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

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: India reached 88 for three at lunch on the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai today. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 37 in the company of Rishabh Pant, who is unbeaten on 33.

Pacer Hasan Mahmud claimed all three Indian wickets as skipper Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kolhi were dismissed in the opening session after being put into bat by the visitors on a lively Chepauk pitch.

India have picked fast-bowler Akash Deep as their third seam-bowling option as Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first in the Test series opener at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

India are currently placed at the top of the World Test Championship points table while Bangladesh are at fourth position. The Test in Chennai, to be played on a red-soil pitch, also marks the start of the Indian men’s team’s international home season.

India’s last Test assignment saw them beat England 4-1 at home, while Bangladesh came on the back of securing a remarkable 2-0 series win over Pakistan in Rawalpindi.

After winning the toss, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said his decision was based on exploiting the early moisture on offer at Chepauk.

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.
12:22 (IST) Sep 19
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.

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.

11:26 (IST) Sep 19

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.

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.
10:20 (IST) Sep 19
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Virat Kohli out | India 34/3 in 9.2 overs
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.

Big Wicket! India captain Rohit Sharma poked an away going delivery close to his pad and the second slip made no mistake.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Ashwin speaks
"(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

09:04 (IST) Sep 19

We would have done the same. It's going to be challenging conditions. We have prepared well. Looking at the 10 Test matches, every match is important. But we want to focus on what's in front of us. We had a good prep. Three seamers and two spinners - Bumrah, Akash Deep, Siraj, Ashwin and Jadeja.

India skipper Rohit Sharma

09:03 (IST) Sep 19

I'll like to bowl first. There's moisture and we want to make use of it. Pitch looks hard. The first session will be very good for the seamers. This is a new series. It's a good mixture of experience and youth. We go with three seamers.

"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

IND vs BAN Test Match Scorecard: Bumrah & Siraj will be India's pace attack
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.
08:24 (IST) Sep 19

I have been big believer that we don't fear anyone but we respect everyone. I congratulate them for what they did in Pakistan but this is a new series and they are a quality side and we want to play good cricket. Jurel is a phenomenal player but when Pant is coming in, sometimes people have to wait.

IND vs BAN Test Live: India looking for a hat-trick of WTC final
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.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India face Bangladesh with an eye on WTC final
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.
