Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy scores a double century, reaching 242 not out in the second Test against West Indies in Sylhet. Multiple outlets describe the knock as a record-breaking Bangladesh Test performance, with Wisden and The Hindu noting he surpasses the previous national mark held by Mushfiqur Rahim.
AP, via Yahoo Sports, adds context on match impact: Hridoy converts his maiden century into a double century and helps Bangladesh reach 386 in the first innings, taking a 30-run lead after what it describes as a near-hopeless situation. The Hindu also frames the milestone within Bangladesh’s batting history, saying he becomes the fourth Bangladeshi to score a double century and passes Mushfiqur’s prior high score.
Across reports, the main variation is how the score is presented: some headlines emphasize 220 not out, while others focus on the unbeaten 242. Despite that difference in framing, all sources agree Hridoy breaks a Bangladesh Test record and posts a double century against West Indies in the second Test.
