India complete series sweep against Bangladesh

India have beaten Bangladesh by seven wickets in the rain-truncated second Test in Kanpur to complete a 2-0 series sweep.

Spinner Ravindra Jadeja and seamer Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc in the extended morning session when Bangladesh lost eight wickets to be bowled out for a paltry 146.

It left India needing 95 on the final day and they did it with more than a session to spare losing three wickets in the process.

Yashasvi Jaiswal led their chase with a fluent 51, his second half-century of the match, while Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 29.

This was India’s record-extending 18th consecutive Test series victory on home soil.

Earlier, Bangladesh suffered an early ***** after resuming on 2-26 in a match where two-and-a-half days were lost to bad weather.

Ravichandran Ashwin (3-50) claimed his third wicket of the innings when he had Mominul Haque caught at leg slip for two.

Shadman Islam (50) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (19) offered brief resistance with a 55-run stand before poor shot selection and smart bowling changes by India led to their dismissals.

Jadeja (3-34) bowled Shanto after the batter fluffed a reverse sweep he should not have attempted in the first place considering the tricky situation they were in.

Shadman completed his 50 before playing away from his body, edging seamer Akash Deep to Yashasvi Jaiswal at the lone slip.

Left-arm spinner Jadeja removed Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan in successive overs and seamer Bumrah sent back Mehidy Hasan Miraz to pin Bangladesh.

Mushfiqur Rahim (37) hung around for a bit before Bumrah (3-17) removed him with the final delivery of the session.
