Key facts

Story
  • Bangladesh are 79-6 on day three of the first Test against West Indies in Mirpur.
  • Bangladesh hold a lead of 106 runs, according to Al Jazeera.
  • NDTV Sports says Chase took 3/25 and kept West Indies' hopes of victory alive.

What's new

Royston Chase, West Indies' captain, forced a collapse as Bangladesh slumped to 79 for 6 on day three of the first Test in Mirpur. Al Jazeera reports that Bangladesh's lead stands at 106 runs. NDTV Sports says Chase finished with figures of 3 for 25, and that his spell kept West Indies' hopes of beating Bangladesh alive after three days of play on Friday.

Why it matters

For cricket fans in India, this is a close contest between two teams that do not often meet in the spotlight. The result of this Test will also affect how the teams are placed in the wider series, so a strong finish by either side would matter.

What others say

Al Jazeera describes the day as a turning point that left West Indies on top. NDTV Sports frames the same spell as the reason West Indies remain in the match. The two outlets agree on the wickets and the scoreline, but they give different emphasis to who is in control.

What we don't know yet

The sources do not say whether Bangladesh will bat on and build a bigger lead, or when the match is expected to end. The final result is not yet known.
