After being asked to follow-on by West Indies, Bangladesh has reached 256 for the loss of five wickets on the fourth day of the Test at St. Vincent.

However, the team will require 46 more runs to force West Indies to bat again, reported Stuff.co.nz.

The Test could have been over on the fourth day itself after Bangladesh scored 107 runs after losing four wickets but Captain Mushfiqur Rahim's unbeaten 70 and Mahmudullah's 66 kept the match going.

Shamsur Rahman was caught behind for four off Kemar Roach's delivery before Imrul Kayes was caught by the cover off Chris Gayle's off-spin for his individual score of 25.

Suleiman Benn, who took five wickets in the first innings, removed Mominul Haque for 12.

Tamim Iqbal scored 53 off 107 balls before he was bowled by a sharply turning delivery from Benn.

Mahmudullah was eventually caught behind the wicket by Denesh Ramdin while attempting to drive a delivery from Roach.
