So, that is that. It took West Indies only 40 minutes to wrap it up and take 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The next Test is in Kingston, starting on November 30. We will be back again to bring you all the action. See you then!

Kraigg Brathwaite: A lot of learning has taken place from the England tour. Test cricket is all about learning and that's what I tell our guys. We have seen a hundred here and that was a positive. Good to get a Test win and we continue working hard. [On five-man pace attack] It all depends on the surface. But these guys have different skill set. [On improvement] Stay hungry is one. Some guys got big fifties - it was good to see - but this Test is over. We need to keep at it. [Fans' support] it means a lot. And I have seen the guys supporting us not just here but also in the first-class cricket.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Think we bowled really well. Taskin got six wickets but they had a got partnership after they were down seven wickets. Then the match was lost there. We didn't bat well in this match. I think we made a few mistakes but that can happen. We hope to come back strongly in the next match. We know what mistakes we made and we need to come back stronger. We will have a chat among ourselves. We have a got pace attack - Taskin, Hasan and Nahid Rana bowled well. We have Taijul too who bowled really well in the first innings. I am really happy with their performance.

Justin Greaves is the Player of the Match: Contributing to the team win, in the first match of the series, is a very good feeling. Joshua and I had a plan, it didn't go as per that but thankful to Kemar for sticking around. Just to be myself, that's what Kraigg always tells me. When it comes to bowling, help the quartet and two wickets were a bonus. There will be bumps on the road but I need to keep believing in myself.

Time for the presentation ceremony.

Who is the leader of this aggressive pack? "Guilty," says Jayden Seales. "For me, Test cricket is about hard work and obviously trying to have some fun on the field. Having a bit of a banter among ourselves is a good idea."

Shamar Joseph: Coming in and being embraced by them and being so welcomed... they teach us youngsters a lot.

Justin Greaves: In the first innings, I had a bit of a holding role. Got two wickets in the end, which was a bonus. It's a fantastic quartet of fast bowlers we have. In the second innings, just come in and hold your line and the guys did their things.

Jayden Seales: We have the pace of Alzarri and Shemar and the skills of Kemar, myself and Justin.

Alzarri Jospeh: It's a good challenge in the nets among all of us.

Kemar Roach: Fantastic effort. I am really proud of the group we have. This bunch keeps me young.

The host broadcaster is interviewing West Indies' five fast bowlers.

10.40am Bangladesh's medical guy is in and is checking in on Shoriful. He was hit on the back of his shoulder in the previous over. After a bit of neck rotation, it looks like he cannot carry on. Shoriful is walking back. Think it's retired hurt. And that means West Indies have won by 201 runs.

Shoriful Islam in at No. 11. Alzarri continues around the wicket

36.4
W
Alzarri Joseph to Jaker Ali, OUT

a length ball in the line of the stumps. Jaker was moving across to flick it on the leg side but missed. An appeal for lbw - Alzarri didn't even look back and started celebrating. The umpire didn't take long either to raise his finger. Jaker Ali has reviewed it but as soon as the replay showed the ball hit him in front of middle stump, he started walking. The ball-tracking shows it pitched just outside off and would have gone on to hit middle stick

Over the wicket for Jaker Ali

Seales to Jaker Ali, no run

full ball on the stumps. Jaker was anticipating something wide outside off and had moved across. In the end he had to, sort of, defend it towards square leg

35.5

Seales to Jaker Ali, FOUR runs

a short ball outside off. Jaker moves across and helps it behind square leg. Perhaps too good a connection for his liking as it beats the fine-leg fielder for four

35.4
Seales to Jaker Ali, no run

full around off. Jaker was looking for a single and pushed it on the off side but the cover fielder is a few steps in and made the stop

35.3

full but way down the leg side. Jaker couldn't have reached there even if he wanted to

full outside off. Steered towards deep point. Refuses the single

35.1

Seales to Taskin, 1 run
