Edwards Pair Gives West Indies on Top

Dhaka: Fidel Edwards grabbed five wickets off 29 balls in a superb display of fast bowling as the West Indies sent Bangladesh reeling at 204 for 7 at stump on day two after posting 355 in the second and final Test on Sunday.

Fidel Edwards wrecked Bangladesh's top order to take 5-58 in his lively opening spell for his 11th haul of five or more wickets in a Test innings.

Nasir Hossain was unbeaten on 34 and debutant Suhrawadi Shuvo on two not out at the stump on the second day of the match.

Bangladesh went for shots early in their innings as they raced to 60 runs off just 10 overs, but lost five wickets in the process to find themselves in deep trouble, but Shakib Al Hasan (73) and Naeem Islam (45) contribute 84-runs for sixth wicket and save follo-on.

Fidel Edwards had opener Tamim Iqbal and Shahriar Nafees caught by Darren Bravo at short-leg in his opening three overs before removing Raqibul Hasan and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim off successive deliveries in his fourth over.

His fifth victim was opener Imrul Kayes, who hit one six and five fours in his 26-ball 29 before being caught by Kraigg Brathwaite at square-leg.

Tamim was the other top-order batsman to reach double figures, hitting three fours in paceman Kemar Roach's opening over before falling for a 10-ball 14.

Kirk Edwards, 71 overnight, earlier cracked an impressive 121 for his second century in three Tests as the tourists added 102 runs to their overnight total of 253-5 before being bowled out in the second session.

The West Indies lost their last five wickets for 36 runs, with left-arm spinner Shakib finishing with 5-63 for his eighth haul of five or more wickets in a Test innings.

Kirk Edwards, who scored a hundred on Test debut against India at home in July, hit two sixes and 14 fours in his 273-ball knock before being trapped leg-before by Shakib after lunch.
