The West Indies put themselves in a strong position to take control of the second Test against Bangladesh at Sabina Park, Jamaica, as they capitalized on Bangladesh's reckless batting on Day 2. After bowling out Bangladesh for just 165 runs, the West Indies reached 70-1 at stumps, trailing by 95 runs.

Kraigg Brathwaite, in his 86th consecutive Test, stood firm with an unbeaten 33 off 113 balls, surviving a challenging spell from Bangladesh's fast bowler Nahid Rana, who was clocking speeds of up to 150 kph. Rana dismissed Mikyle Louis early, but Brathwaite played a steady innings to ensure West Indies' recovery. Keacy Carty was at the crease with Brathwaite, having made 19 runs.

Earlier, Bangladesh's batting woes continued as they failed to rectify previous mistakes. Shadman Islam was the top scorer for Bangladesh with 64 runs, while stand-in captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed 36. West Indies' fast bowlers, particularly Jayden Seales, dominated. Seales took 4 wickets for just 5 runs off 15.5 overs, posting the best economy rate in history for bowlers who have bowled at least 90 deliveries in Test cricket (0.31).

Bangladesh began the day at 69-2 but lost four wickets for just 15 runs in seven overs. Seales removed key wickets, including Shadman Islam, who had struggled against the swinging ball, and Liton Das, who fell for just 1. Shamar Joseph also played a crucial role, claiming 3 wickets for 49 runs.

Despite a resistance from Miraz and Taijul Islam, who added 41 runs for the seventh wicket, Bangladesh could not avoid the collapse. Alzarri Joseph ended the partnership by dismissing Taijul, and Seales cleaned up the tail, preventing Bangladesh from surpassing the 200-run mark.

West Indies will now look to build a significant first-innings lead as they continue to press for victory after their impressive bowling performance. Bangladesh, who lost the first Test by 201 runs, will need a much improved performance to stay in the contest.
