Hasan Mahmud to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Uppish but in the gap and that will be the first boundary of the Test match. Floated up full and outside off, Rohit Sharma is able to get forward and drive through the line and through the big gap between covers and point for a boundary.

4.2
Taskin Ahmed to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Top shot from Jaiswal! Too full and straight, all the swing is negated by the length and Jaiswal just clears the front leg before whipping it across through mid-wicket for a boundary.

5.1
Hasan Mahmud to Rohit Sharma, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The writing was on the wall with that one and Hasan Mahmud does get rid of the Indian skipper with a lovely delivery. Immaculate length, neither full nor short and on off stump, this one angles in but leaves the right-hander after pitching. Rohit Sharma stays put and looks to block with soft hands but the outside edge is found and Najmul Hossain Shanto takes a good low catch at second slip. India 14/1 as Sharma goes for 6 (19).

6.4
Taskin Ahmed to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! That was exquisite from Jaiswal! Overpitched now and outside off, Jaiswal leans into the shot and drives it firmly through covers, even holding the pose to find the fence.

6.6
Taskin Ahmed to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Hammered away! Taskin changes the angle of attack by coming around the stumps and serves it right in the slot on off, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets his body weight forward and pings the on drive through the vacant mid on region for another boundary.

7.3
Hasan Mahmud to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shubman Gill will be kicking himself and that is a soft dismissal. Hasan Mahmud looks for the delivery that angles back in as he knows Gill has a weakness with that but gets the line wrong and spills it down leg. Gill looks to flick and is drawn well forward and somehow manages to edge it down to the keeper. Litton Das moves swiftly to his left and takes the catch. Gill departs for a duck and India in early trouble at 28/2!

9.2
Hasan Mahmud to Virat Kohli, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hasan Mahmud will be on cloud nine as he gets a third wicket and the Indian right-handers just can't seem to play against him at the moment. Lovely length from Mahmud but the line is a bit wide of the off stump. It still draws the batter forward and Virat Kohli looks to drive with hard hands and that slight away movement means a faint outside edge is found. The ball nestles into the gloves of Litton Das behind the stumps and India in a spot of real bother now at 34/3 inside the first 10 overs.

12.1
Nahid Rana to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Now, that's a good shot from Pant! Nahid Rana bangs it into the surface and clocks 140.3 kph, but the line is wide outside off on a hard length, Rishabh Pant gets the desired bounce and width, climbs on the bounce and cuts it behind square with firm hands for a boundary at deep backward point.
4
13.4
Hasan Mahmud to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Great shot that! An inswinger from Hasan Mahmud, angling on the off stump line and finishing at the middle stump, Yashasvi Jaiswal walks a couple of steps ahead to negate the swing, meets the ball underneath his eyes, middles it from the bat, and flicks it with the angled bat through the vacant mid-wicket region for a classic boundary. 50 up for India.

14.3
Nahid Rana to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Nicely driven! Nahid Rana bowls it fuller now, and almost a half volley on off, Rishabh Pant taps his front leg ahead to weigh forward and drives it firmly through the cover-point region for a boundary. The fielder from deep backward point runs to his left to intercept the ball but it wins the race.

16.4
Nahid Rana to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Pulled away in disdain! Nahid Rana bangs it short and angles on off, Rishabh Pant picks the length early, readies himself with a stable base, swivels and pulls it nicely through square leg for a boundary.
4
18.2
Mehidy Hasan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Good shot! Jaiswal moves into his 30s now. Tossed up, full and outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal takes a huge stride ahead and creams the drive through covers for a boundary.
4
18.4
Mehidy Hasan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Swept away nicely! Mehidy Hasan again bowls it full and on off from around the stumps, Yashasvi Jaiswal reads the line early, sits down on his knee and brings out the broom, sweeps it well past square leg for a boundary.
4
20.1
Mehidy Hasan to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Not an ideal start for Mehidy Hasan so far. Short of a length, and outside off, Rishabh Pant cashes on the width and powers the cut off the back foot through the cover-point for a cracking boundary.
4
21.3
Taskin Ahmed to Rishabh Pant, EDGED AND FOUR! Pant too, moves in his 30s now in a streaky fashion. Also, the 50-run stand comes up between these two. This is a fuller-length delivery with a wobbled seam, nipping away a touch, Rishabh Pant is forced to push at it and the outside edge is found, the ball carries to the second slip where Shadman Islam is a bit late to react at it as he initially moves to his right and then casually dives to his left but the ball evades his hands and races away to the fence for a boundary at deep third. Taskin Ahmed is not really happy with the effort and has that grim look on his face.

