Rishabh Pant APOLOGIZES to Mohammed Siraj After Wrong DRS Call Denies India Wicket | WATCH
Ind vs Ban: Young Rishabh Pant in the spotlight during a DRS call as he had convinced India captain Rohit Sharma to take it.
Ind vs Ban: India got off to a dream start with the ball on Friday after they were bundled out for 376 in the first Test. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep gave nightmares to the visiting batters before Mohammed Siraj was unleashed. Siraj rapped Zakir Hasan on the pads straightaway, there was a huge appeal and then Rishabh Pant convinced India captain Rohit Sharma not to take the DRS. So the DRS was not taken and then replays showed that it would have been out. Realising that Pant had made a mistake, he was quick to apologize to Siraj. Zakir survived then, but he could not make the most of the reprieve as they was dismissed soon after that episode.

AS IT HAPPENED, Day 2
Meanwhile, pacer Akash Deep's twin strike helped India reduce Bangladesh to an edgy 26 for three at lunch and tighten their grip on the first Test on just the second day of the match here on Friday.
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (15) and Mushfiqur Rahim (4) were at the crease when lunch was taken. The visitors were 350 runs adrift of India's 376 all out after Akash rocked them early (2/5).
India, resuming from overnight 339 for six, were bowled out for 376 in their first innings, a total built around excellent knocks by Ravichandran Ashwin (113, 133 balls, 11x4, 2x6) and Ravindra Jadeja (86, 124 balls, 10x4, 2x6).
Their seventh-wicket alliance was worth 199 runs, which came off 240 balls, resisting the Bangladesh bowlers for 189 minutes across three sessions.
