Kavem Hodge's unbeaten 140 puts West Indies in command against Bangladesh

Sylhet witnessed an unbeaten century from Kavem Hodge, which propelled the West Indies to a commanding position of 315 runs ahead of Bangladesh on the fourth day of their second Test match. Hodge, who scored 17 fours and a six off 189 balls, was supported by opener Brandon King (61) and debutant Kevin Wickham (78). West Indies' total stood at 345-3 when play was halted due to bad light, with the West Indies still leading by 229 runs.

Hodge's innings came after he failed to convert his start in the first Test in Dhaka, and he expressed satisfaction in contributing to the team's cause. He added that the West Indies would assess the conditions tomorrow before deciding on a declaration. King and debutant Kevin Wickham formed a strong opening partnership of 85 runs before Taijul Islam took King's wicket lbw for 36, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz caught King for 61 off 84 balls.

Wickham's century came after the break, despite needing 68 deliveries to reach his half-century. The West Indies pair increased the lead to 229 runs when they resumed play. Hodge's half-century was completed after the break, with 11 fours and a six assisting him in reaching his century. Hodge also commended the team's efforts, emphasizing that they would assess the conditions and play moment by moment in the next day's play.
