India vs Bangladesh Highlights 1st Test Day 3: Pujara, Gill's tons keep India in driver's seat in Chattogram tie

A boundary from Pujara against Mehidy took India's lead past 350. The highest fourth innings total in Chattogram is 395/7, scored by West Indies in 2021, which was a winning total.

Decides to take on the shorter one from Khaled and pulls it over mid-wicket for a six. SUPERB EFFORT! He wants to race away to his century. 

IND 90/1, lead by 344 runs

Takes a single and he gets to his 5th Test fifty in 23 innings and first in 2022. Can he now convert to his maiden hundred? With Rohit Sharma out, this will be a massive opportunity for the youngster.  

IND 77/1, lead by 331 runs

An aggressive four against Mehidy through the mid-wicket, puts Gill two runs short of his first half-century this year. The boundary came after he twice survived lbw scares.

Short ball, down the leg side and Rahul went for pull shot, but landed safely into the hands of Taijul at deep mid-wicket. He goes back for 23. 

IND 70/1, lead by 324 runs

Ebadot has walked off the field now although it is yet to known the reason behind his move. Bangladesh are a bowler short. 

IND 60/0, lead by 323 runs

Another boundary from Gill. Glides the leg side delivery from Khaled for a boundary towards fine leg. In the next ball, he punched the shorter one through point for a four. Played that late, right under his eyes. 50-run partnership as well for the pair.

Goes for the sweep shot against Taijul as Gill gets a boundary down the backward square leg region. Lead goes past 300 now for India.

That was a risky one from Gill! Could have left alone, but chased that wider one from Khaled and got it past the fielder at second slip for a four. 

IND 44/0, lead by 298 runs 

Gill takes strike. KL Rahul stands at the other end. Taijul Islam begins the proceedings for Bangladesh after lunch. Can the hosts make a breakthrough?

IND 36/0, lead by 290 runs

Easy picking there for Rahul! Outside off and Rahul opens the face of the bat to drift it through the vacant point region. First boundary for India after 80 deliveries. Rahul gets another in the same over. Half volley outside off side, Rahul rocks back and punches it through the off side. 

IND 36/0, lead by 290 runs at LUNCH

After six overs of Khaled Ahmed, Mehidy joins Taijul into the attack. It's spin time from Bangladesh, and they have been keeping things tight so far. Maiden to start with!

IND 28/0, lead by 282 runs

The openers have added nine runs in the last 30 balls. India are 20/0 with a lead of 274 runs now in Chattogram

Taijul strikes and Gill is OUT. Umpires sides with the appeal from Bangladesh. Gill stands there in disbelief before opting for a review. No bat involved…wait, WICKETS MISSING! Gill survives. That was very very close and Rahul was correct is going for the review.

Punched through the covers! It was a fuller delivery from Khaled and outside off and Rahul leaned forward to power it through the gap.

IND 4/0, lead by 258 runs

KL Rahul and Shubman Gill make their way out to the middle. Khaled Ahmed kicks off the proceedings for Bangladesh

Mehidy is the final batter to be dismissed. Outfoxed by Axar, fails to make contact and Pant dislodges the bails. STUMPED! All eyes on KL Rahul…well he is running towards the pavilion. No follow-on then it means from India. 

BAN 150 all-out, trail by 254 runs

Great from Bangladesh to quickly go for the review. The impact looked plumb and umpire had signalled it OUT as well. But DRS sided with the hosts. 

Axar into the attack. India have take a DRS review for a LBW in the second ball. The delivery on the off stump line, slightly straightens…well that's two yellows. NOT OUT and Khaled Ahmed survives.  

BAN 149/9, trail by 255 runs

Kuldeep angles it down to the leg side after seeing Mehidy step out, hoping for a stumping, but the ball well a tad too wide and well past the diving keeper for four leg byes.

BAN 149/9, trail by 255 runs

His 5 for 39* is presently the best figures by an Indian spinner in Bangladesh. He is also the third spinner to get a five-wicket haul in Bangladesh after R Ashwin, in 2015, and Sunil Joshi, in 2000.

BAN 145/9, trail by 259 runs

The first wicket falls for Bangladesh on Day 3. Ebadot Hossain falls for 17 as Kuldeep Yadav collects his third career five-wicket haul. He is also the first India bowler to achieve the feat in Chattogram

BAN 144/9, trail by 260 runs

He has so far looked very cautious against Kuldeep. But then decided to take on the ball delivered down to the off side. He shimmied down the track to smack it through extra cover for a boundary. 

BAN 142/8, trail by 262 runs

Fortunately got the edge against the outside off delivery from Siraj that raced past the slip cordon for a boundary. Ebadot has been pushed back deep into the crease with Siraj threatening that shot-pitched delivery.
