West Indies were bowled out for 245 in their first innings, 27 runs behind Bangladesh's 272, with Tagenarine Chanderpaul making 56, John Campbell 54 and Justin Greaves 46, while captain Roston Chase finished unbeaten on 43 and off-spinner Nayeem Hasan took four wickets for 33 runs.

Chase then struck three times with the ball, removing first-innings centurion Shadman Islam for 13, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for 10 and Towhid Hridoy for a duck, before Warrican removed Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to leave Bangladesh six down.

Jaker Ali and Nayeem Hasan were both unbeaten on 18 when bad light ended play an hour early, with the hosts holding a lead of 106 runs going into the fourth day of the first Test, which runs until 1 November.
