IND v BAN 1st ODI as it happened: Mustafizur five-for helps Bangladesh outplay India

Dhoni: Bangladesh played some really good cricket as a team. Right from the first ball they took our bowlers on. It looked like they would score more than 330 but we restricted them to 300, but the batting didn’t turn up the way we wanted it to. The rain break helped us. Spinners bowled well, Raina’s contribution was important, but disappointed with the way the fast bowlers bowled. Bhuvi bowled well.

Mustafizur Rahman is named the Man of the Match.

4th win for @BCBtigers over India in a ODI. Mortaza is only one to appear in all 4 wins.Dhoni only one to appear in all 4 defeats.#BanvInd

In ODIs since November 2014 Bangladesh have won 12 games & have lost just 3!#BanvInd

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) June 18, 2015

This is Bangladesh’s 9th consecutive win at home.

A comprehensive win for Bangladesh. Helped by fifties from Tamim, Sarkar and Shakib, the hosts posted a competeitive 307. They might have been 15-20 runs short but their bowlers did the job. Chasing the target, India got off the a good start. Dropped catches of Dhawan didn’t help. But then Taskin provided the much needed breakthrough of Dhawan and then he removed Kohli to set the tone. Rahman – the debutant then took over the mantle and bowled cleverly to scalp a five-for with his cutters. India lost wickets at regular intervals and in the end, fell way short.

That’s it! Bangladesh thump India by 79 runs!

OUT! Shakib traps Umesh Yadav right in front. Mortaza and Taskin go wild in celebrations as the perform the chest-bumps. Mortaza and Rubel then perform a jig. Brilliant scenes……

After 45 overs, India 227/9 (Bhuvneshwar 24, Umesh 2)

Bhuvneshwar cracks one over mid off for a boundary. 6 runs off the over.

After 44 overs, India 221/9 (Bhuvneshwar 19, Umesh 1)

Another tight over from Shakib. Just 2 runs off it.

After 43 overs, India 219/9 (Bhuvneshwar 18, Umesh 0)

Mohit cracks a stunning cover drive but then departs the next ball. 7 runs and a wicket off the over. Bangladesh nearing a well-deserved victory.

OUT! Brilliant catch from Mushfiqur! M Sharma c Mushfiqur Rahim b Mashrafe Mortaza 11 (19b 2×4 0x6) 

Back of a length delivery on off, Mohit looks to steer but gets an outside edge. Mushfiqur -who had dropped Dhawan twice earlier – dives full length to his right and pouches a brilliant catch. 

Umesh Yadav is the last man in.

Won't lose by 100+ runs. #moralvictory

— Rishabh (@rishabhism) June 18, 2015

After 42 overs, India 212/8 (Bhuvneshwar 17, Mohit 5)

Bhuvneshwar providing some fight. Lofts one over long off, the fielder gets a hand to it but it rolls onto the ropes. Bhuvneshwar then slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket for a six. 11 runs from the over.

Shakib continues….

After 41 overs, India 201/8 (Bhuvneshwar 6, Mohit 5)

Rahman might have got another one but he has only himself to blame. Mohit hits one straight back but Rahman spills the return catch. Would have become just the second debutant to take 6 wickets. Mohit slices the last ball over point for a four to make sure it’s not a maiden.

Rahman continues.

After 40 overs, India 197/8 (Bhuvneshwar 6, Mohit 1)

Tight over from Shakib, just two runs off it.

Bangladesh having three slips against India in a limited-overs game. Too humiliating to watch...#BANvIND

— Shamik Chakrabarty (@shamik100) June 18, 2015

Shakib back into the attack now.

End of the Batting Powerplay 30/3 during that period.

After 39 overs, India 195/8 (Bhuvneshwar 5, Mohit 0)

Absolutely brilliant over.  A wicket maiden. After the wicket of Jadeja, he induced an outside edge off Mohit and beat him off three deliveries.

