India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test at Indore, Day 3, Latest Updates: Another big victory for India at home. It’s almost impossible to beat Virat Kohli and Co at home. And this Test match was another example why. In every department and in every session, the hosts dominated the Tigers. Bangladesh have been bowled out on 150 and 213 and when India got to bat they posted almost 400 runs with opener Mayank Agarwal scoring a double ton. Fielding remains only concern for India as they prepare for the historic pink-ball Test in Kolkata. For Bangladesh, they have a long list of area of concerns. Day 2 report: Mayank Agarwal scored a career-best 243 as India finished the second day of the first test against Bangladesh at 493-6 on Friday. Agarwal scored his second double hundred in four tests and beat his previous best of 215, set six weeks ago against South Africa. This was also Agarwal’s third test hundred, a milestone he crossed before tea on Friday. He scored 190 runs for the fourth wicket with Ajinkya Rahane (86). “Every time I get set, I make it a point to convert it to a big score,” Agarwal said. “Letting go of fear of failure has helped shape my mindset. “We (with Rahane) wanted to build a small partnership and then put pressure on Bangladesh by batting for a longer time. I got full value for my shots on this wicket.” India scored 407-5 in the second day’s play. It was their third-highest aggregate in a day of test cricket after 443-1 and 417-2, both against Sri Lanka. Agarwal’s innings included 28 fours and eight sixes. At the other end, Bangladesh was able to get Rahane to fall to Abu Jayed, caught at deep point. Jayed finished the day with 4-108. Agarwal then continued on to his double hundred off 303 deliveries while India crossed 400 in the 105th over. Agarwal and Ravindra Jadeja added 123 runs for the fifth wicket. Jadeja stroked his way to a 14th test half-century off 72 balls. Bangladesh finally got rid of the double-centurion, caught off Mehidy Hasan (1-125). India also lost Wriddhiman Saha (12) shortly after. Jadeja and Umesh Yadav (25 not out) then added a quick 39 off 19 balls as India extended its lead. Earlier in the day, Agarwal had scored his hundred off 183 balls. He was dropped on 32, and then survived again at 86 when an lbw decision was overturned on review. India lost Cheteshwar Pujara (54) and Virat Kohli (0) in a short span during the morning session. But Agarwal and Rahane resurrected the innings and extended India’s dominance. On the first day, Indian pacers shared seven wickets as Bangladesh was bowled out for 150 in its first innings.

Another home Test ends in a massive win for India! The match getting over inside three days shows how dominant hosts were over Bangladesh. Pacers once again ruled the roost, spinners were effective and when India got to bat, Mayank Agarwal wreaked havoc with a double ton while Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja made useful contributions. Bangladesh on the other hand had very little going their way. Veteran Mushfiqur Rahim fought hard and pacer Abu Jayed emerged as a find. They need to improve drastically to put up any challenge in the final match of the series which will be a day/night Test. India’s first pink/ball Test, in Kolkata. The focus now shifts to the second match.
It was a pleasure bringing you this match. We will see you for the second Test which begins on 22 November. Good bye.

OUT! INDIA WIN BY AN INNINGS AN 130 RUNS
Ebadat Hossain c U Yadav b Ashwin 1(3)
India’s run of victories continue. And they have registered a massive one here to go 1-0 up in the series. Ebadot went for a big shot on the flighted delivery but didn’t find the proper connect and Umesh took the catch after running back from mid on.
After 69 overs,Bangladesh 213/9 ( Abu Jayed 4 , Ebadot Hossain 1)
Ebadot Hossain and Abu Jayed fought very well with the ball as they lacked support from spinners but it will be interesting to see how long can they fight with the bat. Jayed got a boundary in the over with a drive down the ground. Five off the over.
After 68 overs,Bangladesh 208/9 ( Abu Jayed 0 , Ebadot Hossain 0)
Bangladesh’s fightback has been almost brought to an end as Ashwin dismisses Rahim. The batsman was feeling lonely and was looking to break free. Came down the track but Ashwin tossed it up and forced him to miscue his shot. Credit to Pujara for the catch though which was a great one after running back from mid off. Wicket-maiden for Ashwin.
OUT! Rahim c Pujara b Ashwin 64(150)
What a catch by Pujara to remove Rahim. Pujara took the catch running back from mid off and was always in control of it. Didn’t have to jump or dive. Meanwhile, the fight from Bangladesh has almost come to an end with Rahim’s wicket. He wanted to go big, came down but miscued the shot.
