After a quick 1st innings with the bat, India snapped two wickets of Bangladesh in the second innings and lead by 26 runs as the second Test moves into Day 5. Batting in their first innings on Day 4, India scored 285/9 before declaring their innings, banking on half-centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. India got themselves off to a blistering start courtesy of the fastest-ever 50, 100, 150, and 200 in Test history.

Earlier, After a fine bowling effort culminated with Ravindra Jadeja’s 300th Test wicket, skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal came out all guns blazing as India romped to the fastest Test team fifty and hundred in the second session. While Rohit’s onslaught was shortlived, Jaiswal raced to a 31-ball fifty – the fastest by an Indian opener. Jaiswal eventually fell on 72, shortly before Tea. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant led India to the break at 138/2 in 16 overs, where runs have come at over 8 runs per over.

On Day 1, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had invited Bangladesh to bat first after winning the toss. Seamer Akash Deep struck twice in the first session, removing Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam. Ravichandran Ashwin then clinched the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh remained at 107/3 before the Stumps were called after just 35 overs of play on Day 1.

Bangladesh trail 1-0 in the two-match series after having lost the first Test to the hosts in Chennai by a dominant margin of 280 runs. The visitors had arrived in India on the back of a 2-0 whitewashing of Pakistan away from home.
