WI start strong in historic Test

Sports Reporter
When Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss for a successive second time in the series, there was hardly any doubt about what his decision was going to be.
The touring skipper had chosen to field first on a benign pitch in the first Test and it was only obvious that his decision in the second Test would be no different as the green surface at the Beausejour Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia promised to offer something for the pace bowlers in West Indies' historic 500th Test match.
However, despite the bowling friendly conditions, the West Indies—helped by some poor bowling from the Tigers—finished on 153 fortwo at tea yesterday.
Pacer Shafiul Islam gave Bangladesh the much needed breakthrough by removing Kraigg Brathwaite to put an end to the 143-run opening stand and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam trapped in debutant Leon Johnson quickly to bring
the visitors back in contention. Bangladesh could have had a third as well but Taijul let off the shaky looking Kirk Edwards minutes before tea.
Considering the condition the Bangladesh team thinktank included three pace bowlers: Al-Amin Hossain, Robiul Islam and Shafiul Islam. Robiul and Shafiul came in place of Shuvagata Hom and Rubel Hossain. The other change of the game saw Anamul Haque replace Imrul Kayes, who was ruled out due to a skin infection.
But unfortunately, the two young West Indies openers Brathwaite and Johnson survived the first session without too much discomfort on what looked like a good pitch for the seam bowlers. They, for their part were in no hurry to throw away their wickets against the
visitor's poor bowling attack. Instead they concentrated on working on a good foundation for their innings in the historic Test match.
Bangladesh seamers completely failed to make them play enough in trying conditions for batsmen and wasted the opening period with the new ball.
The line and length bowled by the pacers was extremely easy for the batsmen to negotiate.
The conditions were completely different to the benign St Vincent wicket. However, the three seamers struggled to find their line and length and barely managed to utilize the early movement on the juicy surface.
Al-Amin's confidence seemed to be dented after being reported for having a faulty bowling action.
Shafiul, in his comeback series, was also struggling on the other side while Robiul, who came into action in the eighth over failed to inject any bite in the bowling attack.
