CHITTAGONG – Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican and off-spinner Roston Chase took two wickets apiece to lead a West Indies fightback against Bangladesh at the end of day two in the first cricket Test here on Friday at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

Warrican and Chase, along with fellow spinner Devendra Bishoo, accounted for all five Bangladesh wickets to fall in the evening session, as the hosts slipped to 55 for five, an overall lead of 133 runs.

On a day which saw 17 wickets falling, Bangladesh failed to take full advantage after claiming a 78-run first innings lead, led by 17-year-old Nayeem Hasan, who became the youngest debutant to claim five wickets and the fourth youngest of all time to take a five-for in Tests.

Resuming from their overnight total of 315 for eight in their first innings, Bangladesh added just nine more runs before Warrican claimed the final two wickets. (CMC)
