On the penultimate day, India bowled out Bangladesh for 388 in their first innings, then declared their second innings 159/4.


Chasing 458 for a unlikely win, Bangladesh were 103/3 at Day 4 stumps.


They need 356 runs more to win their greatest match, and India need another seven wickets, for yet another win.
