Opener Shadman Islam slammed a patient 89 (194b, 9x4), and pacer L. Vignesh scalped three wickets to ensure honours were shared between Bangladesh XI and Tamil Nadu XI on the first day of the four-day match here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.
Electing to bat, Bangladesh XI ended the day on 230 for five with skipper Mohammad Mithun unbeaten on 74 (128b, 5x4s, 4x6s).
On a slow pitch, the TN pacers Vignesh and Gowtham Thamarai Kannan kept things tight in the first hour of the day with the former removing opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy, leg-before.
Islam was joined by Mohammad Saif Hasan and the duo added 85-runs for the second wicket stand with the visitors taking a cautious approach till lunch, scoring at just two runs per over.
The left-handed Islam, who has played 13 Tests, started his innings with a crisply timed cover drive off Gowtham and played some nicely timed shorts down the ground.