OUT! Five-for on debut for Rahman. Just the second Bangladesh bowler after Taskin to do so.

Length delivery outside off, it’s that cutter again. Jadeja looks to go over the top but is done in by the change of pace. He ends up mistiming it straight to long on where Sarkar makes no mistake. 

Mohit Sharma is the new batsman.

After 38 overs, India 195/7 (Jadeja 32, Bhuvneshwar 5)

Bhuvneshwar drives ont through cover-point for three.  Three singles more make it 6 from the over.

Arnab: Sushma MUST resign... OK, at least Raje MUST resign! Hold on..news coming in that India lost to Bangladesh! Dhoni MUST resign surely!

46 bowlers have claimed 4+ wkt hauls on debut in ODIs.
Mustafizur Rahman becomes the fifth from Bangladesh to do so#BanvInd

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) June 18, 2015

Mortaza continues.

After 37 overs, India 189/7 (Jadeja 30, Bhuvneshwar 1)

Raina had lofted Rahman for a lovely six off the first ball of the over but then Rahman hit back to pick two wickets. 9 runs and two wickets off the over and this could turn out to be the match-defining over.

OUT! 2 in 2 for Rahman! R Ashwin c Mushfiqur Rahim b Mustafizur Rahman 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

Brilliant bowling. Length delivery outside off, angling away, it nips awya a tad too. Ashwin follows up with a tame push but gets an outside edge to the keeper. Rahman is on a hat-trick on debut. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the new batsman.

OUT! Rahman’s slower one does the trick again. S Raina b Mustafizur Rahman 40 (40b 1×4 2×6) 

Length delivery outside off, spinning back in. Raina lunges forward for a drive but it spins back in viciously. He gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Raina was looking ominous as he had hit a lovely six over extra cover off the first ball of the over. 

Ravichandran Ashwin is the new batsman.

Rahman into the attack now. He is back on the field after the collision with Dhoni.

After 36 overs, India 180/5 (Raina 33, Jadeja 29)

Good over from Mortaza. Just four runs off it. In spite of the overthrows, Bangladesh are upping the ante on the field. India need 128 from 14 overs.

Mortaza continues….

After 35 overs, India 176/5 (Raina 32, Jadeja 26)

A good start to the Batting Powerplay for India. Jadeja gets a couple of fours. One through point via a vicious cut and then a flick wide of mid on. 11 runs off the over. India have scored 35 in the last 5 overs.

India have taken the Batting Powerplay. Rubel Hossain is back into the attack.

After 33 overs, India 165/5 (Raina 32, Jadeja 15)

Back to the singles strategy. No big shots attempted. Think they will be waiting for the Batting Powerplay. 4 singles off the over.

"Great" season coming up for Pakistani Liverpool fans. Neither of their teams will be playing any Champions-prefixed tournaments.

— Sir Jadeja fan (@SirJadeja) June 18, 2015

Mortaza back on…

After 33 overs, India 161/5 (Raina 30, Jadeja 13)

Raina is taking calculated risks. He charges down the track first ball and lofts it over mid on for a boundary. Three more singles make it 7 runs from the over. Good cricket so far from the two.

After 32 overs, India 154/5 (Raina 25, Jadeja 11)

Yes, there was surely a message. Raina charges down the track and hammers it over wide long on for a six. He then sweeps it fine for a couple. 10 runs off the over. India needed this move on…..

After 31 overs, India 144/5 (Raina 17, Jadeja 9)

Another tight over from Nasir. Just 3 runs off it. The pressure is building. After the over, the 12th man charges out onto the field with helmet but doesn’t hand it over. There was a message.

Well, umpire rod tucker comes all the way from square leg to ask Tamim to calm down, Mortaza too comes up and has a word with the umpire. Bangladesh are pumped up at the moment.

Nasir Hossain continues….

You have to hand it to Bangladesh. From slow spin on sluggish wickets they are now out-bowling the opposition with high intensity pace.

