Chennai:
India vs Bangladesh 1st Test Live Score: Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a solid half-century but India lost three wickets in the second session to slip to 176/6 when tea was taken on Day 1 of the first Test in Chennai. Jaiswal made 56 before departing while Hasan Mahmud has picked up four wickets so far. He struck early after the lunch break to take his fourth scalp in Rishabh Pant who was out caught behind on 39. Jaiswal and Pant added 62 runs for the fourth wicket to help India recover from three early blows.
India lost captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli to Hasan under an overcast sky. The hosts made a cautious start and Rohit was lucky to be not dismissed even earlier thanks to the umpire’s call after Bangladesh reviewed a not out LBW decision. He then scored a boundary but didn’t last long before making his way back to the dressing room. Gill and Kohli then were both out caught behind leaving the hosts in trouble.
