathwaite at square leg.

Shakib hit succeeding fours off Edwards, one off an edge and the other a directly drive, but settled in to see his side throughout to tea without further damage.

Shakib establish the boundary again off the first delivery after tea, and reserved up a run rate of better than a run a ball as he passed 50.

He hammers three boundaries off one Darren Sammy more than but were bowled by Devendra Bishoo having put on 84 with Naeem Islam.

That would have represent a good evening for Bangladesh but Naeem was absurdly run out for 45.

Fidel Edwards ended the day with figures of five for 58.

Earlier, Kirk Edwards higher to three figures, but had a caress of luck on the way when he was drop by Mushfiqur Rahim on 90.

He then fractured two quick fours to move to within moving distance of his hundred, and bring it up off 224 balls with a lovely straight drive.

At the additional end, Marlon Samuels had progress to 48 without any real harass, but he was uproot in the 113th over, when Nasir Hossain took a dramatic catch off his own bowling to remove him.

The runs then dried out up short of a Kirk Edwards six and, with the pressure telling, Carlton Baugh tried to cut Shakib but only found the hands of Kayes and departed for six. Sammy then trod on his own stumps.

Kirk Edwards was out soon after lunch, trapped lbw by Shakib, who then detached Fidel Edwards to claim figures of five for 63 and end the West Indies innings.