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) June 18, 2015

After 30 overs, India 141/5 (Raina 16, Jadeja 7)

Another very good over from Shakib. He’s taking the pace off the ball and the batsmen are finding it difficult to find the gaps. Just one run off the over.

Shakib continues…….

After 29 overs, India 140/5 (Raina 16, Jadeja 6)

Raina and Jadeja dealing in singles. Four singles off the over. Hossain is doing a decent job. 168 needed off 120 balls now.

After 28 overs, India 136/5 (Raina 14, Jadeja 4)

Three singles off the last three balls. Raina and Jadeja would look to steady the ship. The asking rate is 7.83 an over. At this stage BANGLADESH WERE 163/4.

After 27 overs, India 133/5 (Raina 12, Jadeja 3)

Decent over from Nasir. Just four singles off it. This is the right time for Jadeja to silence his critics. He’s been found wanting int he batting department and this is the time to be the hero again.

Nasir Hossain continues.

After 26 overs, India 129/5 (Raina 10, Jadeja 1)

Brilliant over from Shakib. 3 runs and a wicket off it. He gave the ball good flight and reaped rich rewards.

OUT! Shakib strikes in his first over. MS Dhoni c Mushfiqur Rahim b Shakib Al Hasan 5 (7b 0x4 0x6) 

Lovely left-armer’s delivery. Loopy and full outside off, tuening away sharply. Dhoni leans forward for a drive but gets an outside edge to the keeper who makes no mistake. India in some trouble now at 128/5.

Ravindra Jadeja is the new batsman.

Shakib Al Hasan into the attack now.

After 25 overs, India 126/4 (Raina 9, Dhoni 4)

Well, well, Dhoni bumps into Rahman while taking a single. The left-arm pacer seems to have hurt and goes off the field. Hossain completes the over and does well. Just 3 runs off it. This was the second instance where Rahman came in the way of the batsman. The captain needs to have a chat with him as soon as he comes back on.

After 24 overs, India 123/4 (Raina 8, Dhoni 2)

Raina has started well. He drives it through mid off for a three, then takes a couple of twos which included a nicely controlled pull shot. Good rotation of strike in that over. 8 runs off it.

Mortaza back into the attack.

After 23 overs, India 115/4 (Raina 2, Dhoni 0)

A successful over from Rahman. Just when it seemed as if Rahane had released the pressure with that lovely extra cover drive, he departed. 8 runs off the over and the wicket of Rahane.

OUT! Brilliant catch from Hossain. A Rahane c Nasir Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 9 (25b 1×4 0x6)

It’s the slower one that does the trick. It’s full on middle and off, Rahane, who had hit a wonderful extra cover drive for a four off the previous ball, looks to hit another one but is done in by the change of pace. He ends up gettting a leading edge to short extra cover where Nasr Hossain leaps int he air to pouch a brilliant catch. He is ecstatic and so are the fans. 

MS Dhoni stride sout to the middle.

Rahman continues….

After 22 overs, India 107/3 (Rahane 4, Raina 0)

Indian batsmen not learning. Rahane is struggling to get going and then get chases a good length delivery outside off but misses as the ball skids off the surface. Taskin is getting the ball to skid off that good length area. Still Indian batsmen are chasing outside off. Kohli got out same way. Two runs off the over.

India in the last five overs – 6/2

Bangladesh win here will really dent Pakistans hopes of being in the Champions Trophy... #banvind

— Innocent Bystander (@InnoBystander) June 18, 2015

After 21 overs, India 105/3 (Rahane 2, Raina 0)

Good stuff from Rahman. Just one run and the wicket of Rohit in that over. He’s varied his pace really well and has been disciplined. The cutters are spinning sharply.

OUT! Rahman gets his maiden ODI wicket and it’s the big one – That of Rohit! RG Sharma c Mashrafe Mortaza b Mustafizur Rahman 63 (68b 4×4 1×6) 

It’s full on middle, a tad slower and nipping away. Rohit looks to turn it to the leg side but gets a leading edge whic pops up to mid off. Mortaza pouches it easily and sets off in wild celebrations. 

