Inn Break
Right then, this wraps up the first Test which was immersive, engaging and progressed at a really good pace. A lot of landmarks were achieved here and there as well. Yes, India played better cricket than their counterparts and are the deserved winners. But, moving to the second Test, they would like to address some pertaining issues regarding the top order inconsistencies. Bangladesh, on the other hand, after their successful stint in Pakistan, did show some promise here as well, but only in patches. They have a few positives as well to carry forward and would like to go back to the drawing board to assess where things went wrong. The teams will now head north to Kanpur where the action will unfold for the second and the final Test at the Green Park Stadium. With almost 5 days of break from now, that game will begin on September 27, Friday and the first ball will be bowled at 4 am GMT! Will India execute a clean sweep? Or will Bangladesh find an equalizer? Only time will tell. Until then, take care and cheers!
Ravichandran Ashwin is the Player of the Match for his stunning ton in the first innings and then his six-wicket haul in the final innings. His 10th Player of the Match Award. He starts by joking about the number of MOMs received in Test matches and the broadcaster reminds him that he now has 10 to his name. Goes on to say that whenever he plays in front of the Chennai crowd, it is a special feeling for him and he used to watch a lot of matches in this stands himself. Adds that it was an opportunity for him to dig in deep with the bat and goes on to applaud Jadeja's batting as well. Mentions that he makes a living by bowling and that always comes first but batting is also something that comes naturally and he has tried to compartmentalize both in the last few years.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India says that it is a great result with what lies ahead of them. Says they have been playing Test cricket for a while and it was just about getting together as a group. About the positives, he says Pant has gone through reall tough times and the way he has managed himself through these times, it is really impressive. He was part of the Indian T20 League and was also part of the successful World Cup campaign. Further tells that he loves playing this format of cricket and he always want to contribute with the bat and gloves. He has played Duleep Trophy and prepared himself well and he is happy to see him back in the side. Adds that it does not matter what the conditions are, they need to be ready for it. Continues, that wherever they have traveled in the last few years, they have tried to do well and credit the boys for rising on the opportunities. On the pitch, he says it was a good red soil track and all they needed was to show patience while batting and bowling. On being asked about Ashwin, he says he has been always there to the rescue, and also says that even when Ashwin is not playing cricket, he just keeps learning.
Najmul Hossain Shanto, the captain of Bangladesh says that there were positives to begin with and how the pacers bowled on Day 1 but admits that India then batted really well. Adds that the way they bowled with the new ball and that too for the second series running as well. He says that he enjoys his batting and looks to contribute as much as possible. Adds that they wanted to bat as long as possible on Day 4 without thinking much about the outcome. Reckons that the next match is important and he looks forward to it.
... The Presentation Ceremony ...
Rishabh Pant is down for a quick chat. He says that it was a very special knock for him as he loves playing in Chennai and it was his first Test since coming back. Adds that it was emotional for him as he wanted to do well after coming back but the win gives him more pleasure than anything else. Mentions that in the first innings, he tries to read the situation in his own way and at that time, they needed a partnership which he looked to build.
India's bowlers entered the fray with clear intent, yet breakthroughs proved frustratingly elusive. Bumrah and Siraj, bowling with heart and precision, peppered the batters with testing deliveries. Rohit Sharma turned to Jadeja in search of a breakthrough but to no avail. The pitch offered visible rough patches, providing grip, turn, and bounce, and the spin twins were summoned. Bangladesh's resilience was dashed away the moment Ashwin and Jadeja were introduced into the attack. Ashwin got the better of Shakib and opened the gates for India with a spectacular 5-fer. The spin tandem did the damage and it was Ashwin who ended up with a spectacular 6-wicket haul while Jadeja took three of his own to sail India to the victory.
