India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 3 Highlights: Gill, Pujara star as visitors set huge target for hosts

India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test Day 3 Live Updates: India look to inflict follow-on.

Shuban Gill India

Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara both scored hundreds as India set a huge target of 513 to Bangladesh on the 3rd day of the 1st test in Chattogram.

Earlier, India bundled the hosts for just 150 runs and then batted again to put on a further 258 runs in the second innings.

Day 3 Highlights:

Bangladesh were wrapped up early in the day for just 150 runs. Kuldeep Yadav picked up his 5th wicket by taking Ebadot Hossain early. And then it was Axar Patel who outfoxed Mehidy Hasan and Rishabh Pant uprooted the stumps, while Hasan was out of the crease by a mile. This was the 3rd 5-wicket haul for Kuldeep Yadav in his 8th test.

Gill, Pujara score magnificent tons:

India decided to bat again instead of enforcing a follow-on as they had a 254-run lead.

Captain KL Rahul had a start but was scalped by Khaled Ahmed on 23. But Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara continued in terrific fashion for the visitors. Gill was sublime with his batting, and scored his maiden test hundred. The pair added 113 runs before Gill departed for 110 runs in just 152 balls, which had 10 fours and 3 sixes in it.

And Cheteshwar Pujara followed better his first innings 90 with the 19th test century of his career. The Saurashtra batter never looked in any distress as he glided through the pitch to score 102 runs off just 130 balls. His inning had 13 fours in it and the strike rate was also above 78, which is uncharacteristic of Pujara's style of play. This was also Pujara's fastest test century, and his first ton in 52 innings.

Bangladeshi bowlers toiled a lot, but could inflict very little damage to the Indian batting lineup. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Khaled Ahmed picked one wicket each for the hosts.

India posted 258 before the declaration, giving Bangladesh a monumental target of 513 runs.

Bangladesh have scored 41 runs at the end of the day's play. Nazmul Hossain Shanto (22) and Zakir Hasan (19) have managed to keep their wickets intact as they prepare for a massive day tomorrow.

They will be battling it out in the final couple of days while India will be aiming to wrap the game up by tomorrow.
