Rishabh Pant struck a century on his return to test cricket as India reduced Bangladesh to 158-4 at stumps on day three of the first test.

Ravichandran Ashwin took six wickets in Bangladesh's second innings as India cruised to victory by 280 runs in the first Test in Chennai. Ashwin returned figures of 6-88 in the fourth innings to seal victory early on day four.

India took a little over three days to bring Bangladesh down to earth, dishing out a 280-run hammering in the series opener on Sunday to maintain their formidable home record. Bangladesh arrived fresh from a 2-0 series sweep in Pakistan earlier this month but in India they confronted rivals they had not beaten in their previous 13 attempts.
