SYLHET, Bangladesh, Nov 5, CMC – West Indies reached 322 for eight at lunch against Bangladesh on the second day of the second Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium here on Friday.

He also accounted for the wicket of Joshua Bishop, as the West Indies, who resumed on 235 for four, slipped to 297 for seven.

Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz then claimed the important scalp of Justin Greaves for 51 just before the break to leave the match in the balance.
