Leg-spinner Anil Kumble also grabbed the limelight to break Kapil Dev's Indian record for Test wickets by claiming his 435th and 436th scalps in his 91st match.

Pathan picked up five for 45 and fast bowler Zaheer Khan added two for 51 as they left the hosts reeling on 50 for five at one stage on a damp pitch offering seam movement.

But Mohammad Ashraful led the resistance for the hosts, scoring a dogged unbeaten 60 and sharing in a 56-run stand for the sixth wicket with Manjural Islam Rana (24) and 65 for the eighth with Mohammad Rafique (47).

India struck early after captain Sourav Ganguly elected to field, left-arm seamer Pathan trapping Javed Omar (4) lbw to a ball that nipped back.
