India vs Bangladesh Highlights, 1st Test: Centurion Ashwin, Jadeja take India to 339/6 at stumps on Day 1

Interesting one from Hasan Mahmud, who was bowling his 11th over of the day. No runs were scored from the bat of Yashasvi Jaiswal but two boundaries from a bye and a leg bye added 8 runs to India's total.

BOOM! Yashasvi Jaiswal (41*) brings up 100 for India with a cracking four through the backward point off Hasan Mahmud. Jaiswal is in 40s now.

A four and a wicket in successive balls. Rishabh Pant (39 off 52 balls) smashed a cracking four wide of point fielder, before poking one behind the stumps in the very next ball. Fourth wicket for Hasan Mahmud, he is having the best day of his short Test career. Pant added 62 runs for the fourth wicket with Yashasvi Jaiswal, but a big wicket early in the second session is not good for India.

KL Rahul is out in the middle as No.6 batter for the hosts.

After rookie Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud rocked the Indian top order with a three-wicket burst on the opening day of the first Test in Chennai, Rishabh Pant had a little argument with rival wicketkeeper Litton Das.

Pant, who is making a comeback to Test cricket since recovering from the serious car accident in December 2022, was at the receiving end of a throw, which annoyed him; and the words he exchanged with Das were caught on the stump microphone.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant are back in the middle to continue their revival duty. They need to play big innings to put the hosts in front in the match. Hasan Mahmud with the ball for Bangladesh in the second session too.

Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud struck early to dismantle India's top order on the opening day of the first Test in Chennai. At lunch, India stood at 88 for three, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant adding 54 runs for the fourth wicket.

Bangladesh chose to bowl first, and it was Mahmud who made an impact with his three-wicket haul for just 14 runs in seven overs. Rohit Sharma was the first to fall, edging a tight delivery to second slip. Shubman Gill was caught behind soon after, and Virat Kohli followed, edging a delivery to wicketkeeper Litton Das.

Good second hour for India after a horrific first hour, in which they lost three wickets for 34. From 34/3 in 9.2 overs, young batters Yashasvi Jaiswal (37* off 62) and Rishabh Pant (33* off 44) put on unbeaten 54 runs for the fourth wicket to take the hosts to 88 for 3 at the lunch break on the opening day of the first Test in Chennai. Hasan Mahmud was the wrecker-in-chief for Bangladesh early in the Indian innings, taking all the three big wickets - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli.

Rishabh Pant (31*) gets lucky as Shadman Islam dropped a tough chance at first slip. The ball went to the boundary and it brings up the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket between Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal (36*).

Bowler Taskin Ahmed is not happy at all. Islam was a bit late in his dive and the ball went past him.

Rishabh Pant (26*) smashes it through extra cover for a cracking boundary off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Miraz is being targetted by India batters to score boundaries at the moment.

Bowling changed. Spin introduced for the first time today. Mehidy Hasan Miraz came into the attack for Bangladesh. Yashasvi Jaiswal (36*) smashes two fours in it - first a drive through covers and two balls later a sweep shot for his sixth boundary. 8 runs off it - another good one for India.

Rishabh Pant (19*) pulled one for a classy four towards backward square leg off Nahid Rana. Another good one for India, six runs off it. The stand between Jaiswal and Pant is now 31 runs.

0 0 4 1 2 0 - A decent one for India. Rishabh Pant (13*) smashed a four off Nahid Rana through covers for his second boundary. Seven runs off it. Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are slowly reviving the Indian innings in the middle.

Yashasvi Jaiswal brings up 50 for India with a four towards deep mid-wicket off Hasan Mahmud. Jaiswal (24*) is not only keeping one end intact but scoring runs for the hosts too.

First boundary for Rishabh Pant. Short and wide from Nahid Rana and Pant cuts it over backward point for a four.

Six overs in a row! Hasan Mahmud continued his spell and bowled another tidy one - four runs off it. Rishabh Pant (3* off 7) opened his account with a three in it. Hasan's figures so far: 6-2-10-3. Excellent!

Drinks Break! First bowling change for Bangladesh. Young pacer Nahid Rana came into the attack and started his spell with a few good bouncers to Yashasvi Jaiswal. A decent start for the young fast bowler - just two runs off it including a no-ball.

Undoubtedly, the first hour of the match belonged to the visitors.

Big blow for India! Edged & Gone. Third wicket for Hasan Mahmud. Virat Kohli went for a big drive outside off stump but only managed a healthy edge. Regulation catch for keeper Litton Das. All three wickets were out behind the stumps so far. Virat Kohli scored just 6 off 6 balls. India are in big trouble now.

Rishabh Pant comes in to bat at No.5 for India.

Second wicket for Hasan Mahmud, dismisses Shubman Gill for a duck. Gill was out caught behind on the leg side. Good catch by Bangladesh keeper Litton Das, diving to his left. Gill played eight deliveries but failed to open his account.

Virat Kohli comes in to bat at No.4 for India.

