Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn's outstanding performance at the Arnos Vale Ground helped West Indies bowl out Bangladesh for 182, as he claimed 5-39 to give his team a first innings lead of 302 after three days of the first test.

According to Stuff.co.nz, Bangladesh's effort was led by left-hander Mominul Haque, who topscored with 51, and captain Mushfiqur Rahim, who was left 48 not out. But only two other batsmen reached double figures as the West Indies achieved a commanding position.

Part-time off-spinner Jermaine Blackwood claimed 2-14 to lend good support to Benn.

The West Indies team is likely to enforce the follow-on for the fourth day.