Suresh Raina is the new batsman.

Mustafizur Rahman back into the attack…

After 20 overs, India 104/2 (Rohit 63, Rahane 1)

Another very good over from Taskin. He is getting the ball to skid off the surface. Rahane has looked solid so far. Just two runs off the over.

After 19 overs, India 102/2 (Rohit 62, Rahane 0)

Good stuff from Rubel. He too is looking to bounce out the batsman. He’s followed up Taskin’s over with a tight over. Just one run off it. India have gone into the cautious mode again. 12 runs scored off the last 24 balls along with 2 wickets.

After 18 overs, India 101/2 (Rohit 61, Rahane 0)

Brilliant over from Taskin. He got the wicket of Kohli in that over. A wicket maiden.

First time in his ODI career spanning 130 innings since June 2007, Rohit Sharma has reached a batting average of 40#BanvInd

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) June 18, 2015

OUT! Taskin gets the big one. V Kohli c Mushfiqur Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 1 (4b 0x4 0x6)

Taskin sets off in the Shoaib Akhtar type aeroplane celebrations. Good length delivery outside off, zips off the surface. Kohli chases for a cut but gets an outside edge to the keeper. Taskin goes wild in celebrations and why no, it’s a big, big wicket. 

Ajinkya Rahane strides out to the middle.

After 17 overs, India 101/1 (Rohit 61, Kohli 1)

Rohit is unruffled by Dhawan’s dismissal. he pulls one behind square leg for a nicely timed boundary. Two more singles make it 6 runs from the over. 100 comes up for India. We are in for the Kohli-Rubel duel now…….

— Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) June 18, 2015

After 16 overs, India 95/1 (Rohit 56, Kohli 0)

Bangladesh finally get a breakthrough in that over. Taskin is stil getting good bounce and that helped him get the wicket of Dhawan. 5 runs and a wicket off the over.

OUT! The bowling change has worked. Taskin removes Dhawan. S Dhawan c Mushfiqur Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 30 (38b 3×4 0x6)

Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Dhawan backs away and looks to slash but there is extra bounce and he ends up gloving it to the keeper. Taskin is pumped up. 

Virat Kohli is the new batsman.

Taskin back into the attack.

After 15 overs, India 90/0 (Rohit 51, Dhawan 30)

After three singles off the first five balls from Hossain, Dhawan dances down the track and chips it over extra cover for a boundary to make 7 runs from the over.

FIFTY for Rohit!

Quietly, Rohit has got to his 50 off 53 balls. He struggled a bit early on but got into the groove soon. Three fours and a six in his innings so far.

After 14 overs, India 83/0 (Rohit 49, Dhawan 25)

6 singles in that over. Dhawan however seemed a bit impatient as he charged down the track for a pull but mistimed it to deep mid-wicket. All too easy for Rohit and Dhawan at the moment. Bangladesh need a wicket here. Rohit Sharma is on 49 now.

Change of ends for Rubel Hossain….

After 13 overs, India 77/0 (Rohit 46, Dhawan 22)

Good first over from Nasir Hossain. 4 singles off it. He bowled a bit flatter but didn’t get much turn.

Spin introduced now as Nasir Hossain comes into the attack.

After 12 overs, India 73/0 (Rohit 44, Dhawan 20)

Both the batsmen have calmed down a bit. Lookng for quick singles. Four runs off the over.

Mortaza continues.

After 11 overs, India 69/0 (Rohit 42, Dhawan 18)

A good tight over from Rubel. Just 3 runs off it.

Rubel continues…..

