BAN vs WI Series: Windies Put Bangladesh Under Pressure In Day Two Of Second Test

Shannon Gabriel claimed two wickets and Alzarri Joseph complemented his brilliant batting with a prized scalp to put the West Indies firmly on top in the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

After resuming on 223-5, Da Silva and Joseph added 118 runs for the seventh wicket after Bonner missed out on converting his overnight half-century, falling for his career-best knock. Seamer Abu Jayed and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam finished with 4-98 and 4-108 respectively helping Bangladesh dismiss the West Indies on the stroke of the tea break.

Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan denied Bonner his maiden Test century, dismissing him for 90 off 209 balls after the right-hander resumed on 74. Mithun took a good catch at leg slip as Bonner departed after hitting seven boundaries, securing his second fifty in as many innings.

Da Silva brought up his 50 in 86 balls with a reverse sweep off Mehidy before being bowled by Taijul for 92.
Joseph, who batted aggressively followed him soon afterward, nicking Jayed to wicketkeeper Liton Das. He struck eight fours and five sixes in his 108-ball innings.

Jayed and Taijul soon wrapped up the West Indies' innings by picking the wickets of Jomel Warrican (two) and Shannon Gabriel (eight). The visitors won the first Test in Chittagong by three wickets in a sensational fashion, making 395-7 in the fourth innings in the fifth-highest successful run chase in the 144-year history of Test cricket.
