West Indies recover from early collapse in Sylhet Test

Amir Jangoo scored an unbeaten 111 to lead the West Indies to 235 for 4 on the opening day of the second Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet. The visitors faced an early crisis, falling to 27 for 3 after Bangladesh pacers Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud dismantled the top order.

Debutant Kevin Wickham played a vital role in the recovery, scoring 61 runs and sharing a 131-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Jangoo. The West Indies innings was further supported by Justin Greaves, who remained 35 not out at stumps.

Play was curtailed due to bad light, with the West Indies completing only 70 overs. Earlier, Bangladesh's Taskin Ahmed dismissed Brandon King and Joshua Da Silva, while Hasan Mahmud removed Kavem Hodge. West Indies captain Roston Chase had won the toss and elected to bat first.
