Wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim mustered his 20th Test half-century and helped his side to go past 150 runs. Earlier in the day, Bangladesh were asked to bat for the second time in the match as the hosts declared on their overnight score of 493 runs. Trailing by 343 runs, the visitors again made a dismal start with the bat as their to-order was dismantled by the Indian pacers and they lost four wickets in the morning session. After lunch, however, they tried to make a comeback but still lost their two batsmen and the home side need mere four wickets to take an unassailable 1-0 lead in the series.

However, the opponents will play for pride and will put their guards down easily. However, the ask is for a lot and they don’t seem to be bouncing back in the match.
