India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: Pujara-Iyer's century stand helps visitors post 278 for 6

Taijul Islam was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh as he returned with three wickets. Mehidy Hasan was slightly expensive but he picked up two wickets. Khaled Ahmed also bagged a wicket.

Wicket! Mehidy Hasan Miraz strikes on the final ball of the day's play as he traps Axar Patel (14) with a beauty. The batter goes upstairs to review it but it turned out to be 'umpire's call'. India reach 278/6 in 90 overs and that's Stumps in Chattogram on Day 1. The third session has been shared between the two teams.

Wicket! Cheteshwar Pujara has been clean bowled by Taijul Islam for 90 off 203 balls. A well deserved century has been missed. The partnership has been broken finally. Pujara's wait for an elusive Test century continues as it has been 4 years and 51 innings since his last ton.

1st innings: Second new ball taken

Bangladesh have taken the second new ball after 81 overs. Taijul Islam has been handed the ball from on-field skipper Litton Das. Will Taijul be able to break this partnership and open the gates for his team in this spell?

The stand between Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer is worth 134*. This is the highest partnership for India in Test cricket against Bangladesh for any wicket. The previous best was 123 between Ravindra Jadeja and Mayank Agarwal which they achieved in Indore Test in 2019.

End of 78 overs and India reach 246 for the loss of 4 wickets. 12 more overs to go in this game and the second new ball will be available in two overs. There is plenty of turn and bounce on offer on this track but the batters have applied themselves well, although they've got some reprieves by Bangladesh fielders.

Maiden Century stand between Iyer-Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer have shared a hundred-run partnership between them off 213 balls. This is the first instance when these two are batting together and have started it with a century-stand.

Half-Century for Shreyas Iyer

Four! Shreyas Iyer hits a boundary off Shakib and gets to his fourth half-century in Test cricket. He has faced 93 deliveries. Another confident knock from Iyer - who is the leading run-scorer for India in international cricket in 2022. With that, India have also completed 200 runs in the first innings.

Four! Cheteshwar Pujara gets a boundary off Taijul Islam and completes yet another half-century, his 34th in Test cricket. A solid knock from the dependable batter as he faced 126 deliveries to complete his fifty.

3rd Session begins on Day 1

The third and final session of the day has resumed. Pujara and Iyer are in the middle and will look to extend the 62-run stand for the fifth wicket. Ebadot Hossain will be starting the proceedings for Bangladesh in the final session of the day.

Tea Break

India claim the second session as they score 89 runs in the post-lunch session and lost just 1 wicket. Rishabh Pant was the lone success for the hosts. India reach 174/4 in 56 overs. Pujara (42*) & Iyer (41*) have shared a stand of 62 runs between them and steadied the ship for the visitors.

50-run stand between Pujara and Iyer

Four! Shreyas Iyer hits a boundary over cover region and with that shot he also shared a fifty-run partnership with Pujara. They have steadied the ship for India but this is also the last recognised batting pair for India so they'll have to bat deep and long.

Bangladesh bowlers continue building pressure

India have reached 125 for the loss of 4 wickets in 38 overs. Runs have dried up for India after Rishabh Pant's departure. Pujara is playing his characteristic Test inning while Shreyas Iyer is taking some time to settle down. Bangladeshi bowlers have bowled tight lines in the interim and put a brake on the flow of runs.

India four down

Wicket! Rishabh Pant (46) chops it on to his stumps and his innings come to an end for 46 off 45 balls off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. He missed out on a big knock and India lose their fourth wicket for 116. Bangladesh have broken the 50-plus partnership. Not a good start for the visitors in the second session either. Spinners are doing the job for the hosts.

2nd session starts in Chattogram

Play resumes in Chattogram! Both Indian batters are into the middle and Ebadot Hossain starts the proceedings. Cheteshwar Pujara gets a breather on the second ball of the second session and gets a boundary.

Lunch Break on Day 1

End of the first session and India reach 85/3 in 26 overs. Bangladesh will claim this session as they scalped three wickets in a cluster and rattled India's top order. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul failed to convert the start they got in the first hour. But the biggest jolt to the visitors came in Virat Kohli - who was trapped in front by Taijul Islam - after facing five deliveries. India were 48 for three and found themselves reeling under pressure. Islam was the pick of the bowlers for the side. But after getting promoted to No. 5, Rishabh Pant - who has been India's top-run scorer this year in Tests - once again played counter-attacking knock and helped India reach 85 for three in 26 overs before the umpires signalled lunch break. Pant is batting on 29* off 32 balls and Cheteshwar Pujara is at the crease for 12*. They've shared a stand of 37 off 39 balls.

SIX!! Rishabh Pant will play his trademark Test knock. Three wickets are already down but that didn't stop the southpaw from playing big shots.

50 up for India in the 22nd over but they've lost three big wickets.

BIG Wicket! Virat Kohli has been trapped in front by Taijul Islam for 1. Pujara asked the batter to review it but the ball tracker confirmed all three Reds and India are in deep trouble now. They've lost three wickets in quick succession and even 50 runs are not on the board. Bangladesh are on top. India - 48/3 in 19.3 overs

Wicket! KL Rahul (22) departs as he chops onto the stumps and India lose another wicket in quick succession. Khaled Ahmed is delighted as he gets the Indian skipper. Same old flaw from KL Rahul costs him his wicket, yet again. Bangladesh have well and truly bounced back in this session as both the Indian openers are back in the pavilion. India - 45/2 in 18.1 overs.

Wicket! After setting his eyes for almost an hour, Shubman Gill gifts his wicket in a soft dismissal. He attempts a paddle sweep against Taijul Islam but didn't get the timing right. The ball gets a leading edge and flies towards the leg side and the batter is been caught at leg slip by Yasir Ali. India lose their first wicket for 41 in 13.2 overs

Test Match or ODI? Spin into the attack in the 6th over! Shakib Al Hasan introduces himself early on with the aim to break this opening stand between Rahul and Gill.

Ebadot Hossain is clocking 140 kmph every now and then in his first spell. The Indian batters are giving him respect early on as they look to get in the grooves.

1st Innings! Indian opening duo of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are out in the middle. Ebadot Hossain will start the proceedings with the new ball for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Playing XI: Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan(w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain.

India Playing XI: Shubman Gill, KL Rahul(C), Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(wk), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.

Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh Captain: We would have batted first. Looks to me a good wicket but history says that more wickets fall on the first day than the last day. Hopefully we can get some early wickets and put pressure on India. We're playing a Test match after 5 months, that's a big gap but we've prepared well and hopefully we can put on a good show. This is an important series hopefully we can put some (WTC) points on the board. We've got two seamers, three spinners and seven batsmen.

KL Rahul: We'll bat first. Looks a good wicket, put runs on the board and hope that the wicket breaks, use the foot-marks later on and try and see if we can take 20 wickets. There have been a few injuries, obviously we miss our captain Rohit and a few others but that gives opportunities to other guys. Everyone's played a little bit of cricket and they'll be excited to take on this challenge and contribute to the team. Kuldeep plays, there are 3 spinners - Axar, Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav - and two medium pacers - Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav.

Toss Update: India's acting skipper KL Rahul has won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the opening Test in Chattogram.
