Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque guide Bangladesh to 74/2 during lunch in Kanpur

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Pacer Akash Deep struck twice in overcast conditions to dismiss both openers but Bangladesh fought back through skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto to reach 74 for two at lunch on the opening day of the second test that had a delayed start due to wet outfield, here on Friday. Taking advantage of the pace-friendly conditions, skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bowl, keeping all three pacers in the playing XI.

Deep (2/14) was impressive with his balls of consistent length bouncing and moving away, not giving the batters much choice but to take a safe approach.

Shanto (batting 28, 4s-6) batted with positive intent, if not belligerently, to ensure Bangladesh did not lose. At half time he had Mominul Haque (17 of 48) for the company.

Earlier, India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl in the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur today. Host nation India, who lead the two-match series 1-0, have fielded an unchanged squad.
