The truth is, however, that this first Test is unlikely to run for the full five days. Having been reduced to 144/6 on the first morning, the hosts recovered thanks to trusty spin twins Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. The latter struck a superb century at his home ground to help take the total past 375 and effectively pen the writing on the wall.
From there, Jasprit Bumrah has been doing Jasprit Bumrah things, taking four wickets in Bangladesh's reply. The tourists failed to get even 150 on the board, leaving India the chance to build a hefty lead heading into the weekend. Bangladesh will need something special from here if they stand a chance of recording a first ever Test win over the home side.
Near miracles aren't beyond the Tigers these days, though, and they'll be clinching to the memory of the 2-0 Test series win they recorded in Pakistan in recent weeks. But with Subman Gill and returning Rishabh Pant looking to pile on the runs, the likes of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taskin Ahmed will need to step up to secure a total that their batters can realistically chase down in the fourth innings.
