Shadman Islam's 105 off 234 balls was the innings of the Test's early days, and Nayeem Hasan's 4 for 33 gave Bangladesh a first-innings lead of 27. They would have gone into the third innings believing they were ahead. Inside 48.4 overs that belief had gone. Warrican and Chase bowled 35.4 overs between them, took nine wickets, and only Nayeem, with 52 off 91 from No. 8, stayed long enough to make the target awkward.
A chase of 170 on a turning pitch can become a long afternoon. Brandon King and John Campbell made sure it did not. Campbell's 49 came off 55 balls and King's 81 not out off 115, and the pace of the scoring took away the time Bangladesh's spinners needed to build pressure. Hodge's 31 off 27 ended it in 35.1 overs.
West Indies lead 1-0 going to Sylhet. Bangladesh have brought in Amite Hasan for Mominul Haque, and Mushfiqur Rahim, who missed this Test with a finger injury, remains in the squad.
