> Roston Chase's 5 for 36 bowled Bangladesh out for 142, and Brandon King's career-best 81 not out chased down 170 on day four. The second Test starts in Sylhet on 5 November.

**West Indies beat Bangladesh by eight wickets** in the first Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, on Saturday and lead the two-match series 1-0. Chasing 170, they finished on 170 for 2 in 35.1 overs on day four, through rain and bad-light stoppages.

- **Bangladesh:** 272 and 142
- **West Indies:** 245 and 170 for 2
- **Result:** West Indies won by 8 wickets
- **Player of the match:** Jomel Warrican (9 wickets)

## The chase

Opener **Brandon King** made a career-best **81 not out off 115 balls**, with 10 fours and a six. He was dropped on 70 and made Bangladesh pay. **John Campbell** made a quick 49 off 55 before Shoriful Islam bowled him.

## How Bangladesh collapsed

Bangladesh resumed on 79 for 6, 106 ahead. Captain **Roston Chase** took **5 for 36**, his fifth five-wicket haul in Tests, and left-arm spinner **Jomel Warrican** added 4 for 63 to his first-innings five, finishing with nine in the match.

Jaker Ali (22) fell to Warrican, caught by Chase. Chase then removed Taijul Islam to leave Bangladesh 127 for 9. **Nayeem Hasan** made a maiden Test fifty, 52 off 91 balls after being dropped on 21 and 29, before Joshua Bishop caught him off Chase.

## What the captains said

"The guys were determined, even though we didn't have a good start in the first innings," Chase said, Al Jazeera reported. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said: "All three departments didn't do well, especially in the field."
