Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam batted through the day to frustrate West Indies, as only 74 overs were possible on day one of the two-Test series in Mirpur.
He will resume on day two on 99, having led the home side to 213 for three during a gritty opening day that was interrupted twice by bad light. His innings has so far come from 219 balls and included 10 fours.
Fifty minutes were initially lost during the final session before play resumed briefly, only to be called off at 4.22 p.m. local time.
