Hyderabad:Pacers Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma put India in a strong position as Bangladesh posted 125/4 in their first innings at lunch on the third day of the one-off Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Saturday.

The visitors now trail India's first innings total by 562 runs.

Shakib Al Hasan (29 batting) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6 batting) were in the middle for Bangladesh when the teams went in for lunch.

Yadav was the most successful among the Indian bowlers with figures of 2-32 while Sharma returned 1-38.

Resuming at the overnight 41/1, Bangladesh ran into trouble early on when a mix-up between Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque, along with an excellent piece of fielding by Yadav, saw the former being run out at the non-striker's end.

Yadav, who was in excellent form, trapped Mominul Haque leg before with an excellent delivery and Ishant sent back Mahmudullah shortly after the drinks break to reduce Bangladesh to 109/4.
