Mohammed Siraj puts Bangladesh in trouble

Clinical bowling from Siraj helped India dominate Bangladesh in their first innings. He removed opening batter Najmul Hossain Shanto off the very first ball of the innings. He got rid of the other opener Zakir Hossain as well, apart from dismissing Litton Das.

Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav picked up three wickets, while Umesh Yadav scalped a wicket. At the time of writing, Bangladesh are tottering at 102/7 after 34.2 overs. The visitors will look to bowl the Tigers out early and enforce a follow-on.

Earlier in the day, Ravichandran Ashwin (58) and Kuldeep Yadav (40) stood tall to share a 92-run stand for the eighth wicket. Their excellent knocks propelled the visitors to a score of 404.

On Day 1, Cheteshwar Pujara (90) and Shreyas Iyer (86) played valuable knocks. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam returned with four-wicket hauls for the hosts, while Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain settled for a wicket apiece.

Team India head Rahul Dravid, meanwhile, spoke about the side's intention to win the Test series. In a recent conversation with Sony Sports Network and BCCI, he said:

“It’s one step at a time. We got to win this one first and then go to Dhaka and try and replicate that.”

It's worth mentioning that KL Rahul and Co. are currently fourth in the World Test Championship (WTC) table. They will look to win the two-Test series against Bangladesh to stay ahead in the hunt for a top-two finish.
