Bangladesh recover after Seales strike early – Bangladesh had a testing start against a disciplined West Indies attack, with Jayden Seales providing the breakthrough by dismissing Tanzid Hasan early. Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque steadied the innings with a patient 59-run partnership, gradually growing in confidence as the session progressed. However, Jomel Warrican struck soon after coming into the attack, removing Mominul to leave the hosts two down.
Shadman continued to bat positively, finding boundaries to keep the scoreboard moving, while Najmul Hossain Shanto joined him in rebuilding the innings as they took the hosts to 96/2 at Lunch.. 10.50 am GMT – STUMPS, DAY1! The umpires return to the middle for another light reading, but their body language suggests they are still not satisfied with the conditions. The groundstaff begin covering the pitch with hessian, hinting at an early end to the day’s play.
Nitin Menon and Sam Nogajski then have a brief chat with Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons, who shares a few smiles, before speaking to West Indies bowling coach Ravi Rampaul. The official confirmation soon follows, and it is stumps on Day 1. Bad light has cost us 16 overs, but Bangladesh have made good progress, setting the stage for a pivotal second day as both sides look to gain the upper hand..
