1st Test: Justin Greaves' maiden ton puts West Indies on top against Bangladesh


North Sound (Antigua), Nov 24 (IANS): 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.

From 20/1 it became 21/2 six balls later as Zakir Hasan was cleaned up by Jayden Seales for 15 off 24, leaving Bangladesh a mountain to climb to make the West Indies bat again in this match.

Brief scores:

West Indies 450/9 in 144.1 overs (Justin Greaves 115 not out, Mikyle Louis 97, Alick Athanaze 90, Kemar Roach 47; Hasan Mahmud 3-87, Taskin Ahmed 2-76, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 2-99) lead Bangladesh 40/2 in 20 overs (Shahadat Hossain batting 10, Mominul Haque batting 7; Alzarri Joseph 1-7, Jayden Seales 1-15) by 410 runs.
