Amit Mishra took four wickets as India beat Bangladesh by 113 runs in the first Test in Chittagong to take a 1-0 lead in the two-Test. Chasing an improbable 415 runs to win, Bangladesh were bowled out for 301 with wicket keeper Mushfiqur Rahim top scoring for his side with 101. Sachin Tendulkar was adjudged the Man of the Match for his century in the first innings. Mishra took the last four wickets to fall as the second session was extended by 30 minutes. Mishra first struck in the third over after lunch having Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan caught by Indian captain Virender Sehwag at silly point and soon after a fired up Zaheer Khan had Mahmudullah caught behind by Dinesh Karthik to reduce Bangladesh to 170/7. Mishra then struck again when he clean bowled Shahadat Hossain with a googly to take India a step closer to victory.
Mishra them removed Shafiul Islam by taking a return catch before Rahim got to his maiden century -- the fastest hundred by a Bangladeshi batsman in Test cricket. But soon after, Mishra had Rahim caught by substitute Pragyan Ojha at long-off to win the Test. Earlier, Ishant took the first two wickets to fall on the fifth day dismissing Mohammad Ashraful and Raqibul Hasan.
