9.00am India have declared overnight. Sensible decision because it allows the fast bowlers to exploit the early-morning conditions. Something Bangladesh, in their current mindset, would be dreading. They'll need to make 343 to avoid an innings defeat. At the moment, taking the game into the fourth day would seem like a win.
8.50am Welcome to the moving day of this Test possibly the final day. Will Bangladesh show some fight or wilt? Will India declare straightaway or decide to tease the visitors a little more? One thing's for sure: it can't get worse than this for Bangladesh. I'm Shashank Kishore ready to bring you all the action from day three along with Hemant Brar.
Imrul Kayes, who put down a sitter of Mayank Agarwal at slip on 32 - and am sure he's been reminded of it a numerous times - has an opportunity to dig in and make amends for that missed opportunity. The same applies to all their young batsmen. As for the spinners, if I was Daniel Vettori, I'd already be preparing them for two full days of training in Indore should the game end today.
Coach Russell Domingo has already had a tough initiation as coach, but he's clear of the player he wants who can make a difference to this line-up.

5.10pm The only thing that has gone Bangladesh's way in the first two days is that they won the toss. Since then, it's been all India. Join us tomorrow to see what India opt to do in the morning. Till then, on behalf of everyone at ESPNcricinfo, this is Sreshth Shah signing off.
5pm And the crowd applauds India's effort as the two batsmen walk out. Doubt we'll know today about the declaration. India added 407 runs today in 88 overs. For Bangladesh, it was a very frustrating day, except for Abu Jayed who took the first four India wickets.
The first session saw Pujara completing his fifty but falling soon after. Then the Indore crowd was silenced by Kohli's duck. But thereafter, Rahane, Jadeja and Umesh entertained the fans in the next three sessions, but the day belonged to Mayank Agarwal. Struck his second Test double ton inside eight Tests. Only Vinod Kambli (5) got it in quicker time. For comparison, Sir Don Bradman reached two double tons in 13 Tests. Here's the man of the moment for a chat. "Thank you," says Mayank Agarwal to Deep Dasgupta on Star Sports. "I changed my mindset in 2016. Dropped my fear of failure. After that, I only got hungry and hungry. There have been times when I've not got runs, so when the going is good, just thinking of making it big. Really enjoyed the time since I made the Test team. Playing in Melbourne was special, and having contributed to the series win Down Under was a top feeling. That's the feeling which has stuck with me. It's the feeling that makes the team go out there and win tournaments. Very important to play the game ball by ball. Rahane's a senior pro, so he was guiding me. We had lost two wickets, so idea was to be cautious, but not too cautious. Once we got a good partnership, it was all about building. I was watching the ball well, so thought 'why not' for the big shots. We haven't spoken about declaration, but we are in the drivers' seat."
Umesh on strike. If he hits a six, he'll break his own record of fastest to 30 runs in a Test innings
Now that he's reached fifty, crowd will want Jadeja to take a single first ball

Shishank Dahiya: "The other day Umesh broke an all time record of fastest 30+ score in test history. He did that in 10 balls. Looks like he is going to break his own record today" -- Well, he has one ball to achieve that. But for now, Jadeja on 49
Raj Patel: "381 runs scored in a day. Is that a record in itself ? " -- Nope. India had scored 443 runs on day 2 in this match
OK, here's Jadeja two away from yet another Test fifty. He's making it a habit

Shankar: "Umesh Yadav will be on fire this IPL with both bat and ball."
Kohli and Shami having a laugh too
Ravi Shastri takes his spectacles off after that shot. Gives out a tiny giggle
Crowd shouting "Umesh, Umesh, Umesh"
