India declared their record-breaking first innings at 285-9 in 34.4 overs, took lead of a 52-run lead over Bangladesh and forced the visitors to bat under fading light during the final session of Day 4 in the second Test at Green Park Stadium.


Bangladesh had to face a tricky 11 overs before stumps and reached 26-2, still 26 runs in arrears, after Ravichandran Ashwin trapped Zakir Hasan lbw for 10 and then bowled nightwatchman Hasan Mahmud for four.


Shadman Islam was on seven and Mominul Haque, who made an unbeaten 107 earlier in Bangladesh's first innings, was yet to score.


After Yashasvi Jaiswal's explosive 72 off 51 balls, KL Rahul followed with a blistering 68 off 43, while other batters contributed with rapid knocks. During this innings, India shattered world records for the fastest team 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250.


Bangladesh's bowlers struggled, giving away runs at a rate of 8.22 per over. Spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan each claimed four wickets, but their efforts did little to curb India's aggressive onslaught.

Earlier Jadeja took the final Bangladesh wicket of Khaled Ahmed, caught and bowled, to reach his milestone during the afternoon session. Mominul Haque was left stranded on 107 not out.


Jadeja came into his 74th Test with 299 wickets and became the seventh Indian bowler to reach 300 on a list headed by Anil Kumble with 619 Test victims.


Bangladesh had resumed at 107-3 under clear skies after rain and a soggy outfield had washed out the whole of Saturday and Sunday.


Left-hander Mominul, who began the day on 40, reached his 13th Test hundred before lunch with a boundary off spinner Ashwin, removing his helmet and bowing as he celebrated.


Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah began with an incisive spell, bowling Mushfiqur Rahim on 11 with a delivery that pitched and nipped back to rattle the top of off-stump.


Rohit brought the crowd alive with a remarkable one-hand grab at mid-off to send Litton Das back to the pavilion off Siraj for 13.


Siraj then hung on to a catch with his left hand while running back from mid-off as Ashwin dismissed Shakib Al Hasan for nine.


Only 35 overs had been possible on Friday's opening day before the umpires took the players off for bad light nine overs after lunch.


India lead the two-match series 1-0 after they won the opener in Chennai by 280 runs.
