India 356/3 against Bangladesh at Stumps on Day one

MNA Sports Desk: India managed to reach a massive 356 for 3 at stumps on day one of the only Test against Bangladesh after centuries each from Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli.

Vijay scored 108 and Kohli remained unbeaten on 111 at the end of the day. Ajinkya Rahane was unbeaten on 45 for India. Earlier, India lost KL Rahul in the first over.

Vijay completed his century in 160 balls, playing 178-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara.

At tea, opener Murali Vijay and Chetehswar Pujara feasted on a below par Bangladesh bowling attack as India raced to a comfortable 206 for two at tea on the first day of the one-off cricket Test.

An easy pitch with a bowling attack lacking experience came to the fore as Bangladesh bowlers fizzled out post first hour.

Earlier, opting to bat, India survived opener Lokesh Rahul’s (2) first over dismissal but Vijay and Pujara ensured that there were no demons in it.

Rahul, whose scores hover between single and three digits in longer format, was bowled when he dragged a fuller delivery from Taskin while attempting a cover drive.
