Vaughan, who has been critical of Indian pitches in the past, once again took to Twitter to express his opinion and his post read: “This Test Match pitch in India is a belter .... #Justsaying #INDvBAN.” 

Earlier, Vaughan had branded the pitch as boring during India’s second Test against South Africa at Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. “Test match cricket pitches in India are boring...The first 3/4 days the contest is far too in favour of the bat...needs more action for the bowler...My thought of the day ...,” Vaughan had tweeted.  

Pacemen Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma struck early to remove the openers as Bangladesh reached 63 for three at lunch. Both Umesh and Ishant bowled at a lively pace on a green Indore wicket after India were made to field first at the start of the two-match series. Skipper Mominul Haque, on 22, and Mushfiqur Rahim, on 14, were batting at the break.

It could have been worse for Bangladesh had India not been sloppy in the field. Ajinkya Rahane dropped Mominul at slip when he had made only three and Mushfiqur survived when skipper Virat Kohli spilled a catch at third slip.
