Bangladesh all out for 43

Sports Desk: Bangladesh made a humiliating record of being bundled out for their lowest ever total in the first innings of the first Test against West Indies when they were bowled out for 43 runs in 18.4 overs at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Wednesday.

Pacer Kemar Roach finished with 5-8 while Miguel Cummins and Jason Holder bagged 3-11 and 2-10 respectively to leave Bangladesh dismissed for their lowest ever score, lowering their previous lowest of 62 against Sri Lanka at Colombo in 2007.

Liton Das made highest 25 runs and rest of the players failed to reach the double figure.

Bangladesh top-order batsmen had no clue to face Roach as the 30-year old pacer bagged 5-8 in his only spell, completing his eighth five-wicket haul in his Test career.

Opener Tamim Iqbal was the first man to become the victim of Roach when he was caught behind in the final ball of the fifth over after scoring only four runs.

Mominul Haque followed him in the next over of Roach as he was edged to the gully after scoring only one run.

Roach, in his next over, got rid of Mushfiqur Rahim (0), Sakib al Hasan (0) and Mahmudullah (0) in between four balls to pile more misery on Bangladesh.

Cummins joined the party as he dismissed Liton, Nurul Hasan (four) and Mehedi Hasan (one) in quick successions while Holder removed Kamrul Islam (0) and Abu Jayed (two) to end Bangladesh’s first innings.

Earlier, West Indies skipper Holder won the toss and elected to field first against the Tigers.

Pacer Abu Jayed, who played three Twenty20 internationals previously for the Tigers, was making his Test debut through this match and became the 88th Bangladeshi cricketer to represent his nation in the longer version of the game.

Bangladesh XI: Tamim Iqbal, Liton Kumar Das, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Mahmudullah Riyad, Nurul Hasan , Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rubel Hossain, Abu Jayed and Kamrul Islam.

West Indies XI: Kraigg Brathwaite, Devon Smith, Kieran Powell, Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich, Jason Holder (captain), Devendra Bishoo, Kemar Roach, Miguel Cummins and Shannon Gabriel.
