Mustafizur Rahman claimed two early wickets after Mehidy Hasan struck his maiden Test hundred to put Bangladesh on top in the first Test against the West Indies in Chittagong on Thursday. Mehidy hit 103 off 168 balls to guide the hosts to 430 in their first innings before Mustafizur`s 2-18 helped them reduce the tourists to 75-2 at stumps on the second day.
Captain Kraigg Brathwaite and Nkrumah Bonner put 51 runs in an unbroken third-wicket stand to stave off further damage after Mustafizur rattled the visitors by dismissing John Campbell and Shayne Moseley early. Both the batsmen were judged leg-before, making three and two runs respectively. Brathwaite closed in on a 50 to remain unbeaten on 49 alongside debutant Bonner, 17 not out, at the close. Mehidy was earlier the last man dismissed in Bangladesh`s innings when he holed out a catch to substitute Kavem Hodge at long on, off off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall. Shakib Al Hasan also struck 68 as Bangladesh dominated the West Indies` bowlers to add 188 runs in two sessions after resuming the day`s play at 242-5.