After 10 overs, India 66/0 (Rohit 41, Dhawan 16)

It’s all happening in Dhaka. Dhawan looks to turn one to the leg side but gets an inside edge, they all go up in an appeal and the umpire raises the finger without watching what’s going on behind the stumps. Mushfiqur DROPS another catch. Dhawan has already started walking. The fielder scores a direct hit. The umpires get together to make Bangladesh players understand that it’s not out. A mistake from the umpire. 2 runs from the over.

After 9 overs, India 64/0 (Rohit 40, Dhawan 15)

An unlucky start for Rubel! He bowls one short and Rohit miscues his pull just over mid-wicket for a couple. Another short delivery is tonked for a boundary over mid-wicket by Rohit. He then induces an outside edge off Dhawan but Mushfiqur DROPS it diving to his left. 9 runs off the over.

Rubel Hossain into the attack now.

After 8 overs, India 55/0 (Rohit 33, Dhawan 13)

India upping the ante now. Rohit at first drives it straight back for three and then Dhawan charges down the track and just pushes it through mid off for a lovely boundary to make it 9 from the over. 50 up for India in the 8th over.

Mortaza continues…..

After 7 overs, India 46/0 (Rohit 29, Dhawan 8)

Rohit getting into the groove. He pulls a back of a length delivery on the leg stump over long leg for a six and then places one uppishly through point for a boundary, he was probably done in by the change of pace. But he follows up with a cracking drive through extra cover and then steers the last one to third man to make it 15 runs from the over.

After 6 overs, India 31/0 (Rohit 14, Dhawan 8)

A good start from Mortaza. He beat Dhawan with one that angled away. The latter looked to charge down the track on a couple of occassions. Just three singles off the over.

Rohit had a word or two with Rahman after the latter cam in the way of Rohit while going for a quick single. Rahman then patted Rohit on his back to calm him down and he along with Rohit and the umpire had a smile……..

Mashrafe Mortaza into the attack now.

After 5 overs, India 28/0 (Rohit 12, Dhawan 7)

Rahman was unlucky in that over, India upping the ante slightly. Rohit gets an outside edge off the first ball but it falls just short of the second slip fielder. He then takes a singles to mid on but Tamim’s needless throw costs them four more as the ball ricochets off his bat and runs away to the fence with the fielder putting in a lazy effort. Dhawan then charges down the track but Rahman pulls his length back, it nips back in sharply and Dhawan misses it. The ball flicks his pads and runs away to the fine leg fence for four leg byes. Two singles off the next three bals make it 11 runs from the over.

After 4 overs, India 17/0 (Rohit 6, Dhawan 6)

Another energetic over from Taskin. The first one spit from a good length area and Dhawan left it alone. Rahim collected it head high. Dhawan was then beaten on his slash before cutting one to third man for a single. Rohit too was beaten on his slash before he slashed one off the outside edge to third man. Dhawan finally got it off the middle and crunched it on the up through extra cover for a boundary.

After 3 overs, India 11/0 (Rohit 5, Dhawan 1)

This has been a good start from the Bangladesh pacemen. Rahman is mixing up his pace well and brought one back in sharply off a slower one, Dhawan missed it and got hit high on the pads. A huge LBW shout is turned down. Rohit then gets beaten by the away movement as he looks to steer the last delivery. Four runs off the over. Rahman too is bowling mid 130s and getting decent movement.

After 2 overs, India 7/0 (Rohit 2, Dhawan 0)

A fiery first over from Taskin. He misses his marker the first ball and bowls a wayward bouncer which runs away for five wides. He then beats Rohit with a lovely outswinger the next ball. A huge shout for a caught behind is turned down.  He then hurries up Rohit with one that jags back in  before Rohit cuts one to third man for a single. Another good delivery beats Dhawan’s outside edge and then Dhawan plays the last one inside the line to let the outswinger go. Super stuff first up from Taskin. He was charging in on his run up and generated good pace.

