Shadman’s unbeaten 99 puts Bangladesh in control against West Indies

Bangladesh recovered from an early setback to reach 213 for three at stumps on the opening day of the first Test against the West Indies in Mirpur. The West Indies bowlers made an early breakthrough when Jayden Seales dismissed opener Tanzid Hasan for seven. However, Bangladesh fought back, led by opener Shadman Islam, who remained unbeaten on 99, and Towhid Hridoy, who scored 42. The pair added 88 runs for the fourth wicket before Hridoy retired hurt.
