We are back for Bangladesh's second innings and there are 9 overs remaining in the day, light permitting that is. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan are the openers for Bangladesh. It will be Umesh Yadav who will get proceedings underway with the ball here.
... THIRD INNINGS ...
India will be disappointed with their performance as they couldn't reach the 400-run mark which looked possible at the end of the second session. The Pant-Iyer partnership was the key one for India but unfortunately, neither batter could not score a century. Pant scored 93 whilst Iyer scored 87. Nonetheless, they have a lead of 87 runs and will hope to bundle their opponents to a low total. Can India take some quick wickets now? Or will Bangladesh walk out of Day 2 at no loss? We shall find out shortly...
A good comeback after the damage done in the second session and Shakib Al Hasan will be happy with the team's performance. They got Rishabh Pant early on at the start of the final session and Shreyas Iyer soon followed the suit. Once the set batters lost their way, the wickets kept on tumbling for India. Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers in the final session as he bagged 4 wickets. The onus is now on their batters to put up a solid opening stand and stay wicketless at the end of Day 2.
OUT! STUMPED! That's it Shakib Al Hasan picks up his fourth wicket and India are bowled out late on Day 2. Mohammed Siraj pre-meditates and shimmies down the track.

Nurul Hasan whips off the bails and Siraj seems very disappointed. India finish with 314 runs on the board and lead by 87 runs.
