Bangladesh hard but West Indies still favourites to win

Bangladesh 231 and 164 for 3 (Tamim 82*, Mushfiqur 33*) need another 344 runs to beat West Indies 355 and 383 for 5 dec (Bravo 195, Edwards 86, Chanderpaul 59*)


Bangladesh face a hard battle to save the series-deciding second and final cricket Test against the West Indies in spite of opener Tamim Iqbal's bold winning 82 on Tuesday.

The host, chasing an unlikely victory target of 508, was 164 for three in its second innings at stumps on the last but one day of the match in Dhaka. Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim was victorious on 33.

Earlier, Darren Bravo shattered five sixes and 12 fours on his way to a 297-ball 195, before the West Indies, most important by 124 runs on the first innings, confirmed its second innings closed on 383 for five. The first Test of the two-match series broken in a draw in Chittagong.
