Bangladesh resumed the third day under pressure after finishing Day 2 at 88/3, still trailing by 268 runs. Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales had troubled the top order with the new ball. The hosts faced another challenge with opener Shadman Islam unavailable after suffering an injury while fielding.
The 24-year-old removed his helmet and roared in celebration as the Bangladesh dressing room applauded his achievement.
He also became the 46th player in Test cricket to convert his maiden Test hundred into a double century. His score is the highest by a Bangladesh batter against the West Indies and at the Sylhet venue, surpassing Mahmudul Hasan's previous record of 171.
Towhid Hridoy and Taijul Islam Stitch 117-Run Stand to Rescue Bangladesh
Bangladesh were struggling at 184/7, effectively eight wickets down because of Shadman's absence, before Taijul Islam joined Towhid Hridoy at the crease. The pair added 117 runs for the eighth wicket, Bangladesh's second-highest partnership for that wicket in Tests.
Taijul held one end for nearly two hours and 20 minutes, scoring 22 off 56 deliveries. Warrican eventually ended the partnership by stumping him after he failed to get his foot back behind the crease. Bangladesh were 301/8 at that stage.
A boundary off Seales took Hridoy to 99 before he completed his maiden Test hundred with a single off Chase just before lunch. He scored 71 runs off 91 balls in the morning session. Hridoy later reached 150 with a four off Shamar Joseph.

Litton also started positively, hitting boundaries off Bishop and Warrican. However, he departed for eight after chipping a delivery from Warrican straight to King at cover. Mehidy Hasan Miraz then added 41 runs with Hridoy before falling for 16.
The hosts had also lost Naeem Hasan for five, while Tanzid Hasan Tamim and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 16 and 18, respectively, on the second day. Naeem had opened in place of the injured Shadman, while Kevin Wickham took a good catch to dismiss Tanzid.
