Dhaka, Nov. 7 -- Towhid Hridoy has moved within 10 runs of his maiden Test double-century to help Bangladesh trim their first-innings deficit against the West Indies on the third day of the second Test in Sylhet.

Hridoy was unbeaten on 190 off 289 balls, with 18 fours and seven sixes, as Bangladesh reached tea on Saturday at 318-8 after 96 overs, trailing West Indies' first-innings total of 356 by just 38 runs.

The 24-year-old, who resumed on 29 overnight, has transformed Bangladesh's innings after the hosts slipped to 184-7 during the morning session.

Taijul made 22 off 56 balls before being stumped...
