Team India have changed the game as they were successful in bagging two early wickets of the hosts, forcing them to play under pressure. With debutant Zakir and experienced batter Litton, Bangladesh will be putting up high hopes. Umesh Yadav bowled out Yasir Ali, giving team India their second quick wicket after Mohammed Siraj’s magical delivery forced Shanto to walk back with a golden duck.

Earlier, India posted 404/10 in first innings. India started the day with a score of 278/6 from the previous night, but lost Shreyas Iyer in the first session. India came very close to 400 runs thanks to a 92-run partnership between Kuldeep Yadav and R Ashwin for the eighth wicket. After Ashwin was dismissed for 58, Taijul Islam quickly bowled Kuldeep Yadav out for 40. India reached 278/6 at stumps after Cheteshwar Pujara and Iyer helped them recover from a difficult Day 1 situation. India was once down to 48/3, but Pujara remained steadfast at one end before being outclassed by Taijul Islam on 90. Iyer scored 82 to finish the day unbeaten.
#TeamIndia all out for 404 in the first innings.
