Mehidy Hasan's century puts Bangladesh on top of Windies on 2nd day

Mehidy Hasan's maiden hundred lifted Bangladesh to 430 and on top of the West Indies after two days of the first cricket Test on Thursday. The West Indies was 75-2 in reply, captain Kraigg Brathwaite on 49 at stumps and newcomer Nkrumah Bonner on 17 in an unbroken 51-run partnership. Batting at No. 8, the allrounder Mehidy scored 103 off 168 balls, and included 13 boundaries. Mehidy formed three important partnerships to help Bangladesh establish full control on a slow pitch. He shared a 67-run stand with Shakib Al Hasan for the seventh wicket, 45 runs with Taijul Islam (18) for the eighth wicket, and 67 with Nayeem Hasan (24) for the ninth wicket. "I was bit nervous initially," Mehidy said. "But Shakib Al Hasan encouraged me. He told me to back my ability and play my natural game." His partnership with Shakib was the most important after Bangladesh resumed the day on 242-5. Bangladesh lost Liton Das early in the morning after he added just four runs to his overnight 34. At 248
