The second Test clash between West Indies and Bangladesh at Sylhet’s international cricket venue unfolded with riveting turns on day two, leaving the Caribbean side firmly in the driver’s seat as umpires called an early halt due to fading bad light. Starting the day’s play at a solid 235 for four, West Indies’ batting lineup pushed their total to a final 356 all out, anchored by a career-defining century from middle-order batter Amir Jangoo. Jangoo, who resumed his innings unbeaten on 111, went on to notch his second Test hundred, finishing with 133 runs off 212 deliveries, marked by 13 crisp boundaries and two towering sixes, before being trapped by Bangladesh paceman Hasan Mahmud. Mahmud delivered a career-best bowling performance, finishing the innings with outstanding figures of six wickets for 90 runs, a haul that included the prized scalp of West Indies skipper Roston Chase for a first-ball golden duck immediately after Jangoo’s dismissal. Supporting Jangoo’s knock, Justin Greaves notched a steady half-century before falling for 51, while useful lower-order contributions came from Joshua Bishop (23), Shamar Joseph (16), Jomel Warrican (27 not out) and Jayden Seales (15). When Bangladesh stepped in to chase, their top order wobbled alarmingly early, slumping to 51 for three before veteran Mushfiqur Rahim and Towhid Hridoy steadied the ship, pushing the score to 88 for three undefeated before bad light suspended play. At the close, Hridoy stood on 29 not out and Rahim on 19, with Seales, Joseph and Greaves each claiming one wicket for the West Indies attack. As the sides head into day three, Bangladesh trail by 268 runs on first innings, facing an uphill battle to avoid a 2-0 series whitewash. In his post-play remarks, Jangoo noted the day’s batting conditions were far from straightforward, praising Bangladesh’s bowlers for making the most of the new ball. He admitted his side was slightly disappointed to fall short of their 400-run target, but expressed satisfaction with the 356-run total, attributing his patient knock to a team-wide focus on playing to individual strengths rather than reckless aggression. He also observed the pitch was gradually flattening, and emphasized West Indies would look to sustain tight pressure on the hosts’ batters on day three to lock in a commanding win.
