Roach puts West Indies in control on day 2

block

AP, St Lucia :
Fast bowler Kemar Roach grabbed 5-33 Sunday as the West Indies seized control of the second Test against Bangladesh as 14 wickets tumbled on day two at the Beausejour Stadium.
The visitors did well to restrict the West Indies to 380 all out after they had resumed on 246-3, despite Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s unbeaten 84.
But Roach then bowled with pace and good control to derail Bangladesh, which limped to stumps on 104-7, still trailing by 276.
Only Tamim Iqbal, with 48 at the top of the order, offered much resistance. Roach’s new ball partner, Jerome Taylor, supported well with 2-33.
Roach struck with the new ball just before tea when Shamsur Rahman (1) tickled down the leg side and wicket-keeper and skipper Denesh Ramdin flew to his left to grab a one-handed catch.
