WI take lead, 248/4 at tea

It was an impressive batting display from the West Indies batters as they lost no wicket in the second session and took a lead of 14 runs before the tea break on day 2 in the St Lucia Test on Saturday.

Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood collected 111 runs in the second session and the hosts were 248 for four.

Mayers was on 60 while Blackwood was unbeaten on 40 runs and made a partnership of 119 runs from 201 deliveries.

West Indies started day 2 perfectly, but just before the lunch break, Bangladeshi bowlers were looking aggressive and picked up four wickets. 

Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell were looking sharp in the middle and Bangladesh badly needed a breakthrough.

Seamer Shoriful Islam did the trick and dismissed Campbell. Campbell walked off after scoring 45 runs. 

Raymon Reifer came into the middle to support their skipper Brathwaite. Brathwaite smashed a half-century but could not carry on. Mehidy Hasan Miraz removed him.

In the next over, Khaled Ahmed came into the attack and provided his team a moment of celebration as he bowled out Reifer. Reifer walked back to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs.

In that same over Khaled dismissed Nkrumah Bonner back. After facing seven deliveries, Bonner went for a duck.
