That is it from Day 4 from Chattogram, India need four wickets to win while Bangladesh pin hopes on Shakib Al Hasan The opening pair of Bangladesh played the entire first session and put together a century partnership. Almost no opportunities were created. Umesh Yadav was the one to make the breakthrough after lunch when he forced Shanto to play a careless shot. Before tea, the hosts lost two more wickets as Litton Das gave his wicket away to Kuldeep and Yasir was bowled by Axar. Debutant Zakir Hasan batted brilliantly to reach his first Test century, but he lost his wicket right away after Ashwin took his first wicket of the game.

With the second new ball, Axar bowled quite well. He took two wickets in one over; Nurul was stumped while moving forward, and Mushfiqur was beaten by the spin. It appeared as though Bangladesh would lose this Test today, but Shakib and Mehidy batted for 14 overs to keep it going. While the latter was content to block it about, the former wasn't hesitant to play aerial shots.

India vs Bangladesh: Lunch, Day 4

The first session on fourth day belonged to Bangladesh. Openers Najmul and Zakir struck fifties and showed great effort with the bat. At no stage did they look uncomfortable or daunted by the bowling. The track is still good to bat on and the openers have shown great application. India need to come out hard in the 2nd innings now.

BAN 150 & 113/0 (39.4)

India vs Bangladesh: Kuldeep, Siraj trying their best

Mohammed Siraj playing mind games with batters now. He is passing on some comments after every delivery to Najmul Hossain Shanto. The batter has only smiled in return. But Siraj is trying to do what he did to Litton Das in the first innings. Kuldeep trying his best too in from the other end. 

BAN 150 & 97/0 (35.2)

BAN 150 & 90/0 (31.2)

India vs Bangladesh: Umesh and Ashwin in tandem

Drinks on the field. Ashwin and Umesh this morning have bowled a long spell but without any success. Najmul and Zakir have been excellent. They have looked to take the Indian bowlers on, instead of going into a shell with a defensive approach. 

BAN 150 & 81/0 (28)

India vs Bangladesh: Kuldeep, Siraj key for India

Kuldeep Yadav stormed back to form in his first Test match in 6 years when he scalped five wicket haul in the first innings to break the back of the Bangladesh batting unit. Mohammed Siraj bowled with a lot of discipline too, hitting the stumps and he was rewarded for it, helping India break partnerships. These two will hold the key in 2nd innings too. KL Rahul needs to use them smartly on Day 4. 

India vs Bangladesh: Can Bangladesh script history?

Shakib Al Hasan's Bangladesh have a golden opportunity in their hands. To register their first Test win vs India and do it in a grand style. Chasing big totals and winning games from nowhere is what good Test sides are made of and Bangladesh need to rise at these crunch times to pack a punch. Imagine the scenes in the country if they actually do it and that too against one of their arch-rivals India.

IND vs BAN LIVE: An exciting Day 4 beckons

India need 10 wickets to win first Test. Bangladesh need 471 more runs to do the same. It would be a historic win if Bangladesh pull it off.

LIVE Score India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Kuldeep Yadav ahead of Day 4

"I was playing white-ball cricket since my comeback from injury -- playing T20 and One-day cricket. In between, I also played red-ball cricket for India A against New Zealand A and I bowled a long spell. Because of my bowling style, I did't find it much more difficult to switch from white-ball to red-ball cricket. Of course, I was a bit nervous as I was playing red-ball cricket after a long gap but I was not thinking about my performance. The formation is quite different and so are the field positions, you need to have more control in Test cricket -- so I was a bit nervous about these things but I felt quite good at the end of the first innings."
 

India vs Bangladesh: Kuldeep Yadav and Siraj key for India

India will heavily rely on star of the first innings Kuldeep Yadav, who picked up five wickets and Mohammed Siraj, who bowled his heart out to pick 3 wickets and broke partnerships at crucial stages for India. They need to fire collectively and hope that India bowl the Bangladesh out tomorrow.

India vs Bangladesh: Onus on Indian bowlers

Bangladesh went back to dressing room at the end of Day 3 at 42/0 after 12 overs. They have 2 full days to bat and they still need 471 more runs to win. The Indian bowlers will need to ensure Bangladesh get bowled out tomorrow. If the match goes to Day 5, it will mean that Bangladesh have managed to bat well in the second innings.

LIVE IND vs BAN 1st ODI: Shubman Gill says THIS after scoring his first Test century

"I personally thought it (maiden Test century) was long time coming for me. Today it was all about getting the difficult situation out of the way. There weren't any different thoughts (while batting in the 90s). For me, it was about how to play according to the field and then be able to score runs. It was very instinctive (to hit a couple of boundaries and get to the milestone). When the bowler came round the wicket, there was gap between third man and point. I hadn't played it the whole innings. And once the field came in, I went over the fielders. When lunch happened, I was batting around 13. When I'd faced 100 balls, I was 70-odd, it's about pacing the innings. You got to know when to attack as a batter. (The century) Means a lot to me, my family and my friends who have supported me. Special moment for any player - getting the maiden century here means a lot to me."

LIVE IND vs BAN: India on top

The young Bangladeshi opening pair did well to navigate the challenging 12-over session with little difficulty. Although the ball has had some spin, batting hasn't been that challenging because the track has slowed down somewhat. And this ought to offer the hosts some encouragement for the following two days. But India was the focus of today. It was then a matter of expanding the lead as rapidly as possible when KL decided against the follow-on after taking the final two wickets inside the first hour. With less than an hour to stumps, centuries from Gill and Pujara, both of whom scored them quickly, ensured that the hosts were forced to bat again. There are still 6 sessions and 471 runs left. While West Indies broke a run chase record in Chattogram last year, Bangladesh is currently only concerned with surviving. India, on the other hand, has a tonne of runs still to score and will need to be patient on this sluggish surface. Please return tomorrow at 9.30 a.m. local time to watch the fourth day of play.

LIVE IND vs BAN: Cheteshwar Pujara scored Test ton after 52 innings, India declare with 512 lead

After deciding against the follow-on, India had accomplished everything on their to-do list. Skipper Rahul was unable to capitalise on a start, but Gill and Pujara made merry, attacking the spinners with ease. The track has gone slower from yesterday, but that doesn't take anything away from either batter. There was spin available. At his flowing best, Gill rightfully reached his first Test century, and Pujara broke his century curse with a showy hit of his own. The number of times the No. 3 stepped out to loft spinners down the ground during his knock stood out. It's not a tactic we've seen him use frequently, and while some of it may have been influenced by the circumstances of the game, there also looked to be a noticeable shift in attitude. Any slight chance Bangladesh could have had of causing a sort of collapse was destroyed by the pair's tenacious stand. The scoring pace has also increased dramatically over the past two hours, leaving the hosts with an uphill battle. There are still six complete sessions and one hour today. India is in complete control of this game. Soon, the Bangladesh response will start.

LIVE IND vs BAN: Shubman Gill smashes maiden Test ton and Twitter can't keep calm

India's star opening batter Shubman Gill finally completed his maiden Test hundred when he smashed 110 off 152 balls in the 2nd innings of the first Test vs Bangladesh. His knock included 10 fours and 3 sixes respectively. Gill batter superbly and ensured India continue to score at a brisk pace. His strike rate in this innings was over 70 which is testimony to the fact that while reaching a great personal milestone, Gill kept the team's interest in mind. As soon as Gill reached the landmark, twitter started celebrating the knock by the opener, some calling him the future legend of Indian cricket.
