IND vs BAN: Ishant Sharma picked four wickets in Bangladesh's 2nd innings.© AFP
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.

Thank you for joining us!
It has been an entertaining day of Test cricket. Kohli and Rahane dominated the first session, with the former reaching his century. Then Bangladesh cleaned up the tail. And then India cleaned up Bangladesh's top order before Mushfiqur put up a resilient fight.
Join us tomorrow for more twists and turns in this historic Test match. Thank you and goodnight!

Will Mahmudullah return?
After the 50-run stand between Mushfiqur and Mehidy comes to an end, we will have to wait and see if Mahmudullah comes back to resume his partnership with the Mushfiqur or if it will be a new batsman

November 23 2019 19:19 (IST)
Mahmudullah has retired hurt
