This is India’s first-ever day-night Test. Bangladesh, too, is playing its first D/N Test match. The pink ball will be used during the entirety of the match.
Overs:
12.5: Out! Rohit Sharma loses his wicket. An Ebadat Hossain ball finds its way to Rohit’s pads after he fails to judge the ball. The umpire lifts his finger but Rohit Sharma is not too happy with it and decides to review the decision. Upon review, the ball was found to be touching the bails and as a result, the decision was not overturned. Luckily, India did not lose their review.
Tea break: Time to take a rest for India and Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma was handed a lifeline by Al-Amin Hossain after the latter dropped his catch at the boundary line. Earlier, Mayank Agarwal fell victim to Al-Amin, but ever since then, the duo of Sharma and Pujara have done well to keep the Bangladeshi bowlers at bay. Let’s see if the Indians continue the same or whether the Bangladeshis overcome the odds to see off the Indian batting lineup.
11.1: Dropped! The dangerous Rohit Sharma is dropped by wicket-taker Al-Amin on the boundary line. How costly will this drop turn out to be for Bangladesh? It was a sitter and Al-Amin had all the time in the world. But, turns out it is Rohit Sharma’s day after all.
4.4: Out! Mayank Agarwal becomes the first Indian victim. Falls down to a short of length delivery by Al-Amin. A rare lapse in concentration displayed by Agarwal, which ultimately cost him his wicket. Mehidy Hasan takes his catch at the gully.
Innings break: Bangladesh was at the receiving end throughout their innings as the Indian seamers made a meal out of their batsmen. The pink ball seems to favour the seamers a lot as seen in the valiant display put on by the Indian bowlers. The spinners were non-existent as they were not allowed to have any impact on the game.
