Fri Sep 20 10:32:45 UTC 2024: ## India Dominate Day 2 of First Test Against Bangladesh, Leaving Visitors in Trouble
**Chennai, India:** India continued their dominant performance in the first Test against Bangladesh on Day 2, leaving the visitors in a precarious position. With a four-wicket haul from Jasprit Bumrah and a crucial stand between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, India set up a comfortable lead and are poised to enforce the follow-on.
Bangladesh, resuming the day needing to claw back from a 376-run deficit, were undone by a relentless Indian bowling attack. Taskin Ahmed provided the early breakthrough, dismissing Ravindra Jadeja for 86, but India quickly asserted their dominance. Jasprit Bumrah snagged the first wicket in the Bangladesh innings, followed by a double strike from Akash Deep that left the visitors reeling at 26/3 at Lunch.
The second session saw Bangladesh struggle to build any momentum. Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan briefly threatened to steady the ship with a 51-run partnership, but both fell victim to Jadeja’s spin bowling. Bumrah then picked up his fourth wicket in the session, removing Hasan Mahmud, leaving Bangladesh teetering at 112/8 at Tea.
By the end of the day, Bangladesh were all out for a paltry 149, leaving them trailing by 227 runs. This puts immense pressure on the visitors, who will have to bat with resilience and determination in their second innings to avoid an embarrassing defeat.
India, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on their strong position, with Ashwin and Jadeja eyeing personal milestones. Ashwin, who scored a century on Day 1, will aim for a big score, while Jadeja is on the cusp of his fifth Test century.
With the pitch easing out and offering less assistance to the bowlers, India are set to resume their innings on Day 3, looking to build a formidable lead and set up a comfortable victory.
