India vs Bangladesh LIVE, 1st Test Day 3: IND 119/3, leads BAN by 346 runs; Gill, Pant cross 50-run partnership

Change in bowling, Taskin is here. He bowled well yesterday. 

And now Shubman Gill joins the party! Charges Mehidy Hasan down the track and lofts him over midwicket for a SIX! Classic Gill shot. And again! Copy paste shot for same result. Two sixes to bring up his fifty in 79 balls. 

Short ball and Rishabh Pant pulls it towards midwicket. Cracking shot for four. Lead is growing. 

Looks like these are good conditions to bat at the moment. Runs are coming in easily with lack of lateral movement. Could be a long day for Bangladesh bowlers. 

And Rishabh Pant finally gets the opportunity to open his arms. Mehidy Hasan drops a touch short, and Pant pulls him towards midwicket for a four. Takes a quick single to keep the strike for the next over. 

Hasan Mahmud from the other end. Two singles came in that over as well. Not much movement so far off the pitch. 

Mehidy Hasan Miraz begins the proceedings. Rishabh Pant takes a single off the first ball and Shubman Gill gives the strike back two balls later. 

Players and umpires are out in the middle. There’s a good chance this game might end by the end of this day or latest by tomorrow. How long will India bat? We’ll find out soon. 

It rained last night in several parts of the city including around the M.A Chidambaram Stadium. It is still overcast but it’s still humid. 

- India gets bowled out inside the first session for 376. 

- Bumrah picks a four-wicket haul and is helped by fellow pacers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj to bowl out Bangladesh right after Tea for 149. 

- India takes a 227-run lead but decides to bat again. 

- Rohit, Jaiswal in quick succession. Kohli falls 10 mins before the Stumps. 

- Overnight score 81/3 with a lead of 308 runs. 

“I used to be critical, but not anymore. I have put a lot of pressure on myself, and people have put pressure on me.”