After 1 over, India 1/0 (Rohit 1, Dhawan 0)

A very good first over from debutant Rahman. He brought the first one back in sharply. Rohit just about got his bat down for an inside edge onto the pads. A huge LBW appeal is turned down by the umpire. He then beats Rohit the next ball with the one that moves away. Rohit is cautious for then on and he could have been back in the pavilion off the last ball had there been a direct hit at the non-striker’s end. He hit it to mid off where the fielder made a brilliant stop, got up and missed his shy. Roht would have been walking back had that hit.

Right! Back for the chase. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have made their way out to the middle. Debutant Mustafizur Rahman will start off proceedings for Bangladesh.

This is Bangladesh’s first 300 plus total against India…..

Bangladesh all out for 307

Mashrafe’s nice little cameo has taken Bangladesh past 300. He hits a couple of boundaries over mid-wicket before miscuing one to mid on where Rohit pouches a good low catch at mid on.  India pulled it back well in the end conceding just 35 runs and taking 4 wickets. Bangladesh might be 15-20 runs short…..

After 49 overs, Bangladesh 299/9 (Mortaza 13, Rahman 0)

Another fantastic over from Bhuvneshwar. Just 5 runs and a wicket off the over. It would ahve been all over had Kohli managed to gather the ball cleanly and affected a run out off the last ball after miscommunication between the batsmen.

OUT! Taskin departs. Taskin Ahmed c Kohli b Kumar 2 (5b 0x4 0x6)

Good length delivery outside off, Taskin looks to heave but it gets big on him and he gets a top edge to extra cover. Bhuvneshwar’s death bowling skills on display.

Mustafizur Rahman is the last man in.

Bhuvneshwar will bowl the penultimate over.

After 48 overs, Bangladesh 294/8 (Mortaza 10, Taskin 1)

Mortaza providing the much-needed late burst. Hammers Umesh over mid on for a boundary. Then steers one to third man for a couple. 8 runs off the over.

After 47 overs, Bangladesh 286/8 (Mortaza 3, Taskin 0)

Good comeback from Bhuvneshwar in that over. Rubel hit a nicely placed four through point earlier but then Bhuvneshwar scalped his wicket. 4 runs and a wicket off it.

OUT! Bhuvneshwar gets his first wicket. Rubel Hossain c M Sharma b Kumar 4 (5b 1×4 0x6)

Good length delivery outside off, Rubel gives himself a bit of room, looks to launch it over mid off but it gets big on him and he ends up spooning it to the fielder at mid off. 

Taskin Ahmed is the new batsman.

After 46 overs, Bangladesh 282/7 (Mortaza 3, Rubel 0)

Umesh was expensive but he got the important wicket of Hossain in that over. 9 runs off it.

OUT! Umesh gets his 2nd. Nasir Hossain c Jadeja b Yadav 34 (27b 3×4 1×6)

Hossain departs. He was looking ominous but umesh has provided a breakthrough at the right moment. Hossain backs away and looks to slash but miscues it high in the air. Jadeja back peddles, almost overruns it but adjusts well to pouch it. A nice little cameo ends. 

Rubel Hossain is the new batsman.

After 45 overs, Bangladesh 273/6 (Hossain 27, Mortaza 1)

One poor delivery in the over andBhuvneshwar gets punished. He drifts on the pads, Mortaza misses his flick and it runs away for four leg byes. 6 runs off the over. Good stuff from India. They have pulled it back in the last 5 overs. 29/1 during that period.

Bhuvneshwar back on……

After 44 overs, Bangladesh 267/6 (Hossain 26, Mortaza 0)

A successful over for India. Umesh would have gained some confidence conceding just 3 runs and taking a wicket. But he was lucky to get a wicket off a loosener.

OUT! Shakib can’t believe what he has done! Shakib Al Hasan c Jadeja b Yadav 52 (68b 3×4 0x6)

It’s short and wide, asking to be hit. Shakib stays in his crease and cuts it straight into the hands of Jadeja at backward point. He is absolutely disappointed and doesn’t want to go off. A good innings ends. 

Mashrafe Mortaza is the new batsman.

