Dhaka, June 13: Rain forced an early call- off of the fourth day's play between Bangladesh and India as the hosts fought at 111 for three in their first innings in 30.1 overs that were bowled in the day on Saturday.

Imrul Kayes (59*) and Shakib Al Hasan (0*) will resume proceedings on Sunday.

 

Spinners R Ashwin (2-30) and Harbhajan Singh (1-23), who made a comeback with this one-off Test against the neighbouring nation, took early wickets and send Bangladesh to the defensive mode.

 

Bangladesh have lost wickets of Tamim Iqbal (19), Mominul Haque (30) and Mushfiqur Rahim (2).

 

Kayes played the Indian bowlers with confidence and hit 10 boundaries in his 98-ball knock.

 

India had earlier declared at 462 for six in their first innings.
