It was an exercise in patience by the Barbadian who shared a 140-run partnership with Kemar Roach for the eighth wicket.
At the interval, Greaves was undefeated on 109, having been 11 not out overnight.

Greaves was the third West Indian to make a half-century after Mikyle Louis (97) and Alick Athanaze (90) on the opening day.
Roach, playing in his 83rd test, registered his highest score of 47 before he was clean-bowled by Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud.
Mahmud took all three wickets to fall on Saturday, dismissing Joshua Da Silva (14), Alzarri Joseph (four), as well as Roach.
