This after Kraigg Brathwaite (51) and John Campbell put on the team’s first century opening stand in nearly four years was testament to Bangladesh’s fight. Three off the four West Indies wickets to fall in the opening session came in a 15-ball period after Bangladesh finally succeeded in their quest to have the ball changed. From 100/0, West Indies had slipped to 132/4 with the visitors finding their voice to welcome the new batters ahead of a nervy 10-minute period before Lunch. Until then it was rather smooth sailing for West Indies, with Brathwaite and Campbell continuing rather serenely from the team’s overnight total of 67/0. His fuller lines weren’t exactly bringing the uneven bounce into play and were allowing the batters to lean into drives.
