Players are out in the middle. Will be spin to start from Bangladesh... Taijul from the Courtney Walsh end with a slip, silly point and short leg in place.
Phil Simmons | Bangladesh coach: On that first day, the wicket dried out a lot after being under the sun and because of the late start. It didn't have the moisture it would've had in the morning. We wanted to put them under pressure by batting and putting up a good score. We need to have more patience. There's always a period where you are under stress from the team that's bowling. Need to get through that. We have to score against good bowling. Can't just stay there and survive. Discussions with the bowling group is that we bowled in good areas but weren't successful. Patience is the word on this wicket. Not a wicket where you can blast out someone.
Pitch report | Samuel Badree: I do think that spin will have a greater impact the deeper we go. Bowling from the Courtney Walsh end, there are areas of bareness that will help them. We saw Taijul turning it sharply yesterday. At the other end, there are fissures that are increasing. It will create sideways movemet and variable bounce.
Day 3, 9.15am local: Hello and welcome to our coverage as we look ahead to the third day's play at Sabina Park. This has been an incredibly slow-scoring Test so far. The average run-rate of both teams is just 2.1 rpo, which is mainly because of the very slow nature of the pitch. There's hardly any pace in it, nor much bounce, and shot-making has proved rather difficult. Add to that the slow outfield, and you have a situation where even good shots result in just ones and twos. There's no taking away from the quality of bowling though. We saw fiery spells from Shamar Joseph and Nahid Rana yesterday, while Jayden Seales produced the most economical spell in Test cricket in close to 50 years. The pitch has offered significant lateral movement, and the Bangladesh spinners even found sharp turn last evening. At this stage you would say West Indies are ahead in the game, but things can turn around very quickly.
So West Indies are trailing by 94 runs with nine wickets in hand.
Shamar Joseph:We always wanted to come out here and give our best. We had a few conversations with the bowling coach, he told us to stick to our basics as much as possible. For me, I just stick to the plans. I try to bowl as fast and accurately as possible. I try to bowl it on a good line and length all the time. (On Jayden Seales’ bowling) He brings a lot of aggression to the table. I enjoy watching him bowl. Things always don’t go your way but getting three wickets today was pleasing for me.
