Surprised to see Bangladesh's skipper opt to bat where pitch is green and that too against the in-form seam attack , guess 4th day mojo effect dominated this decision. as of now they are struggling at 12/2.

The decision to bat first by Bangladesh is to avoid batting in the fourth innings and the pitch will aide the spinners and Bangladesh wanted to ball and they expect they will have a better chance if they can put a good total on the board, they already lost 3 wickets and if they are able to build some good partnership and put a good total then we might see a good match but i still see India scoring a huge first innings lead and taking them out.
When is the day night test starting as i thought this one is a day night test as i saw pink balls images posted here.

The second Test is a day night Test match and it starts on 22 November and this will be the first match India will be playing and hopefully it will be a successful on and can attract the crowd.
Bangladesh batsman are taking their time to avoid loosing a wicket again and the Indian fielders are missing catches, Rahane put a catch now in slips and earlier Kohli dropped a catch too.

Yeah, that was the main reason and they were lucky that Virat dropped the catch at slip when they already lost the 3 wickets otherwise we can imagine the situation. Bangladesh just need to be extra careful against the Umesh/Shami even with the old ball, they can tackle spinners as subcontinent players knows a thing or two about " How to play spin"

@SaShiRaJaVu already mentioned about the 2nd test (D/N)

Btw Indian Record is not good when they bowl first

Don't forget who is the opponent here. It's Bangladesh. There's little to no chance for Bangladesh to win a test against India. Both the bowling and batting are far worse than India.
I didn't get why Mominul was chosen for the captain against India. Anyway, he had a good fight with the bat though despite some early wickets.
Once again, it's Mushi and Mahmudullah, one of the best partnership in Bangladesh team. Hope they will do some good job with the bat.
Off topic- Do you guys know Mushi has married sister of Mahmudullah's wife? Good partner in places 

[JSRAW]

^^^ @ little mouse

Mominul's dismissal was soft, he was looking good but out of the blue threw away his wicket. You don't expect this kind of approach from sub continent batsman especially against the spin.

Lol I didn't... who married to whom.  

Edit : meanwhile love affair of drop catches continues....

Lol. I wonder what the odds for betting on Bangladesh right now. They would literally need a miracle to avoid a whitewash against the rampaging Indian team(The complete one with all senior players) and the current score is not surprising.

What is surprising is Virat and Rohit dropping a couple of catches which could have put even more pressure on Bangladesh at the moment. Bangladesh might wrap up their innings within 200 at this rate.

I couldn't watch to be honest. Was busy working with my boss. I was expecting something good from Imrul Kayes among the top order. He is one of my favorite player for test and ODI, but this guy don't get much chance after failure

Lol I didn't... who married to whom.  

Mahmudullah married the elder daughter of Mr. Faruk and Mushfiq married the Mahmudullah's sister-in-law, Mr. Faruk's younger daughter.

Hell, Mahmudullah gone.

[Little Mouse]

7th Gone. Mushi and Mehedi. Great bowling from Shami.

Believe it or not but I was pretty sure about Mushfiq's dismissal when I saw the first three balls from Shami in that over. It was almost certain that Shami had created the trap and Mushfiq was slipped into the trap. That's really a beauty from Shami.

Bangladesh is struggling with the bat and if these Indian bowlers were in the T20 series there was no way Bangladesh would have won the first match and thereby i lost my bet . India will put a huge score on the board in their first innings and may be we might see some big centuries and they might win by an innings, Bangladesh will be missing Shakib in the Test series because he could have offered some resistance.

Sky is limit after Indian inning. Virat's already revised the target, now its around 160 runs if tailenders show some resistance.

Its team effort

I felt that they already gave up. not taking advantage after so many drop catches, no one (Mehidy Hasan) interested in taking any review (DRS) at all.

[akhjob]

^ Now it's 60 for Bangladesh
Bangladesh has fixed a target of 151 runs in the first innings. They posted a better targets for India in T20s

What else they can do, that was a out too.

When it comes to test, the environment is totally different. Moreover, Bangladesh had most of the times poor performance in test cricket. And when it's vs India, I don't know why they play more worse.

Indian bowlers have been on fire since the match started, and Bangladesh batsman were left clueless as to which shots should they play to avoid being caught out. @7788bitcoin I feel team India will target a score of 600+ runs, and then they’ll try and pick all wickets of Bangladesh to beat them by an innings.

India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma edging the ball to the keeper and India does have a huge batting line up and i am expecting them to score around 450 runs and then put Bangladesh to bat again and they can win the match easily by an innings, i think Kohli will continue his run making ways even after a long break and i expect two batsman to score centuries to see a huge score like that.

Yeah. We have Aggarwal and Pujara on the crease for sometime now. We still have to see Kohli, Rahane and Saha yet on the bat. Seems like a good ol' Test lineup . Good thing that they are going a full regular lineup this time.

It's easy 500+ is what I think. India have lot of time now that they have settled Bangladesh innings early. With this advantage they can easily take 1-2 days to build up a score of 500.

Unfortunately he was not out but non-striker Liton Das didn't even bother to talk, Mehidy was considering to take DRS but didn't so his loss. Ball tracking showed that ball was missing the stump.

Indian team will try their best to bat 2 full day and i am sure they don't want to bat again after first inning.

[AB de Royse777]

I did not watch a single ball of this Test from the first day but looking at the scoreboard after the day this was something very expected LOL.
Does anyone really expect any better from this Test?

By the way, please give me your input in this post: Re: 🏏🏏 Mutual betting & MutiBet IN SAME MATCH discussion & active Markets 🏆

Bangladesh does not have a very lethal bowling attack to restrict India with the batting line up they have, Agarwal and Pujara still in the crease and then you have the run machine in Kohli and if Bangladesh could take his wicket then they could try their best to silence the rest of the batsman but the tail is so long for India as the number 8 batsman have a century in Test, so it is a big task to restrict all the players.

India is playing decently although they have lost one early wicket. Don't forget that the great wall: Pujara is still in the pitch along with another great test genius Mayank Agarwal. Still Virat Kohli is there. Bangladesh performance is too poor to place a bet since the odd is very low. I would put some if it was even more than or equal to 1.10 for India. 1.03 

Well, if India can bat tomorrow, I guess the score will be more than 400 which is enough to have an innings win  match will be ended within 3 days.

I don't understand why Kohli is playing in this test match. This was an ideal opportunity to give some of the younger players an opportunity to make their test debut for India. That is, unless Kohli wanted to add a few more batting records against his name. To put it frankly, I am getting tired of all these one sided test matches. Last month we had a very one sided series against South Africa. And now this one.
