Jayden Seales delivered remarkable bowling figures of four for five off 15.5 overs as West Indies dismissed Bangladesh for 164 on the second day of the second Test at Sabina Park.


Seales performance marked the most economical bowling in Test cricket since 1977 (minimum 60 balls).


In reply, West Indies lost Mikyle Louis early, but Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty steadied the innings, guiding the team to 70 for 1 before bad light brought an early end to play for the second consecutive day.

As in the first Test in Antigua when Bangladesh were pummelled by 201 runs, it was the Caribbean fast bowlers who feasted on their opponents after they resumed on 69 for two following a rain-shortened first day.


Seales took the last three wickets of the innings after Shamar Joseph had done the early damage on the second morning to finish with three for 49.


Opener Shadman Islam top-scored with 64 before he was sixth out with captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz (36) the only other touring player showing any meaningful resistance.


In their last 15 Test innings in the West Indies across four tours since 2014, this is the Bangladeshis' 11th total below 200.


The Bangladesh seamers also started tight, giving away only 16 runs in the ten overs before tea. After tea, Nahid Rana breached the 150kph mark multiple times and had Louis caught behind for 12.
