After a rapid start filled with boundaries, Shakib and Litton have now switched to a more defensive approach. Ashwin and Akash are bowling with precision, maintaining tight lines that leave the batters with little room to maneuver.
BAN 68/5 (20.2)
Litton Das delivers another square drive, this time off Siraj. This is outstanding batting! In response, Siraj fires in a quick delivery that angles into Das's pads, looking to catch him off guard.
BAN 63/5 (16.5)
Another wicket for Bumrah, the Indian bowling attack is proving to be too much for the tigers. Bumrah continues targeting the good length, but Rahim adjusts to the angle this time, but this delivery surprises by swinging after it bounces. Though Rahim was expecting the angle, the late swing found the outside edge, and KL Rahul took a brilliant catch at second slip. It's just outstanding from India.
BAN 44/5 (13.1)
Shanto edges the ball and it’s caught at second slip. Facing Siraj, he tries to counter the movement, but the wobble-seam delivery nips away just enough to catch the outside edge. The ball flies quickly to Virat Kohli at second slip, who makes no mistake. Siraj is bowling in great areas, providing no respite and no loose balls.
Litton Das Comes In
BAN 38/4 (11.3)
Siraj kicks off the attack in the second session.
BAN 26/3 (9.4)
Similar to India, Bangladesh lost three wickets in their first 10 overs, but India had more runs at that stage. To make things worse for Bangladesh, the batting conditions now are much better than they were during the first hour of Day 1 yesterday. This session goes India's way.
Akash Deep strikes twice, clean bowling Zakir Hasan for just 3 runs off 22 balls, knocking the middle stump down. And there's another WICKET. Akash Deep clean bowls Mominul, sending him back to the pavilion.
BAN 22/3 (8.2)
A change from the other end as home favorite R Ashwin comes into the attack.
BAN 21/1 (7.5)
Siraj is back in action, probing the Bangladeshi batters. Caught on the stump mic, Rohit Sharma says, “Height nahi hai, nikal jayega left mai” (There’s no height, it’ll go past the left side), as Siraj appeared to have caught Zakir LBW. No DRS was taken. Siraj looks disappointed and still feels DRS would have worked in India's favour.
BAN 12/1 (5.1)
What a lovely drive. It's even more commendable considering what preceded it. The ball was full and just outside off, with little movement this time. Shanto strides forward beautifully and drives it past Rohit at cover.
BAN 8/1 (3.5)
Jasprit Bumrah opens India’s bowling, with Shadman Islam and Zakir at the crease. And OUT, Bumrah’s delivery nips back in and clips the bails, sending Shadman back for just 2 runs. A strong early breakthrough for India.
Zakir Hasan and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto at crease.
BAN 2/1 (1.2)
Jasprit Bumrah will open India's bowling. It’s going to be tough for Bangladesh to chase down runs against this formidable attack. Let's see if their batting can impress as much as Bumrah's bowling did.
BAN 2/0 (0.2)
Hasan Mahmud made history as the first Bangladeshi bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in India during the first Test at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. He finished with impressive figures of 5/83 as India was bowled out for 376.
Bangladesh took the last four Indian wickets in just over an hour. Seems like a job well done. This marks only the fourth instance of all ten Indian batters being caught out in a Test innings at home.
Ravichandran Ashwin departs after his first aggressive shot of the day fails to connect properly. He attempted to go over mid-off but lacked the power, falling for a well-crafted 113 runs off 133 balls. As he walks off, he receives a standing ovation from the crowd, marking Taskin’s third wicket of the day.
Mohammed Siraj Walks In
IND 374/9 (90.5)
Akash Deep is dismissed, going for a slog off Taskin and top-edging it straight to the fielder at mid-off. He departs for 17 runs off 30 balls.
Jasprit Bumrah steps in as the new batter and quickly gets off the mark with a four off his first ball, opening the face of the bat to guide a fuller delivery past the slip cordon.
IND 367/7 (88.5)
A yorker is dug out to mid-on, but the throw from there catches Akash Deep in the back. The physio rushes over to check on him as he’s seen rubbing his back repeatedly.
IND 367/7 (88.4)
Akash Deep plays a spectacular straight drive off Hasan for four and holds the pose.
IND 359/7 (86.1)
Akash Deep's batting and fielding stats include his performance in Tests and First-Class (FC) cricket. In Tests, he has played 1 match and batted in 1 innings, scoring 9 runs with a highest score of 9. His batting average stands at 9.00, with a strike rate of 31.03, and he has not scored any centuries or fifties, hitting 0 fours and 1 six.

His batting average in FC is 12.78, and his strike rate is 75.58. He has not registered any centuries but has 1 fifty, along with 32 fours and 38 sixes. In terms of fielding, he has taken 14 catches in FC cricket.
Akash Deep gets off the mark with a beautifully timed flick to square leg for four. Now he sets his sights on the cover region, striking another boundary! Hasan delivers a full ball, and Akash drives it, sending it just over the infield into the gap between cover and backward point.
IND 353/7 (84.1)
Taskin Ahmed makes his mark in the second over of the day. The ball shapes into the left-hander, and Ravindra Jadeja gets a faint edge straight to slip. The impressive 199-run partnership is broken. Jadeja played a fantastic innings but misses out on a century by 14 runs.
Now, Akash Deep is in to bat. He’s known for his ability to hit big, as we've seen in domestic cricket.
IND 348/7 (83.1)
Hasan Mahmud gives one to Ashwin and the star hits FOUR. Wide delivery, Ashwin takes a calculated gamble, slashes at it, gets a thick edge, and it flies over the slips for the first runs of the day.
IND 343/7 (83.1)
The team huddles up as the umpires take their positions. R Ashwin (102*) and Ravindra Jadeja (86*) are set to pick up from Day 1. With the new ball in hand, Taskin Ahmed start with the ball.
1) R Ashwin (IND) - 6 centuries, 3411; 516 wickets
2) Stuart Broad (ENG) - 1 century, 3662; 604 wickets
What happened yesterday? Here is a recap
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and opted to bowl first with both teams going into the game with three pacers each.
India stumbled early on losing Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli cheaply. Hasan Mahmud took all three wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his fine form to bring up a fifty and raise a good partnership with comeback man Rishabh Pant. However, Mahmud returned again to strike the fourth time to reduce India to 96-4. Soon, Jaiswal and KL Rahul to fell as India found themselves struggling at 144-6. Bangladesh were looking in control before tables turned with R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja putting India in command. By the end of the day, the duo had stitched an unbeaten 195-run partnership with Ashwin scoring his sixth Test hundred and Jadeja too looking set to for a three-figure outing. Bangladesh looked clueless in the final session yesterday. They will badly need wickets now.
