West Indies Recover as Bangladesh Falls Behind by 268

In this session of the second Test between West Indies and Bangladesh at Sylhet on November 5, 2026, Bangladesh managed to recover from a difficult position. The hosts started their innings at 22 for two but were reduced to 51 for three after losing one wicket while adding just five runs. This collapse occurred despite the presence of injured player Shadman Islam in hospital with an unknown availability status. West Indies' seam bowlers including Seales, Joseph, and Greaves delivered disciplined bowling by maintaining good lines throughout the match. Earlier that day, Hasan Mahmud achieved a six-wicket haul to dismiss Bangladesh for 356 runs total. His performance marked his fifth five-for across different nations while being on home soil. The final four batters of West Indies contributed eighty-one combined runs pushing their innings past three hundred marks before facing the bowlers. Currently, the visitors remain twenty-sixty-eight runs behind in this crucial contest.
