Updated: Thursday, 21 Jan 2010 12:45
Medium-pacer Shahadat Hossain and left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan completed five-wicket hauls as India were bowled out for 243 on day two of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong.
The start of play was again delayed by 90 minutes due to fog and bad light and, when play eventually resumed, Sachin Tendulkar continued his lone battle.
Tendulkar an undefeated 105, his 44th Test century, but Bangladesh wrapped up India's innings for the addition of only 30 runs.
However, India boosted their chances with three crucial wickets near the end of the final session.
Bangladesh finished on 59-3, 184 runs behind India's total.
Tendulkar, 76 at the start of the day, hit Shakib for a four and a six of successive overs to reach 93, but then lost overnight partner Ishant Sharma to Shahadat.
Ishant edged an angled delivery to wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim, to present Shahadat with his third five-wicket haul in Tests.
Tendulkar continued of offer resistance in the company of last man Sreesanth and clubbed Shahadat for consecutive boundaries to reach his century.
India's innings ended when Shakib scalped Sreesanth, the Bangladesh captain's sixth five-wicket haul in Tests.
