Fast bowler Jayden Seales has taken 4-5 in almost 16 overs to give West Indies the advantage over Bangladesh on day two of the second Test.

Seales bowled 10 maiden overs in total and helped to mop up the tail on Sunday as the tourists were all out for 164 in 71.5 overs in their first innings.

West Indies trail by 94 runs after reaching 1-70 at stumps in reply. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite is 33 not out and Keacy Carty is on 19. Mikyle Louis was the only wicket taken by Bangladesh, caught behind off Nahid Rana (1-28).

Bangladesh had earlier resumed on 2-69 at Sabina Park after only 30 overs were bowled on an opening day limited by a wet outfield and bad light.

The visitors went to lunch in Kingston at 6-122, having added 53 runs in the morning session off 28 overs for the loss of four more wickets. Shamar Joseph (3-49) bowled Shahadat Hossain (22) to end a 73-run partnership for the third wicket with opener Shadman Islam which had rescued Bangladesh from 2-10.

Islam top-scored with 64, including five fours and a six.

Three more wickets quickly followed before lunch — Litton Das (one) was caught by Kavem Hodge off Seales, followed by Jaker Ali (one) and Islam to leave Bangladesh on 6-98.

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed a 75-ball 36 and Taijul Islam got 16 runs in 66 deliveries as the pair added 41 for the seventh wicket.

Bangladesh were all out in the afternoon and West Indies reached tea at 0-16 in a cautious 10 overs.
