- 11:27 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Shanto's resilienceNajmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan were fantastic in the first hour.

- 11:25 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Ashwin's final figuresAshwin ends with 6/88, while Jadeja finishes with 3/58 in the second innings, to add to his two wickets from the first innings. Bangladesh bowled out for 149 in the first innings, and 234 in the second. It was never a contest.
- 11:22 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Ashwin the heroAshwin was the hero of the first innings and the hero of the last. 113 with the bat, and now 6 wickets with the ball. Shakib and Shanto did so well to play out the first hour, but crumbled the moment R Ashwin came into the attack.
- 11:03 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: 5-FER FOR R ASHWIN!So much for Najmul Hossain Shanto's hard work, wickets keep tumbling at the other end. Rash shot by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Looks to go big and gives a simple catch to long-on. It's five wickets in the second innings for R Ashwin. A dream Test match for him.
- 11:01 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Shanto's new methodBangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has timed his sweeps very well, and is now scoring runs using reverse sweeps at regular intervals against spin. That is turning out to be his big weapon against Ashwin. Into the 80s now.
- 10:54 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Uphill battle nowAll the momentum that Bangladesh built in the first hour of the day has been undone in a flash. Ashwin sent Shakib back, Litton Das fell cheaply. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will need to play the innings of their life to pull off something here.
- 10:37 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: There he is: Ashwin!R Ashwin strikes in his first over! Shakib Al Hasan's staunch defence comes to an end. He tries to block and edges it to forward short leg, where Yashasvi Jaiswal takes a brilliant diving catch. Cometh the hour, cometh R Ashwin to India's rescue. Shakib departs for a hard-fought 25.
- 10:17 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Pace-spin comboRohit Sharma is mixing things up. He has deployed Siraj from one end and Jadeja from the other. Siraj continues to threaten, with bouncers and outswingers, but Bangladesh are surviving. Sensible cricket so far in Day 4 from Shanto and Shakib.
- 10:09 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Shanto's first four of the dayAfter scoring just 1 run off his first 20 balls of the day, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto opens his arms and pulls Siraj's short ball away towards fine leg for four. Bangladesh slow, but steady so far in Day 4.
- 09:36 (IST)India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 4 Live: Shakib's balance helpShakib Al Hasan has tied a string to his shirt, which he bites on to, in order to not let his head fall over and help it keep straight as he faces the ball. It's a crucial hack found by the veteran Bangladesh all-rounder to help him maintain balance as he bats.
