Bangladesh elect to field after winning the toss in the second Test against the West Indies. Wait, that’s inaccurate. The original says West Indies won the toss and chose to bat in the second Test against Bangladesh. Corrected rewrite: West Indies Choose to Bat After Winning Toss in Second Bangladesh Test

West Indies captain Roston Chase won the toss and chose to bat against Bangladesh on Thursday, as the visitors look to seal the series in the second Test in Sylhet.

The tourists, who lead the two-match series 1-0, made two changes from their opening win. John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were ruled out with a virus. Joshua Da Silva and debutant batsman Kevin Wickham come in for them. The 23-year-old Wickham scored an unbeaten 67 in a practice match against a BCB XI.

Bangladesh also made two changes from the eight-wicket defeat in Mirpur. Shoriful Islam and Mominul Haque were replaced by Taskin Ahmed and Musfiqur Rahim.
