IND vs BAN 1st Test, Day 3 Highlights: Bad light forces early stumps; India on top as Bangladesh need 357 more to win

India vs Bangladesh Live Updates: It was a classic case of India dominating the proceedings and tightening their group over the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai on Day 2. As many as 17 wickets fell on the second day of the Test match with Bangladesh getting all out for 149. The day started on a sound note for Bangladesh as they didn't waste much time in taking four remaining Indian wickets for just 37 runs. However, a top-order collapse didn't help their cause as they were shot out for a paltry score despite a rescue act from Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan. Indian openers fell early yet again with the hosts losing three wickets before the stumps. However, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant did well to take India through to stumps and will be eyeing 100-150 more runs before the declaration comes into the picture.

    IND vs BAN 1st Test Live: WICKET!! India continue with their superb catching in Test match

    Local boy R Ashwin finally gets off the mark in the wickets column in the Test match as he sends back Shadman Islam, who batted really well until that point. Ashwin bowled on length and the ball seemed to have held into the surface, Shadman flicked but the bat turned in his hand and Gill completed a good catch at mid-wicket.

    IND vs BAN 1st Test Live: WICKET!! Finally the opening stand is broken

    Yashasvi Jaiswal holds on to a blinder in gully and India have gotten a wicket out of nowhere, who else but Bumrah? Bumrah induced a poke from Zakir Hasan into the drive on wider and fuller outside the off-stump line. Zakir got a thick outside edge and Jaiswal dived to his left to take a screamer. Bangladesh have lost their first wicket.

    IND vs BAN 1st Test Live: India aims wickets in final session

    Bangladesh did well to hold the fort in the post-lunch session after India's declaration to go unscathed through to the tea. Since there is nothing happening off the pitch, the Indian bowlers will have to dig deep in the final session to get into the Bangladeshi middle-order.

    Bangladesh bowlers get to bowl in overcast conditions once again

    Like the opening day, Bangladesh bowlers will be bowling again amid overcast and cloudy conditions and would fancy their chances getting a few wickets in the first session, however, the ball isn't as new now and Indian batters will be coming out swinging, especially Rishabh Pant.

    Shubman Gill does well, need to build-on

    Shubman Gill looked a bit more assured and calculative in his approach in the second innings playing in the line of the ball while being able to maintain his shape as he scored 33 crucial runs after being gone for a blob on the opening day. Rishabh Pant came hard swinging and it seems that will be his approach as India eye adding 100-150 quick runs on Day 3 before the declaration comes into the picture.

    Indian top-order falters yet again

    Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fell cheaply yet again as Bangladesh pacers made the new ball count in the second innings as well. Kohli was probably unlucky as he didn't feel that he edged but ultra-edge showed a little spike as he walked off. However, the senior statesmen will be eager to score runs in the second Test with a long Test season ahead.

  • 9:23 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Jasprit Bumrah just keeps delivering

    Jasprit Bumrah these days almost feels like a well-oiled machine doing its job, taking wickets without a fuss, almost like wickets were made to be taken by him. Bumrah with another four-fer with support from Akash Deep helped India bundle out Bangladesh for just 149 runs. There was a little 51-run stand for Bangladesh with Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan keeping Indian bowlers at bay but it lasted only that long with Ravindra Jadeja accounting for both of them.
