Bangladesh gained Test status in 2000 and though India played in their

inaugural Test, for some reason they just didn't call the neighbours over

for a pow-wow until now !

nothing will change ?

This will be a total mis match  :-[

Another series. Another double-hundred for Virat Kohli. The opposition buried under a mountain of runs. The theme first unfolded in Antigua in July 2016, then in Indore and Mumbai. On Friday in Hyderabad against a listless Bangladesh attack, Kohli became the first batsman to hit double-hundreds in four consecutive Test series. By the time they declared at 687 for 6, India had become the first side to rack up 600-plus scores in three-consecutive innings.

India's day became sweeter when Umesh Yadav dismissed Soumya Sarkar for 15 with a 142kph ripper. Sarkar was unperturbed by the outswinger, but was done in by a full ball, which snaked in off the seam. He attempted a limp drive and Wriddhiman Saha threw himself to his right to collect the ball. India challenged the on-field not-out decision with UltraEdge picking up a thin deflection off the toe end. Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque hung on to take Bangladesh to 41 for 1 in 14 overs at stumps.

Bangladesh trail by 646 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Stumps, Day 2.

Reduced to 109 for 4, Bangladesh recovered to 322 for 6 on day three in Hyderabad

Bangladesh trail by 365 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings.
