Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd Test: Jangoo 111 Not Out In Sylhet

Amir Jangoo was 111 not out at stumps on the opening day of the Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd Test in Sylhet, carrying the tourists to 235 for 4 from an innings that stood at 27 for 3 inside nine overs. Bad light ended play with 20 of the day's 90 overs unbowled. West Indies lead the two-match series 1-0.

Roston Chase won the toss and batted. For half an hour it looked a poor call.

Three down inside nine overs

Taskin Ahmed bowled Brandon King for 9 in the fifth over. Hasan Mahmud removed Kavem Hodge for 1 in the next. Taskin then trapped Joshua Da Silva lbw for 12, and West Indies were 27 for 3 after 8.4 overs. The new ball was doing enough off the surface to suggest a short first innings.

• 13 for 1, 4.1 overs: Brandon King b Taskin Ahmed 9
• 14 for 2, 5.5 overs: Kavem Hodge b Hasan Mahmud 1
• 27 for 3, 8.4 overs: Joshua Da Silva lbw b Taskin Ahmed 12
• 158 for 4, 50.1 overs: Kevin Wickham b Hasan Mahmud 61

Jangoo and Wickham add 131

Jangoo and Kevin Wickham then batted through to tea and beyond, adding 131 for the fourth wicket across more than 41 overs. Wickham, playing his first Test, made 61 from 145 balls before Hasan Mahmud bowled him shortly before the interval. Jangoo reached his hundred from 171 balls with 11 fours and two sixes.

It is his second Test century. The first was 233 against Sri Lanka. He had been dismissed for a duck in the first Test in Mirpur, which West Indies won by eight wickets.

Bangladesh's spinners find nothing

All four wickets went to the seamers. Taskin finished the day with 2 for 61 from 14 overs and Hasan Mahmud 2 for 58 from 14. Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled 18 overs for 42 runs without a wicket. Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan were also wicketless, and the three spinners sent down 42 of the 70 overs between them, according to the day's scorecard.

Sylhet has given Bangladesh's spinners plenty in recent seasons. On Thursday the ball turned slowly and the tourists were content to wait.

Light closes the day at 235

Umpires first took the players off at 216 for 4 after 65 overs. Play resumed, 19 more runs came in five overs, and the light was checked again. Stumps were called at 4.28pm local time with conditions not expected to improve.

Justin Greaves is 35 not out and has added 77 with Jangoo. Bangladesh must square the series here to avoid a home defeat, and the second new ball is 20 overs away on Friday morning.
