Match Discussion
14:43 Local Time, 09:13 GMT -- Tea: Phew! That was thrill-a-minute batting from India's batters. Jaiswal set the tone in the very first over and if the intent was not clear then Rohit smashing his first two balls for sixes made it very clear. India were on the charge and the opening pair brought up the 50 in just 3 overs. Mehidy was brought on and he broke the partnership by going past Rohit's defence. But the runs continued to come at a rapid pace as Jaiswal and Gill kept finding the boundaries at will. India even registered the fastest 100 in Test cricket, getting there in 10.1 overs. Mahmud came back for his second spell and got one to stay low to Jaiswal. Pant walked in at 4 and already survived a caught-behind decision. India trail by just 95 runs.

What will they do once they go past Bangladesh's 233? We'll find in the next session. Back soon..

2.43pm That's tea then, and India have waltzed to 138 in just 16 overs, going at close to nine an over. It was Rohit's sixes from his very first ball that set the tone for this carnage. He led from the front, powered India past 50 in just three overs and India broke the record for the fastest fifty and 100 in Test cricket. An 11-ball 23 from him, a 31-ball fifty from Jasiwal and it's Gill and a promoted Pant taking India forward now. They're just 95 runs behind, 40 overs to go in the day, where is this Test headed?

Status before tea break.....
2:58pm Time for the final session then. A two-hour session this but, light-permitting, we can have an additional 30 minutes as well
Big smiles on the faces of Gill and Pant as they walk out from the dressing room for the final session of the day. We've still got 40 overs left but it's hard to see them getting those in. By any account, India should be well clear of Bangladesh by stumps if there's no dramatic collapse from here. They might even declare, who knows.
