CRICKET: Bangladesh number 10 Abul Hasan scored a unbeaten century on his Test debut yesterday to complete an astonishing comeback by the home team on the opening day of the second Test against West Indies.

After fast bowler Fidel Edwards had taken five wickets to help reduce Bangladesh to 193 for eight, Abul and Mahmudullah (72 not out) added 172 runs in an unbroken ninth-wicket partnership.

Abul (20) became only the second debutant in Test history to record a century on debut batting at number 10 after Australian Reggie Duff, who scored 104 against England at Melbourne in 1902.
