Apple starts its iPhone 16 series sale in India, long queues seen outside stores

Sensex and Nifty made a new all-time high of 84,213 and 25,716 respectively. It is the first time the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) benchmark traded over 84,000.

At 11:16 a.m., Sensex was up 1,028 points or 1.21 per cent at 84,190 and Nifty was up 287 points or 1.13 per cent at 25,700.

The market trend remained positive. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), 1,733 shares were in the green and 650 in red.

Sharp buying was also seen in the midcap and smallcap stocks. Nifty midcap 100 index was 527 points or 0.89 per cent at 59,879 and Nifty smallcap 100 index was 199 points or 1.04 per cent at 19,344.

Almost all sectoral indices were trading in the green. Auto, metal, realty, energy and FMCG were the major gainers.

In Sensex, JSW steel, M&M, L&T, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Steel, Power Grid, ICICI Bank, Nestle, Bharti Airtel and Tech Mahindra were major gainers. TCS and Axis Bank were major losers.

According to the market experts, "The Dow and S&P 500 setting yet another record highs yesterday is indicative of the strength of this ongoing global bull run led by the mother market US. The good labour market data from the US indicates that the labour market is only slowing, not deteriorating. With inflation under control, this means the US is set for a soft landing under a declining interest rate scenario. This is positive for global equity markets."

"A significant trend in India is the outperformance of Bank Nifty which is up two per cent this week against Nifty’s rise of 0.2 per cent. Weakness in the broader market on valuation concerns is another important trend. These trends are likely to continue," they added.

The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net sellers as they sold equities worth Rs 2,547 crore on September 19, while domestic institutional investors extended their buying as they bought equities worth Rs 2,012 crore on the same day.

India struck in the opening over as Bumrah changed his angle to come around the wicket and got one to nip back in and go past a shouldering Shadman Islam to hit the top of off-stump. With Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj bowling attacking lengths, it was baptism by fire time for the Bangladeshi batters.

In the final over before lunch, Akash knocked down the middle stump of Zakir Hasan with a nip-backer coming in from wide of the crease. On the very next ball, he castled Mominul Haque with a nip-backer going past the batter’s forward defence to hit the off-stump, as seven wickets fell in the first session.

Bangladesh will need captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim to rebuild their innings after lunch. Previously, with slight moisture in the pitch, Taskin Ahmed made good use of the new ball to take 3-55 while Hasan Mahmud completed back-to-back five-wicket hauls in Test cricket to end India’s innings just an hour into day two.

Bangladesh began day two by taking the second new ball, and stuck to bowling at good length area. Ashwin, resuming from 102 not out, got India’s innings to resume from 339/6 with a thick edge going over slip cordon for four. Taskin struck in his second over of the day by shaping the ball into Ravindra Jadeja and take a faint edge on his tentative poke straight to keeper.

The dismissal of Jadeja ended his 199-run partnership with Ashwin, as the left-handed batter missed his century by 14 runs. Akash threw kitchen sink at the balls towards him to hit four boundaries, including being dropped by Shakib Al Hasan on eight, before his slog off Taskin took a top-edge and was caught by mid-off for 17 off 30 balls.

Taskin got his third wicket of the day when Ashwin didn’t time his drive well and gave a catch to mid-off to fall for 113 off 133 balls and got a standing ovation from the sparse Chepauk crowd.

Mahmud ended India’s first innings in just over an hour of day two by having Bumrah edging to third slip to pick five-wicket hauls in consecutive Test matches. The pacer also became the first bowler from Bangladesh to take a five-wicket haul in Test matches in India.

Brief Scores: India 376 in 91.2 overs (Ravichandran Ashwin 113, Ravindra Jadeja 86; Hasan Mahmud 5-83, Taskin Ahmed 3-55) lead Bangladesh 26/3 in nine overs (Najmul Hossain Shanto 15 not out; Akash Deep 2-5, Jasprit Bumrah 1-10) by 350 runs
