Sunday, 2 December 2018
NEW DELHI, Dec 01 (Hindustan Times): Bangladesh reduced West Indies to 75-5 at stumps after racking up 508 on Saturday in its first innings on Day 02 of the second Test and in the process, equalled a feat that was last achieved 128 years ago.
Kraigg Brathwaite, Kieran Powell, Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase and Shai Hope were all bowled by the Bangladesh bowlers - the first time the top five have all been dismissed in such a manner in a Test innings since 1890.
Off spinner Mehidy Hasan and left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan led the way, spinning the ball viciously as West Indies slumped to 29-5 in 12 overs.
It was the first time for Bangladesh that all eleven batsmen got into double figures.
It was the 14th occasion in Test cricket history.
The last team to have all 11 batsman reach double figures in an innings was South Africa, who attained the feat against England in 2016.
