THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KHULNA, Bangladesh — Nasir Hossain smashed an aggressive half century to lead a Bangladesh fight back after an early collapse against the West Indies as the hosts stumbled to 186-6 at tea on the first day of the second cricket test.

Hossain had shared an 87-run sixth wicket partnership with captain Mushfiqur Rahim (32 not out) before being dismissed by Veerasammy Permaul shortly before the interval.

Fidel Edwards returned figures of 3-42, to lead the West Indies attack, while fellow paceman Darren Sammy had 2-40.

After going to lunch at 88-3, Bangladesh lost two quick wickets after the break to find itself in trouble on 93-4.
