Bad light frustrates Shadman Islam on 99 as Bangladesh reaches 213-3 in 1st
test vs West Indies
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) --- Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam was stranded on 99
as bad light brought an early end to Day 1 in the first cricket test against
West Indies on Wednesday.
Shadman struck 10 fours to guide his side to 213-3 at stumps. Liton Das,
returning from a hip injury, was also unbeaten, on 10.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto had won the toss and opted to bat
first, a decision that was justified by the patient Shadman.
New-ball bowlers Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph put Bangladesh under pressure
with probing lines and lengths.
Their persistency paid off when Tanzid Hasan edged a delivery from Seales to
second slip on 7.
Unlike Tanzid, Shadman resisted the temptation to repeatedly drive outside the
off stump and steadied the innings with Mominul Haque.
They kept West Indies at bay by sharing 59 runs for the second wicket.
Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican broke the partnership when Mominul sliced a
ball to mid-off on 28.
Warrican then dismissed Shanto on 19 after a successful lbw review, the skipper
missing a paddle sweep.
Shadman had raised his 10th half-century, and fourth against West Indies, by
taking a single.
Shadman found an able partner in Tawhid Hridoy, who was playing his first match
since making his debut against Zimbabwe in Harare four months ago.
The pair put on 88 before Hridoy was forced off the field after suffering cramp
in the humid conditions. He was unbeaten on 42.
Bad light first interrupted play for around 30 minutes when Shadman was on 96.
After the resumption, he appeared set for his third test century but was denied
by the early close.
