India vs Bangladesh highlights, 1st Test Day 4: IND beats BAN by 280 runs to lead series 1-0

Dominating Test match for India. Even though the first hour of first day’s morning had Bangladesh in front but post that, it was all about different players chipping in impactful performances to get India to a strong position. First it was Ashwin and Jadeja, then it was Bumrah with the ball in first innings. Gill and Pant scored centuries in second innings before Ashwin once again led the charge with his six wickets for India to win the game by a margin of 280 runs. 

Jadeja picks the final wicket as he cleans up Hasan. India wins the first Test by 280 runs and leads the two-match series 1-0. 

Jadeja troubling the tailenders with some sharp turn. Hasan Mahmud did connect one of his slogs for four in the over though. 

Six wickets for Ashwin! Taskin goes for a slog and gives an easy catch for mid on to take. Just one wicket away from the win. 

Shanto is gone! He goes for a slog and ends up skying it. Bumrah comes underneath the ball and safely completes the catch. Bangladesh captain falls for a well-made 82. 

Ashwin to Shanto and yet another reverse sweep for four! The strategy is working at least in favour of Shanto. A ball later, he sweeps again but this time only gets a single. OUT! Mehidy Hasan goes for a slog and is caught at long on. Five wickets for Ashwin.

Mehidy Hasan isn’t shying away from playing his strokes as well. Length ball by Jadeja and he slashes hard, gets a top edge that goes just past the first slip for four. Once again, he tries to play the backfoot drive that falls short of the point fielder. 

OUT! Jadeja induces an outside edge off Litton Das’ bat and Bangladesh is now six down. Spun away from the right hander who was on the frontfoot to defend. Edges straight to first slip. Jadeja getting a sharp turn. Beautiful bowling this. 

Both Jadeja and Ashwin are bowling in tandem now and getting turn. Bangladesh batters are countering with plenty of attempted sweeps. Shanto also gets a half volley off Ashwin and hits the ball straight for four. Good contest this. 

Ashwin is introduced for the first time today right after drinks. And he strikes in his first over itself! Shakib goes on frontfoot, gets an edge and a good catch by short leg fielder. Good resistance by Shakib but he has to go after scoring 25 off 56 balls. 

Siraj has another go at Shanto. Now he’s gesturing the outside edge to Shanto and the slip cordon. Probably giving him a count of how many times he has gone past it this morning. 

A discussion between Pant, Rohit, Jadeja between the overs. Jaiswal was also part of the circle. Not sure what the discussion was about. 

Jadeja continues. Bangladesh’s strategy against spinners is to play sweep. 

Siraj continues to talk to Shanto. However, the Bangladesh captain is not responding. Is something interesting brewing up? After every ball Siraj is trying to talk to him. Shanto has now started to show his back to him. No engagement whatsoever by Shanto. 

Jadeja is back. Shakib straight up sweeps him towards midwicket. Good fielding in the deep to keep only for a single. Shanto though sweeps fine and gets a boundary off the next ball. 

Bouncer by Siraj and Shanto nicely pulls it towards fine leg for four! Good shot that and Siraj has a few words to appreciate it as well *wink wink*. Off the very next delivery, Siraj beats Shanto’s outside edge and says a few more words. Shanto hasn’t much to say though, only smile. 

Shakib finds the fence! Length ball and Shakib opens the face of the bat and punches the ball towards square for four. No real movement for pacers right now. 

Siraj is now coming around the wicket to further challenge the outside edge. Runs aren’t coming for Bangladesh 30 minutes into the day’s play. A bouncer to end the over that hits Shakib’s arm. 

Shakib is getting some treatment on his finger after he got hit on the glove in the previous over. Shakib plays a straight drive off Bumrah but a terrific fielding at mid off by Rohit Sharma stops a certain boundary. Quite a few plays and misses this morning. 

Siraj continues. Finally, Shakib gets a length ball that he can punch past cover fielder and find a boundary. Good shot that, very well in control. 

Just a solitary over for Jadeja as Rohit Sharma has brought Jasprit Bumrah into the attack. Sun is still not out over Chepauk. Just one run came in that over. 

Siraj is challenging the left-hander’s outside edge. His favourite angle to exploit and bowl to, especially in Tests. 

Ravindra Jadeja from the other end. He continues to target the rough patch outside the off stump. A few balls have taken a sharp turn from there. 

Siraj will be resuming his over from the last day. A maiden over to start with - and finish with. 

India needs six more wickets to seal victory. Bangladesh needs 357 runs to win. Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto are at the crease. 

Another morning where the sun’s arrival has been a touch delayed, but the humidity remains the same. Should be an interesting morning for the bowlers. 

India set Bangladesh a target 515 runs. This is the highest ever target for a chase in Tests at this venue.
