Bangladesh crumble again in West Indies

West Indies are in complete control of the first Test against Bangladesh in North Sound, with the visitors crumbling to be 6-62 at stumps on day two.

Bangladesh's batsmen failed for a second time in the first cricket Test against West Indies in North Sound as the home side closed in on a three-day victory.

The tourists ended day two on Thursday on 6-62 in 18 overs - after their first-innings of 43, the lowest score ever for Bangladesh - to trail West Indies by 301 runs with only four second-innings wickets left.

West Indies resumed overnight on 2-201 and went on to 406 all out, with Kraigg Brathwaite scoring 121, Shai Hope 67 and Devon Smith 58.

West Indies had taken complete control on Wednesday after Kemar Roach claimed a remarkable five wickets in 12 balls and Bangladesh posted the second shortest Test first innings of all time, lasting just 18.4 overs.

Roach became the third cricketer, after Australian Monty Noble and South Africa's Jacques Kallis, to take five wickets in 12 deliveries, the fewest number in which the feat has been achieved.
