IND vs BAN 1st Test Live updates: India finishes the first day on positive note

The Men in Blue looked to have been in deep trouble at one stage when they got restricted to 144/6. However, the 195-run partnership between Jadeja and Ashwin saw India finish the day on a high at 339/6 after 80 overs. Ashwin is playing on 102 while Jadeja is playing on 86.

The veteran Indian all-rounder first steadied the Indian innings with Ravindra Jadeja and then went on to score an amazing ton to power India over the 300-run mark just before the end of day’s play. The 200-run partnership between the pair may also come up before the end of day’s play.

A massive six from Ashwin takes the Men in Blue over the 300-run mark in the 73rd over. It also brings up the 150-run partnership between the duo of Ashwin and Jadeja. The former is playing on 88 while the latter is playing on 65.

The Indian all-rounder reaches his half-century after facing 73 deliveries. He has so far scored 5 boundaries and a six in his knock. India now 272/6 after 67.1 overs.

Jadeja and Ashwin have done an excellent job against the Bangladesh bowlers and have brought up their 100-run stand. Ashwin has taken the role of the aggressor, scoring 54 runs in 61 balls.

Veteran player Ravichandran Ashwin becomes the second batter after Jaiswal to score a half-century in the Indian innings. Thanks to his impressive stand with Jadeja, India is now close to crossing the 250-run mark.

The partnership between Ashwin and Jadeja has already reached the 64-run mark and has now taken India to 208/6 after 53 overs.

The Indian all-rounder was given leg-before-wicket by the umpire on a delivery by Mahmud, however the former took the review which saved him as snicko showed a that the ball had clearly hit the bat before hitting the pad. Thus, the umpire had to reverse his decision.

The Bangladeshi players are doing a team huddle as the Indian batters come to the pitch. The final session of the day has started.

Another slow moving session. India lost 3 wickets in this one. The run rate had been slow due to Bangladesh sending out disciplined balls. It is going to be a long last session as only 48 overs have been bowled yet.

With Ashwin and Jadeja making skillful shots and scoring slowly, India finished 48 overs with 176 runs.

After 45 overs of game, India is currently sitting at 165 runs for 6 wickets.

It is now up to the experienced duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin to take the Indian innings forward. They will have to play sensibly otherwise Bangladesh may even bowl out the hosts on the very first day itself.

Bangladesh pick up second wicket in 5 balls to now restrict India to 144/6. This time it is KL Rahuld who heads back to the dugout after scoring 16 runs. Mehidy Hasan gets his first wicket of the day.

Nahid Rana gets the massive wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal for 56. The Indian batter scored 9 boundaries in his knock. India now 144/5 after 41.4 overs.

The left-handed opening batter reached his half-cenury after facing 95 deliveries. He has so far scored 8 boundaries and now will be looking to form a big stand with KL Rahul. India now 132/4 after 35 overs.

The wicketkeeper-batter becomes the fourth Indian player to succumb to Hasan Mahmud on the first day. Pant departs after playing a decent knock of 39 runs. India now 96/4 after 25.3 overs.

After lunch, players from both sides are now back on the field for the second session of the day. It will be Mahmud who will bowl to Jaiswal to get the session underway.

Both the teams head back to the dugouts for lunch. The duo of Jaiswal and Pant have massively helped in steadying India’s ship after the early top-order collapse with their 54-run partnership. The Men in Blue finish the session on 88/3 after 23 overs.

The left-handed duo have so far done well against the Bangladesh pacers and have formed a decent stand of 33 runs. India now at 67/3 after 18 overs.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant marks his return to red-ball cricket after 629 days, however straight away he has a tough task to do and steady the currently reeling Indian innings.

Hasan Mahmud has completely taken the first session of the first Test by storm and has now also taken the wicket of Virat Kohli for only 6 runs. India now 34/3 after 9.2 overs.

The star India batter Virat Kohli has walked in to bat to replace Gill who just departed after scoring no runs.

Another big wicket falls for India as Hasan Mahmud dismisses Gill for a duck. The batter ends up giving an easy catch to wicketkeeper Litton Das. India now 28/2 after 7.3 overs.

Shubman Gill has stepped out to bat after Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud got the big wicket of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in just the sixth over.

Its a huge blow for the Men in Blue as Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud takes the big wicket of Rohit Sharma for only 6 runs. Bangladesh skipper Najmul Shanto takes an easy catch in the slips. India now 14/1 after 5.1 overs.

The opening pair of Rohit and Jaiswal have so far found it hard to score runs off the Bangladesh pace duo of Taskin and Mahmud as they are bowling some absolute peach of deliveries.

The Bangladesh team appeals for a leg-before wicket on Rohit, however the umpire doesn’t give it as out. Bangladesh’s review also goes unsuccessful as the Indian captain somehow survives.

The opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma have stepped out on the pitch to bat and Bangladesh will begin the innings with pacer Taskin Ahmed.

Both the Indian and Bangladesh team players are currently on the field as the national anthems of both the countries are set to be played.
