Monday, 8 September 2014
Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn claimed five wickets for 39 runs on Sunday as West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 182 to take a first innings lead of 302 after 3 days of the first Test in Kingstown, Jamaica. The hosts are likely to enforce the follow-on for the 4th day of the 5-day encounter today (Monday). Benn got good support from part-time off-spinner Jermaine Blackwood, who claimed 2-14 at the Arnos Vale Ground. Bangladesh's effort was led by left-hander Mominul Haque, who topscored with 51, and captain Mushfiqur Rahim, who was left 48 not out. But only two other batsmen reached double figures as West Indies achieved a commanding position. Earlier, the West Indies stretched its overnight 407-3 to 484-7 before the declaration came an hour and a quarter into the morning session. Opener Kraigg Brathwaite stretched his maiden Test double century to 212 while veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul carried onto an unbeaten 85. The 21-year-old Brathwaite, resuming on 205, added 7 before his 563-minute vigil ended when he top-edged a sweep off Taijul Islam to short fine leg. The right-handed opener struck 14 fours off 447 balls. Chanderpaul remained unbeaten for the 47th time in his Test career. Taijul Islam finished with figures of 5-135 on his debut. The left-arm spinner, with 2 wickets overnight, also claimed captain Denesh Ramdin (5), who top-edged a swing to leg, and Jerome Taylor (10), who hit a full toss to long-on, according to a news agency.
