India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Taskin started off with a yorker-ish delivery that thudded Jadeja on the pads. The bowler appealed but it was going down leg. Jadeja left the next two balls, the fourth hits the pad again but too high for LBW and the fifth is left. Jadeja finally plays the last ball, guides it to slips and so no runs.

India 339/6 in 81 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: It's Karthik and Kartik on the pitch report today and in short, they say the pitch is now wonderful to bat on.

On Day 1 there was so much swing on offer, there was enough seam movement on offer, there was enough spice to keep everybody interested. Weather - we are starting at 30, it's going to get hotter as the day progresses. With the heat, we saw what happened in the last session. It was very easy to bat on, runs came in a flurry. Today at the start, the new ball will be taken by the Bangladesh team and they'll make use of the conditions which is considerably different to last morning which had a lot more juice for the fast bowlers. If India get through the first half an hour, we can expect a big score from both these batters and probably the lower order can chip in as well. For the moment, Bangladesh have a massive task ahead of them because they need to make the new ball count. The spike marks are a bit more exaggerated. This pitch will not break up through the middle, you'll find work happening from the footmarks, it's going to be tougher for the batters coming in from the footmarks but through the middle it's going to be rock solid and good to bat on at least for the first three days. There is a little bit of moisture, lesser than yesterday morning. It should be a superb day for batting.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: At his beloved home ground, Ashwin currently has 331 runs and counting in five Test matches. He averages 55.16, which is higher than what Dilip Vengsarkar, Rahul Dravid and Mohammed Azharuddin managed in their careers at the ground. Moreover, despite this being only his fifth match, Ashwin's tally of Test centuries at the Chepauk is now the same as those of Gundappa Viswanath (10 Tests), Kapil Dev (11 Tests) and Virender Sehwag (6 Tests).

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Well, the players are out there warming up. India is surely set to bowl towards the end of the first session or at the start of the second session today. In fact, if Bangladesh cannot get them all out within the first half-hour of the day, it will be safe to say that they can kiss goodbye any slender chances they had of getting anything in this Test.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: India were tottering at 34/3 when Virat Kohli fell and that is when Jaiswal was joined by Rishabh Pant, playing his first match in nearly 700 days. Together the pair not only ensured that India did not lose any more wickets in the first session but also started taking thr attack to the opposition towards the end of it. The stand ended when Pant fell due to a rather careless waft outside off stump early in the second session. The pair put up 62 runs off 99 balls for the fourth wicket.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Before Ashwin and Jadeja ran riot, India's most impressive batter on Day 1 was Yashasvi Jaiswal. He compiled 56 runs in 118 balls, getting a standing ovation when he got to his half-century and eventually fell to Nahid Rana. Unlike his more senior teammates, Jaiswal stayed put and saw himself through that difficult initial phase when the ball was doing a lot of talking.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: There was a lot of talk of this being very different for a Chennai pitch as there was a lot of purchase for pacers. However, Ravichandran Ashwin thinks different. "It's a typical, old-fashioned Chennai pitch where overspin will fetch a bit of bounce. The wicket will start doing its tricks much later in the game. There's enough in it for the quicks, good carry, good bounce if we present the seam nice and hard. The new ball will do a bit, there'll be some help for the bowlers, we'll have to start afresh tomorrow. There's a bit in the pitch, it's still damp underneath, so hopefully as it dries out, it quickens up," he said.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Najmul Hossain Shanto had won the toss and chosen to field first.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Do you, like Manjrekar, believe that Rohit and Kohli would have had a better time of it on Day 1 had they played the Duleep Trophy? Remember that Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had also given the first-class domestic tournament a miss.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Rohit Sharma fell after scoring six runs in 19 balls while Virat Kohli was dismissed having scored six in six. Both players fell at a time when the conditions were especially tricky for batters and one might say that they contributed to softening the ball and making it easier for those that came after them but former batter Sanjay Mankjrekar felt that they would've had done better had they played in the Duleep Trophy.

“Considering the amount of international matches that they've played in the last five years, they could've been picked for he Duleep Trophy. I am sure that time out in the middle would have helped them in the first innings where they suddenly came out cold and having had to bat first,” he said on ESPNCricinfo.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Bangladesh have never bowled India out in an innings of a Test match. It looked like they would easily break that run at the end of the first two sessions of the first day. Now though, it's a different story.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: India scored 88 runs and lost three wickets in both the first and second sessions of Day 1. In the third session though, India's score was 163 for the loss of no wickets at all and that is where they may have won the match already.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Their 195-run stand is the highest partnership for the seventh or a lower wicket on the first day of a Test match. Previous highest was 186 by Jesse Ryder and Daniel Vettori vs India in Hamilton in 2009.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: In case you missed it yesterday, here is the moment Ravichandran Ashwin raised his bat a second consecutive time at the Chepauk Stadium in a Test match.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Before Ashwin and Jadeja took the game away from Bangladesh, their fast bowler Hasan Mahmud was he main topic of conversation. He ended the day with figures of 4/58. It is just the second time that a visiting fast bowler has taken four wickets or more on Day 1 of a Test match in India. The last man to do it was the incredible Dale Steyn in Ahmedabad in 2008 when he took figures of 5/23.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: With this century, Ashwin has become the fifth player to have multiple fifers and centuries at the same venue. The other four were the legendary Garfield Sobers at Headingley (two centuries and two five-fors), Kapil Dev in Chennai itself (two centuries and two five-fors), Chris Cairns in Auckland (two centuries and two five-fors) and Ian Botham at Headingley (two centuries, three five-fors).

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Ashwin had an extensive chat with the broadcasters after he regaled his beloved Chepauk crowd with yet another masterful century, his second consecutive ton at the ground. Here is what he said:

"It is always a special feeling to play in front of the home crowd. This is a ground I completely love to play cricket in. It's given me a lot of wonderful memories. The last time I got a hundred, you were the coach Ravi bhai (he tells Ravi Shastri who was asking him the question). It does feel special. It helps that I have come back at the back of a T20 tournament (TNPL), worked quite a bit on my batting. Of course, I have always been wafting my bat around outside off-stump. Worked on a few things and on a surface like this with a bit of spice, if you're going after the ball, might as well go after it really hard like Rishabh does. It's an old Chennai surface with a bit of bounce and carry. The red soil pitch allows you to play a few shots if you are willing to just get in line and give it a bit of a tonk when there's width. He (Jadeja) was of real help, there was a point in time where I was really sweating and getting a bit tired, Jaddu noticed it quickly and guided me through that phase. Jaddu has been one of our best batters for our team in the last few years. Him being there, pretty solid and he was also very helpful in terms of telling me that we don't have to convert twos into threes which was really helpful for me. (How will the pitch behave tomorrow?) It's a typical, old-fashioned Chennai pitch where overspin will fetch a bit of bounce. The wicket will start doing its tricks much later in the game. There's enough in it for the quicks, good carry, good bounce if we present the seam nice and hard. The new ball will do a bit, there'll be some help for the bowlers, we'll have to start afresh tomorrow. There's a bit in the pitch, it's still damp underneath, so hopefully as it dries out, it quickens up."

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: This is how the two sides are lining up in Chennai.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj

Bangladesh: Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das(w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: It was all even for the first two sessions of Day 1. In fact, one could argue that Bangladesh were slightly ahead in the Test. And then came a wicketless session after Tea in which Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took them to the cleaners. Now, they are on the cusp of batting Bangladesh out of the match. Stay tuned for more updates!
