Bangladesh seized control on Day 1 of the Mirpur Test against the West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, ending the day at 213 for 3. Electing to bat first after winning the toss, the hosts built a solid foundation led by opening batter Shadman Islam, who remained stranded on 99 unbeaten*—just one run short of a century—when bad light forced an early end to the day’s play.
