Incessant rain forced the fourth day's play of the lone Test between India and Bangladesh to be called off here on Saturday.

Indian spinners appeared to have seized the momentum by reducing the hosts to 111-3 when rain crept in just minutes before lunch.

While Tamim Iqbal (19) and Mushfiqur Rahim (2) became the victims of Ravichandran Ashwin's spin deliveries, returning spinner Harbhajan Singh scalped Mominul Haque (30).

Imrul Kayes and Shakib al Hasan were at the crease on 59 and 0 respectively with Bangladesh still trailing by 351 runs.

Earlier, India had declared on their overnight score of 462-6.

Meanwhile, rain has been a major hindrance in this game as the second day's play was completely washed out and only 47.3 overs could be bowled the next day.
