Bangladesh Elect To Bowl First In Chennai

The visitors, high on a historic series win over Pakistan, were very clear regarding how they wanted to go about their business and had no hesitation in winning the toss and elected to bowl first. Bangladesh's pacers backed the captain's decision with their performance with Hasan leading the wicket-taking business. At one stage, India were in danger of getting out for less than 200.

However, it was the local lad Ashwin who put his hand up and scored an attacking hundred, taking the attack back to the opposition. Ashwin looked at ease against both the spinners and pacers and once the Bangladesh bowlers felt under pressure, Jadeja also came to his own. The duo ensured India did not lose any more wicket on Day 1, going to Stumps at 339/6.

India Lose Last Four Wickets In First Hour Of Day 2

On Day 2, however, India could not get past the 400-run mark, one which they would have fancied while Ashwin and Jadeja were there. Taskin Ahmed removed Jadeja to break the stand after which Indian tail couldn't wag for long, with the Indian side getting all out for 376. Ashwin too fell to Taskin with the pacer finishing with figures of 3/55. Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked up a wicket each.
