Got out today, part and parcel. We have to put up a good score in the second innings. Happy with my bowling. Good opportunity to take my 300th Test wicket at this ground. We have to add another 120-150 from here and then try to dismiss them as early as possible. The pitch is very good for batting, but there is something in it for fast bowlers. The odd ball was seaming, the odd ball was hooping around. If fast bowlers bend their back, they can get wickets. Ashwin doesn't need any advice. I was just talking to him that we are not going to make errors because the wicket was good and we were batting well. I said we'll look to take singles, I'll try and not make you run hard. Well played to him, brilliant knock at his home ground. There is something in the wicket for the fast bowler and for spinners, the odd ball spins and the odd one keeps low.
Ravindra Jadeja struck twice in successive overs as India tightened the noose on Bangladesh, who were 112 for 8 at tea, on the second day of the opening Test here on Friday. Shakib Al Hasan (32) and Litton Das (22) tried to consolidate after the pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj had reduced the visitors to 91/6.
However, left-arm spinner Jadeja (2/18) ended their 51-run partnership as India took five wickets while giving away just 86 runs in the second session, putting Bangladesh in deep trouble.
Bumrah dismissed Hasan Mahmud at the stroke of tea to be the pick of the bowler with 3/28.
Bangladesh still trailed by 264 runs.
Resuming on 339/6, India were bowled out for 376 in 91.2 overs with Hasan Mahmud dismissing Bumrah to complete his five-wicket haul (5/83).
Ravichandran Ashwin's incredible knock ended on 113, adding 11 runs to his overnight total, while Ravindra Jadeja fell for 86.
Pacer Akash Deep's twin strike helped India reduce Bangladesh to an edgy 26 for three at lunch and tighten their grip on the first Test on just the second day of the match here on Friday. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (15) and Mushfiqur Rahim (4) were at the crease when lunch was taken. The visitors were 350 runs adrift of India's 376 all out after Akash rocked them early (2/5).
India, resuming from overnight 339 for six, were bowled out for 376 in their first innings, a total built around excellent knocks by Ravichandran Ashwin (113, 133 balls, 11x4, 2x6) and Ravindra Jadeja (86, 124 balls, 10x4, 2x6).
Their seventh-wicket alliance was worth 199 runs, which came off 240 balls, resisting the Bangladesh bowlers for 189 minutes across three sessions.
After that feisty effort, India needed a fine beginning to sustain the momentum, and Bumrah provided it by dismissing Shadman Islam (2).
Islam shouldered arms to a delivery, which was bowled to him from around the wicket, that cut back a bit, and the ball thudded on to the stumps.
