Taijul Islam and Syed Khaled Ahmed struck early in the morning to power Bangladesh ahead in the first session of the first day of the opener of the two-match series against India at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, on Wednesday.
Taijul scalped two while Khaled took one wicket to reduce the visitors to 85-3 at lunch.
The left hand off-spinner brought the initial breakthrough for the home side after he removed Shubman Gill for 20 followed by Lokesh Rahul who was dismissed by Khaled on 22.
Although Virat Kohli looked assured to curb the early damage, however, he failed as Taijul showed him the way to the dressing room, trapping leg before for 1.
Earlier, the hosts were sent to bowl after they lost the toss.
