Bangladesh were disciplined at the start but lacked fizz on a pitch that will get slower as the match progresses.
Rahul, whose scores hover between single and three digits in longer format was bowled, when he dragged a fuller delivery from Taskin while attempting a cover drive.
Taskin’s new ball partner Kamrul Islam Rabbi worked up decent pace with his slinging action. Vijay and Pujara were initially cautious as only seven runs came off the first five overs.
The first boundary came in the sixth over bowled by Rabbi when Pujara opened the face of his bat to glide it past point region.
The seasoned duo, who have been involved in some great partnerships over the years decided see off the new ball with first 10 overs yielding only 26 runs.
