The home team declared at 493 runs, giving themselves a chance to bowl out Bangladesh as early as they can. And to no surprise, their innings turned out as a near carbon copy of the first innings. The opening batsmen again stumbled out to some outstanding bowling by India’s fast bowlers. The Tigers had lost half their side for less than 100 on the board. The 63-run partnership between Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das gave them an outside chance. Mehidy Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim further delayed the inevitable by putting on another half-century stand.
