Opener Liton Das was retired hurt on five while one-down Imrul Kayes failed to manage a single run, but Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim have taken the score past hundred without getting out in the second ODI against West Indies on Tuesday.

Liton had to leave the field as an Oshane Thomas delivery hurt his ankle.

The Tigers now have 101 for 1 after 19 overs, with tamim not out on 40 and Mushfiq on 45.

Visiting captain Rovman Powell won the second successive toss, but opted to field first today after choosing to bat in the first game.

The game is a landmark one for the Tigers, it marks the 100th game five senior players of the team -- skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah -- are playing together.

A win today will seal the three-game series for the hosts, who had also won both the Tests.
