Iyer, Pujara steady India after early wobble

An unbeaten 62-run organization between Cheteshwar Pujara (42*) and Shreyas Iyer (41*) kept Bangladesh under control as India went to Tea at 174/4 on the first day of the season of the Chattogram Test.

Pujara found a hobby second ball after Lunch however Bangladesh and Mehidy Hasan Miraz figured out how to land a urgent blow not long after with the large wicket of Rishabh Gasp. The Indian wicketkeeper proceeded with his counter-going after ways and, surprisingly, clubbed a full throw from the offie into profound midwicket stands. The spinner, however, made areas of strength for a the extremely next ball with Gasp base edging one onto his stumps to miss the mark concerning a fifty.

Iyer had a brazen beginning - getting an edge first ball that, fortunately for him, flew wide of slip and into the ropes - however once settled, he didn't avoid going after the spinners to keep the odd limits coming. He also got a relief on 30, however not at all like the opportunity off Pujara, this was an intense take for the guardian behind the stumps.

While the pitch offered more than adequate nibble for the spinners, Pujara remained unshakable at the opposite end, assuming a supporting role. India added just 89 rushes to their count in the meeting, however critically didn't allow Bangladesh to make further advances once they nipped the Gasp danger.

Prior, the hosts had figured out how to win the initial meeting of this Test series by taking out three of India's main four in a stack paving the way to Lunch in Chattogram.

On a batting-accommodating surface India had no wavering in picking to bat first. Substitute captain KL Rahul opened with Shubman Gill, making for India's fourth opening pair in the last six Tests, however the pair checked back out. Rahul flicked the third ball down to fine leg wall to set India in motion and limits came quiet for the two hitters for the majority of the primary hour. Bangladesh rang in a modest bunch of early changes until Taijul started with a lady - the first in quite a while starting from the morning.

The runs before long started to evaporate with Bangladesh amending their initial missteps and bowling more tight lines. Furthermore, that got wickets a bunch for the hosts. Gill fell endeavoring a planned oar clear against Taijul and strolled back furious with himself for having discarded a decent beginning. Similarly, Rahul also was disappointed with himself subsequent to hauling an inside edge onto his stumps off Khaled Ahmed, who attracted him with some width. Taijul then inspired one to turn strongly to stun Virat Kohli and trap him plumb in front. The previous India commander investigated after a long interview with the non-striker yet without any result. From a somewhat agreeable 41 without misfortune, India had slipped to 48 for 3 inside six overs.

Gasp left all weapons blasting, and in his ordinary style took on Bangladesh's best bowler of the morning with three limits and a six to pick a sum of 21 runs off him in about 16 conveyances - and drove India's fightback.
