After the remarkable opening day resilience from Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, fast bowlers came to the fore for Team India on Day 2 of the first Test match at Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium.

Here’s the timeline of how IND vs BAN panned out in Chennai:

IND vs BAN Highlights: Mahmud Completes Five, Taskin Cleans Up Indian Tail

Overnight batters Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, high on confidence after their rearguard attack from the opening day, failed to capitalize on their unbeaten scores the following morning. Their resilient 199-run partnership was halted by Taskin Ahmed within the first few minutes of play as the speedster deprived Jadeja of a well-deserved century at 86.

Ashwin also made his way back to the sheds after making 113 from 133 balls. Taskin Ahmed additionally dismissed Indian number nine Akash Deep to seal figures of 3-55. Hasan Mahmud completed his five-wicket haul by toppling Jasprit Bumrah to envelop the hosts at 376 in 91.2 overs.

IND vs BAN Highlights: Bumrah Spearheads Indian Fightback With Siraj

Bangladesh lost three of their top four batters before heading out for lunch while facing nine hostile overs from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. Bumrah delivered the early breakthrough by castling Shadman Islam in the first over of the innings.

Akash Deep levelled Zakir Hasan and Mominul Haque with searing pace in successive deliveries as Bangladesh crashed to 26-3 in nine overs.

Jasprit Bumrah continued to traumatize Bangladesh in the afternoon session, as Ravindra Jadeja (2-19) joined in on the action with the key wickets of Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan. Bumrah cleared Mushfiqur Rahim before mopping up the Bangladeshi tail to snare figures of 4-50 from 11 overs. Siraj added two to his tally, which included the prized-scalp of visiting captain Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh dusted out for 149 inside a session-and-a-half.

IND vs BAN Highlights: Shubman Gill Takes Indian Lead Past 300

Indian captain Rohit Sharma registered his second failure of the match by nicking one towards Zakir Hasan at third slip off Taskin Ahmed. A few overs later, Sharma’s young opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal had his scratchy innings ended by Nahid Rana.

With both openers back in the pavilion, Shubman Gill forged 39 runs with Virat Kohli (17) before the latter was trapped plumb in front by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, albeit under controversial circumstances. Regardless, Gill (33*) marched on with Rishabh Pant to stretch the Indian lead past the 300-run mark by stumps on Day 2.
