Chennai,19
Sept
India
recovered well from early hiccups to end day one at 339 for six against
Bangladesh in the opening Test of the two-match series here on Thursday.
India lost
three wickets each in the morning and post-lunch session to reach 176 for six
at tea with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hitting a patient 56.
But it was
counter-attacking seventh-wicket unconquered partnership of 195 runs off 227
balls between centurion Ravichandran Ashwin (102 not out) and Ravindra Jadeja
(86 not out) that took Bangladesh by surprise.
Pacer Hasan
Mahmud (4/58), who claimed the wickets of India skipper Rohit Sharma, Shubman
Gill and Virat Kolhi in the opening session, added one more to his tally in the
form of Rishabh Pant.
Nahid Rana
(1/80) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1/77) picked up a wicket each.
But the
Bangladeshi bowlers fell flat in front of Ashwin and Jadeja as they failed to
pick up a single wicket in the final session of the day.-PTI
