Nayeem Hasan struck on the stroke of lunch on Friday to remove Justin Greaves lbw for 46, leaving West Indies on 212 for six in the Mirpur Test, still 60 runs behind Bangladesh’s 272.
Roston Chase was unbeaten on 30 at the interval.
Greaves shuffled across early to counter the turn, but the length ball spun back sharply, stayed a fraction low and hit the front pad. The umpire raised the finger and he walked off without a review, having made 46 from 103 balls.
Bangladesh had missed a chance moments earlier. Chase, on 27, pushed forward to a Nayeem delivery that bounced and turned in, and the ball popped up off the inside edge towards short leg, where Mominul Haque shifted left, then dived right and spilled it.
Bangladesh also had to cope without Litton Das behind the stumps again. The wicketkeeper-batter, who had taken a blow to the elbow while batting on Thursday, returned to the gloves but left the field midway through the 72nd over, and Jaker Ali took over.
Chase and Greaves added 50 for the sixth wicket, steadying the innings after Chanderpaul’s dismissal. Runs came with ease on a pitch that held up well, although the occasional ball kept low or turned sharply, and Chase struggled against Nayeem and Miraz.
Shoriful Islam had provided the morning’s first breakthrough in his third over. Tagenarine Chanderpaul drove at a full delivery outside off without getting behind the line, and Najmul Hossain Shanto held the edge at second slip, ending a 65-run stand with Greaves.
Chanderpaul’s 56 came from 184 balls and included a six and six fours. He had reached his third Test fifty off 164 balls with a single off Taijul Islam, content to absorb dot balls in the manner of his father Shivnarine.
West Indies resumed on 134 for four and added 42 in the first hour, reaching drinks on 176 for five. A slog sweep for six off Taijul had earlier lifted the fifth-wicket stand to 50, while Hasan Mahmud and Taijul created no chances early on.
Bad light had curtailed both previous days, so the umpires will add 15 minutes to the second and third sessions if conditions allow, though the first session stays at two hours. Play resumes after an interval of around 30 minutes.
