1st Test: Bumrah, Akash Rock Bangladesh After Ashwin’s 113 Takes India To 376
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep rocked Bangladesh with the new ball to leave them at 26/3 in seven overs, and trail India by 350 runs at lunch on day two of first Test at Chennai. Earlier, veteran off-spin all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin top-scored with a fine 113 as India's first innings ended at 376 in 91.2 overs.
India struck in the opening over as Bumrah changed his angle to come around the wicket and got one to nip back in and go past a shouldering Shadman Islam to hit the top of off-stump. With Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj bowling attacking lengths, it was baptism by fire time for the Bangladeshi batters.
In the final over before lunch, Akash knocked down the middle stump of Zakir Hasan with a nip-backer coming in from wide of the crease. On the very next ball, he castled Mominul Haque with a nip-backer going past the batter’s forward defence to hit the off-stump, as seven wickets fell in the first session.
