IND vs BAN, 1st Test Day 2 Live: Here’s what Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of Day 2

(How difficult was batting yesterday morning?) “I wouldn’t say that difficult, but I was just thinking of my plan and thinking how to bat on that time on that wicket. I was trying to enjoy the wicket and enjoy the game. The way I was leaving the ball, it was quite good for me. (Did batting get easier as the day progressed?) I don’t think so, I was thinking I just needed to focus on each ball and watch the ball carefully. I was thinking about where I can score if I have the opportunities and I was just going for it.”

“There was so much swing on offer, there was enough seam movement on offer, there was enough spice to keep everybody interested. Weather – we are starting at 30, it’s going to get hotter as the day progresses. With the heat, we saw what happened in the last session. It was very easy to bat on, runs came in a flurry. Today at the start, the new ball will be taken by the Bangladesh team and they’ll make use of the conditions which is considerably different to last morning which had a lot more juice for the fast bowlers. If India get through the first half an hour, we can expect a big score from both these batters and probably the lower order can chip in as well,” Dinesh Karthik and Murali Kartik’s pitch report.

Bangladesh could bowl only 80 overs in the entire day. They bowled 23 overs in the first session, 25 in the second and 32 in the final session on Day 1.

“Bangladesh will have bowled less than 80 overs in spite of the extra half hour added on. It has to be unacceptable,” wrote cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle on X, formerly Twitter.

While Bangladesh have lost their hold in the game, a bigger issue must be bothering the side as it was 10 overs short of the target despite getting a half-an-hour extension in bowling. This might see the side getting penalised by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The Indian batting lineup got shaken by Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud on the opening day of the first Test. The 24-year-old pacer troubled the Indian batters and scalped four precious wickets in quick successions. He removed the likes of Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), Virat Kohli (6), and Rishabh Pant (39). He will now aim to continue with his powerful spell and bundle out India at the earliest.

It was the first session on Day 1 that saw Bangladesh do the bulk of the damage with the ball, sending India’s top order crumbling. It would be important for R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja to withstand the early advantage on Day 2, look for a first innings total around 450 runs.
