Dhaka, Jun 13 : India have declared and Bangladesh will have a lot of catching up to do. Stay tuned for the Bangladesh response in a little while.
Shakib and Jubair were the only wicket-takers with the former claiming four among the top five batters. Shakib forced the batsmen to commit errors while Jubair relied on spin and a few variations. Rahane, for the second time in Test matches, got out in the nineties. He played some lovely looking strokes during his 103-ball 98. A result from this stage looks very grim and the forecast isn't looking great either. It wouldn't be a surprise if Kohli opts for an overnight declaration. Will he declare or will he wait for the team to get past 500 runs? We will find out soon.

Day 4: Good morning and a very hearty welcome to the penultimate day's coverage of the only Test between Bangladesh and India. After rain prevented the proceedings on day 2, India employed an aggressive approach on day 3 by scoring runs at a rapid pace. Only 285 balls were bowled on day 3 with the last session being washed off without a ball being bowled. Openers Dhawan and Vijay pushed the opening stand to 283/0 before Dhawan threw his wicket away in quest of quick runs. Rohit and Saha failed to capitalize on a great opportunity while the Indian skipper failed to pick a wrong 'un from the 19-year old leggie Jubair Hossain.

Just 47.3 overs for the day. India moved the match forward, reaching 462/6. Dhawan made 173, Vijay stroked his way to a sublime 150 but the innings of the day came from Ajinkya Rahane, who chipped in with a 103-ball 98. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed, as did Wriddhiman Saha. Will India declare overnight? We have already lost close to two full days of cricket. The onus is on India to move this match forward. But for that to happen, it has to stop raining first. The forecast for the remaining two days isn't great either.
