But Mahmudullah’s two wickets in his only over — the penultimate of the session — gave Bangladesh the momentum after it had won the toss and sent West Indies in to bat at National Cricket Stadium.
Mahmudullah, who took 5-51 in the second innings of the first Test that Bangladesh won, had figures of 2-9.
Richards and Omar Phillips gave West Indies a bright start with a stand of 60 inside the first hour.
After surviving a chance to mid-on, Phillips was out in the same over to left-arm spinner Shakib-al-Hasan, holing out to Tamim Iqbal’s brilliant, low running catch at deep midwicket.
Shakib, captaining Bangladesh due to the injury to Mashrafe Mortaza, had figures of 1-29.
