Bijadul Islam Khan, the physiotherapist of the Bangladesh national team, stated regarding Shadman's condition: "Shadman has suffered a sprained left ankle and is currently under observation. We will send him for an MRI." His condition has raised concerns within the Bangladesh team, especially considering his excellent performance in the first Test where he scored a century.
Hasan Mahmud's Performance and Its Impact on the Match
While Shadman's condition remains uncertain, Hasan Mahmud delivered a remarkable performance, achieving his fifth five-wicket haul in Test cricket history, helping Bangladesh get back into the match. He is the first Bangladeshi player to take five wickets in five different countries and also the first player to achieve a stumping immediately on his home ground.
Hasan created a crucial breakthrough for his team by dismissing Jangoo, who had scored 133 runs off 212 balls. He also helped Bangladesh get closer to the lead by dismissing Roston Chase for a golden duck. Subsequently, after a close attempt for a hat-trick, Hasan removed Bishar with an excellent stumping by wicketkeeper Liton Das.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz also performed well in this match, managing to dismiss Graves, who had scored 51 runs off 112 balls. These good performances caused West Indies to drop from 264/5 to 301/8.
Results of the Second Day and Its Impact on the Continuation of the Match
At the end of the first day, West Indies finished with 235 runs for 4 wickets and on the second day managed to increase their total to 322/8. Shamarh Brooks and Jomel Warrican resisted well at the end of the second day, bringing the team above 320 runs. Joseph had 16 runs and Warrican had 9 runs at the crease.
Given Shadman's uncertain condition, the Bangladesh team hopes to receive positive news about his injury so they can take control of the match based on Hasan Mahmud's good performance.
