Mohammed Siraj removes Najmul Hossain Shanto; Bangladesh are 4 points behind against India

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 1st Test Day 2024: Pacer Akash Deep's double strike helped India reduce Bangladesh to a nervous 26 for three at lunchtime and tighten their grip in the first Test on the second day of play here on Friday. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (15) and Mushfiqur Rahim (4) were in bat at lunchtime. The visitors were 350 runs behind India's 376 after Akash rocked them early (2/5).

India, who had recovered to 339 for 6 during the night, conceded 376 in the first innings. The total was based on the superb knocks of Ravichandran Ashwin (113, 133 balls, 11×4, 2×6) and Ravindra Jadeja (86, 124 balls, 10×4, 2×6).

Their seventh-wicket alliance was worth 199 runs off 240 balls and withstood the Bangladesh bowlers for 189 minutes in three sessions.

After that valiant effort, India needed a good start to maintain the momentum and Bumrah provided that by removing Shadman Islam (2) from the game.

Islam shouldered his arms after a delivery thrown to him from the wicket side, the ball bounced back a little and slammed onto the stumps.

Soon after, Akash got the scalps of Zakir Hasan (3) and Mominul Haque (0) in two consecutive balls, putting Bangladesh in trouble as both batters fatally played the wrong line.
