Zaheer (3-48) and Ishant (2-47) continued to be impressive on the third day as they extracted movement and bounce off the pitch to rattle the Bangladesh batting.

Bangladesh trail by 125 runs with Mushfiqur Rahim on 8 and Mahmudullah at 14 at the lunch break.

Resuming at 59 for three, Mohammad Ashraful (2) and Raqibul Hasan could add nine runs before Ashraful edged an Ishant delivery to Rahul Dravid at first slip.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan (17) paced up the scoring with four boundaries in the next four overs and just when he looked to settle down he slashed Zaheer over gully, only to be caught by Virender Sehwag.

Sreesanth came back to end Raqibul’s resistance, who was caught behind for 17.
