Bangladesh Dismissed for 272 Despite Shadman Century in First Test Against West Indies

Opening Test Match Progress in Mirpur

On the second day of the opening Test match in Mirpur, Bangladesh were bowled out for 272 runs, despite an opening century by Shadman Islam. In response, the West Indies reached 134-4 by stumps, trailing by 138 runs when bad light ended play early on Thursday.

Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican played a central role for the visiting side, claiming five wickets for 53 runs. This performance marked Warrican's fourth five-wicket haul in Test cricket, following two wickets taken on the first day.

Shadman Islam Reaches Milestone

Resuming his innings overnight at 99 not out, Shadman Islam reached his third Test century on the second morning by flicking a delivery from debutant left-arm spinner Joshua Bishop. However, Shadman was dismissed shortly after for 105 runs.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Shadman stated that the batting lineup should have capitalized further on their starts to build a larger total.

• Overnight score: Bangladesh resumed at 213-3.
• Collapse: Bangladesh lost their final seven wickets for 51 runs, resulting in an all-out total before lunch.
• Lower-order contribution: Litton Das remained unbeaten on 34 runs, while Towhid Hridoy returned to bat after retiring hurt with cramps on the first day but was bowled without adding to his overnight score of 42.

Supporting Warrican's bowling figures, Joshua Bishop and fast bowler Shamar Joseph each secured two wickets.

West Indies Response and Recovery

In their reply, the West Indies began aggressively through openers John Campbell and Brandon King. Hasan Mahmud provided the initial breakthrough for Bangladesh by dismissing King for 15 runs.

Campbell continued scoring, reaching a 61-ball half-century before rain caused a temporary suspension of play. Following a rain interruption of approximately one hour, Bangladesh bowlers capitalized on the updated conditions.

• Key Wickets: Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismissed Campbell for 54, and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed two wickets in the 36th over, removing Kavem Hodge and Amir Jangoo.
• Stumps Position: Tagenarine Chanderpaul (43 not out) and Justin Greaves (15 not out) stabilized the innings before fading light forced an early conclusion to the day's play.
