India vs Bangladesh pink Test: Pacers rattle Bangladesh early

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to bat

Kolkata: Indian pacers Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma have left Bangladesh reeling very early in the Test match with five wickets inside 15 overs after the visitors opted to bat first against Virat Kohli-led outfit in the first-ever Day-night Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Ishant draws the first wicket before Umesh rattled the visitors by claiming two wickets in 3 balls.

Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque opted to bat first against India in both the country's first-ever day-night Test match, which is being played at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium.

After winning the toss, Virat Kohli said, "We would have batted first as well. Decent grass cover on it, but it's a hard pitch. With the pink ball there will be something for the first 15 overs. This is another opportunity for us to come and execute our skills."

Kohli further said, "The challenge is to adapt quickly to the ball. It travels fast and it's difficult to control. We are fulfilling the responsibility of debuting with the pink ball. We have the same team from the first Test."

Newly appointed Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque said, "We will bat first, the wicket is dry and hard, so that's why we want to bat first. It's a brave decision we feel. It's a great opportunity for everyone. Two changes for us. Al Amin comes in place of Taijul and Nayeem Hasanin for Mehidy Hasan."

Virat Kohli-led Team India have taken an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match Test series, which is also part of the World Test championship.
