The Tigers’ first innings was also a shambolic batting performance as they managed to bat only 58.3 overs before folding. India finished day two in a strong position, scoring 493 for the loss of six wickets in 114 overs, and with a commanding first-innings lead of 343. Imrul scored just six, much like the first innings, and never looked comfortable in his 13-ball stay at the crease. But Liton, who was batting well, could not make it count and score big as he got caught and bowled against off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for 35. The two teams will lock horns with each other in the second and final Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, starting Thursday.
