Basseterre, St Kitts – A blazing century from Shane Jeffers and a typically resolute unbeaten half-century by Shivnarine Chanderpaul for St Kitts & Nevis were the highlights on Day 2 of the three-day warm-up match yesterday.

Jeffers led an onslaught of the visitors bowling with 118 off just 131 balls with 22 boundaries as the home side closed the second day on 232-4 in reply to 377-7 declared. Chanderpaul, a guest player for this match, ended on 70 and will resume today looking for a century. With him is all-rounder Jeremiah Louis on one not out.
Chanderpaul and Jeffers came together in the middle session and added 51 for the third wicket. After Jeffers fell – caught at short backward square, Tonito Willet joined Chanderpaul and they added 65 for the fourth wicket on a good batting surface. Willet made 21 but fell to a sharp catch at short leg, just when he looked set to push on the score.
Earlier in the day Bangladesh declared at 377-7. The innings was boosted by a seventh-wicket stand of 191 between skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (106 not out) and all-rounder Nasir Hossain (100).
