1st Test: Justin Greaves' Maiden Ton Puts West Indies On Top Against Bangladesh
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium: Justin Greaves scored his maiden unbeaten Test hundred to help the West Indies reach a dominant position on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here. Greaves came good with the bat in his first Test match on Saturday to reach the three-figure mark in a patient knock after teammates Mikyle Louis (97) and Alick Athanaze (90) had both missed their centuries in superb batting display by the hosts.
With Greaves posting an unbeaten 115 off 206 balls and Kemar Roach scoring a dogged 47 off 144 balls lower down the order, the West Indies declared their innings at a commanding 450/9 in their first innings.
They then took the field to prise out both the Bangladesh openers Mahmudul Hasan Joy (5) and Zakar Hasan (15) as the visitors were reduced to 40/2 in the 20 overs they were asked to bat in the final session of Day 2. Mominul Haque was batting on seven with Shahadat Hossain keeping him company with 10 as Bangladesh trailed the West Indies by 410 runs with eight wickets in hand going into the third day on Sunday.
