Virendar Sehwag scored 56 while Gautam Gambhir scored 68. Gambhir looked set for hitting his 6th consecutive test century but he gloved the ball behind the wickets. He extended his superior form with his 11th consecutive half century in Tests and equaled Sir Vivian Richards in this record.
Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar shared a 222 runs partnership, their 17th 100 plus partnership which is a world record! Dravid found himself uncomfortable today against the short pitched bouncy deliveries. He was hit on the helmet while ducking a short ball from Shahadat Hossain. The blow was hard and Dravid was retired hurt when he was batting on 111.
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Mustafa Kamal, who visited Dravid at the hospital, confirmed that the Indian batsman has suffered two light fractures.
Sachin scored a brilliant 143 from 182 deliveries (his 45th test century). After the loss of Sachin's wicket, India lost the wicket of Murali Vijay who scored an impressive 30 runs. Harbhajan lost his wicket in the last over of the day while skipper MS Dhoni was still on the crease at stumps.

Dhoni receives Test Championship mace
Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni received the Test Championship mace from ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat after leading his team to the pinnacle of ICC Test rankings.
"It is a special feeling to receive this mace. I am taking this on behalf of the team and BCCI. Being an Indian it is a proud moment. We have really worked hard as a team in the last 14 months to get to this position. We want to remain here longer and everything depends on our performance," said the Indian skipper.
India is the third team after Australia and South Africa to become the number Test side, after their 2-0 series victory over Sri Lanka early this month.
The ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat hailed the achievements of Indian cricketers in the recent past and said the team deserved to be on the top with such talented players. "In the last 14 months India has been dominating the world. In October 2008 India was ranked third in ICC Test Championships and in the last 14 months has risen to number one.
"In the ODI also, India is now ranked number two. Then you have Gautam Gambhir at the top of ICC Test batsmen ranking while Dhoni is on top in ODI chart. Dhoni is the ICC ODI player of the year for two consecutive years and chosen captain of both the ICC Test and ODI teams of the year.
"Then you have Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid who have immensely contributed to this transition. It reflects on the talent you can boast of. India has players who after a few years will be considered as legends of the game," Lorgat said.
