Mirpur Test: Bravo’s ton consolidated West Indies domination

By on Monday, 31st October 2011

Darren Bravo’s Test ton helped West Indies to consolidate their domination over Bangladesh in the definitive second Test in Mirpur on Monday.

Bravo, who has slammed two towering sixes and seven boundaries in his unconquered 165-ball knock so far, put on stalwart 151 with Kirk Edwards for third wicket after the cheap dismissal of openers as the tourists reached 207-3 in their second innings at stumps of day 3, extending the overall lead to 331 runs.

Edwards’ cracked seven fours and a six in his 204 ball-knock before plumbing lbw to debutant spinner Suhrawadi Shuvo in the stoppage time.
