After India's impressive first innings total of 376, Bangladesh 's hopes of a strong response were quickly dampened by the Indian pace attack. Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood, dismissing Shadman Islam with a searing delivery that left him bewildered.

Akash Deep, who headed into the contest after a superb outing in the Duleep Trophy, knocked the stumps twice in a row.
