Lunch Bangladesh 386 and 49 for 2 (Hridoy 8*, Mushfiqur 5*, Warrican 2-20) need another 320 to beat West Indies 356 and 398 for 6 dec (Hodge 142, Wickham 78, Nayeem 2-72)

Jomel Warrican struck twice before lunch to put Bangladesh under pressure on the fifth day in Sylhet. The home side reached the break on 49 for 2 after West Indies declared on 398 for 6 in the morning.

Bangladesh would be disappointed with both dismissals. Tanzid Hasan didn't pick the change in the field and repeated the slog to get out. Najmul Hossain Shanto played back to a slightly fuller delivery, the bane of many of Bangladesh's batters against Warrican during this series.

Tanzid wasn't timing the ball regularly, but he struck four boundaries. The fourth was a whack towards midwicket off Warrican, who moved Joshua Da Silva after the delivery. The next ball, Tanzid cracked another one towards midwicket. This time Da Silva, usually the wicketkeeper, took the first outfield catch of his Test career.

Warrican then got one to spin back into Shanto's pads. After an on-field not-out from the umpire, West Indies got the wicket through the review.

West Indies' push for quick runs initially cost them three wickets in the morning session. Nayeem Hasan had Kavem Hodge, the overnight centurion, caught at fine leg for 142.

Justin Greaves was the next to depart after making just nine runs. He was given lbw to Mehidy Hasan Miraz before West Indies sent two pinch-hitters to up the ante. Shamar Joseph, who has the third most sixes in this WTC cycle, tried to go big but was caught at deep midwicket off Nayeem. Joshua Bishop clattered 20 off 11 balls with two sixes and a four, while Amir Jangoo was unbeaten on 39.
