After making a brilliant start on Day 1 gainst India, Bangladesh bowlers failed to wrap up the innings courtesy of fine partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin. Ashwin day unbeaten on 102, while Jadeja supported him with an impressive unbeaten knock of 86 runs.

Bangladesh got off to a superb start in the first Test match against India in Chennai, but by the end of play on the opening day they found themselves in a spot of bother.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the resilient partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who salvaged India from a precarious position.

Bangladesh's poor over-rate on Day 1 of the first Test against India was described as abysmal and unacceptable by the commentators.

With the first innings crippled at 144/6, Ravichandran Ashwin scored his 6th Test century and Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten at 86 to close the day's play at 339/6 .
