Pacers with pink ball put India in command in Kolkata Test bundling Bangladesh out for 106

Bangladesh have been dismissed for just 106 as Indian pacers led by Ishant Sharma wreaked havoc with the pink cherry in their hand in the day-night Test match in Kolkata.

Mohammed Shami wrapped it up as Abu Jayed was the last man to go in the 31st over before halfway through the second session of Day 1 at the Eden Gardens on Friday.

It is Bangladesh’s second lowest innings score against India, the No. 1 Test playing nation in ICC rankings now, after 91 in the second innings of their inaugural Test against the South Asian neighbours.

After Liton Das and Nayeem Hasan were struck on the helmet by Mohammed Shami’s bouncers, Bangladesh were forced to make two concussion replacements, the first such incidence since the ICC allowed concussion replacements in all formats in August.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam are playing the remainder of the Test in place of Liton and Nayeem.

Sharma’s five-wicket haul in exchange for 22 runs, his best at home, has put the hosts in a commanding position.

He took the wickets of captain Mominul Haque and Mohammad Mithun before they could score in the 11th over before Shami sent back Mushfiqur Rahim for another duck in the next over.

Umesh Yadav did the early damage in the first session by picking up three wickets while Shami accounted for two after Mominul won the toss and chose to bat first.

India lead the series 1-0 after winning the first Test by an innings and 130 runs inside three days.

Among the crowd in Kolkata was Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who rang the bell of the first day-night Test between the two nations.
