India pacer Akash Deep joined the morning party after Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood on Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh.

Up against a gritty Bangladesh side that came into the Test series on the back of successful 2-0 series triumph in Pakistan, Indian pacers proved that they are class apart with three brilliant dismissals at Chepauk on Friday.

First Bumrah sent Shadman Islam packing before Akash Deep delivered two identical deliveries to shatter the stumps of Zakir Hasan and Mominul Haque.

However, the pacer couldn't convert the twin dismissal into a hat-trick. Akash Deep, who earned Team India nod after a brilliant performance in Duleep Trophy, breached the defence of Hasan and Haque with two unplayable deliveries.
