1st Test: Ravichandran Ashwin Picks Three As India Reduce Bangladesh To 158/4
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: Veteran off-spin all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin picked three crucial wickets as India reduced Bangladesh to 158/4 in 37.2 overs at stumps, taken early due to bad light, on Day Three of the first Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
With two more days still left in the game, it is now a chase in whether India, who are clearly in the driver’s seat in the match, pick six wickets first or Bangladesh, who began the chase well, orchestrate the impossible by making the remaining 357 runs. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is unbeaten on 51, with Shakib Al Hasan giving him company at five not out.
The final session began with openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam resuming their unbroken 56-run stand. The duo could add only six runs to their opening partnership before Jasprit Bumrah enticed Zakir into going for a drive and Yashasvi Jaiswal dived to his left at the gully to take a fabulous catch.
