Wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim (81*) and Mehedi Hasan (51*) put unbeaten 87-run knock as Bangladesh fought back after early jolts. Trailing the hosts by 365 runs, Bangladesh were 322/6 at tea of the one-off Test at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad on Saturday.
Earlier, all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan scored impressive 82 runs off 103 balls at the strike rate of 79.61. He, along with Rahim, put on 107-run partnership for the fifth-wicket.
Shakib kept the Deccan crowd off their feet, hitting 14 boundaries. However, he stepped out of his crease to loft the delivery by off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (1/77), which was well caught by Yadav at mid-on.
