The Daily Morning Voice Online Desk: Bangladesh are pushing for their first ever victory over India in Tests after reducing them to 45-4 at stumps on Day 3, with the tourists still 100 runs away from their target at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday. Bangladesh bowled only 23 overs in the third session. But it was enough for their spinners to snap up four wickets on a pitch that is slowly turning into a minefield for batters.

Stand-in skipper KL Rahul (two), Shubman Gill (seven), Cheteshwar Pujara (six) and Virat Kohli (one) are already back at the pavilion for India. Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed three wickets on Day 3 and skipper Shakib Al Hasan took the other wicket to fall. A promoted Axar Patel and night-watchman Jaydev Unadkat are currently holding down the fort for the tourists, batting on 26 and three respectively.

Bangladesh’s three-spin attack of Miraz, Taijul Islam and Shakib had their tails up and will have to come up with the goods on Day four if the Tigers are to pull off a series-levelling win. Earlier, Bangladesh got bundled out for 231 in the second innings, thanks to Liton Das’s 73 and Zakir Hasan’s 51, to set a 145-run target.
