Saifuddin to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Tanzid Hasan!! India finish on 168/6! Pitched up by the bowler on off, right into the slot and Hardik Pandya has lofted it straight to long-off. A straightforward catch by the fielder in the deep and that brings an end to the innings and a crucial cameo by Hardik. Hardik Pandya c Tanzid Hasan b Saifuddin 38(29) [4s-4 6s-1]

Mustafizur to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, back of a length outside off, Hardik Pandya stands tall and thumps it over covers for four more. Just the kind of finish India were expecting from Hardik. He's living up to those expectations

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, that's a gift of a delivery. A juicy full toss outside off, Hardik Pandya plays away from his body and the outside edge beats the fielder at short third man and races away to the fence in a jiffy

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, fine yorker outside off, Hardik Pandya brings his bat down and squeezes it through backward point for a couple of runs. 150 up for India!

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, full and wide outside off, Hardik Pandya eyes the off-side and drills this through the wide gap at covers for a rollicking boundary. No chance of stopping that. Was struck so powerfully

Mustafizur to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, full and wide outside off, Hardik Pandya finally connects one as he thumps it over covers. Manages to beat the fielder sprinting across in the deep and that's a much needed boundary for India

Mustafizur to Axar, no run, short of a length outside off, skids along the deck as Axar gets beaten on the cut. Bangladesh have taken a review for a caught behind! Jaker Ali reckons he heard a sound when the ball was close to the bat. Nothing on UltraEdge, no bat involved and they have lost a review

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Saif Hassan!! India have lost 5 wickets with more than 5 overs remaining. A slower delivery by Tanzim Hasan Sakib and the batter gets deceived due to the lack of pace. Slogs this towards deep square leg and the fielder stationed there takes a well-judged skier. India losing their way as Dube, SKY and Tilak have been dismissed for single-digit scores. Tilak Varma c Saif Hassan b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 5(7)

Rishad Hossain to Hardik Pandya, SIX, was proving to be a good over, but Hardik Pandya decides to punish the spinner. Waits for the leg-break to dip in front of him and sends it sailing over long-off with a clear lofted drive. 10 runs from the over

Mustafizur to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Jaker Ali!! The Indian captain is gone. Two wickets in the over and Bangladesh are slowly pulling things back. Was a short ball down the leg-side and Suryakumar Yadav tried to flick it away. Brushes the splice of his willow and Jaker Ali completes a good diving catch to his left. Clear deflection on UltraEdge and onfield decision has to be overturned. The Bangladesh fans are loving this. Plenty of them in the stands tonight. Suryakumar Yadav c Jaker Ali b Mustafizur 5(11)

Mustafizur to Suryakumar Yadav, out Abhishek Sharma Run Out!! A fantastic effort in the field results in Abhishek Sharma's run-out. Was short and wide outside off, and Suryakumar Yadav cut it towards backward point where Rishad Hossain stopped it with a dive. The non-striker leaves his crease looking for a single, but is sent back. Rishad waits for a moment and fires a flat throw at the bowler's end. Mustafizur is equally calm while gathering the throw and he whips off the bails before the batter could get back with a dive. End of a superb knock by the opener. Scored 74 against Pakistan in the previous match, walks back after scoring 75 tonight. Abhishek Sharma run out (Rishad Hossain/Mustafizur) 75(37) [4s-6 6s-5]

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Abhishek Sharma throws the kitchen sink at it and smashes it over covers for another boundary. Moves into the 70s again

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, 100 up for India! Pitched up by the bowler, right into the slot, was the slower one and Abhishek Sharma picks the bones out of it. Smokes it over long-off for a towering six

Rishad Hossain to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, shot! No boundary is big for him. 90.6ks touch quicker but the length was the key, right in the slot and Abhishek sits down to play the slog sweep, launches it high and well over deep mid-wicket. 85-meter six..

Rishad Hossain to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! Second wicket for Rishad. Dube's promotion does not work out. He was sent in to take on the spinners and perishes while trying to do so. This is the googly and the length is quite full, Dube tries to loft it down the ground and skews it off the outer half to long-off, simple catch for Hridoy. Bangladesh fighting back with a couple of wickets and a tidy over. Shivam Dube c Towhid Hridoy b Rishad Hossain 2(3)

Saif Hassan to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, fifty for Abhishek. He continues his purple patch. Raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. Flatter and drifting in, clipped through the vacant mid-wicket pocket

Saif Hassan to Abhishek Sharma, no run, confusion but Dube survives. Slingy delivery bowled with a round-arm, Abhishek misses the flick and the ball deflects off the pad into the leg-side, Dube wanted a single but Abhishek isn't keen. He was more than halfway down but Jaker Ali's throw was not fast enough and it allows Dube to get back in

Rishad Hossain to Gill, out Caught by Tanzim Hasan Sakib!! There's the much needed wicket for Bangladesh. The partnership has been broken. Gill departs while trying to play the big shot. But credit to Rishad. He was not afraid to flight the ball even after getting hit for a boundary, just drags the length back a touch and Gill lofts it off the toe-end, Sakib settles near long-off and takes a well-judged catch. Gill c Tanzim Hasan Sakib b Rishad Hossain 29(19) [4s-2 6s-1]

Rishad Hossain to Gill, FOUR, poor fielding. Flighted outside off, Gill drives in front of square and Saif gets around from sweeper, but ends up diving over the ball and allows it to roll into the rope

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, smashed! Once more uses his feet. This is smart batting. Abhishek does advance a lot to the pacers but Saifuddin is not offering pace, so he's run down almost every ball and created his own pace. He converts this into a full delivery and smacks in front of square on the off-side. First 3 overs: 17/0, next 3 overs: 55/0.

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, the boundaries continue to flow.. Abhishek steps out and is met by an off-pace short of length delivery, gives himself enough room to flay this over the point region

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, thumped! Very small margin for error against Abhishek. Full pitcher outside off, plenty of space for him to free his hands and he pumps it over extra cover, couple of bounces and over the rope

Saifuddin to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, ufff! Minimal followthrough of the bat and the ball almost travels the distance. He shimmies out, gives himself room and slices the full toss over the off-side field, just bounces inside the rope

Mustafizur to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, 17 from this over. 38 from the last 2 overs. India are back on track. Abhishek charges down and gets a short of length delivery, there's width on offer and he slashes it towards third man, gets enough elevation to clear the rope

Mustafizur to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, back to back sixes for Abhishek. He's finding his timing. 138.7ks length delivery and he manages to get under it, lofts it with a straight bat and sends it sailing over long-on. 81-meter six..

Nasum Ahmed to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, 21 from the over. Giving Nasum the new ball worked for one over. This was right in the slot and with the kind of form Abhishek is in, he was not missing out and launches this well over long-on

Nasum Ahmed to Gill, SIX, lovely shot! This is Gill at his best. He's putting the pressure back on Bangladesh. Once again uses his feet, gets close to the flighted delivery and lofts it down the ground, 89-meter six over wide long-on

Nasum Ahmed to Gill, FOUR, shot! Gill comes down the track, converts it into a half volley and drills it straight of mid-on. He does not bother to run..

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, dropped! That was the chance and Jaker Ali does not hang on. But where was the slip? There was one in the first over but not in this one. Back of a length and slants away, Abhishek has a tentative poke and the outside edge flies to the left of the keeper, Jaker Ali dives across and gets both hands but does not hang on. Surely the ball would have carried to first slip if there was one

Nasum Ahmed to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, not quite off the middle but Abhishek and India have their first boundary. 89.9ks fuller and drifts away, Abhishek once again looks to loft down the ground and ends up slicing it over backward point. The ball lands safely and runs away..
