1st Test: Zakir And Shadman Take Bangladesh To 56/0 At Tea In 515 Chase
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Chasing 515, Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam remained unbeaten on 32 and 21 respectively to take Bangladesh to 56/0 at tea on day three of the first Test against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. The second session previously saw Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant slam their respective centuries as India declared at 278/4.
With the pitch being good for batting, Zakir got going by taking two boundaries off Jasprit Bumrah in the opening over. Shadman brought out a square punch on backfoot to hit a four off Mohammed Siraj before Zakir smacked him for a six and two fours – a pull over square leg was followed by a straight drive and cover drive.
After Shadman cut Akash Deep for a boundary, Zakir danced down the pitch to hit Ravichandran Ashwin for a boundary over long-on, before tea break was taken. Before this, Gill, after bagging a duck in the first innings, led India’s charge with a fine 119 not out, laced with ten fours and four sixes.
