West Indies bat in must-win game

Toss West Indies chose to bat v Bangladesh
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

West Indies started their bid to avoid what would be a first series loss to Bangladesh by winning the toss and electing to bat first on a square that the Bangladesh spinners found home-like in the first match.

West Indies made two changes to the side that lost on Sunday, dropping Nikita Miller and Nelon Pascal, who went for 79 runs in their 13 wicketless overs. Andre Fletcher gets to concentrate solely on batting as the specialist wicketkeeper Devon Thomas comes in. Also getting a debut was medium-pacer Gavin Tonge.

Bangladesh, as expected, fielded an unchanged XI.

West Indies: 1 Dale Richards, 2 Andre Fletcher, 3 Devon Smith, 4 Travis Dowlin, 5 David Bernard, 6 Floyd Reifer (capt.), 7 Devon Thomas (wk), 8 Darren Sammy, 9 Rawl Lewis, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Gavin Tonge.

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Junaid Siddique, 3 Mohammad Ashraful, 4 Raqibul Hasan, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt.), 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Naeem Islam, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Syed Rasel, 11 Rubel Hossain.
