Bengal and Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Akash Deep picked up back-to-back wickets in his second over to reduce Bangladesh to 26 for 3 in reply to India's 376.

The stage was set as Ravichandran Ashwin walked in to bat for India on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh, in Chennai. India's top order had been destroyed and the scoreboard read 144/6.
