Kyle Mayers scored a stunning double hundred on his debut as West Indies shocked Bangladesh by three wickets in the first Test in Chittagong on Sunday. Mayers hit an unbeaten 210 from 310 balls—with 20 fours and seven sixes—to guide his side to 395-7 with just nine balls left on the final day. 

West Indies beat the best run chase in Asia, set by Sri Lanka who hit 388 to beat Zimbabwe by four wickets in Colombo in 2017. Mayers, the second West Indies player to get a double hundred on his debut after Lawrence Rowe and sixth overall, was brilliantly aided by fellow debutant Nkrumah Bonner, who hit 86. Resuming on 110-3, the pair put on 216 for the fourth wicket to frustrate Bangladesh’s bowlers until they were separated by spinner Taijul Islam.
