July 5 (CRICKETNMORE) - NORTH SOUND, Antigua, CMC – Seamer Kemar Roach’s sensational five-wicket haul inside the first hour sent Bangladesh crashing to the lowest total in Tests in nearly half a century, as West Indies took a stranglehold on the opening Test at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground here Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Opting to bowl first on a grassy strip on the opening day, the Windies crushed the tourists for an embarrassing 43 all out – their lowest-ever Test total and second shortest first innings in Test history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

They were tottering on 18 for five inside the first hour as Roach, extracting movement and bounce from a helpful pitch, rattled the Bangladesh top order to finish with extraordinary figures of 5-1-8-5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Miguel Cummins grabbed three for 11 from four overs and fellow fast-medium bowler  West Indies captain Jason Holder snared two for 10 from 4.4 overs to complete the destruction of the Bangladeshi innings inside the 19th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Opener Liton Das finished with the top score of 25 before he was sixth out, becoming Cummins’s first wicket of the morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Opener Kraigg Brathwaite then led a strong West Indies batting reply, stroking an unbeaten 88 as the hosts cruised to the close on 201 for two – already a lead of 158 runs heading into day two of the contest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Left-handed partner Devon Smith carved out his second half-century in seven innings since his return with 58 while Kieran Powell chipped in with a fluent 48.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There was little sign of the demolition to come even though openers Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal (4) played and missed in a couple of occasions against the new ball pair of Roach and Shannon Gabriel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n

However, the breakthrough came when when Roach squared up the experienced left-handed Tamim and had him caught behind for four off the final ball of his third over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In his next over, Roach had Mominul Haque caught at gully for one from a flat-footed drive. He then grabbed for his right hamstring, and subsequently required on-field attention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Despite his discomfort, the 30-year-old Roach’s fifth over was his most devastating, as he grabbed three wickets without conceding a run in the space of four deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

First, he removed immediate past captain Mushfiqur Rahim lbw playing forward, with a recourse to DRS failing to save the right-hander.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mushfiqur’s successor Shakib-Al-Hasan was then caught at third slip from a loose drive, also without scoring, before another former captain Mahmudullah was snared behind by wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich off the first ball he faced, nibbling outside off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Roach then limped off and Holder brought himself and Cummins into the attack, quickly ensuring there was no comeback story for the tourists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Cummins had Das caught at square cover before Nurul Hasan edged the last ball of the over to Holder at third slip for four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In his next over, Cummins removed Mehidy Hasan to a catch at second slip by Smith and Holder polished off the tail when he got Kamrul Islam caught behind for a ‘duck’ and bowled debutant Abu Jayed for two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On nine without loss at lunch, West Indies flourished after the break as Brathwaite and Smith strengthened their side’s advantage with an opening stand of 113.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brathwaite has so far struck eight fours off 204 deliveries while Smith has faced 123 balls and counted seven fours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Unbeaten on 48 at tea, Smith reached his eighth Test half-century in the second over following the break with a single to backward point off off-spinner Mehidy Hasan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, he survived only six overs more before edging a slash at Abu Jayed and edging a catch behind, giving the 24-year-old pacer his first Test wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Not for the first time, the left-handed Powell played with authority in an attractive innings to put on 81 for the second wicket with Brathwaite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He had faced 65 balls and struck seven fours when yet again, he fell frustrating shortly of a half-century, edging a prod at off-spinner Mahmudullah to slip, about 20 minutes before the close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
