Off-spinner Nayeem Hasan provided Bangladesh with a crucial breakthrough just before the lunch break on Day 3 of the ongoing Mirpur Test against West Indies, trapping in-form batter Justin Greaves LBW to break a threatening 51-run partnership.
At the end of the morning session on Friday, October 30, 2026, West Indies reached 213 for 6, trailing Bangladesh's first-innings total by 59 runs. Overnight batter Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who resumed on 43, completed his third Test fifty off 164 balls before left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam induced an edge caught cleanly by Najmul Hossain Shanto at slip. Chanderpaul departed for a patient 56 off 184 balls (6 fours, 1 six), ending a 65-run stand with Greaves.
