Mahmudullah Riyad plays a terribly misjudged sweep and is bowled around his legs by Ravichandran Ashwin. Mushfiqur is still at the crease but Bangladesh are 115 for 5, with Liton Das next in.

Riyad could only get 10 off 30.

Mahmudullah b Ashwin 10 (30b 1x4 0x6)

CHANCE

Mahmudullah Riyad is dropped in the slips off a delivery by Ravichandran Ashwin. Ajinkya Rahane had an easy one, but lets it go. Two dropped by catches by India today. Tigers 111 for 4.

DRINKS

Mohammad Shami limps off the field one ball before drinks are taken. Bangladesh are 106 for four, with Mahmudullah Riyad on 7 and Mushfiqur Rahim on 34.

FOW: Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque departed following a solid 37 off 99 balls. Mominul left a delivery from Raavichandran Ashwin only to see it rattle into his stumps.

Bangladesh are 99 for four.

Mominul Haque b Ashwin 37 (80b 6x4 0x6)

Skipper Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim take Bangladesh through to lunch on a shaky 64 for three after a testing morning session on the first day of the first Test against India in Indore. Mominul is not out on 23 off 60 balls, while Mushfiqur is batting on 16 off 30.

It has been a chancy innings from Mushfiqur, who was dropped on 3 by Virat Kohli off Umesh Yadav.

CHANCE

Bangladesh 48 for three: Bangladesh get a lifeline as Mushfiqur Tahsin is dropped in the slips by Virat Kohli of all people. That would have reduced the visitors to four wickets under 50 runs. Will India be left to rue that error.

FOW

Bangladesh 31/3 in 17.6 overs: Mohammad Mithun goes and Bangladesh are 31 for three. Mohammad Shami strikes, getting his man trapped in front for lbw and the finger goes up immediately. No chance of reviewing that one. Mushfiqur comes out.

Mohammad Mithun lbw b Mohammed Shami 12 (36b 1x4 0x6)

India spend one of their reviews immediately after drinks trying to get Mohammad Mithun but the umpire sticks to the original not out decision on an lbw call.

DRINKS BREAK

Bangladesh 19/2 in 13 overs: India have completely dominated the first hour of play after both sides got what they wanted out of the toss.

Bangladesh were happy to bat after winning the toss while India captain Virat Kohli said he would have fielded anyway.

That decision from the hosts seemed sound after a devastating opening spell from Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma, although the latter struggled to get into his rhythm initially.

Bangladesh`s openers Shadman Islam and Imrul Kayes both scored six each before departing to either bowler.

With skipper Mominul Haque and Mohammad Mithun now at the crease, the visitors have a serious job on their hands.

FOW

Bangladesh 2/12 in 6.6 overs: Young opener Shadman Islam follows Imrul into the pavillion and Bangladesh are reeling. A fuller one from Ishant Sharma takes the edge and carries to the wicketkeeper. Shadman departs for 6 and the visitors are 12 for 2. Mohammad Mithun joins his captain in the middle. Shadman Islam c †Saha b I Sharma 6 (24b 1x4 0x6)

FOW

Bangladesh 1/12 in 5.6 overs: After a feisty opening spell, Umesh Yadav draws first blood, removing Imrul Kayes. Kayes is caught behind and departs for 6 as Bangladesh are reduced to 12 for one. The skipper, Mominul Haque, now steps onto the field. Imrul Kayes c Rahane b Yadav 6 (18b 1x4 0x6)

TOSS

Imrul Kayes will open with Shadman Islam.

Bangladesh go in with two pacers and two spinners. As expected, no Mustafizur Rahman in the lineup. The left-armer had been suffering from poor form and Abu Jayed Rahi and Ebadot Hossain will spearhead Bangladesh’s pace attack while Al Amin has been overlooked.

Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bat first in the first Test at Indore today.

Teams:

Bangladesh XI: Imrul Kayes, Shadman Islam, Mohammad Mithun, Mominul Haque (capt), Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Liton Das, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Abu jayed, Ebadot

India XI: Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (capt), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav
