However, Hasan Mahmud quickly disrupted their plans, taking four wickets regularly. Yashasvi managed to complete his half-century but soon lost his wicket.
India was in trouble, but Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin steadied the ship, forming a crucial partnership. Both players completed their half-centuries, but Jadeja eventually fell to Taskin Ahmed.
Ashwin, however, continued his fine form and completed a century, helping India post a total of 376 runs.
