  1. West Indies favourites now?

    It was wide, it was there to hit but again it didn't get up enough. It's not a pitch to play those extravagant drives on.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Naim b Holder 17 (Ban 29-2)

    Jason Holder points his finger and wheels away in celebration. You can't help but love him.

    Mohammad Naim goes for a cut but the slow, sticky, stodgy nature of this pitch sees Mohammad Naim chop onto his stumps.

  4. Liam Plunkett
    England 2019 World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    Bangladesh can't afford to leave this until the end the way West Indies did because they haven't got those hitters lower down the order.

  5. Ban 26-1

    Naim 16, Das 1

    There was almost a flicker of a smile from Andre Russell after that wicket. Less so now as Naim repeats his earlier pull and heaves it for four a little unconvincingly.

    It has been an interesting start.

  6. Liam Plunkett

    I've played a lot against Liton Das in the Bangladesh Premier League. He's so talented, particularly in his home conditions so this should suit him and he has a big opportunity to show it.

  7. Liton Das is Bangladesh's number three today.

  8. Liam Plunkett

    Andre Russell has used his cutter nicely there. Shakib was trying to hit it for six but that's never easy with the pace just taken off it slightly.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    West Indies are very much still in this. Bangladesh haven't got away from them yet.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Shakib c Holder b Russell 9 (Ban 21-1)

    Now Andre Russell does strike! Shakib Al Hasen, Bangladesh's key man, skies a top-edge and Jason Holder doesn't drop those.

  11. Liam Plunkett
    England 2019 World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    Maybe he should stick to backward point.

  12. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Oh no. Just as we've heaped the praise on him!

  13. dropped catch

    Naim dropped on 11

    Would you believe it? Things don't get better for Andre Russell. They get worse!

    Hayden Walsh has dropped a sitter off his bowling.

  14. Dre Russ is coming on for a bowl.

    In the words of D:ream - things can only get better...

  15. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was brilliant from Hayden Walsh.

  16. Ban 20-0

    Target 143

    The sweeps will come later but you're not going to see many of them off Jason Holder's bowling. You'd end up needing a jaw reconstruction.

    Dwayne 'DJ' Bravo is grinning after making an untidy but effective stop in the field. West Indies look on it.

  17. Liam Plunkett
    England 2019 World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    Bangladesh will be used to playing on pitches like this. We'll probably see them utilise the sweep and reverse sweep a little more than West Indies did.

  18. Ban 17-0

    Need 126 more runs to win

    37-year-old Ravi Rampaul uses his experience to drag the over back after the early boundary. I was surprised to learn England's team have an older average age than the West Indies one.

    Some of these players feel like they've been around forever.

  19. Ban 14-0

    Four more!

    Mohammad Naim looked decent in Bangladesh's opener against Sri Lanka and here he latches onto some short stuff from Rampaul.

  20. Liam Plunkett
    England 2019 World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    Bangladesh will be happy with this start. Both batters look in decent touch.
