West Indies set Bangladesh a target of 369

West Indies set Bangladesh a target of 369 in the fourth innings of the Sylhet Test. The visitors batted ten overs on the fifth morning, adding a further 53 runs in ten overs to their overnight total, and declared on 398 for 6.

Bangladesh have 78 overs to chase the target but bad light has stopped play before the scheduled finish of 4.30pm on the past four days.

West Indies' intention was quite apparent from the get-go. They wanted quick runs, but it instead brought Bangladesh more wickets. Kavem Hodge, who was unbeaten on 140 overnight, fell in the second over of the morning. He swept Nayeem Hasan straight down Hasan Mahmud's throat at fine leg, having struck 17 fours and a six in his 194-ball knock.

Justin Greaves then fell lbw to Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 9, before Shamar Joseph, promoted up the order for big-hitting, skied Nayeem for just 1 off three balls.

Coach Daren Sammy sent a message to the batters that they have two overs left, so Joshua Bishop struck two big sixes off Mehidy. He finished unbeaten on 20 off 11 balls, while Amir Jangoo was on 39 not out off 74 balls.

Hodge led the fourth day with his third Test century, but it was also the way West Indies started that they could return to the driving seat in the game. Brandon King and Joshua Da Silva added 85 runs for the opening stand, with the former making 61. King struck ten fours and a six in his 84-ball stay.

Hodge and Kevin Wickham then added 165 runs for the third wicket. Hodge was the dominating batter, finding regular boundaries, but Wickham also showed his potential in this match. He became the first West Indies batter in 48 years to score two fifties on his Test debut.
