India vs Bangladesh

Hasan had impressed with his solid defensive shots late on day three, but on Saturday, he played some beautiful strokes as well to notch up a Test ton. Former skipper Aminul Islam, who made a hundred in Bangladesh's first-ever Test match against India (145 in 2000), Mohammad Ashraful (114 in 2001) and Abul Hasan (113 in 2012) are the others from Bangladesh to make a hundred on Test debut.

For India, they now need to take out four wickets on day five while Bangladesh need 241 runs for a miraculous victory. It was a day where the visitors' were made to work hard with the ball, starting from a wickless first session, before taking out three wickets each in the next two sessions.

On a pitch which seems to have slowed down greatly, India did find some turn and bounce, but it was insufficient to avoid a wicketless session. Shanto (64 not out) and Hasan (55 not out) showed tremendous application, resolve and patience to frustrate the Indian bowling attack and rendered them ineffective.

Kuldeep Yadav completed his third five-for in the eighth Test match -- a career-best 5 for 40 and India bowled out Bangladesh for just 150, taking a lead of a massive 254-run lead. But the 28-year-old spinner said he did not experience any trouble in adjusting to Test cricket as he was not totally cut off from cricket, being involved in white-ball cricket for India.

After Kuldeep Yadav completed his third five-for in the eighth Test match and India bowled out Bangladesh for just 150, captain KL Rahul (20 not out) and Shubman Gill (15 not out) took the visitors' to 36/0 in the first 15 overs of second innings.

Apart from an all-round performance by Kuldeep Yadav (40 runs with bat and 4/33 with the ball) and an important 58 from Ravichandran Ashwin, Siraj burst through the Bangladesh top-order to register figures of 3/14 in nine overs. He stated that bowling to a stump-to-stump line at one area consistently was his recipe for success at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

After scoring a career-best 40 in a stand of 92 with Ravichandran Ashwin (58) to help India post a competitive 404 from an overnight score of 278/6, Kuldeep would find proper turn and bounce with the ball on a slow pitch to spin a web around Bangladesh batters and pick 4/33 to leave the hosts' reeling at 133/8 on stumps, trailing India by 271 runs and need 72 more runs to avoid follow-on.

Kuldeep found proper turn and bounce with the ball to pick 4/33, after making a crucial 40, also his highest Test score with the bat. In the morning, after India lost Shreyas Iyer for 86, Kuldeep e shared a 92-run stand with Ravichandran Ashwin (58) for the eighth wicket to take India to 404 in first innings.

After Shreyas Iyer could add only four runs to his overnight total before being castled by Ebadot Hossain despite Bangladesh dropping another catch of him, Kuldeep and Ashwin put on an unbroken 55-run stand off 132 deliveries.

For Bangladesh, left-arm spinner Taijul Islam picked two wickets while Khaled Ahmed had a scalp against his name in a wonderful morning session for the hosts. Electing to bat first on a seemingly good batting pitch, which had just a hint of nip and the odd ball stayed a tad low, Rahul got off the mark with an inner edge on the flick going through fine leg.
