India set Bangladesh a target of 415 runs to win the first cricket Test in Chittagong on Wednesday.

Using the early movement of the ball, Ishant struck twice in the first hour conceding just 11 runs from his seven-over uninterrupted spell to give his side the stranglehold in the Test.

Soon after, Sehwag, who introduced himself towards the close of morning session in place of pacer S Sreesanth, dismissed opener Tamim Iqbal (52) to reduce Bangladesh to 135/5.

Tamim was out three overs before the lunch interval as he went for an unnecessary slash off a Sehwag delivery which shaped away after pitching on the off and the thick edge went straight to Rahul Dravid's safe hands at slip.

Tamim, who resumed the day on 23, faced 122 balls and hit six boundaries in his 52.

The early morning fog ensured that the pacers get movement in the first hour and Ishant removed Mohammad Ashraful for 27 in the fourth over of the day to reduce Bangladesh to 79/3.

Bangladesh, who resumed the day on 67/2, were 94/4 just before drinks break with Ishant striking again in his sixth over, trapping Raqibul Hossain leg before for a 30-ball 13.

Tamim started aggressively, hitting two fours in the second over of Sreesanth. He reached his fifty towards the lunch break from 106 balls with the help of six fours.

Play started one hour later than the scheduled 9 am due to foggy conditions for the fifth day in a row.
