08:38 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of Day 2 of the opening Test between India and Bangladesh.

Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque must have been questioning his decision to bat first when The Tigers were reduced to 12/2, with Shadman Islam (6) edging Ishant behind after Umesh removed Imrul Kayes (6).

Shami then removed Mohammad Mithun (13) and matters could have become even worse for Bangladesh but for some shoddy work in the slips.

Mushfiqur Rahim was put down by Virat Kohli on three and Ajinkya Rahane with 14 to his name, capitalising by striking for a straight six, then dispatching the next ball for four.

Ashwin ended a fourth-wicket stand of 68 when Mominul (37) was cleaned up. The spinner also bowled Mahmudullah (10) after he was spilled by Rahane.

Shami generated sharp swing to uproot Mushfiqur's off stump and the tourists lost their last five wickets for only 10 runs after he departed for 43.

Abu Jayed snared Rohit caught behind for only six, but Pujara and Agarwal were untroubled in an unbroken stand of 72.
