**Chennai, India:** India continued their dominance in the first Test against Bangladesh on Day Two at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Despite a valiant effort from Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud who picked up his first five-wicket haul in India, the Indian batsmen, led by Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, put up a strong fight.

Ashwin, who scored a century on Day One, continued his form and remained unbeaten on 113. Jadeja, with 85 runs, also contributed significantly to the partnership, reaching a 199-run stand for the seventh wicket before being dismissed by Taskin Ahmed.

The day started with Bangladesh taking the second new ball, looking to make early inroads into the Indian batting line-up. However, it was Bumrah who provided the first breakthrough, cleaning up Shadman Islam for just 2 runs.