Regardless of how well one bats, pursuing a mammoth target of 515 in Test cricket presents a lot of challenges. Chief among these is the test of patience - a quality that often fluctuates throughout such a daunting task. Shakib, mostly patient couldn't extend his inning further and as they say, one brings two, it was indeed a procession of wickets then. Bangladesh slipped from 194/4 to being all out in the second half of the first session. Skipper Shanto though, remained glued at the crease and was the only lone warrior looking unfazed at one end but he too, fell under pressure and felt shy of his well-deserved century.
Coming into Day 4, it was pretty much the writing on the wall. The only remaining question was how long Bangladesh could hold out and prolong their time at the crease. Overnight batters Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan showcased remarkable resilience, holding their ground for the first hour of play. They treated spectators to some elegant drives early on, though their scoring rate remained cautious as they scored 36 runs in the first hour.
Enter Bumrah, India's bowling trump card. He did what he does best - provided the breakthrough just when India needed it most. And as the pitch began to show its age, Rohit wasted no time in unleashing his spin wizard, Ravichandran Ashwin. True to form and using his vast experience of playing in Chennai, Ashwin delivered, and trapped three batters in a very quick succession. Absolutely contrasting to the second day where 17 whopping wickets tumbled, we saw only 5 wickets on the third day, even with the pitch tiring and slowing out.
Facing this daunting target, Bangladesh started contrastingly well than the first inning. Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam put on an impressive and spirited 62-run partnership, giving their team a slight glimmer of hope. However, the joy was short-lived as wickets began to fall. Despite the setbacks though, Bangladesh maintained a good scoring rate, trying to resist in the face of adversity.
India, sitting on a massive lead, opted to bat again instead of enforcing the follow-on. Their top order faltered once more, but Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant stepped up brilliantly. Both notched up their respective centuries and put India firmly in control. Pant, who returned to Test cricket after more than 630 days, joined the elite list as the fourth quickest wicket-keeper batter to score 6 Test hundreds. Rohit declared with a 514-run lead, earlier than expected, surprising many who thought India would bat through the third day.
When it was Bangladesh's turn to bat, they looked clueless. A few guys got starts, but couldn’t convert. It were only Shakib and Mehidy Hasan who made any real impact, but that wasn’t enough to chase 376. India's bowlers, led by the ever-impressive Bumrah, were just too hot to handle. Before you could blink, Bangladesh was all out for a measly 149.
Day two was when things got really wild. You'd think Chennai in summer would be a batter’s paradise, but nope! Seventeen wickets in one day - that's like a whole team and then some! The seamers were having a field day, grabbing 14 of those wickets. Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud was on fire with a five-wicket haul, while the spinners didn’t get any grip.
So, this Test match? It was a real rollercoaster ride. India were invited to bat first, and it wasn't pretty. The big guns - Rohit, Gill, and Kohli - all fell flat against Bangladesh's pace attack. India was six down and hadn't even hit 150. But here's where it gets interesting - young Jaiswal was out there, cool as a cucumber, while everyone else was losing their heads. Jaiswal found his groove and constructed a stand with Pant, then with KL Rahul. But the real show-stealers? Ashwin and Jadeja. These two came in and turned the game on its head with a massive 199-run partnership. By the end of day one, India had gone from zeros to heroes.
The writing was on the wall and a clinical bowling display from the Indian spinners to do the clean-up work in the end. This is the most comprehensive victory for India against Bangladesh in terms of runs, a staggering margin of 280. India takes the lead by 1-0 in this two-Test match series. For Bangladesh, they had their moments and played decent cricket, but in patches and couldn't capitalize much on those under the difficult conditions of Chennai.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Taskin Ahmed OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed chances his arm yet again but this time, he has to walk back to the hut. Ravichandran Ashwin cleverly just drags the length back a bit and drifts this one into the pads. Taskin Ahmed gets in an awkward position and swings across the line, against the turn as well and gets a top edge. The ball goes high and lands around the mid on region where Mohammed Siraj settles under it nicely and takes a simple catch. Ashwin gets his sixth and India are now just one wicket away from the win.

