Rain and wet outfield washed out the first as well as most part of the second session of Day IV of the second and final Test between the West Indies and Bangladesh at the Darren Sammy Stadium. The Windies, needed just another four wickets to wrap up the Test as well as the series with Bangladesh needing 42 more to avoid an innings defeat. But their wait got longer due to inclement weather.

Back on Day III, senior pacer Kemar Roach reached the landmark of 250 Test wickets as the hosts had reduced Bangladesh to 132 for 6 in their second innings at stumps on Sunday. Roach took the first three wickets to finish the day on 3/32 in 10 overs and move to 252 wickets in his 73rd Test for the Windies.

Brief scores:

Bangladesh 234 & 132/6 (K. Roach 3/32). West Indies 408. Post lunch, Day IV
