Bangladesh-Windies match drawn
Bangladesh's Elias Sunny made a memorable seven-wicket debut against the West Indies in the rain-hit opening Test, which ended in a draw on the fifth and final day on Tuesday.
The left-arm spinner grabbed six for 94 in the first innings and one for 34 in the second as the West Indies finished at 100 for two after being set a 226-run target to win the match off 37 overs.
Opener Lendl Simmons made a 49-ball 44, while Kirk Edwards (28 not out) and Darren Bravo (24 not out) were the unbeaten batsmen when play was called off with 15 overs remaining. No play was possible due to rain on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunny also became the third Bangladesh player to bag six wickets in an innings on debut in the morning session as the West Indies was bowled out for 244 in its first innings in reply to Bangladesh's 350 for nine declared. Bangladesh declared its second innings closed at its tea total of 119 for three, with left-handed Shahriar Nafees (50) scoring his sixth Test half-century with the help of eight fours.
Openers Imrul Kayes (13) and Tamim Iqbal (37) were the other batsmen dismissed in the second session. Seamers Darren Sammy and Ravi Rampaul, and spinner Marlon Samuels took one wicket each.
The West Indies earlier added 100 runs in 17 overs to its overnight total of 144 for five, with skipper Sammy smashing a brisk 43-ball 58 with the help of two 6s and eight 4s for his maiden Test half-century.
Sunny, 25, took two of the five wickets to fall in the morning session while left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan took the last three wickets to finish with three for 53 off 18 overs. Sunny struck in his second over when he had Samuels caught by Raqibul Hasan in the covers. Samuels could add just seven runs to his overnight score of 17.
Sammy and Carlton Baugh (30) then counter-attacked to add 60 runs in just seven overs for the seventh wicket before Sunny broke the stand when he bowled Baugh for his sixth victim.
The West Indies captain completed his half-century with a six off Sunny, but did not last long as he was bowled by Shakib after hitting the second six of his innings.
Shakib also dismissed Devendra Bishoo for no score in the same over.

What should I apologise for? Gayle asks Board
At loggerheads with the WICB, West Indian opener Chris Gayle on Thursday asked the board to "state clearly" what it wants him to apologise for.
The WICB had said the batsman would be considered for selection in the national team only if he retracted his statements about the board and its officials.
"They need to come clear and say what Chris Gayle should apologise for, and what should Chris Gayle retract, what are the terms, really and truly," Gayle said.
"So they need to make it clear, rather than stating just one particular thing and leaving the public to speculate again, and just make this one big issue which I'm tired of, so they need to just cut it out now."
Gayle believed the WICB was "playing mind games" and that he would address their demands at the end of the Regional Super50 in Guyana, where he is leading Jamaica's campaign.

Edwards duo puts West Indies on top against Bangladesh
Fidel Edwards grabbed five quick wickets and Kirk Edwards cracked an impressive 121 to help the West Indies gain the upper hand in the series-deciding second cricket Test against Bangladesh on Sunday.
Fast bowler Fidel finished with five for 58 for his 11th haul of five or more wickets in a Test innings as the West Indies reduced Bangladesh to 204 for seven in its first innings at stumps after posting 355 on the second day. Shakib Al Hasan, who also bagged five wickets with his left-arm spin, defied the West Indies' attack with a 74-ball 73 with the help of nine fours before being bowled by leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo.
Bangladesh was reeling at 59 for five following Fidel's five-wicket burst off 29 balls on a slow pitch before being steadied by Shakib, who put on 84 for the sixth-wicket with Naeem Islam (45).
The host now trails by 151 runs with just three wickets in hand. Nasir Hossain was unbeaten on 34 and debutant Suhrawadi Shuvo on two not out.
Kirk Edwards, 71 overnight, completed his second century in three Tests in the opening session as the tourist added 102 runs to its overnight total of 253 for five before being bowled out in the second.
Bangladesh went for shots early in its innings as it raced to 60 off just 10 overs, but lost five wickets in the process to find itself in deep trouble.
