Among the Indian bowlers, pacer Mohammed Shami was the wrecker-in-chief with figures of 3-27 in 13 overs. He dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan off successive deliveries to end the second session at 140-7. Ravichandran Ashwin also picked up two crucial wickets, including the prized scalp of Bangladeshi skipper. His first wicket of the day was also his 250th overall on home conditions. He joined the likes of veteran cricketers Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh to become only the third Indian spinner to achieve the milestone.
