Ashwin to Mushfiqur, out Caught by Rahul!! Superb forward-diving catch at mid-on and the fingers are under the ball according to the third ump. Mushfiqur wanted to attack Ashwin and he comes down the track to drive, can't keep it down, Rahul dives forward and takes it with the fingers under the ball. Clean catch and a double failure for Mushfiqur in this game. Mushfiqur c Rahul b Ashwin 13(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Ashwin to Mushfiqur, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Anna got no chill

50 for Shanto.

Ab out ho jao

The umpires have a word as it's pretty dark. The lightmeter is out and Rohit wants to know if he can bowl spin. Siraj, in fact, is ready to bowl spin as well.

The lights are on. The umpires now have a chat with each other. Oh, they are asking the players to walk off. Rohit seemingly suggests they can bowl spin. Siraj then jogs in and mimes bowling spin, and he is twirling the ball in his hands. All said and done, they are going off for bad light.

DK on air thinks that he doesn't see the light getting better, and he also spots the groundstaff getting the covers on. Now the umpires seem to be telling the groundstaff to not put the covers on.

Plenty of smiles in the Indian camp but the players are walking off for bad light! The groundsmen bring the hessian cover as there are some dark clouds hovering over the ground. They've been asked not to cover the pitch by the umpires who are still standing near the pitch. "Menacingly dark clouds blowing in from the beach side," informs Kaushik from the stadium

It's stumps on day three! Light won't get better. In fact, the big covers are coming on now. Another day dominated by India.Pant and Gill got off to a watchful start in the first hour before shifting gears. Both of them registered their centuries and Rohit Sharma declared with 2.5 days remaining in the Test, setting the visitors a target of 515. Bangladesh, who lasted just one and a half sessions in the first innings, started on a good note. The openers remained unscathed before tea and forged a fifty partnership. But both of them were dismissed in quick succession in the final session. Jaiswal's blinder resulted in Zakir falling to Bumrah for the second time in the match. Post that, Ashwin - who went wicketless in the first innings - picked three wickets. Mominul was cleaned up by a beautiful delivery

if bangladesh had batted well in the 2nd innings, this test match would have been a close one.

I don't think Bangladesh would have reached 500+ even if they played good

yeah its not possible tbh. bangladesh will never score 500+ in 4th innings, forget bangladesh its tough for big teams too. thats why i say if bangladesh had batted better in the 2nd inngs and added 150-200 runs more the target wont have been massive like 500.

India's catching has been excellent throughout this Test. And there's a lot more help for the spinners. Ashwin troubled the batters with spin and bounce. Shanto, though, has played the offspinner really well. The captain batted positively and hit three sixes, all against Ashwin to bring up a fine half-century. With two days left in this Test, the equation is 357 runs vs 6 wickets! Expect more help for the spinners as the game progresses. India are mighty favourites to wrap up the match tomorrow. Let's see if Bangladesh can put up a fight. There's forecast for some rain as well. Tune in tomorrow to find out how the action unfolds
