Bangladesh scored 33 runs and lost the wicket of skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) in the nine overs that could be bowled after lunch before the players walked off due to bad light.
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.
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.
