Hodge’s Unbeaten 140 Puts West Indies in Command Against Bangladesh

Kavem Hodge's magnificent unbeaten 140 has put West Indies firmly in control of the second Test against Bangladesh, with the visitors leading by 315 runs heading into the final day in Sylhet.

West Indies closed day four on 345 for three in their second innings, having added 338 runs for the loss of just three wickets on the day. Hodge was joined by an unbeaten 78 from Wickham as the pair piled on the pressure after Towhid Hridoy's 242 not out had threatened to swing the match Bangladesh's way.

Bangladesh had earlier been bowled out for 386 in their first innings, with Warrican taking four for 104, while Mushfiqur Rahim contributed 34 in support of Hridoy.

Hodge answers Hridoy

Hridoy's marathon innings on day three had given Bangladesh a slender first-innings lead, but Hodge's calm, unbeaten hundred has turned the contest on its head and left the hosts chasing a huge target.

One day to seal it

With seven wickets still in hand and a lead already past 300, West Indies will look to bat Bangladesh out of the game on the final morning before turning to their bowlers to force a result.
