Shadman guides Bangladesh to 213-3 in West Indies Test
Opener Shadman Islam hit an unbeaten 99 to steer Bangladesh to 213-3 on the opening day of the first Test against West Indies on Wednesday.
The left-hander was on the verge of his third Test century when bad light ended play after 74 overs at the start of the two-match series in Mirpur.
Shadman hit 10 fours in his 219-ball stay, with Litton Das on 10 not out.
Towhid Hridoy retired hurt on 42 due to cramps after he and Shadman added 88 runs for the fourth wicket to steady the Bangladesh innings.
West Indies struck early when in-form opener Tanzid Hasan edged Jayden Seales to second slip for nine.
Mominul Haque added 28 before falling to Jomel Warrican's left-arm spin.
Shadman guided Bangladesh to lunch at 96-2, before Warrican struck again shortly after the break to trap Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw for 19.
Shadman brought up his half-century off 95 balls and he found an able partner in Hridoy, who came into the side in place of the injured Mushfiqur Rahim.
They batted through the afternoon session to take Bangladesh to 177-3 at the tea break.
Hridoy then suffered cramps as he approached his maiden Test fifty and was helped off the field.
Bad light then interrupted play for an hour, the umpires then calling off play for the day after a short resumption.
Warrican was the pick of West Indies' bowlers with 2-33.
