Day’s successful spinner, Warrican took two more important wickets of skipper Mominul Haque (26) and Shadman Islam (59). Shadman made a patient half century with six boundaries, due to the umpire's wrong decision the opener had to return to the pavilion though he could have called for a review but didn't. Mominul returned by lofting a catch to John Campbell at midwicket.
After winning the toss Mominul elected to bat first but opener Tamim Iqbal didn’t shine as he got out early by Kemar Roach with 9 runs. Number three Najmul Hossain Shanto (25) was run out unfortunately after a decent partnership of 43 runs with Shadman.
Warrican picked up three wickets, while roach got one for Windies.
Brief Score:
Bangladesh: 242/5 (Shadman 59, Shakib 39*, Mushfiqur 38, Liton 34*, Warrican 3/58, Roach 1/44)
