Bangladesh lost their third wicket on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test match against India in Mirpur as Jaydev Unadkat removed Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh is 80 runs behind India. Even if losing by an inning seems unlikely, India would still have a manageable target to chase if they can eliminate Bangladesh in the first two sessions. However, the home team has demonstrated throughout this series that they do have the strength in their batting order to keep the Indians on the field for the entire day.
After India lost their first three wickets in the first session and then Virat Kohli early in the second, it was only Day 2's 159-run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer that prevented more embarrassment. India finally lost their innings for 314 runs, gaining an 87-run advantage. Before Stumps, Bangladesh scored seven runs from it without losing a wicket.
