Day 2 preview: India will look to strengthen their case in the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur, when Day 2 gets underway on Friday.
Bangladesh had won the toss on the opening day on Thursday and opted to bat.
However, barring a gritty knock of 84 from Mominul Haque, nothing much went according to the hosts’ plan as they were bowled out for 227, and that too from being 213/5 at one stage.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (24), Litton Das (25) and Mushfiqur Rahim (26) all got starts, but just could not capitalise on it. Even skipper Shakib Al Hasan fell for a low score of 16.
Jaydev Unadkat, playing his first Test for India in 12 years, finished with figures of 2/50, while Umesh Yadav and R Ashwin scalped four wickets each.
At stumps on Thursday, India were 19/0, with stand-in skipper KL Rahul (3*) and Shubman Gill (14*) unbeaten. The trail the hosts by 208 runs going into day two.
India are currently leading the two-match series, after a comprehensive 188-run win in the first Test in Chattogram last week.
