Ravi Rampaul of the West Indies took two wickets to restrict Bangladesh to 164-3 at stumps after West Indies declared its first innings at 527-4 on day two of the first cricket test.
Opener Tamim Iqbal collected a stormy 72 from 71 balls but Bangladesh also lost opener Junaid Siddique (7) and Shahriar Nafees (31).
Naeem Islam (27) and Shakib Al Hasan (16) were unbeaten at stumps as Bangladesh still trailed by 363 runs.
Rampaul conceded 49 runs to take Nafees and Siddique. Skipper Darren Sammy removed Iqbal.
Earlier, Shivnarine Chanderpaul equaled a career-high unbeaten 203 and Dinesh Ramdin posted a century before the West Indies declared at 527 for four Wednesday, just minutes before the tea break on day two of the first cricket test against Bangladesh.
The West Indies resumed at 361-4 on Wednesday and didn’t lose a wicket while adding 166 runs in almost two full sessions.
Chanderpaul’s 203 came off 372 balls and Ramdin made 126 runs from 236 deliveries. It was Chanderpaul’s second double-century in test cricket, equalling the 203 he scored against South Africa in 2005.
