India seamer Umesh Yadav and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed four wickets apiece as the tourists bowled out Bangladesh for a below-par 227 on the opening day of the second and final Test in Mirpur on Thursday. Jaydev Unadkat was picked instead and the left-arm seamer, playing in his second test 12 years after his first, drew first blood by removing Zakir Hasan for 15. Mushfiqur Rahim (26) fell to Unadkat and Litton Das made a run-a-ball 25 before chipping an Ashwin delivery to Rahul at midwicket. Umesh (4-25) dented the Bangladesh lower order and Ashwin removed Mominul and Khaled Ahmed in the space of three balls as Bangladesh wilted in 74 overs. The number three batsman lunged forward but then decided to leave the ball from Ashwin which brushed his glove en route to Rishabh Pant behind the wicket.
