The Indian pace attack  bowled a relentless line after Tea to pepper the Bangladeshi batsman with a lot of short pitch deliveries and struck the timber with effortless ease. While Ishant Sharma bowled a terrific spell to dismiss tailenders Mehidy Hasan and Ebadat Hossain in quick succession, Mohammad Shami scalped Abu Jayed to end a disappointing batting effort by the visitors. Ishant Sharma became the first Indian bowler to take a five wicket haul in Day-Night Tests.
