Travis Dowlin fell five runs short of a maiden Test century for the West Indies but Bangladesh's spinners dominated day one of the second Test in Grenada.

Despite Dowlin's innings and 69 from Dale Richards, the Windies were bowled out for 237 after losing the toss.

Off-spinner Mahmudullah (3-44) and left-armers Shakib Al Hasan (3-59) and Enamul Haque Jr (3-62) did the damage for Bangladesh.

The Tigers, who won the first Test in St Vincent, reached 35-1 in reply.

A draw will be good enough for the tourists only their second series win in nine years as a Test-playing nation.