25.2
Hasan Mahmud to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! First boundary of the second session comes off the bat of Pant! This is a stylish shot from the southpaw. Hard length, outside off from Hasan, Rishabh Pant gets the width and cuts it off the back foot through the vacant point region for a boundary.
W
25.3
Hasan Mahmud to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Hasan Mahmud redeems himself and in what style! He gets his fourth wicket and Rishabh Pant falls for the trap of that width offered. Hasan Mahmud bowls it way outside off on a hard length, slightly nipping away from the batter, Rishabh Pant goes back and lazily attempts for the cut shot. He kind of wanted to leave it but that lack of clarity in decision-making means, he is late on the shot. And with no proper weight transfer on the back foot, he hangs his bat away from his body and the bottom edge is found. Litton Das behind the pegs makes no mistake as he moves towards the direction of the ball to his left and takes a simple catch. Rishabh Pant is animated with that shot and India are 96/4. Rishabh Pant departs on a well-made 39 (52).

27.1
Hasan Mahmud to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Jaiswal moves into his 40s with that sublime front foot drive. And with that, India's 100 comes up as well. Hasan Mahmud bowls it wide of off and full, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets close to the ball on the front foot, middles it and drives it crisply through cover-point for a boundary.
4
30.1
Nahid Rana to KL Rahul, FOUR! Sublime! Wasn't a bad ball at all but Rahul adjusted to that brilliantly. Much fuller and coming into the batter. KL Rahul waits for it to arrive, presents a straight bat, middles it and drives it down the ground to the left of mid on for a boundary.
4
33.2
Taskin Ahmed to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Jaiswal is very productive in that area! Pitched up, outside off, Jaiswal makes the most of the width, with a good stride forward and drives it through covers for a boundary.
4
40.3
Mehidy Hasan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Uppish but in the gap! Mehidy Hasan gives it more air and floats it outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets on the front foot to drive and gets it just wide of Najmul Hossain Shanto at covers for a boundary.

41.4
Nahid Rana to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Nahid Rana with a massive wicket for Bangladesh and he certainly enjoyed that one. Rana steams in from over the wicket and bowls it just short of a good length on off and middle at a thunderous 148.6 kph. The ball just wobbles away after pitching and Yashasvi Jaiswal gets a bit squared up while trying to block off the back foot. Jaiswal gets the outside edge that goes straight into the bread basket of Shadman Islam at first slip. End of a fighting knock from Jaiswal worth 56 (118) and the 48-run stand between Jaiswal and Rahul ends with India's half side into the dugout now.
W
42.2
Mehidy Hasan to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! That is a fine, fine catch from Zakir Hasan at short leg and all of a sudden, Bangladesh are back on top. Mehidy Hasan keeps floating the ball up and drifts this one onto the legs, KL Rahul looks to just flick it away but the ball goes right off the inside edge and goes low to the right of short leg where Zakir is quick to react and gets across to pouch it with both hands. India in deep trouble at 144 for 6 as Rahul departs for a sluggish 16 (52). India have now lost both their set batters within the span of an over and now, they need to rebuild once again. But this has been a fine bowling display from the Bangladeshi bowlers.

