Lowest Test totals of the 21st Century

#1 Bangladesh 43 all-out vs West Indies, 2018

Kemar Roach was too hot for Bangladesh to handle

West Indies won the toss and put the visitors in first on a grassy track at North Sound. Bangladesh had always been poor travellers, but this was a new age Bangladesh side resplendent with belief. They were up against a team that was struggling, both on the outside and on the inside. This was supposed to be a good face off.

Sadly for Bangladesh, and not so for the West Indies, Kemar Roach decided to dismiss any such presumptions. From ball one, he went full and attacked the stumps of the Bangladeshi batsmen. In his second over, he cut through Liton Das' defences, almost finding the inside edge. In his next, he found the outside edge of Tamim Iqbal's bat. First blood. 10/1.

Next over, he pitched one up again, inviting a drive, and inciting an edge. 16/2. In his next, he made it three in as many overs, trapping the seasoned Mushfiqur Rahim in front for naught. 18/3. Two balls later, he had the world's number one all-rounder edge one to the slip cordon. Gone for naught as well. 18/4.

Next ball, he made it 3 for the over! Angling it into Mahmadullah and then getting it to straighten. Another edge, another naught. Roach had five, West Indies had five. 18/5.

Damage done, Holder replaced Roach, handing much-needed rest to him for he was already hobbling and holding up his knee. Cummins and Holder cleaned up after him, bowling Bangladesh out inside 19 overs. 43 all-out.

The lowest Test score, since India's 42 in England, back in 1974. Bangladesh- the country, was a two-year-old back then!