Ravindra Jadeja To Najmul Hossain Shanto OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Jadeja gets his second and Shanto's brilliant innings come to an end. Bangladesh lose their 8th and the most important wicket and now India can sense a win! Jadeja sticks to dart the ball in quick, and just throws it wider outside off, on a shade fuller length, Shanto swings hard at it and looks to lift it over covers but the ball skids through and comes quickly to the bat. Shanto, as a result, doesn't connect it through the middle and slices it up in the air. The ball swirls over in the overcast skies where Bumrah from covers runs back and takes a fantastic sliding catch. But nonetheless, a true captain's knock from Najmul Hossain Shanto as he departs on a well-constructed 82.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Mehidy Hasan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A complete lapse in concentration from Mehidy Hasan and its that man again, Ravichandran Ashwin with another five-fer that too in front of the home crowd and his family as well. A 37th five-wicket haul in Test matches for Ashwin, equalling the late and great Shane Warne as well, just behind Muralitharan's 67 five-wicket haul, a staggering feat indeed. Ashwin drags the length back and flights the ball up on middle and leg, Mehidy skips down the track but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and yet he tries to force the lofted shot. The ball goes high and down to long on where Ravindra Jadeja is stationed and he takes a simple catch. Bangladesh going down in a hurry now.

Lovely bit of flight on that one, drifted in a tad full and onto middle and leg, Shakib Al Hasan prods to block it off but the ball just takes an inside edge and clips the bat to go behind short leg. Yashasvi Jaiswal over there dives to his left and takes a brilliant low catch, he's been brilliant in the catching positions this game. End of Shakib's resistance as he departs for 25 (56). Also, number 520 for Ashwin as he overtakes the great Courtney Walsh in terms of wickets in Tests. What a brilliant feat for Ravichandran Ashwin!

A gentle loosener to begin with! Shorter and angled down leg from around the stumps.
Drinks break! A very fascinating first hour on Day 4 and Bangladesh have remained resolute so far with both Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan applying themselves brilliantly at the crease. Mohammed Siraj has bowled a long spell and bowled a few top deliveries but Shanto has played him very well. India might now opt for spin for both ends as there is some variable bounce and enough of a rough around the batter's crease to trouble the batters. Bangladesh will be hoping for more of the same at least till Lunch.

