Bangladesh are on course for an emphatic victory against West Indies in the second Test in Mirpur.

-

The hosts, who won the series opener in Chittagong by 64 runs, recorded a huge first innings total of 508. Mahmudulla­h hit a career-best 136 while captain Shakib Al Hasan (80), Shadman Islam (76) and Liton Das (54) all contribute­d half-centuries.

In response, the West Indies were 75-5 at stumps at the end of the second day. Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan (3-36) and left-arm spinner Shakib (2-15) did the damage with the ball.

The tourists still need 234 more runs to avoid the prospect of following on.
