Bangladesh are in a battle to save the Sylhet Test, going into Lunch break on 49-2, still 320 runs away from the target, as West Indies push for a win on the fifth and final day at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

Last innings’ double centurion Towhid Hridoy is not out on 8 and is batting alongside the experienced Mushfiqur Rahim, unbeaten on 5.

Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim was the first to depart, getting caught at deep mid-wicket for 21 off 32 balls off a wreckless slog sweep against Jomel Warrican.

Tanzid had hit a boundary with the same shot on the previous delivery, which prompted a field change, which the left-hander either ignored or missed, as he hit the ball to the same region on the next delivery and was caught.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, the makeshift opener in place of Shadman Islam who will not bat in the Test owing to an ankle injury, was the next to depart, getting tangled in an awkward position to a sharply turning delivery from Warrican, which struck him on the pads.

The on-field umpire had initially ruled in favour of the batters, but West Indies successfully reviewed and reversed the decision.

Earlier in the session, West Indies resumed on an overnight 345-3 with Kavem Hodge unbeaten on 140 and Amir Jangoo on 20, leading by 315 runs.

The visitors batted with intent to score quick runs in the morning, and managed to add 53 runs in 10 overs for the loss of three wickets.

Overnight centurion Hodge was the first to depart, caught at fine leg off Nayeem Hasan for 142.

Justin Greaves (9) and Shamar Joseph (1) then also departed cheaply off Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nayeem respectively.

Joshua Bishop then a quickfire 11-ball 20 while Jangoo remained not out on 39 as West Indies declared their second innings on 398-6, setting a target of 369.
