Taskin is back into the attack as Jaiswal drives the first ball straight back as Shanto makes a diving stop to save some runs.
He keeps out the next couple of ducks before avoiding the bouncer and blocks the last two balls to plays out a maiden over.
Spin back as Mehidy Hasan comes back for a new spell. He bowls on a good line just on and around the off-stump and Rahul is happy to continue his dogged approach for another maiden over.
Still some assistance for the pacers. This time Taskin gets the ball to zip across to beat Jaiswal on the outside edge. The left-hander gets the next ball off the middle, crunching the full delivery off the front foot through the covers for a four to close in on his fifty.
He avoids the bouncer before steering the last ball behind square on the off-side for a couple.
In the next over, Rahul rocks back to punch the short ball from Mehidy in the gap through the covers for three runs.
Jaiswal hits the next ball to long-off for a single to bring up his fifty from 95 balls, having hit eight fours.
He continues his dream run, with atleast a fifty in his last six Tests. In his 10 Test career so far, he has already gone past 1000 with two double hundreds and a century, along with five fifties.
Jaiswal looking quite solid as he defends the first five balls from Taskin before taking one from the last ball.
India go into the drinks break at 133/4 in 36 overs, with Jaiswal on 51 and Rahul on 10.
