Kyle Mayers scored a sensational century in his debut match as the West Indies registered an unlikely victory in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong on Sunday.
Mayers made 210* while fellow debutant Nkrumah Bonner scored 86 as the West Indies overhauled the target with three wickets remaining at the very end of the Test.
The result meant West Indies achieved the fifth highest total of all time in the fourth innings of a Test match win. It was the highest successful run-chase in Asia.
