The opening Test between India and Bangladesh at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium took a dramatic turn on Day Two when a fierce throw from Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud struck Indian pacer Akash Deep in the back.

After India's impressive first innings total of 376, Bangladesh 's hopes of a strong response were quickly dampened by the Indian pace attack. Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood, dismissing Shadman Islam with a searing delivery that left him bewildered.

Akash Deep, who headed into the contest after a superb outing in the Duleep Trophy, knocked the stumps twice in a row.
