Ravichandran Ashwin to Najmul Hossain Shanto
FOUR! Firmly struck and Najmul Hossain Shanto is single-handedly playing a top knock here. Ashwin tosses this one up full on middle and leg, Shanto brings out the reverse again and shovels it away in front of point for a boundary.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Mehidy Hasan
OUT! CAUGHT! A complete lapse in concentration from Mehidy Hasan and its that man again, Ravichandran Ashwin with another five-fer that too in front of the home crowd and his family as well. A 37th five-wicket haul in Test matches for Ashwin, equalling the late and great Shane Warne as well, just behind Muralitharan's 67 five-wicket haul, a staggering feat indeed. Ashwin drags the length back and flights the ball up on middle and leg, Mehidy skips down the track but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and yet he tries to force the lofted shot. The ball goes high and down to long on where Ravindra Jadeja is stationed and he takes a simple catch. Bangladesh going down in a hurry now.

Ravindra Jadeja to Najmul Hossain Shanto
Oh, was there an inside edge on that one? There were two sounds for sure and it seems like there was a faint inside edge. Ravindra Jadeja gives this one some flight and gets it to dip around off, Najmul Hossain Shanto gets a big stride across to block but the ball turns in, takes a faint inside edge and lobs up after hitting the pads. There's no forward short leg in place and the wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant scampers in front to take the catch but can't quite reach it.

Ravindra Jadeja to Najmul Hossain Shanto
Very quick, darted on the middle and with a bit of a turn into the batter. Shanto leans on but closes the bat face early and the ball catches the leading edge before rolling to cover.

Ravindra Jadeja to Najmul Hossain Shanto
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Jadeja gets his second and Shanto's brilliant innings come to an end. Bangladesh lose their 8th and the most important wicket and now India can sense a win! Jadeja sticks to dart the ball in quick, and just throws it wider outside off, on a shade fuller length, Shanto swings hard at it and looks to lift it over covers but the ball skids through and comes quickly to the bat. Shanto, as a result, doesn't connect it through the middle and slices it up in the air. The ball swirls over in the overcast skies where Bumrah from covers runs back and takes a fantastic sliding catch. But nonetheless, a true captain's knock from Najmul Hossain Shanto as he departs on a well-constructed 82.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Taskin Ahmed
OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed chances his arm yet again but this time, he has to walk back to the hut. Ravichandran Ashwin cleverly just drags the length back a bit and drifts this one into the pads. Taskin Ahmed gets in an awkward position and swings across the line, against the turn as well and gets a top edge. The ball goes high and lands around the mid on region where Mohammed Siraj settles under it nicely and takes a simple catch. Ashwin gets his sixth and India are now just one wicket away from the win.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Hasan Mahmud
That's the end of the game, or is it? Muted appeal for caught behind but it looks like that one came right off the arm. Ashwin tosses it up on a shorter length outside off and gets it to turn back in a mile. Hasan Mahmud almost gets cut in half as the ball jams him on the arm right around the gloves and pops up. Rishabh Pant pouches it safely.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Hasan Mahmud
Valiant effort from Mohammed Siraj at mid off but the ball falls just short. Ravichandran Ashwin tosses it up full and around off stump, Hasan Mahmud looks for the heave and hangs back but ends up miscuing it well in front of mid off. Siraj scampers ahead and puts in the dive but the ball lands short and the batters get a single.

Ravindra Jadeja to Hasan Mahmud
OUT! TIMBER! That's it, Ravindra Jadeja has cleaned up Hasan Mahmud and India have won the first Test. The arm ball from Jadeja, fired in on off stump and this one darts back in quickly. Hasan Mahmud sits down to sweep it away but leaves a huge gap and misses his shot as well. The ball shatters into the stumps as Jadeja picks up his third wicket of the innings and India have beaten Bangladesh here by 280 runs!
