Ishant struck with his first ball, a short delivery down the leg side which opener Imrul Kayes clipped behind to captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Zaheer then clean bowled Tamim Iqbal in the next over as Bangladesh, who had won the toss and opted to bat, lost their first two wickets with just four runs on the scoreboard.

Zunaed Siddique was next to go for seven, caught behind by Dhoni after another short ball from Zaheer down the leg side.

Fourth out was Raqibul Hassan, caught by Rahul Dravid at second slip for four after he tried to drive a full delivery from Ishant.

Former captain Mohammad Ashraful (39) put up some resistance for Bangladesh before he charged down the wicket and missed a ball from spinner Pragyan Ojha, Dhoni completing the stumping.

India lead the two-match series 1-0 after the tourists wrapped up a 113-run win in Chittagong on Thursday.
