Tigers pounce in St Vincent

Bangladesh fought back on day three of the first Test against the West Indies, conceding a first-innings lead of 69.

The hosts resumed on 17 for one in reply to Bangladesh's 238 and would have been hopeful of building a big lead in St Vincent.

However, despite 94 from opener Omar Phillips and 53 from Dave Bernard, they were dismissed for 307 during the evening session.

Rubel Hossain and Mahmudullah both took three wickets for the tourists as the weakened West Indian line-up - many of their star names are not playing due to a dispute with the Board - showed its limitations.

Bangladesh faced a tricky spell in bat before stumps but managed to avoid the loss of any wicket as they reached 26 in the second innings. That meant they ended the day 43 in arrears.
