Another day gone India's way. This was yet another brilliant display by the Indian team. They exploited the surface with the bat and scored 258/2 as Gill and Pujara smashed their hundreds. Gill smashed his first Test hundred, while Pujara, who registered his 19th Test ton, smashed his fastest International ton. In the bowling, the Men in Blue troubled Bangladesh but could not get a wicket. It's all set for the penultimate day of this Test. We will meet you tomorrow. Take care!
India have brought Ashwin early in the innings as Bangladesh openers are left-handers. Interesting move.
And India have declared their innings just after Cheteshwar Pujara smashed his fastest hundred in Test cricket. The Men in Blue have given a big target of 513 runs to Bangladesh, who have walked out to bat. Najmul and Zakir are on the crease for the hosts. Will they able to do an unthinkable?
Drinks time at Chattogram and Cheteshwar Pujara is having good time in this innings. He is playing unlike the Pujara way and is nearing to hit his fastest 100.
Back-to-back fifties for India's No.3 Pujara. He was vital in the first innings and has been good in the second too.
Shubman Gill walks back after hitting his maiden ton in Test cricket. He was going all behind the bowlers and managed to have an upper hand on most ocassions but not this time.
India have scored over hundred runs in this session and they sit comfortably at 140/1 at Tea. They looked more expressive than in the opening session. Gill brought up his fifty and is all set for a big one, while Pujara is also set and nearing his fifty. With a lead of 394 runs, will India declare in the third session? We will find that soon.
To add on Bangladesh's agony, DRS stopped working when Yasir Ali wanted an LBW appeal against Shubman Gill to be sent upstairs. The umpire decision was not out and it stayed as the third umpire could not take a look at the DRS.
India are looking to swell their lead. Gill and Pujara and going well.
Shubman Gill scores fifty after KL Rahul fell in the second session. Gill has looked comfortable and confident. Can he go for a big milestone? He will surely want.
KL Rahul falls in trap as Khaled Ahmed gets the Indian skipper. This was pitched short and Rahul went for the pull. The fielder on deep fine leg was placed rightly for this shot as it came from the middle of the bat and straight to Taijul.
The Indian openers are going well at the moment. They have made an expressive start to the second session. Meanwhile, Shakib has not bowled till now in this innings due to his rib injury.

It's Lunch on Day 3 of the match. India are in a comfortable position in the match. They have a big lead of 290 runs and all 10 wickets in hand. The Men in Blue did well to wrap Bangladesh's tail quickly and decided to against the follow-on to not take any risks. Openers have made a steady start but the upcoming sessions can see a change in gear. Will be back soon.
The Indian openers KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have made a steady start.
Axar Patel gets the final wicket and Bangladesh are folded for 150 in the first innings. KL Rahul runs to the dressing room. Looks India will not give the follow-on and come out to bat. India probably predicted that batting in the fourth innings won't be very easy and did not take a chance. 200 more from here will possibly push Bangladesh out from any hopes.
And Kuldeep Yadav has found the breakthrough. He has sent Ebadot back and BAN are 9 down.
Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj are looking to find a breakthrough. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Ebadot Hossain are not having easy time on the pitch but they are putting a fight.
