What happened on day 4 in Kanpur?

Ashwin weaved his magic and raised hopes of a result with his two wickets at the end of an action-packed Day 4 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park.

Monday turned out to be an entertaining affair for cricket fans across the world. Despite losing over two days of play due to rain and a damp outfield, India showed intent and tried to press for the result.

In 85 overs played during the entire day, a total of 437 runs were scored and 18 wickets were taken, summing up the action-packed game on offer in Kanpur.

After India declared and managed to take a 52-run lead, Bangladesh openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam stepped up to the plate, looking to end the day with minimal damage. However, skipper Rohit Sharma wasted no time and brought his ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin straight into the attack. He got his reward immediately by trapping Zakir in front of the stumps with a flying delivery. Ashwin continued to display his charm with his artful deliveries. He pitched it perfectly, inviting Hasan to go after the delivery. He accepted the invitation and took a big swing, allowing the ball to sneak past the gap and crash into the stumps.
