Greaves hits maiden Test century as West Indies dominate Bangladesh

Justin Greaves hit a maiden Test century as West Indies piled on the runs against Bangladesh to reach 415-8 at tea on the second day of the opening Test on Saturday.

The 30-year-old all-rounder, playing in just his third match at this level and first in the Caribbean, reached three figures off 181 balls with just four boundaries.

It was an exercise in patience by the Barbadian who shared a 140-run partnership with Kemar Roach for the eighth wicket.

At the interval, Greaves was undefeated on 109, having been 11 not out overnight.

Greaves was the third West Indian to make a half-century after Mikyle Louis (97) and Alick Athanaze (90) on the opening day.

Roach, playing in his 83rd Test, registered his highest score of 47 before he was clean-bowled by Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud.

Mahmud took all three wickets to fall on Saturday, dismissing Joshua Da Silva (14), Alzarri Joseph (four), as well as Roach.
