Bangladesh scored 213 for three wickets on the opening day of the first Test against West Indies in Mirpur on Wednesday, with opener Sadman Islam unbeaten on 99.

Poor light interrupted play twice, preventing Sadman from completing his century. Litton Das was unbeaten on 10 at stumps.

Bangladesh lost their first wicket at nine runs when Tanzid Hasan Tamim departed for seven off Jayden Seales. Sadman then built a 59-run partnership with Mominul Haque, who scored 28 off 51 balls before being dismissed by Shamar Joseph.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto fell for 16 off 42 balls after being trapped leg-before by Jomel Warrican. Bangladesh were reduced to 110 for three.

Sadman reached his 10th Test half-century off 95 balls, continuing a composed innings against the West Indies pace attack and spinners.

Towhid Hridoy, who replaced Mushfiqur Rahim in the playing XI, scored 42 before retiring hurt. Sadman and Litton then attempted to build another partnership, but poor light brought an early end to the day's play.

The two unbeaten batters will resume Bangladesh's innings on Thursday.
