Led by R Ashwin's all-round heroics, India hammered Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first of a two-Test series in Chennai. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took 9 wickets between them to bundle Bangladesh out for 234 on Sunday morning.

Rishabh Pant struck a century on his return to test cricket as India reduced Bangladesh to 158-4 at stumps on day three of the first test.

Bangladesh started Day Four with six wickets in hand and the experienced duo of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan at the crease. The two negotiated the first hour of play with the remaining wickets intact. India's skipper Rohit Sharma then deployed Ashwin to tackle the two left-handers.
