The star of the show for India was undoubtedly Ravichandran Ashwin who hit his sixth Test century and pulled India out of trouble, combining with Ravindra Jadeja for a 199-run seventh wicket partnership. Ashwin got out on 113 while Jadeja missed his century, losing his wicket on 86.
Earlier, Hasan Mahmud wrecked India's top order getting rid of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli in his opening spell. Yashasvi Jaiswal managed to score a fifty even as wickets kept falling around him. Mahmud then returned to dismiss Rishabh Pant early in the second session and finally completed his fifer by taking the wicket of Jasprit Bumrah, the final wicket of India. Mahmud finished with five wickets and gave away 83 runs.
