After 22 overs,Bangladesh 81/8 ( Sunzamul Islam 16 , Taskin Ahmed 0)
Nothing going in Bangladesh’s way. Shami bowls a height no ball and concedes a Free Hit. But Sunzamul Islam gets caught behind on that ball, though it wouldn’t count for anything, it has been that kind of a day for them.
After 20 overs,Bangladesh 78/8 ( Sunzamul Islam 16 , Taskin Ahmed 0)
A FSL has been positioned for Taskin Ahmed. The end is lurking around Bangladesh. 20 overs have been bowled and no hints of a spinner yet…..
After 16 overs,Bangladesh 69/7 ( Mehedi Hasan 20 , Sunzamul Islam 14)
Shami bowls another tight over, 3 runs off his 3rd over. Bumrah continues and induces an edge off Sunzamul but it goes between Karthik and the first slip for a boundary. On the fourth ball, he throws everything at a length ball and edges it over backward point for a boundary. Expensive one from Bumrah, 14 runs off it.
After 14 overs,Bangladesh 52/7 ( Mehedi Hasan 17 , Sunzamul Islam 1)
Time for a drink. India all over Bangladesh would be an understatement. The Indian pacers have completely bamboozled the Bangladeshi batsmen. Unless something dramatic happens, it is just a matter of time before Kohli and Co seal this game.
After 12 overs,Bangladesh 47/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 13 , Mehedi Hasan 15)
Mohammed Shami comes into the attack and concedes only 4 runs off it. FOUR! FOUR! FOUR! Mehedi Hasan has decided to attack Jasprit Bumrah. He scores three consecutive boundaries off him.
After 10 overs,Bangladesh 30/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 9 , Mehedi Hasan 2)
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehedi Hasan now playing cautiously and leaving all the deliveries which are outside off. Seven runs have come off the last two overs.
After 8 overs,Bangladesh 23/6 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 4 , Mehedi Hasan 1)
India have deployed three slips which kid of sums up how dominating they have been. There has been a tinge of assistance for the pacers but Bangladesh have played false shots to put themselves in this position.
After 6 overs,Bangladesh 19/3 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 2 , Shakib Al Hasan (C) 6)
Bhuvneshwar joins the party gets rid of Kayes. Shakib playing his natural game despite early wickets. He punches Umesh through covers for a boundary. 7 runs off Umesh’s third over.
After 4 overs,Bangladesh 11/2 ( Imrul Kayes 7 , Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 0)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar keeping it really tight, only 2 runs off his second over. An excellent over from Umesh Yadav from the other end. 2 wickets and a run from it.
After 2 overs,Bangladesh 8/0 ( Imrul Kayes 6 , Soumya Sarkar 2)
Umesh bowls from the other end, and keeps it tight by giving away just a couple of runs. Meanwhile, we have Dinesh Karthik keeping the wickets at the moment instead of MS Dhoni, who seems to have rested himself from this game completely.
After 1 overs,Bangladesh 6/0 ( Imrul Kayes 5 , Soumya Sarkar 1)
Kayes brings up the first runs on the board for Bangladesh with gentle push towards the cover point boundary in just the second delivery of the innings. Slashes the next ball, though the ball falls short of the fielder at third man for him to get a single off the next delivery. Six off the first over of the innings.
After 50 overs,India 324/7 ( Hardik Pandya 81 , Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1)
Hardik has played a gem of a knock here. Kohli talked how he could play the finisher’s role and he is just showing that. He slams a four and a six against Sunzamul Islam. Ashwin too joins the party as he scores a boundary before getting out. SIX! Hardik ends the innings with half a dozen!
After 48 overs,India 294/6 ( Hardik Pandya 58 , Ravichandran Ashwin 0)
Mustafizur’s struggle continues as he leaks 10 runs off his 8th over. A brilliant over from Rubel follows as he concedes only four runs.
After 46 overs,India 280/5 ( Hardik Pandya 51 , Ravindra Jadeja 26)
FOUR! Hardik walks out and slashes Mustafizur through point for a boundary. Top shot! SIX! This one is better. It is full, Hardik waits for the ball and whacks it over cow corner for a maximum. Expensive over from Mustafizur, 15 off it! SIX! Now Jadeja gets into the action, comes down the ground and lofts Mehedi over long off for half a dozen. 10 from Mehedi’s 9th over.
After 44 overs,India 255/5 ( Hardik Pandya 35 , Ravindra Jadeja 17)
Mehedi Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman, potentially Bangladesh’s best bowlers, will bowl in the slog overs. Can Hardik and Jadeja take India past 320?
After 40 overs,India 227/5 ( Hardik Pandya 17 , Ravindra Jadeja 7)
After Karthik’s departure, the run rate has gone down. Both these players are looking to get settled before upping the ante.

After 36 overs,India 210/5 ( Hardik Pandya 6 , Ravindra Jadeja 2)
India are in a comfortable position and they would be eyeing anything between 320 and 340.
After 32 overs,India 183/3 ( Dinesh Karthik 75 , Kedar Jadhav 31)
Karthik has switched gears now, punishing all the bad balls away. Guess he wants to reach that hundred as soon as possible. Kedar, on the other hand has slowed down a bit after an aggressive start.
After 30 overs,India 166/3 ( Dinesh Karthik 64 , Kedar Jadhav 25)
Boundaries and singles coming easily for India now. 16 runs off the last two overs. Bangladesh should bring the Fizz or Mehedi back into the attack to break this partnership.
After 28 overs,India 150/3 ( Dinesh Karthik 55 , Kedar Jadhav 18)
Shakib Al Hasan introduces himself finally in the 27th over and Jadhav welcomes the stand in skipper with a boundary over mid-wicket. Only 4 runs come off the remainder of the over. Mosaddek continues his sharp work at the other end, only 3 runs off his fourth over.
Fifty for DK... so what happens now if Yuvraj is fit and ready for Pakistan game?! India's batting order is tied up in knots. #IndvPak #CT17
