Kemar Roach once again proved to be West Indies` saviour as the veteran pacer came to their aid with his 10th 5 wicket haul in Tests to bowl out a resilient Bangladesh side for 245 runs.

Following a cathartic batting display, where they found themselves 6 wicket down for just 109 runs on day 3, Bangladesh`s revival was lead by skipper Shakib al Hasan and wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan. The pair forged a 123 run partnership to take Bangladesh to 232/6, staving off an inning defeat in the process.
