Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the first Test in Chennai on Thursday.

"There is some moisture and we want to make use of it. The pitch will be good for the seamers," says Shanto at the toss.

India skipper Rohit Sharma says even he would have loved to bowled first on a pitch which looks a bit soft.

"The conditions are going to be challenging. We are going in three seamers and two spinners," he says.
