During the second session on day four of the second Test match, Jasprit Bumrah picked up a three-wicket haul, playing a key role in bundling out Bangladesh for just 233 runs in their first innings. With that, Bangladesh added only 126 runs to their score of 107/3 from Day 1 after two days of the match were washed out due to rain and wet outfield.
Earlier in the match, Rohit Sharma-led Team India won the toss and opted to field first at the Green Park in Kanpur. Akash Deep got the first breakthrough as he dismissed Zakir Hasan on a 24-ball duck and doubled the strike as he then got the wicket of Shadman Islam. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto also could not stay for long as Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed him lbw before the umpires called early stumps due incessant rain.
While Day 2 and 3 saw no play due to rain and wet outfield at the Green Park in Kanpur, Monimul Haque’s unbeaten 107 off 194 deliveries, helped the side post 233 runs before being bowled out in 74.2 overs. None of the batters apart from Monimul Haque breached the 50-run mark. Notably, Haque’s 102* was only the second century by a visiting batter in ten Tests in Kanpur since 1984, after Andre Hall’s 163 in 2004.
Jasprit Bumrah gets three; Siraj Ashwin, Akash Deep take two each to restrict Bangladesh below 250
After Akash Deep picked up two wickets on Day 1 of the second Test, while Ashwin got one, Jasprit Bumrah got the first breakthrough early on Day 4 in the ongoing Test match as he cleaned up Mushfiqur Rahim. None of the Bangladesh batters had a long stay in the middle except Monimul Haque as Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan followed Rahim to the dugout, courtesy brilliant catches from Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Siraj.
Bumrah however, continued to wreak havoc with the ball as he got the wicket of Mehidy Hasan Miraz soon after lunch, followed by Taijul Islam. India all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja got a solitary wicket of Khaled Ahmed as he wrapped up the Bangladesh first innings. With this, he also completed 300 Test wickets, becoming just the seventh Indian bowler to do so.