Siraj with the first and third slip in place, begins from over the stumps. He hits the deck hard, and slants it across off, Shakib Al Hasan watches it closely and lets it go alone.
All in readiness for the start of Day 4! The umpires are out on the field and so are the players of India. The duo of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan is set to resume its overnight stay on the crease for Bangladesh. It will be Mohammed Siraj to begin proceedings with the ball under cool and overcast conditions. Let's play...
PITCH REPORT - Dinesh Karthik and Murali Kartik are inspecting the Day 4 surface. Murali Kartik begins and says that least number of overs were bowled on the third day with least number of wickets to fall. About the pitch, he says that there is enough bounce and turn for spinners. Dinesh Karthik joins him and states that the pitch is crumbling and enough happening for the spinners. Says that the difference between the red and black soil pitch is that the red soil strip disintegrates. Says that both ends have different kinds of roughs and as they walk on the other side, they state the hardness of the pitch has been consistent.
The weather conditions in Chennai are still gloomy and overcast. There was an overnight rain but fortunately, there's none as we speak, which is a good sign. Also, the players from both camps are seen carrying out their fitness drills. So, let's hope we start on time.
Right then, Bangladesh have a mountain to climb and then some and with four batters already back in the hut, this will be a test of Najmul Hossain Shanto's patience. India on the other hand will look for early breakthroughs to ensure that this game doesn't get prolonged any further. An exciting first session awaits, so, don't go anywhere.
In contrast to Day 2, where we saw as many as 17 wickets fall, only 5 wickets fell on Day 3 with India dominating proceedings with the bat. The hosts have also done well to keep chipping away with wickets on what looked like a belter of a trach to bat on but it did start to turn in that final session and the two Indian spinners will be looking to wreak havoc early on Day 4.
Day 3 was abruptly adjourned a bit early due to bad light with almost 10 overs still remaining in the day and Bangladesh ended the day 158/4, still needing a mammoth 357 runs for the win. The visitors began their run chase solidly but soon enough things started to fall off with just their skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto standing tall with an unbeaten half century to his name.
Hello and welcome to Day 4 of the first Test between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. With how the game has panned out so far, this could very well be the final day of play.
... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...
Right then, after a brief challenge by the Bangladesh openers, India have bounced back very strongly and asserted its dominance in this Test match. With 6 wickets remaining, India, stepping into Day 4, will aim to wrap things up as quickly as possible. With spin doing its trick now, Bangladesh, on the other hand, will now have to face the threatening tandem of Ashwin and Jadeja on the next day. And it is probably writing on the wall about the inevitable. But as Bangladesh need 357 more runs to win, India too, will have to snag those 6 wickets to officially register a victory. Day 4 begins at 4 am GMT, on Sunday, 22nd September. Till then, cheers!
Ashwin masterfully exploited the pitch conditions. His efforts paid off handsomely as he claimed three wickets in rapid succession, which pretty much opened the game and decisively swung the match in India's favour. To compound Bangladesh's struggles, the Indian fielders exhibited remarkable agility and precision graced by two sensational catches to dismiss Zakir and Mushfiqur - one screamer by Jaiswal at gully and one by KL Rahul at mid on respectively.
As the final session began, India ramped up their efforts to break the deadlock. It was the ever-reliable Bumrah who provided the crucial breakthrough, living up to his reputation as a game-changer. The pitch, now showing signs of wear and tear, began offering variable bounce and subtle but perceptible turn. Rohit, sensing an opportunity, shrewdly brought his spin bowlers into play in tandem. This tactical move was designed to intensify the pressure on the Bangladesh batters.
But things took an absolute turn from there, as Bangladesh found themselves in a precarious position. They were forced to rebuild from scratch after losing four big wickets in rapid succession with their top order blown away in a flash. What had started as a promising 86 for 1 quickly deteriorated to 146 for 4, leaving them facing a daunting challenge and a steep hill to climb with 6 wickets remaining. Najmul Hossain Shanto is fighting a lone battle being unbeaten on 51 and with Shakib partnering him and Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan yet to bat, Bangladesh would aim to construct a long partnership the next day as two whole days still remain in this game. But the question is, how long can the Bangladesh batters sustain?
STUMPS, DAY 3, SESSION SUMMARY - 24.2 Overs, 102 Runs, 4 Wickets - Well, since the day's play has been called off, let us recap what happened in the final session. Bangladesh's opening pair started with a determined display, making it clear they weren't there to be easily dismissed. Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan put up a spirited challenge against the Indian bowlers, maintaining a steady scoring rate and a brisk partnership of 62. However, their momentum was disrupted when both openers fell within a short span, about half an hour into the session. Despite this setback, Bangladesh continued to score at a decent pace trying to counterpunch.
UPDATE - 10.54 am GMT - And unfortunately, folks, we do not have good news! The play has officially been called off on Day 3 with 9.4 overs remaining. The bails have been removed now and the umpires are walking back off the field. Probably they are worried about that threateningly dark cloud hovering overhead which might bring some thunder and showers. Well, the ground staff knows the weather much better here. We may not like it, but it is the correct decision to not continue as the artificial light has taken over natural light as well.
Even more worrying signs regarding the state of play now as the ground staff are bringing the covers on. There is one big dark cloud that is coming in and the umpires are still out in the middle having a discussion. With the amount of time still left in the game, it would be safe to say that this is it for Day 3.
Hold on, folks! The conditions have become murky in the last few minutes and now, the umpires are having a serious chat about things. For now, the light meter is brought out and they might go off as well. Rohit Sharma is asking whether he can continue with spin and Mohammed Siraj is seen giving the ball a twirl, probably for the first time in his life. The umpires have decided to take the players off the field and this might just be the end of the day's play. The big question is if the spinners had continued, would the play have been called off now? Or would they have waited?

Drinks break! Just 10 overs left in the day now and India have done extremely well to pick up four wickets in the final session. Bangladesh have looked with the bat but just haven't managed to stick around on the crease for long. Najmul Hossain Shanto has made a fighting half-century and he will know that he needs a big ton to salvage something from this game. India on the other hand will look for a couple of more wickets before Day 3 ends. Also, Mohammed Siraj is brought back into the attack as the natural light starts to fade away. The umpires are having a look and we might see the light meter soon.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Mushfiqur Rahim OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Rahim falls. Ashwin has another one now. This is tossed up on off. Rahim looks to go over mid on but this one turns back in just a little and he fails to keep it along the ground, ending up hitting it off the inner half of the bat, just above the ground and flat towards mid on. Rahul dives forward, maintains his fingers under the ball and takes it inches above the ground. They check upstairs to see if it is a clean catch and it is deemed that Rahul did extremely well to do so. Mushfiqur Rahim departs without making much of an impact and suddenly, a procession of wickets for Bangladesh as the spin is doing the trick now. India, right on top.
Is that a clean catch? The Indians are claiming it but the umpires have gone upstairs. The replays roll in and it seems KL Rahul has caught it cleanly. The third umpire checks it from a few different angles and the fingers are under the ball. The decision is made and it is OUT!

