Bangladesh slumped to 79 for 6 in their second innings as Roston Chase took three wickets on day three of the first Test against West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, with bad light ending play after 29 overs and Bangladesh's lead standing at 106 going into day four.
Resuming on 134 for 4, West Indies were eventually bowled out for 245, handing Bangladesh a 27-run first-innings lead. Jomel Warrican's 5 for 53 had already done the bulk of the damage in Bangladesh's own first innings of 272, while Nayeem Hasan's 4 for 33 was the key breakthrough that brought West Indies' reply to a close.
Roston Chase accounted for Shadman Islam, Towhid Hridoy, and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, the last lbw for 10, as Bangladesh's second innings lost its way soon after it began. Shamar Joseph removed Tanzid Hasan for a duck in just the second over, caught by Chase at gully, before Jomel Warrican added the wickets of Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to leave the innings in serious trouble.
Jaker Ali and Nayeem Hasan steadied the innings with an unbroken 26-run stand for the seventh wicket, both finishing unbeaten on 18 when bad light forced an early close for the third straight day of the match. Their partnership, though modest in size, was the difference between a lead in serious danger and one that still gives Bangladesh something to work with on day four.
Bangladesh's bowlers, led by Warrican's five-wicket haul and Nayeem's breakthrough, clawed the hosts a narrow first-innings advantage, but Chase's spell through the top and middle order means that lead of 106 is far from secure with four second-innings wickets already down. Day four will be shaped by how far Jaker Ali and Nayeem Hasan can push the score before exposing the rest of the order, and by how quickly West Indies' spin and pace combination can finish the innings off.
Roston Chase's all-round contribution with the ball makes him the standout pick from West Indies' attack for the remainder of the Test, while Jomel Warrican's returns across both innings keep him the sharper value option from the same side. For Bangladesh, Nayeem Hasan's double contribution with bat and ball is worth tracking into day four.
