Hodge century puts West Indies on verge of Bangladesh series sweep

Kavem Hodge scored an unbeaten 140 as West Indies reached 3-345, extending their lead to 315 runs in the second Test.

Kavem Hodge struck 140 not out to steer West Indies into a commanding position against Bangladesh. Complemented by Brandon King's 61 and Kevin Wickham's 78, West Indies reached 3-345 by stumps on day four.

Bangladesh bowlers rarely troubled the batters, who dominated the spinners. Wickham and Hodge swept precision strokes throughout, gradually establishing full control.

Hodge reached his third century off 142 balls. West Indies now lead by 315 runs heading into the final day of their second and final Test against Bangladesh.
