What's the story

Despite Shadman Islam's ton, West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 272 in the first innings of the ongoing 1st Test at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh resumed at 213/3 on Day 2, with Shadman completing his ton. But the Windies bowlers triggered a collapse, led by Jomel Warrican's fifer. In response, WI were 134/4 (48 overs) when bad light stopped play.

Knock

Shadman's third Test century

On Day 1, Shadman formed several valuable partnerships, taking Bangladesh past 200 before stumps. Bad light left him stranded on 99*.

Shadman brought up his ton on the second ball the following morning. However, Joshua Bishop dismissed him in the third over.

Shadman Islam departed for 105 off 234 balls (11 fours). This marked his third Test century.
