Umesh Yadav is down for a quick chat. Yadav says that a few of the balls were taking it off while some of the deliveries were seaming. Adds that there is something here for the fast bowlers and they just need to bowl in the right area. Ends by saying that there is grass but it is dead and that might be the reason for the spongy bounce.
Bangladesh opted to bat first and skipper Shakib Al Hasan mentioned that if they got through the first hour or so, they would be able to score big and they did just that, managing not to lose a wicket in the first hour but that didn’t matter. Almost everyone in the top 6 got off to a start but it was only the ex-skipper and the man who was making a comeback in this Test, Mominul Haque who was able to make valuable runs for his side. With the score 213/5, Mehidy Hasan started feeling uneasy.
A slight halt in play. Oh, wait the umpires have come together and decided that the light is insufficient and that will be Stumps on Day 1 just like that. So, India remained unscathed going into Day 2 and will be mightily pleased as to how the first day has panned out. They were asked to field first by Shakib Al Hasan and after facing stiff resistance from the Bangladesh openers for about 15 overs, the visitors did make inroads and throughout the first two sessions, they were able to pick up
Shakib Al Hasan to KL Rahul, This is similar to the last delivery, KL Rahul defends it back towards the bowler again.
Taskin Ahmed to KL Rahul, On a length and outside off with some extra bounce, Rahul looks to defend it but misses. Oh, its a no ball for overstepping.
Taskin Ahmed to Shubman Gill, NO BALL! Taskin hits the deck hard and bowls it at 138 clicks around off. Shubman Gill stays back and nudges it onto the off side. The bowler has overstepped and a no ball is called.
