After that, Mominul Haque (40*) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) brought the team back into the game with their 51-run stand. Just before the rain break, Ravichandran Ashwin removed Shanto to bring his team back into the game.

Before the umpire forced the players back in, Mushfiqur Rahim (6*), along with Haque, were on the crease before rain forced the umpires to call the day off. Bangladesh ended with 107/3 in 35 overs. India would be hoping to pick wickets early as the play resumes on Day 3.
