Chase leads West Indies as Bangladesh collapse at Mirpur

On 30 October 2026, at the Mirpur stadium in Bangladesh, West Indies captain Roston Chase’s off‑spin sparked a Bangladesh collapse, leaving his side on top after day three of the Test.

Chase’s bowling dominates Chase claimed 3-25 in the second innings, removing Shadman Islam for 13, Towhid Hridoy for 2, and Najmul Hossain Shanto for 10. His spell triggered a rapid downturn for Bangladesh, who slipped to 79-6 before bad light forced an early finish.

Warrican complements the attack Left‑arm spinner Jomel Warrican, who had taken 5-53 in the first innings, added 2-19. He dismissed Liton Das lbw for 4 and later rattled Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s stump for 9, tightening the net around Bangladesh.

Early breakthrough for West Indies Shamar Joseph struck in the second over of Bangladesh’s reply, bowling opener Tanzid Hasan for a duck. The visitors conceded a 27‑run first‑innings lead after being bowled out for 245, with Nayeem Hasan’s 4-33 sealing the win.

Bangladesh’s struggle to chase After the collapse, Jaker Ali (a concussion substitute for Mominul Haque) and Nayeem Hasan were at 18 runs each when play was halted. Nayeem later said they aimed to add many runs, even targeting 200.

West Indies rebuild Tagenarine Chanderpaul made his third half‑century, scoring 56 off 184 balls, including a 65‑run fifth‑wicket partnership with Justin Greaves. Chanderpaul’s dismissal came when he edged a delivery from Shoriful Islam to second slip.

Bangladesh’s first innings Bangladesh were bowled out for 272 in their first innings. Nayeem Hasan’s wickets of Greaves (46), Shamar Joseph and Warrican confirmed Bangladesh’s lead, while Chase was stranded on 43.
