Shadman Stranded on 99 as Bad Light Ends Dhaka Test Day 1

Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam was left stranded on 99 not out as bad light brought an early end to the first day of the Test against West Indies in Dhaka on Wednesday.

Shadman, who was unbeaten on 42 at lunch and 79 at tea, faced 224 balls and finished one run short of his third Test century, with Bangladesh on 213 for 3 in 74 overs and Litton Das unbeaten on 10.

Play had already been stopped for around 50 minutes in the final session before the umpires called it off after checking the light.

Earlier, Shadman shared a 59-run stand with Mominul Haque, who made 28, and an 88-run stand with Towhid Hridoy, who made 42 before retiring hurt.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto made 19, while Jomel Warrican took two wickets for West Indies.

Shadman resumes on Thursday one run away from a century.
