West Indies Rahkeem Cornwall has earned his second Test five-wicket haul as the visitors finished the third day of the second Test with 154 runs lead against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan were sailing for the home side but after Tea Cornwall broke the highest partnership of the inning of 126 runs between them.

The “Mountain Man” finished his spell with 5 for 74 runs as he believes Windies are slightly in the driver’s seat at the moment. He admitted anything over 400 runs lead will be comfortable for them.

“I think we are slightly in the driver’s seat. Tomorrow is an important day for us. We just have to bat well in the first hour. We have to be in a reasonable position at lunch so that we can set a reasonable target for Bangladesh. We can have a run at Bangladesh in the end (of the day). Anything over 400 will be comfortable for us.” said Cornwall after day’s play.

Right-arm offbreak took the Mirpur pitch’s bounce as his strength and helped his team to get a decent position for second innings.

“It is always a good feeling to take five wickets. I helped put the team in a good position to win the team. The ball bounces a bit more in Dhaka. There was not much bounce or spin in Chittagong. I got a bit more purchase here. I worked with what I get, with whatever pace I get out of the wicket, I use it as my strength.”
