India in control of first test after Bumrah takes 4-50 to help skittle out Bangladesh for 149

CHENNAI, India (AP) — Jasprit Bumrah took 4-50 to help skittle Bangladesh for 149 and give India a first-innings lead of 227 runs on Day 2 of the first test Friday.

On a day when 17 wickets fell, India was dismissed for 376 early in the morning session with Ravichandran Ashwin hitting 113 and later reached 81-3 at stumps — for an overall lead of 308 — having decided against enforcing the follow-on. Shubman Gill was unbeaten on 33 and Rishabh Pant was 12 not out.

In between all that, Bumrah ran through Bangladesh's lower-middle order in a fine all-round bowling performance by the Indians that bundled out the visitors early in the third session. Pacers Mohammed Siraj (2-30) and Akash Deep (2-19) weighed in with economical figures.

Shakib al Hasan’s 32 was the top score for Bangladesh, which slumped to 26-3 at lunch and couldn't stem the fall of wickets, losing two more quick after the resumption of play.

Siraj had captain Najmul Hossain Shanto caught at slip for 20 before Bumrah dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim in a similar fashion for 8, leaving Bangladesh at 40-5 after 12.5 overs.

Shakib and Litton Das resisted with a 51-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Das scored 22 off 42 balls, including three fours.

Spin then did the trick for India as Ravindra Jadeja (2-19) removed Das, who was caught at square leg by substitute fielder Dhruv Jurel. Jadeja picked up a second when Shakib was caught at short leg two overs later.

At 92-7, Bangladesh was staring down the barrel, though Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 27 off 52 balls to save the team from complete embarrassment. He maneuvered the lower order to add another 57 runs for the final three wickets while also denying Bumrah a five-wicket haul.

India’s star-studded top-order faltered once again in the second innings.

Rohit Sharma was caught at slip for 5, unable to fend off extra bounce from Taskin Ahmed (1-17). Yashasvi Jaiswal chased a wide delivery from Nahid Rana and was caught behind for 10, while Virat Kohli scored 17 runs — and added 39 for the third wicket with Gill — before falling lbw to Mehidy Hasan (1-16).

Replays suggested an inside edge and Kohli didn’t ask for a DRS review despite India having a full quota of three reviews available.

Gill and Pant closed out the day without further damage.

Bangladesh pace bowler Hasan Mahmud earlier picked up his second straight five-wicket haul in India’s first innings, which saw Ashwin get to his sixth test hundred and a personal best at his home ground. After miscuing a pull to mid-off, Ashwin walked off to a rousing reception from his hometown crowd.

Resuming on 339-6 from overnight, India lost Jadeja early, caught behind for 86 off 124 balls. That ended the 199-run seventh-wicket partnership with Ashwin which had turned things around for India from a precarious 144-6 on the first day.

Mahmud finished with 5-83, becoming the first Bangladesh bowler with a five-wicket haul in India. It was also his second five-wicket performance in as many innings after he took 5-43 against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. Taskin Ahmed had figures of 3-55.

The second of two tests will be played in Kanpur and begins on Sept. 27, with three Twenty20 matches to follow.

Denver (AP) — Investigators were trying to figure out Friday what led an elevator to malfunction at a former Colorado gold mine, killing one person, injuring four others and leaving 12 people trapped for hours at the bottom of the tourist attraction 1,000 feet (305 meters) beneath the surface.

The elevator was descending into the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine near the town of Cripple Creek in the mountains near Colorado Springs on Thursday when it had a mechanical problem around 500 feet (152 meters) beneath the surface, Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell said.

What exactly caused the visitor’s death was not immediately provided. The victim has yet to be identified.

Eleven other people, including two children, who were riding the elevator were rescued. Four had minor injuries including back pain, neck pain and arm pain, the sheriff said.

Twelve adults from a second group were trapped for about six hours Thursday below ground. They had access to water and used radios to communicate with authorities, who told them there was an elevator issue, Mikesell said.

Elevator accidents at mines are extremely rare, said Steven Schafrik, a University of Kentucky associate professor of mining engineering. They have been used by the industry to carry people and material since the mid-1800s, he said, and modern elevators are equipped with fail-safe devices that prevent them from falling far if there's a cable break.

“Stupid safe,” Schafrik said of mining elevators.

He declined to comment directly on the Colorado accident.

Mines that operate as tourist attractions in Colorado must designate someone to inspect the mines and the transportation systems daily, according to the state Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. Mikesell said he didn’t know the date of the last inspection at the Mollie Kathleen Mine. Records of the inspections weren’t immediately available online.

Changes to the elevator were made in 1988 after the mine came under new ownership, according to the mine's website. A second elevator that could carry nine people was suspended below the existing elevator, and a new motor was installed to accommodate the increased weight, the website says.

On Thursday night, engineers worked to make sure the elevator was working safely again before bringing the stranded visitors back up. That included sending the elevator down empty to the bottom of the shaft to make sure it could get back up without issues. The elevator ride typically takes about two minutes, according to the mine’s website.

The 12 stranded tourists were hoisted up in groups of four over a half-hour period, the sheriff's office said in a news release. They had been prepared to bring them up by rope if necessary, had the elevator not been usable.

The incident, which was reported to authorities at about noon, happened during the final week of the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine season before it shuts down for the winter, Mikesell said.

Cripple Creek is a town of about 1,100 in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Colorado Springs.

The mine opened in the 1800s and closed in 1961, but still operates tours. Its website describes a one-hour tour. It says visitors can see veins of gold in the rock and ride an underground tram.

A woman named Mollie Kathleen Gortner discovered the site of the mine in 1891 when she saw quartz laced with gold, according to the company’s website.

The mine’s phone was not accepting messages and no one immediately responded to a message submitted through its website.
