India are in pole position for a victory despite the Bangla Tigers taking the 1st Test into Day 5.

Chasing a  513-run target, the hosts need 241 more runs to win on the final day while Team India are just four wickets away from victory

Axar Patel managed to snaffle 3 wickets as Bangladesh were restricted to 272 for 6 at stumps on Day 4. 

Bangladeshi openers put together a 124-run stand which frustrated India earlier in the day, with Zakir Hasan recording a century on his debut for the Bangla Tigers.

Even as wickets did fall as the day progressed, Shakib Al Hasan kept India in search of another breakthrough. Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Kuldeep Yadav picked a wicket each on Saturday as well.

While the hosts managed to put up a tough resistance on the penultimate day, with just 4 wickets needed, India are in the driver's seat going into the final day.
