Bangladesh were alive in the game and fighting when off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz troubled the Indian batters with a five-wicket haul while defending a target of just 145 runs. In his five-for, Miraz dismissed Pujara, Gill, Kohli, Pant and Axar and had India reeling at 74/7. But, his effort went in vain as Iyer and Ashwin took India home.

Rishabh Pant struck a century on his return to test cricket as India reduced Bangladesh to 158-4 at stumps on day three of the first test.

CHENNAI: A sublime century by Shubman Gill (119 not out) and a hard-hitting 109 by Rishabh Pant helped India set a mammoth target of 515 runs for Bangladesh on the third day of the opening Test at Chepauk here on Saturday.
