West Indies dominates Bangladesh: Marlon Samuels hits a magnificent 260
The Samuels-Chanderpaul stand also improved the previous best for a fourth wicket against Bangladesh, erasing the 176-run stand involving Samuels and Sarwan in Dhaka 10 years ago.
Samuels survived a confident leg-before shout in paceman Hossain’s first over after lunch before steering the same bowler for a single to complete his double hundred.
Earlier, Samuels and Bravo continued to punish the hapless Bangladeshi bowlers after the West Indies resumed at 2-241.
In the last over before lunch, Bravo was adjudged leg-before off spinner Gazi as he tried to cut the ball, which hit the pad first and then the bat.
Bravo hit 10 boundaries during his 288-ball innings.
The Bangladeshi bowlers were found wanting on the slow track and their problems were compounded by edges falling short and a dropped catch in the slips by Naeem Islam off paceman Abul Hasan when Samuels was on 117.
Samuels took full advantage of the lapse and bettered his previous highest Test score of 123, which he made against New Zealand in Kingston earlier this year.