After 67 overs,Bangladesh 208/8 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 64 , Abu Jayed 0)
Shami has broken the partnership with a bouncer. It was only a matter of time as they were not showing any intent. The ball rose up sharply and caught Taijul in his crease. He took his eyes off and put his bat forward to block the ball which hit the top part of bat and went up to Saha. New batsman Abu Jayed also edged one quickly after coming in but Jadeja failed to hold onto it. It was tough chance tough. Wicket-maiden for Shami.
OUT! Taijul Islam c W Saha b Shami 6(43)
Short ball does the job for Shami. India now just two wickets away. The delivery had a sharp kickup and Taijul got into a tangle, got caught at crease and ball hit the top part of bat and went up as Saha took the catch.
After 66 overs,Bangladesh 208/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 64 , Taijul Islam 6)
After a single, Bangladesh now collect four runs from Ashwin’s over. Rahim got the boundary with a well executed cut shot as he made Ashwin pay for the quicker delivery.
After 65 overs,Bangladesh 204/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 60 , Taijul Islam 6)
The run of five consecutive maiden overs is over thanks to Rahim who jammed the outside off to point for single. The partnership is 10 from 61 balls.
After 64 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
India could have had a wicket but umpire Erasmus was not interested. The arm-ball hit the pads of Taijul and was taken by Rohit at slip off Ashwin. India appealed strongly but got nothing. Replays showed there was an edge which hit the pads and lobbed up. Remember India had wasted their both reviews in the first session. Maiden over for Ashwin.
After 63 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
The run of maiden over continues. This time one more for Shami. Bangladesh players have kind of gone into a shell which we know is not a great thing as last two partnerships showed, positive cricket is the best way to fightback.
After 62 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
Ashwin continues. Third consecutive maiden over for India. Taijul tried playing some cut shots to break the shackle but the line didn’t give him the freedom.
After 61 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
Shami called back into attack in place of Umesh. Quick changes for India in anticipation of wickets. Maiden over for the pace bowler. India trying to build pressing by drying up runs.
After 60 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
So Ashwin now replaces Jadeja from this end. He’s bowling with two slip fielders and forward short leg and starts off with a maiden.
After 59 overs,Bangladesh 203/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 59 , Taijul Islam 6)
Umesh continues. Six from the over where Indians were involved in a half-an-appeal for lbw. The ball jagged back in from length, opened up Taijul but it was going over. And edge and four for Taijul as well.
After 58 overs,Bangladesh 197/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 58 , Taijul Islam 1)
Rahim works the tossed up ball from Jadeja to backward square on leg for a single followed by five dot deliveries to Taijul Islam.
After 57 overs,Bangladesh 196/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 57 , Taijul Islam 1)
Two balls to Taijul from over the wicket and then Umesh switches over to round the wicket but the tailender does well to safely play out the over. Maiden over.
After 56 overs,Bangladesh 196/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 57 , Taijul Islam 1)
Jadeja has been trusted to take the wickets from the other end. He’s bowling with a slip, leg slip and forward short leg. A single each in the over for Rahim and Taijul.
After 55 overs,Bangladesh 194/7 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 56 , Taijul Islam 0)
India have made the perfect start to the session, thanks to Umesh Yadav who strikes immediately after Tea. Mehidy is disappointed for playing the ball onto the stumps but it was the movement back into the batsman that Umesh got from back of the length which surprised Mehidy and got India the wicket. Taijul Islam now joins Rahim in the middle. Three from the over.
GONE! Mehidy Hasan b U Yadav 38(55)
The stubborn partnership is broken and Umesh Yadav is the architect. Mehidy departs for 38. A nip backer from back of length surprised Mehidy as he tried to get away from the line of the ball but it hit his back elbow and crashed onto the stumps.
After 54 overs,Bangladesh 191/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 53 , Mehidy Hasan 38)
Tea, Day 3
Shami bowls the final over of the session Mehidy Hasan works one through the midwicket for a boundary before gliding it behind backward point for a couple to end the session. Six runs from the over. The parnership is worth 56 runs and Bangladesh have managed to show some grit, having lost two wickets they added 131 runs in passage of play.
However, Bangladesh still trail by 152 runs.
After 53 overs,Bangladesh 185/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 53 , Mehidy Hasan 32)
Umesh Yadav continues. Couple of singles off the last two balls off the over, the second single raises the 50-run stand between Mehidy and Rahim. One more over before Tea interval
After 52 overs,Bangladesh 183/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 52 , Mehidy Hasan 31)
Shami returns to the attack. Shami asks Kohli for a man at forward short leg and then bowls a wide delivery that is slapped to cover fence for a boundary by Mehidy Hasan who moves into the 30s.
