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.

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