Chase, Warrican trigger Bangladesh's slide after hosts grab slender lead

(Cricinfo) – Roston Chase and Jomel Warrican sunk Bangladesh to 79 for 6 when play was called off an hour before the scheduled 4.30pm close on the third day in Dhaka. Chase took three wickets off his first ten balls, before Warrican struck twice, as the hosts reeled in their own conditions.

Bangladesh’s overall lead grew to 106 runs, though, after they went 27 ahead in the first innings. Nayeem Hasan and Jaker Ali, brought in as Mominul Haque’s concussion sub after the latter hurt his head while trying to take a catch in West Indies’ first innings, were the unbeaten batters for Bangladesh in the second innings.

Tanzid Hasan was the first to go when he edged Shamar Joseph to Chase at second slip. Tanzid rounded off a poor outing in the Dhaka Test, having made 7 and a duck in the match. The batting collapse started in the 11th over, when Chase bowled Shadman Islam for 13. The opener, who had scored 105 in the first innings, missed a straight ball from the West Indies captain.
