Day three of any Test is said to be a moving day and the first of the two Tests between India and Bangladesh at the Chepauk in Chennai isn't expected to be any different. The home side cemented their dominance in the first two days, resulting in a mammoth lead of 308. With Shubman Gill set at the crease and Rishabh Pant giving a glimpse what might come, the tourists could be in for a long day.
Bangladesh will only have themselves to blame after managing only 149 on the board even as the conditions were decent for batting. After a promising performance with the ball in the first innings, the Tigers have once again shown it in the 2nd, nipping out Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli cheaply. However, they need a massive effort again on day 3, with India threatening to take the match away quickly.
