Drizzling, not a great news at the start of Day 2
It is drizzling and the start of the play on Day 2 is likely to be delayed. The forecast suggested 80 per cent chance of rain, as opposed to 92 per cent on Friday. There is hope but the rain has to stop. The covers came off for a bit but the rain resumed again.

Mominul Haque solid for Bangladesh
The wicket wasn't doing much off the surface for the bowlers and despite the spongy bounce, batters got value for their shots and if they played through the line, negotiating both the seamers and spinners wasn't that difficult and the former Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque played well for his unbeaten 40 and the visitors would want to continue for the longest.

India choose to bowl but no great returns
India opted to bowl first in the hope that there would be some help for the seamers early on given it was overcast throughout the day and the rain was lurking around. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj wenyt wicketless in their first spells before Akash Deep broke the jinx with a couple of wickets. R Ashwin also chipped in with the wicket of Bangladesh skipper Najmul Shanto but the batters were able to have their say and if the weather allows, India will hope for a much better outing on Day 2.
