Kemar Roach claimed 5-33 as Bangladesh slipped to 104-7 in reply to West Indies' first-innings 380 on day two of the second Test in St Lucia.

Roach removed the top three and returned later to add two further wickets as West Indies, who lead the two-match series after a 10-wicket win in St Vincent last week, took total control.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal hit 48 but was Roach's third victim to leave Bangladesh 62-3 and, with Mahmudullah's 13 not out the next best score on the card, the tourists wasted the earlier work of their bowlers.

West Indies had resumed at 246-3 but collapsed to 269-7 with Al-Amin Hossain (3-80) claiming two of the wickets.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul batted through to finish on 84 not out and received aggressive support from lower-order duo Jerome Taylor (40) and Sulieman Benn (25).