0 2 0 4 0 4 - Big one for India. Yashasvi Jaiswal (17*) played two lovely drives to score two fours off Taskin Ahmed. The left-hander amassed 10 runs off the pacer. Good, positive batting from the young opener.

BEAUTY! Yashasvi Jaiswal (13*) smashed it through the extra cover for his second boundary off Taskin Ahmed. Jaiswal looks in good touch.

Big Wicket! India captain Rohit Sharma poked an away going delivery close to his pad and the second slip made no mistake. Rohit's counterpart Najmul Hossain Shanto took a sharp low catch to send the hosts skipper back to the pavilion. Rohit was finding it tough to negotiate the early seam conditions and scored just 6 off 19 balls.

Shubman Gill comes in to bat at No.3.

First good one for India in terms of the way the runs are scored. Yashasvi Jaiswal (7*) opened his boundary count with a classy flick towards midwicket off Taskin Ahmed.

After surviving LBW decision off the second ball of the over, Rohit Sharma hit the first boundary of the series - a four through point area. Good one from Hasan Mahmud. India openers are finding it tough to negotiate the early seaming conditions at the moment.

Big shout for LBW against India captain Rohit Sharma off Hasan Mahmud. The on-field umpire said 'not-out'. Bangladesh took DRS and the review showed that the ball was just clipping the bails. Rohit survived on 'umpire's call' in this. Good bowling from Bangladesh pacers.

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed continued to impress with his seam bowling. He started his second over with a beauty, squaring up Yashasvi Jaiswal with a peach of a delivery. He also troubled Rohit Sharma with a sharp bouncy inswinger. Rohit opened his account with a single off the final delivery.

Good start from Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed, just one run off it. Yashasvi Jaiswal opened his account with a single, while Rohit Sharma played and missed the final delivery of the over. Encouraging signs for the Bangladesh pacers.

Taskin Ahmed with the ball for Bangladesh. Yashasvi Jaiswal to face the first delivery with his skipper Rohit Sharma on the non-striker's end.

"(4 Tests in Chennai - his most memorable) The game against England was a game played after the Covid break, the first time the crowd was back. I didn't expect that kind of a reception. For that game to turn out the way it turned out for me was quite special. It's always been an incredible ground for me, great memories, very old memories as well. Excitement and ambition always remain the same when I take the field. Cricket is a game that I totally adore. I have enjoyed every single moment that I have been on the field. Age is a number but the kind of work you stack up over a period of time to get out there in the park and have the best energy levels to be able to persevere and keep going ... definitely takes a toll over a period of time. You need to work harder to get that little bit of an advantage. All the Test matches that we have played here barring the one where it was kind of low-scoring against England, generally the batsmen have got huge runs. The game against Australia was literally a 500 play 500 sort of a wicket. It's always been a good Test match pitch. We are gonna be playing on a red soil pitch again. There'll be a lot of bounce, there's going to be value for bowlers as well. All facets of the game will be in play. Certainly they (Bangladesh) have put their hand up and said, 'look we are a team on the rise and we are playing wonderful cricket.' I watched some of those clips (vs Pakistan), it wasn't live in India, truly an exceptional result for the Bangladeshi cricket team. I am one of those guys who loves to see the underdog come out and perform. You can't call them an underdog anymore, they have played some wonderful cricket. They challenged us in Bangladesh when we were there the last time. Really looking forward to a good series." - Ravichandran Ashwin

India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj

Bangladesh Playing XI: Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das (w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto wins the toss, opts to bowl against India at Chepauk in Chennai.

"It's a day very unlike what we are used to in Chennai - very cool at the moment at 28 degrees, but as the day progresses, it promises to be 33-34 which will be like the Chennai we all know. As we speak about the pitch, it's a red soil pitch. And what does red soil mean - bounce, turn and as the game progresses, the big spinners come into play. They have left a little bit of residual moisture underneath the pitch. So the fast bowlers will have their say at the start." - Dinesh Karthik

Mohammed Shami will miss the series as he recovers from an ankle surgery but Bangladesh batters will still have to deal with the cunning and craft of India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and the lively pace of Mohammed Siraj.

The series will literally be a different ball game altogether for Shanto and his men.

Used to playing with the Kookaburra ball, they will have to adjust to the SG variety with pronounced seam in India.

India are hoping to make the WTC final for the third time in a row and are eyeing a strong start to their season, which also includes three home tests against New Zealand followed by five in Australia.

They have been reinforced by wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's return to the side after a horrible crash in December 2022.

Dhruv Jurel, who impressed both behind and in front of the stumps in the home series against England earlier this year, will have to wait for his turn.

A series sweep against Bangladesh will cement India's place atop the World Test Championship (WTC) standings but the team under Rohit Sharma are guarding against any complacency in the two-match home series beginning in Chennai today.

Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, are on a high after their memorable 2-0 series victory in Pakistan, a team they had never beaten before in a test match.

The task will be tougher against India, who have prevailed in 11 of the 13 previous encounters between the neighbours -- the other two were draws -- and have not lost a home test series since 2012.
