Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant have been watchful, but have also scored runs at a decent rate. The 25-year-old stuck a few sixes to get to his fifty, while Pant hit three boundaries to take India's lead to over 350
And that's Lunch on Day 3 in Chennai. India were a bit watchful at the start but pounced on any opportunity that was handed to them, and eventually took the attack to the opposition, scoring 124 runs in 28 overs at 4.43 runs per over. Both Indian batters reached their respective fifties and will be eyeing their tons. The visitors, on the other hand, have slowly started to drop their shoulder. Back in 35 minutes for the second session.
India's lead is now 400! Brilliant batting from both Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. This Test is turning out to be a completely different story to what it seemed like about 46 hours ago.
And this time, it is Rishabh Pant who reaches his fifty. India have continued the good work of the second day into the third. Talk about a milestone in your comeback Test! A true story of grit, resilience and hunger! Pant marches on as India push towards a 400-run lead.
It has been a good 60 minutes of play for India with both Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill looking to score and score freely. India's lead now has stretched past 350, and the hosts will be looking to continue to pile on the misery on Bangladesh.
And that's a fifty for Shubman Gill, and a much needed one. He has come out positive, with a lot of intent, and has also been using his feet very well. No major celebration, but just a raise of the bat. India's lead now inches towards 350.
And here we go, it is slightly overcast in Chennai, but the players make the walk out to the middle. A bit of glove love between Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant before they get things underway on Day 3. There has been quite a bit of Gill noise around, can be put a big full stop to it?
There has been a bit of rain last night, and the rain gods have also made a quick appearance in the morning at the Chepauk. The pitch and outfield were covered, and have also been peeled off. The good news is, we should start on time!
Well, with all the expectations of the surface flattening out on Day 2 at the MA Chidarambaram Stadium, to everyone's surprise, it saw the bowlers having a ball as 17 wickets fell. What will Day 3 showcase? Well, regardless, it should be a good, riveting contest.
