Day 5's play started with Bangladesh at 26/2 trailing India by 26 runs. The visitors added another ten runs before losing Mominul Haque, who had scored a brilliant century in the first innings. The No.4 batter was sent back by Ashwin for 2(8).
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shadman stitched together a partnership of 55 runs, before the former was bowled by Jadeja. Shadman, who had made resilient half-century, quickly followed his skipper, getting caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully off Akash Deep's bowling.
Litton Das (1), Shakib Al Hasan (0), Mehidy Hasan (9) and Taijul Islam(0) departed cheaply. Though Mushfiqur offered some resistance, the 37-year-old became the last wicket to fall as he was deceived by Bumrah's slower ball.
Bangladesh batted first to make 233 runs. Since seven sessions of play was washed out because of rain and bad light, India came out all guns blazing and smashed 285/9 in 35 overs.
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (72) and KL Rahul (68) starred with the bat, while the likes of Rohit Sharma (23), Virat Kohli (47) and Shubman Gill (39) made handy contributions. Towards the end of fourth day's play Bangladesh lost opener Zakir Hasan and night watchman Hasan Mahmud off Ashwin's bowling.