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Ashwin strikes and gets another man, his second wicket! Number three down! Tosses it up on the middle and off channel. This lands and turns away a little off the deck. Haque is drawn forward to defend but he plays inside the line of the ball anticipating it to stay straight. Instead, the ball turns enough to beat the outside edge and hit the off pole. Lovely delivery and India further press their opponents in this game. Mominul Haque, who looked a bit rusty for most of his innings departs on 13. Ashwin's joy knows no bounds and Chepauk again roars in cheers as the local boy strikes. Bangladesh now 124/3.

Ashwin bowls it flat and quick on a length, in front of the pegs, Shadman Islam gets across a tad and lazily tries to nudge it away to the leg side, but in this process, he airs it flat and towards Shubman Gill stationed at short mid-wicket. Gill reacts alertly and moves his body low and to the right, and takes a very sharp catch, just inches above the ground. He falls over but manages well to sustain the ball in his hand. A soft dismissal for Shadman Islam as he departs on 35. Also, this is Ravichandran Ashwin's first wicket in this Test.

Good running between the wickets, again! But equally well fielded by Jadeja! Across off on a good length, Shadman gets on the bounce and cuts it through the gap between gully and backward point. Jadeja from point gives it a chase towards the boundary and just about manages it to pull it back before the ropes. He overruns into the fence but makes sure to flick the ball into the playing area. Two taken.

Jasprit Bumrah To Zakir Hasan OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! WOW, WHAT A CATCH FROM JAISWAL! He has taken an absolute screamer and finally, India get the first breakthrough. A hard-earned one but Bumrah does the trick. Jasprit Bumrah spears it on the back of a length, and keeps the line outside the off side, it gets a bit of an extra bounce and skids on quickly after pitching. Zakir Hasan gets hurried on the shot and the ball gets heavier on him as well. As a result, he doesn't move his feet and hangs his bat away from his body, and a healthy outside edge is found. The ball carries flat and low in the air towards the right of gully where Yashasvi Jaiswal quickly reacts to it, dives to his wrong side to his right and plucks it out of thin air. And suddenly, the crowd has found its voice in Chennai.

We are back for the final session on Day 3! It is still a bit overcast and that hasn't had any effect on the pitch as there hasn't been much or rather any movement on offer. Out come the two umpires and the players of India with still 34 overs to be bowled in the day. The duo of Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam are all set to resume their stay at the crease. It will be Ravichandran Ashwin to begin proceedings with the ball post Tea. Let's go...
... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...
Right then, what a contrast for Bangladesh with the bat from the first innings! The duo of Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan have remained positive and made full use of the batting-friendly conditions. They still have it all to do in the final session as well but this will give them a glimmer of hope. Join us at 9 am GMT for the post-Tea session on Day 3.
The second session on Day 3 began with the Indian batters firing on all cylinders and we saw a couple of batters going on to reach their centuries. India eventually declared midway through the session and set Bangladesh a target of 515 big runs. However, the duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj couldn't extract much from the surface and were easily dealt with. It was Ravichandran Ashwin who planted a seed of doubt with his off-spin before Akash Deep bowls some tight lines and beat the bat on a few occasions.
Another session of Test cricket has flown by and it seems like Bangladesh have finally turned up with the bat. India still well and truly in command but Bangladesh will be very pleased to head into the break with all 10 wickets intact and they have also managed to score at a decent rate.

A slight delay in proceedings here as Shadman Islam seems to be struggling with cramps. The physio is out to have a look and stretches the hamstring a bit before Shadman is back on his feet. Just a couple of overs left before Tea it seems and the batters trying to slow things down.
