Chanderpaul fifty drives lead to 427

Tue, Sep 16, '14

Barring the 92 minutes they took in the morning session to bowl Bangladesh out for 161, West Indies batted out the rest of the third day and fortified their hold of the second Test in St Lucia. Their lead sits at a daunting 427 runs after they reached 208 for 4 at stumps.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul batted sturdily to complete his 66th half-century. Jermaine Blackwood, at the other end, looked quite assured as well during a 108-run unbroken stand.
