Bangladesh 255 for 4 (Mushfiqur 68*, Tamim 52) v West Indies
Half-centuries from Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim helped Bangladesh to a solid 255 for four at base on day one of the opening Test with West Indies in Chittagong.
Tamim's 52 and a charming 68 from captain Mushfiqur twisted the backbone of a total that is slightly confuse, as Shahriar Nafees had to retire to the tent early on nursing a bloodied face after a Fidel Edwards bouncer rear up at him.
Nevertheless, the hosts will be pleased with their hard work after a disturbing start to the Test owing to Shahriar's injury.
Despite the loss of opener Imrul Kayes, the hosts were departing along at a fast pace until the 20th over when a brutal bouncer from Windies quick Edwards wedged Shahriar slumbering, the ball evading his attempt hook, going throughout his grill and striking him near the eye.
Nafees, who had hit four fours on his way to a lively 21 in 18 balls, went down instantly with blood coming from a facial wound and was required to retire hurt, with Raqibul Hasan coming in as his substitute.
Kayes' was the only wicket to fall in the morning meeting, the opener detached for 10 in the 12th over when Ravi Rampaul confident an edge with a straighten release and Carlton Baugh gloved a contented chance following the wickets.
Opener Tamim and Raqibul pressed Bangladesh forward with a second-wicket stand of 84, during which the former bring up his fifty from 144 balls, as well as five fours.
Tamim was not capable to push on from there, although, and was dismiss midway throughout the afternoon meeting at a time when he look to have got on top of the bowling.
He was haggard in by a safe, pitched-up Marlon Samuels release, attempts a slog-sweep and was wedged by Kraigg Braithwaite.
Tamim's removal from office was a blow for Bangladesh, who then lost Raqibul before tea.
Having made a tidy 41 from 92 balls, the right-hander was attentive on his plea by a swinging Darren Sammy delivery and was rapidly sent on his way by umpire Kumar Dharmasena.
That left Mushfiqur and Shakib Al Hasan at the fold, and the pair also enjoy a gainful partnership of 79 as the hosts sustained to get the better of West Indies' bowlers.
Mushfiqur, making his Test debut as captain, led by example with his enduring fifty coming from 120 balls.
Shakib contribute 40 runs to the stand, but then threw away his wicket eight overs before the close of play, nicking a short, flat ball from Samuels to Baugh.
Mushfiqur will be hoping to build on his talented score when play resume on Saturday, with Naeem Islam not out on eight.
