Opener Shadman Islam struck a patient half-century and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican claimed three wickets for 58 as Bangladesh and the West Indies shared the honors on the opening day of the first Test in Chittagong on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The hosts ended the day on 242-5, with Shadman leading the way with 59 off 154 balls - and several others chipping in with useful knocks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mushfiqur Rahim (38), Mominul Haque (26), and Najmul Hossain (25) all got modest starts after Bangladesh opted to bat first, but they could not march on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das were unbeaten on 39 and 34 respectively at the close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The visiting bowlers managed to strike whenever a partnership started to flourish, keeping Bangladesh in check.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kemar Roach made the first breakthrough when he bowled opener, Tamim Iqbal, with an in-swinger that hit the top of the left-hander's middle stump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Although Tamim fell for just nine runs, his tally in Test cricket went to 4,414 runs, giving him the record of Bangladesh's leading run-scorer - for while at least.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shadman and Najmul then steadied the innings with a 43-run stand before the latter was run out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Warrican claimed the first of his three wickets beautifully, setting a trap for Bangladesh skipper Mominul, who obliged by lofting a catch to John Campbell at midwicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It ended Mominul's promising 53-run third-wicket stand with Shadman, who followed his captain off the field shortly after, having been trapped leg before by Warrican.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shadman - who hit six fours - could have survived if he had reviewed the decision of the on-field umpire, as a replay showed the ball was going down leg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shadman regretted his decision not to seek a review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I thought that the ball pitched in line and would hit the stump. Therefore I did not go for the review,<\/strong>" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "I was a bit frustrated after seeing the replay in the dressing room, but it is part of the game.<\/strong>"<\/p>\r\n\r\n Mushfiqur then reclaimed his record as the country's leading run-getter and rebuilt Bangladesh's innings with a 59-run stand with Shakib.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Their partnership came to an end when Mushfiqur poked a delivery from Warrican to Rahkeem Cornwall at slip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "It was a very good day for me in the office. I got three vital wickets. Hopefully, I can benefit the team with more wickets tomorrow,<\/strong>" Warrican said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "The Bangladesh batsmen play spin very well, so we had to be very disciplined and set the right fields. We stuck to the basics and just made sure I bowled in good areas and challenged the batsmen<\/strong>."<\/p>\r\n\r\n The West Indies handed Test debuts to Nkrumah Bonner, Kyle Mayers, and Shayne Moseley.<\/p>\r\n",
