In the rain-hit first session, the West Indies added 36 runs with their overnight total of 340 for five and lost two more wickets.
The hosts had lost four wickets for 132 runs. But Mayers, Jermaine Blackwood and Joshua Da Silva stood firm to strike back and secure a first-innings lead for the hosts.
Earlier, Bangladesh scored 234 in the first innings with only a 50 from Liton Das. All of Bangladesh's first five batters managed to have good starts, but they failed to carry on.
At the end of day two, Bangladesh's head coach Russell Domingo had said the batters should learn from the West Indies.
The hosts won the first Test of the ongoing series, which is a part of the ICC World Test Championship.