42.5
Mehidy Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! A bit of counter attack right away from Ravindra Jadeja. Tossed up quite full on off, Jadeja comes down the pitch and hammers it away against the turn over mid on for a boundary.
4
43.1
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! That is a fine shot from Ravichandran Ashwin and the 150 comes up for India. Back of a length and outside off, Ashwin stands tall and punches it on the up through the cover region and picks up a boundary.
4
43.6
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Too loose from Nahid Rana after picking up that wicket and India get 14 runs off that over. Short and wide, asking to be hit, Ravichandran Ashwin stays put and slaps the ball away in front of point for another boundary.
4
47.4
Hasan Mahmud to Ravichandran Ashwin, EDGED AND FOUR! Unlucky for Hasan Mahmud and had there been an extra slip fielder, it would have gone to hand. Hard length, on a tighter line around off and just seaming away. Ravichandran Ashwin has a bit of a poke at it and gets an outside edge that goes perfectly between the second slip and gully for a boundary.
6
49.3
Hasan Mahmud to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Ravindra Jadeja takes on the short ball and parks it into the stands for the first six of the match. Short ball over off, angling it in, Jadeja gets into a good position before lifting the pull shot in front of square leg for a biggie. This partnership is already worth 40 runs.
4
51.4
Hasan Mahmud to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Flashed and flashed hard by Ravichandran Ashwin and again, Hasan Mahmud looks to be one who might get a wicket here. Full and wide outside off, on a driving length and Ashwin goes after it. He gets a thick outside edge that flies over the outstretched hands of Zakir Hasan at gully for a boundary.
4
51.5
Hasan Mahmud to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Wow, that has been hammered away and the local boy is giving the crowd a lot to cheer about now. Overpitched outside off, Ravichandran Ashwin gets his body weight well forward and bludgeons the cover drive through the gap for a boundary. The 50-run stand is also up between these two in just 57 deliveries.
4
52.1
Shakib Al Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Starts off with a real loosener and Ravindra Jadeja takes full advantage of it. Bowled from over the stumps, full and drifting down leg, Jadeja gets inside the line and just paddles it past short fine leg for a boundary. The 200 also comes up for India.
6
52.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Ravichandran Ashwin, SIX! Wow, Ravichandran Ashwin seems to be brimming with confidence here as he smokes that one out of the park. Around the wicket to the right-hander and drifted in full on middle and leg, Ashwin sits down, clears the front leg and swats it over cow corner for a biggie. The crowd really enjoyed that one.
4
54.2
Shakib Al Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Jadeja not trying to hold back now either. Tossed up again, around off and angling in, Jadeja goes down on one knee and swings it away in front of mid-wicket for a boundary.
4
54.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! These two taking on Shakib Al Hasan and getting plenty of purchase now. Another one that is tossed up full and straight, Jadeja steps out and drills the drive right back past the bowler for another boundary.
4
57.1
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Ravichandran Ashwin is enjoying batting out there and picks up yet another boundary to move on to 47. Full and straight, angling in but it is a bit too straight and Ashwin is able to get across and drive it wide of mid on for a boundary.
4
60.5
Mehidy Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! 'Catch it' is the call but that's gone straight as an arrow. Flighted delivery, drifted into middle and leg, turning away, Jadeja steps out and looks to go against the turn over wide mid on but ends up slicing it back over the bowler's head for a boundary.
4
61.2
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! That was so cleverly done by Ravichandran Ashwin. Nahid Rana keeps the length short around off, not short enough and Ashwin is able to simply bend back and ramp it over the slip cordon down to deep third for a boundary. India running away with it in the final session at the moment.
4
61.6
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Bangladesh giving into nerves here when they just need to remain a bit patient and keep things tight. Nahid Rana goes for a toe-crushing yorker but spills it down leg, Ravichandran Ashwin gets enough bat on it and the ball races away to the fine leg fence.
4
65.1
Shakib Al Hasan to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Swept away smartly! Flighted and pitched up, on middle and leg, Ashwin sits down on his knee, brings out the broom and sweeps it towards deep backward square leg for a boundary.
4
68.6
Mehidy Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! 'Catch it' was the call but there was no one in the deep there. Mehidy Hasan drops a predictable shortish delivery at off, Ravindra Jadeja is quick to read the length and goes back in the crease, brings out the pull shot over mid-wicket for a boundary to end the over. The partnership for the 7th wicket extends to 138 runs now.
4
70.5
Mehidy Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Pulled away, ruthlessly! That half-tracker from Mehidy, on middle and off, it stays comparatively low on the bounce, Ravindra Jadeja is quick to go back in the crease and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. He moves into his 60s with that, does Jadeja.
4
71.2
Nahid Rana to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! This brings up a 150-run partnership between the two vastly experienced campaigners. Touch of class from Jadeja and these two have made batting look so easy. Full in length, and angling outside off, Ravindra Jadeja plants his front foot in the line, gets his bat down vertically, connects well and drives it through covers for a boundary. This is also the highest 7th wicket stand at Chennai in Tests.
6
72.3
Mehidy Hasan to Ravichandran Ashwin, SIX! Oh, that's a mighty, mighty hit from Ashwin which brings up the 300 for India! Ashwin running away on his merry way here.

73.4
Nahid Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Fantastic shot that! Predictable short one, outside off, Ashwin gets a good width outside off and a bounce on his waist height, covers the stumps and cuts it powerfully through point for a boundary.

74.1
Mehidy Hasan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Jadeja into his 70s now with that glorious pull shot! Short but not that short on a length, around off, Ravindra Jadeja goes back and across and powerfully pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary.
