Bangladesh score 259/5 on day one against Windies

Bangladesh scored 259 for 5 at stumps on the first day of the second Test against touring West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Friday.

Captain Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad were unbeaten on 55 and 31 respectively.

Debutant opener Shadman Islam scored a gritty half-century hitting 76 off 199 balls before he was trapped leg-before by Devendra Bishoo.

Tigers went into the game without any recognised fast bowler as they dropped Mustafizur Rahman and replaced him with additional batsman Liton Das.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur overcame concerns about his fitness to be included in the side.

West Indies replaced suspended Shannon Gabriel with right-arm pacer Sherman Lewis.

The home side lead the two-Test series 1-0 thanks to their 64-run win in the opening Test in Chittagong.
