Tea Bangladesh 386 and 162 for 2 (Hridoy 82*, Mushfiqur 40*, Warrican 2-37) need a further 207 runs to beat West Indies 356 and 398 for 6 dec (Hodge 1402, Wickham 78, Taijul 2-118)
Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim bailed Bangladesh out of a tricky spot on the fifth day against West Indies in Sylhet. Hridoy was unbeaten on 82, to go with his 242 not out from the first innings. Mushfiqur was batting with him on 40, having added an unbroken 122 runs for the third wicket.
Along the way, Hridoy became the first Bangladesh batter to aggregate 300 or more in a Test match, beating Mominul Haque's tally of 281 against Sri Lanka in 2018. He became the ninth batter to score 300 or more against West Indies in a single Test.
Mushfiqur Rahim, meanwhile, became the first Bangladesh batter to reach 7,000 runs in Test cricket.
Hridoy started the day's second session with couple of boundaries off Roston Chase, before he hit Jomel Warrican for a cover-driven four. Mushfiqur, after reaching his milestone, hit Joshua Bishop for a boundary with a cut shot, before Hridoy reached his half-century off the same bowler.
Hridoy continued to make merry, clattering Chase through midwicket, before hammering Bishop down the ground. He struck the same bowler through wide long-on, before Mushfiqur guided Shamar Joseph for four through point.
Mushfiqur and Hridoy, both from the northern town of Bogra, got Bangladesh out of trouble after Warrican took two wickets on the fifth morning. Tanzid Hasan holed out to deep midwicket where Joshua Da Silva, usually a wicketkeeper, took his first outfield catch. Tanzid perhaps didn't notice Da Silva moving to the exact position for the catch in the deep, although the left-hander's choice of shot on the fifth day of a Test was questionable.
Warrican then trapped Shanto lbw for 14. Shanto, opening the batting in place of the injured Shadman Islam, went on the back foot to a delivery that spun back into him, beating his inside edge. It was given not out initially, but West Indies sent him back after a successful review.
In the morning session, West Indies added 53 runs to their overnight 345 for 3, losing three more wickets. Kavem Hodge fell for 142, having struck 17 fours and a six during his 194-ball stay. Justin Greaves scored nine while Shamar Joseph, promoted for some big-hitting, managed just one run. Joshua Bishop smashed two sixes and a four in his 11-ball 20, while Amir Jangoo was unbeaten on 39.
