It looked like India's day, but Bangladesh fought back strongly to finish the day with an 89-run deficit. Despite losing a flurry of wickets early on and finding themselves at 13-4, they rallied through Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim, whose counter-attacking partnership steadied the ship for the visitors. Mushfiqur ended the day unbeaten at 59 and will have to keep up his resilience on Sunday. Ishant Sharma finished the day with four wickets - nine in the match- while Umesh claimed two. Earlier in the day, Virat Kohli scored yet another century - his 70th international ton - and Ajinkya Rahane notched his fourth consecutive 50-plus score as India declared with a 241-run lead.
