Sachin Tendulkar Saturday scored a world record-equalling 34th Test century to help India score 232 for four wickets in their first innings at tea on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh here.
At the stroke of tea interval, captain Sourav Ganguly was out for 71 (123 balls, 13x4s).
Replying to Bangladesh's 184, India now have a lead of 48 runs with six wickets in hand.
In the second session between lunch and tea, Tendulkar, who was unbeaten on 48 at lunch, scored 58 runs to dominate the none too impressive Bangladeshi bowling attack.
Tendulkar, playing his 119th Test, equalled Sunil Gavaskar's world record that had stood since 1987 when the legendary opener had retired.
Tendulkar made his Test debut on the 1989 tour of Pakistan.
Earlier in the day, Virender Sehwag (13), Gautam Gambhir (35) and Rahul Dravid (0) were dismissed rather cheaply.
