B'desh 54/3 at stumps on day two
Kumble & Bhajji rocked the hosts after India were dismissed for 540. Score
Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly helped India overcome Bangladesh's spirited bowling and take command of the second and final Test on Saturday.
Dravid top-scored with a magnificent 160 and captain Ganguly added 88 to guide India to 540 all out, despite fine efforts by fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza (3-60) and left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique, who took four for 156.
Indian spinners Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh then reduced Bangladesh to 54 for three at the close on day two.
India, who won the first Test in Dhaka by an innings and 140 runs, look set for another big victory, but were made to work hard by their unfancied opponents.
The 21-year-old Mortaza, nicknamed the "Norail Express", rallied Bangladesh with two prized scalps as India lost five wickets in the morning after resuming on 334 for two.
He struck with the first ball by trapping Sachin Tendulkar leg before for 36 and had Dravid caught behind to reduce India to 413 for seven at lunch.
