Draw imminent after added rain-hit day




Yet another downpour hit day - not even a full session's play was conceivable - sent the coincidental Test in the middle of Bangladeshand India on its way to a draw. In the 30.1 overs possible, Bangladesh's top request mounted a determined reaction for the greater part of the morning session, however Harbhajan Singh and R Ashwin struck one after another - 15 minutes Before to lunch to give Bangladesh a few restless minutes. On the other hand, the climate mediated 10 minutes prior to the planned lunch to not permit any further play.

Knowing they wouldn't likely need to bat too long in the Test, Bangladesh turned out batting decidedly to keep India under control.Imrul Kayes scored a speedy half-century, Tamim Iqbal went historical HabibulBashar as the most astounding run-getter for Bangladesh, and Mominul Haque destabilized to corresponding AB de Villiers' record of half-hundreds of years in 12 continuous Tests.

1 Number of past occurrences where Tamim has been rejected confused in a Test match - off Mohammad Hafeez in Khulna in April 2015. R Ashwin had him perplexed in this 1st innings of this Test.

Playing three seamers, India opened with Ishant Sharma and RAshwin, focusing on the left-hand best three of Bangladesh. The way Tamim Iqbal ongoing to plant his front foot down against Ishant and play without inconvenience, you knew the quicks would require the ball to switch to be viable. Ashwin played well, however the batsmen - with not all that much to lose - assaulted him as well. Before long, however, in his 3rd over, Ashwin got one to drop and beat the outside edge of Tamim for Wriddhiman Saha to enroll his first befuddling in Tests.

The scoring didn't subside as Kayes stroked his way to a third half-century. Umesh Yadav harried him and Mominul with a touch of pace however delighted in little good fortune, with thick edges flying for fours. Making his arrival to the Test side, Harbhajan was not getting it done, and Bangladesh moved along happily until Harbhajan discovered some mood and was joined by Ashwin towards the end of the first session. Bangladesh had dashed along to 99 for 1 in 23 overs when the two spinners met up. They now tied the left-hand batsman down, drawing considerable turn and removing the free conveyances. Four runs fell off the following four overs, which incited a few dangers.


Kayes initially skipped down to Harbhajan yet escaped with truly a thick edge that flew over spread. Two balls later Mominul was not all that fortunate: he skied this moderate loopy offbreak to give Harbhajan simply remunerate for some enhanced rocking the bowling alley towards the end of the session. Promptly Ashwin tore in a brisk offbreak to the new batsman MushfiqurRahim, who was gotten bat-cushion at in reverse short leg. As Bangladesh's best player, Shakib Al Hasan, exited so did overwhelming mists and a gigantic storm. The players went off for awful light, however rain arrived before long.
