Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim played out the entire post-Lunch session as Bangladesh go into Tea on 162-2 on the fifth and final day of the Sylhet Test which is seemingly heading towards a draw on Monday.

Hridoy, who had made a record 242 in the first innings – the highest ever Test score for a Bangladeshi – is batting on 80 alongside Mushfiqur, who is unbeaten on 40.

Bangladesh need 207 runs in the final session to win the Test, but given the four previous days ending prematurely due to bad light, the chances of the hosts pulling off a series-levelling win is next to impossible.

The session began with Bangladesh under some pressure, 49-2.

But the duo soaked in the pressure well and frustrated the visitors across 34 overs in the session.

Hridoy is now closing in on his second century of the match and his career, while Mushfiqur has crossed the seven thousand runs in Tests milestone in the session.

West Indies are leading the two-Test series 1-0, having won the Dhaka Test by eight wickets. A draw would earn them a 1-0 series win.
