"chennai-test"

With two more days still left in the game, it is now a chase in whether India, who are clearly in the driver's seat in the match, pick six wickets first or Bangladesh, who began the chase well, orchestrate the impossible by making the remaining 357 runs.

Duo exploits inability of Bangladesh bowlers to make the best out of a cool, damp morning with sensible shot-making

Shubman Gill (33 not out) and Rishabh Pant (12 not out) were at the crease when the stumps were drawn for the day.  

In reply to India's 376, Bangladesh could survive for just 47.1 overs and were shot out in the post-tea session, as they struggled big time against the home side's bowlers.

At lunch, skipper Joe Root was holding fort on 33 (90 balls, 3 fours) with England adding 63 runs in the first session.

England made a big statement with a more clinical show that that caught the Indians napping. Naturally, all eyes were on Virat Kohli’s men when the series began against the disciplined Joe Root’s team.

The teams will hit the nets from today three days before the match.
