IND vs BAN: After losing 4 wickets for 112 runs, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer played steadily with the highest 5th wicket partnership between India-Bangladesh tests.
While Rishabh Pant counterattacked after losing 3 wickets for 48 runs, as he smacked 46 runs off 45 balls with 6 fours & 2 sixes, his dismissal at 112 runs yet again concerned India.

Axar Patel (14) looked good in his 25-ball stay before he was dismissed on the last delivery of the day. For Bangladesh, spinner Taijul Islam picked up 3 wickets while Mehidy Hasan Miraz scalped two wickets. Khaled Ahmed also picked up a wicket.
