Bengal, thanks to centuries by Sudip Chatterjee avd Koushik Ghosh, had amassed 529 in the first innings. Dinda's seven-wicket haul then reduced Chhattisgarh to 110 in its first innings.

Following on, Abhimanyu Chauhan (115) and Ashutosh Singh's (71) 172-run stand for the second wicket gave Chhattisgarh hopes of saving the match. But once Shami broke the partnership, the rest of the batters got out for cheap scores.
