West Indies centurion leads Test revival in Bangladesh

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 13:03 · Archive

Amir Jangoo's unbeaten century helped West Indies recover from 3-27 to reach 4-235 on day one of the second Test against Bangladesh.

Amir Jangoo's unbeaten 111 led the West Indies recovery from an early collapse to 4-235 on day one of the second Test against Bangladesh. The West Indies were reduced to 3-27 in the first nine overs after captain Roston Chase decided to bat first, with Bangladesh pacers Hasan Mahmud and Taskin Ahmed sharing four wickets. Taskin dismissed Brandon King for nine and trapped Joshua Da Silva leg-before for 12, while Hasan bowled Kavem Hodge for one.

Jangoo's 131-run partnership with debutant Kevin Wickham proved crucial in steadying the innings. Wickham, from Barbados, played with patience, raising his fifty off 123 balls before falling to Hasan Mahmud, who unsettled him with bouncers before delivering a perfect length ball. Jangoo brought up his second Test century from 149 balls with a six off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, batting with aggressive intent including 11 boundaries and two sixes.

Jangoo reached stumps unbeaten with Justin Greaves on 35, the pair combining for 77 runs in the last 19.5 overs as bad light ended play.
