West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach finished with outstanding figures of 5-8 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 43 before lunch of the Antigua Test on Wednesday.
The total is the sixth lowest in the history of Test cricket. The lowest score is 26 made by New Zealand against England in the 1955 Auckland Test. South Africa have been bowled out twice for 30, once for 35 and again for 36. New Zealand, Australia and India have all be dismissed for 42 in Tests with Bangladesh’s total of 43 the sixth lowest total in Tests and 10th in the overall table.
Bangladesh were skittled for 43 before lunch on the opening day at North Sound. The score is the lowest innings in 44 years in Tests.
Lowest Test totals since 2000...

Roach wreaked havoc with his opening burst, removing key men Mushfiqur Rahim, Tigers captain Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah in the space of four devastating deliveries.
Only opener Liton Das provided any sort of ballast and his 25 meant he was the only one to reach double figures as Bangladesh were put out of their misery in 18.4 overs.
Miguel Cummins chipped in with three wickets before Windies captain Jason Holder took the final two scalps as the tourists were left in complete disarray.
