India 339-6 (80 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Just five minutes left for stumps as Mehidy concedes just a single to Ashwin with Jadeja carefully playing out five balls in a row.

Part-time spinner Mominul Haque to bowl the final over of the day. Ashwin hits the first ball through the covers for a single before Jadeja glances the next fine on the leg side for two runs and then takes a single on the leg side.

Some sharp turn and bounce for left-arm spinner Mominul to beat Ashwin on the outside edge.

He solidly defends the last ball to end the first day's play in Chennai.

India finish on a healthy 339/6 in 80 overs at stumps on Day 1. They dominated the post tea session through the spin, smashing 163 runs from 32 overs at more than five per over.

Ashwin stroked a magnificent 102 not out, hitting 10 fours and two sixes in his 112-ball knock to lead India's fine comeback after a flurry of wickets in the morning session.

Jadeja played a good hand with the bat the other hand, hitting 86 not out from 117 balls, with 10 fours and two sixes.

The spin duo put an unbroken stand of 195 from 228 balls for the seventh wicket to put India in control.
