Here are the Highlights of Day 1 of the 1st Test Match between India and Bangladesh straight from Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
- 16:14 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!Axar Patel has been dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Azar has reviewed it, but the decision will stay as the ball tracking found that it could have clipped the leg stump. India's review is saved but not Axar. He falls for 14 runs off 26 balls and that is the stumps on Day 1.
- 16:02 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!Axar Patel finally manages to pierce the gap between the cover and short extra-cover fielders. It was bowled fuller from Ebadat Hossain and Axar brought a fine cover drive for a four. The cover fielder did give it a run but the ball had enough legs to beat him.
- 15:47 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!Taijul Islam has cleaned up Cheteshwar Pujara! That is an absolute beauty from the left-arm spinner to break the defence of Pujara. It was bowled around the good length area and spun so much that even missed the outside edge of Pujara's bat. However, the ball hit his off stump. Pujara departs for 90 runs off 203 balls.
- 15:46 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: Bizarre incident!Shreyas Iyer can call himself extremely lucky as he was gone for all the money, but his luck sees him survive. A good length ball from Edbadat Hossain stayed low and passed the defence of Iyer and hit the stumps. For a moment, all the Bangladesh players erupted in joy but all that was spoiled as the bails did not go off.
- 15:10 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!Taijul Islam gave a bit of flight on the ball and Cheteshwar Pujara was quick to dance down the track and hit it for a four in front of square leg. The fielder did give it a chase but Pujara's flick shot had enough power to see the ball travel to the boundary rope for a four.
- 14:18 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: Fifty for Cheteshwar Pujara!Cheteshwar Pujara races to his fifty with a boundary on the off side and then smashes another four on the very next ball. He gets to his 34th half-century in the format. The right-handed batter has held one end tight despite India losing wickets at regular intervals.
- 13:46 (IST)
- 12:44 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: Lucky escape for Iyer!Shreyas Iyer had almost chopped a Mehidy Hasan delivery on his stumps but he was lucky enough to survive the scare. Iyer leaned forward but the good length ball from Hasan turned into him and took the inside edge of his bat. The ball then missed the stumps by a whisker.
- 11:08 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: It's lunch time!That'll be the Lunch on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test match between India and Bangladesh. Rishabh Pant and Chetehwar Pujara added 37 runs off only 39 balls to help India make a bit of recovery, but the session belonged to Bangladesh and their spinner Taijul Islam, who claimed two wickets, including that of Virat Kohli.
- 10:35 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!This is a big-big wicket for Bangladesh and Taijul Islam is on top of the moon. He has bowled a beauty to trap Virat Kohli plumb in front of the stumps. Umpire has raised his finger in approval. Kohli has gone for a review, but it's of no use as he is gone for all the money... TV umpire gives a nod to the decision and India are three down.
- 10:02 (IST)India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!Taijul Islam has provided Bangladesh the first breakthrough of the game! It is Shubman Gill who will have to depart for a score of 20. It was a fuller ball on the stumps and Gill tried to play a sweep shot on it. The ball bounced and took the edge of his bat before Yasir Ali could take a dolly at leg slip.
