  1. 25.6Taskin Ahmed to Jangoo, no run86/3

    pushed back to mid-off, as he opens his stance up for this full ball on off. <b>That's lunch</b> <strong>11.32am</strong> A session of two halves. The first hour belonged to Bangladesh, and the second to West Indies. New-ball bowlers Taskin and Mahmud got the ball to swing, and generated considerable bounce with the hard ball. But from 27 for 3, Jangoo, who started with early boundaries, and debutant Wickham, who has looked at home against the spinners, have added an unbroken 59. The ball softened with time, and West Indies ensured they went to the break without any further damage. Jangoo enjoyed some luck, though. But will that continue? Join Ekanth after lunch to find out.

    Romel: "Taskin needs to be careful about no-ball. Sometimes a wicket can fall of that no-ball." <strong>is there an inside edge?!</strong> Litton and co go up, but the umpire is unmoved. Bangladesh don't review after gathering for a discussion. Oh, there was no bat if the first replay is to be believed. Jangoo thought of pushing at it, but withdrew his bat. The ball brushed his back leg off a short of a length, and went to the keeper
