12.29 – Ricky Ponting (172 in 14 innings)

Lunch break in Kanpur as the first session saw 31 overs and Bangladesh batters managed to score 98 runs and lost three wickets. Mominul Haque completed his 13th Test century and Mehidy Hasan Miraz is accompanying him at the crease.

Mominul Haque completed his century with a boundary on Ashwin’s delivery in the 66th over. This is his second away Test ton. He became only the second visiting batter to score a century in Kanpur in 10 Tests played here.

Mominul Haque is the only batter of the Bangladesh team who is continuously finding gaps and making runs. The visitors are six wickets down and Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a capable batter. Both are looking good at the crease but Indian bowlers will try to get one more wicket before the lunch break.

Mohammed Siraj took a sensational catch to send Shakib Al Hasan back to the pavilion. Ravichandran Ashwin knew Shakib was going to an aerial shot against him and he allowed him to play in the air. But the ball was not in the arc of Shakib hence he misjudged that shot. Siraj was not at the right place to complete the catch but he managed with one hand somehow.

Mohammed Siraj came to bowl the 50th over of the inning and he dismissed Litton Das on the fourth delivery thanks to a brilliant catch by the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. He took a one-handed blinder at mid-off to send Litton Das back to the pavilion. Shakib Al Hasan is the new batter at the crease.

Mohammed Siraj was introduced into the attack in place of Akash Deep. Jasprit Bumrah kept building the pressure and Siraj got the wicket on the first delivery of his spell on Day 4. But Mominul took a review immediately and the ball seemed to miss the bat and glove. Mominul completed his half-century with a boundary in the same over.

Bumrah came to bowl his third over of the day and Rahim got a boundary on the first delivery after an inside edge. Bumrah kept the length same and dismantled his off-stump on the next delivery. Litton Das is the new batter at the crease.

Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah opened the bowling attack for India and both are trying their best to strike early on Day 4 but Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim are experienced batters and the Bangla duo are not taking any risks while batting. Only one run has been made in the play of five overs and no Bangla batter looked in a hurry to score.

Day 4 action started on time with Indian seamer Akash Deep opening the attack. He started with a maiden over. Jasprit Bumrah came to bowl the next over and he didn’t give any run. Bangladesh batters Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque are out in the middle.

98 overs are to be bowled on Day 4 and the same will be tried on Day 5 if conditions allowed. So, around 190 overs are still left in the match and we can hope for a result in Kanpur.

After being under the covers for more than two days, there is a little dampness on the pitch. But it is still a good wicket to bat on. The outfield remains a concern but the ground conditions are expected to improve.

The ground is ready for the action of Day 4 after a break of two days. 98 overs are to be bowled on the fourth day.
