After the tourists lost three wickets in the opening session, Taskin Ahmed added to India’s woes claiming the prized scalp of Virat Kohli (24) soon after lunch.

But Pant (86 batting) and Iyer (58 batting) combined forces and dominated proceedings. The two have added 132 runs for the unfinished fifth wicket and the team now trails Bangladesh by just one run.

Brief Score: Bangladesh 1st Innings: 227 all out in 73.5 overs.

India 1st Innings: 226 for 4 in 61 overs (Rishabh Pant 86 batting, Shreyas Iyer 58 batting; Taijul Islam 3/55)
