West Indies 356 and 128 for 2 (Hodge 30*, Wickham 0*, Mehidy 1-30) lead Bangladesh 386 (Hridoy 242*, Mushfiqur 34, Warrican 4-104) by 98 runs
Bangladesh grabbed two West Indies wickets on the fourth morning to stay in the fight. The visitors extended their lead to 98, as they went to lunch on 128 for 2. Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took one wicket each after Brandon King and Joshua Da Silva added 85 for the opening partnership.
King and Da Silva got regular boundaries from the second over of the day. After King punched Hasan Mahmud twice through the covers, Da Silva drove Taskin Ahmed down the ground for his first boundary of the day. King then got two fours off Taskin in the 11th over, followed by Da Silva doing the same to Mahmud in the 13th over.
King deposited Nayeem Hasan back over his head for the first six, having already found a boundary earlier in the over. Taijul, though, had Da Silva lbw for 36. He has now dismissed Da Silva six times in Test cricket.
King survived a chance a little later. Towhid Hridoy stretched to his left at cover but couldn't grab his uppish drive. King was on 56 at the time.
Hodge struck four boundaries in quick succession, before Miraz was rewarded for some tight bowling. King edged him to slip, where Najmul Hossain Shanto took a good catch. The West Indies struck ten fours and a six in his 61. Hodge, meanwhile, struck Taijul for his first six just before lunch.
