Bangladesh reached 96 for two at lunch on the opening day of the first Test against West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday.
Shadman Islam was unbeaten on 42 and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto on 15 after Bangladesh recovered from the early dismissal of Tanzid Hasan for seven.
Shadman and Mominul Haque added 59 for the second wicket before Mominul was dismissed for 28 off 51 balls by Jomel Warrican in the 22nd over, chipping a tossed-up delivery to Shamar Joseph at mid-off.
Shadman, who struck five boundaries, and Shanto then added an unbeaten 28 for the third wicket as Bangladesh reached 96-2 after 29 overs.
