Bangladesh runaway the frying pan with four quick wickets to bowl India out early on the second morning, but jumped straight into the fire of the insistent Indian bowling attack, getting bowled out in just 47.1 overs. India chose to bat on despite a lead of 227, and led by 308 with seven second-innings wickets in hand by stumps on day two.
Although India bowled in considerably less helpful conditions than day one, there was no respite for the Bangladesh batters. Jasprit Bumrah , Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj took eight between them when there was support for the pacers, while Ravindra Jadeja broke Bangladesh’s biggest partnership when conditions eased off.
The day started on a positive note for Bangladesh. Taskin Ahmed used the second new ball much better than the first for three wickets, Hasan Mahmud completed Bangladesh’s first five-for in India, and they let India add only 37 to their overnight score. Though, a quick reminder followed that their bowlers had dedicated too many errors on day one already. India’s fast bowlers were on the money immediately, bowling testing spell after testing spell, drawing an error once every three balls to reduce Bangladesh to 40 for 5.
Bumrah began over the wicket to the left-hand openers, moving the ball away reliably, but went around for the last ball of the first over. Shadman Islam left him, perhaps because all the previous five balls had moved away, but this one seamed back in to hit the top of off. Zakir Hasan survived an lbw call that both the umpire and the India captain underestimated, but deep proved to be too good for him and Mominul Haque.
The first over from Deep, directly around the wicket, wasn’t the greatest, but in his second he got the ball to seam in from a good length just outside off. Zakir was beaten completely while Mominul managed to get his pad in line only for the ball to ricochet into the wicket. He would have been lbw anyhow. Mushfiqur Rahim edged the hat-trick ball towards gully but it fell short.
Post lunch, India went back to their top two bowlers, who had only bowled short spells earlier the interval. Siraj, who had lost out on Zakir’s wicket earlier, was the most accurate of the three. Najmul Hossain tried to walk at him to counter the movement, but still managed to only edge to second slip as a wobble-seam ball seamed away from him.