Dhoni could stand at leg slip

— Monish (@Crownish) June 18, 2015

Rank part timers in death overs when your 3 fast bowlers have bowled just 13 overs between them. ODI cricket these days! #BanvInd

— cricBC (@cricBC) June 18, 2015

Well, Dhoni has left the field and Kohli is donning the gloves now. Dhoni rarely leaves the field.

After 43 overs, Bangladesh 264/5 (Shakib 52, Hossain 24)

Just seven runs from the over. Kohli doing a decent job for Dhoni. The pacers have gone for runs and Dhoni is trying to take the pace off. Kohli is bowling slow trundlers and the batsmen are finding it hard to get the timing right.

Kohli continues…..

After 42 overs, Bangladesh 257/5 (Shakib 50, Hossain 21)

After three singles off the first three balls, Hossain cuts it powerfully through point for a boundary. 7 runs off the over. While Hossain is attacking, we can see Shakib cut loose now as he’s reached his fifty.

FIFTY for Shakib!

A rather sedate innigns from Shakib by his standards. 50 off 63 balls but he’s done well to hold up one end and develop partnerships.

After 41 overs, Bangladesh 250/5 (Shakib 47, Hossain 16)

A decent over from Kohli. Bangladesh might have missed out on a trick here. Just 5 runs off the over.

Well, surprise. Dhoni brings on Virat Kohli in the 41st over.

After 40 overs, Bangladesh 245/5 (Shakib 45, Hossain 14)

Shakib got lucky in that over as his top edge flew just over the short fine leg fielder. Hossain then got into the act as he hammered one over long off for a six and then lofted it over mid on for a boundary. He ended the over with a lovely drive to deep extra cover for a couple. 13 runs off the over.  32/1 in the Batting Powerplay for Bangladesh.

Jadeja continues…

After 39 overs, Bangladesh 232/5 (Shakib 44, Hossain 2)

Ashwin strikes back to concede just 2 runs from the over. His last over had cost him 11 runs.

Ashwin continues….

After 38 overs, Bangladesh 230/5 (Shakib 43, Hossain 1)

Jadeja has bowled really well so far. 4 runs and a wicket in this over. His figures in the Batting Powerplay are 2-0-6-1.

OUT! Jadeja gets the much-needed breakthrough. Sabbir Rahman b Jadeja 41 (44b 5×4 1×6)

It’s full, flat and fast on the off stump, Sabbir gets down and looks to slog sweep but is beaten by the pace. The ball shatters the timber.  A good innings from Sabbir but Bangladeh have lost a wicket at a crucial juncture.

Nasir Hossain is the new batsman.

Jadeja continues….

After 37 overs, Bangladesh 226/4 (Shakib 41, Sabbir 40)

Sabbir growing in confidence. He charges down the track first ball and launches Ashwin over long on for a maximum. Ashwin missed his lines in that over and drifted it wide of the leg stump on a coupel of occasions. Both the batsmen looking to unsettle Ashwin with sweeps and slog sweeps. 11 runs off the over.

Ashwin back on…

After 36 overs, Bangladesh 215/4 (Shakib 38, Sabbir 33)

Shakib gets a lifeline in that over. He smacks one straight back and Jadeja doesn’t manage to hold on to it. It was hit pretty hard. All in all, a good over from Jadeja. Just 2 runs in the first over of Batting Powerplay.

Jadeja continues…

Time for the Batting Powerplay……

After 35 overs, Bangladesh 213/4 (Shakib 37, Sabbir 32)

Shakib getting a move on here. The 200 comes up, the 50-stand also comes up. Shakib playing late and hitting some good cuts. A couple and then a boundary through the point region. He then pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. Sabbir then picks up the slower one and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. 15 runs off the over.

Mohit Sharma back into the attack..

After 34 overs, Bangladesh 198/4 (Shakib 26, Sabbir 28)

The rain has made it difficult for the spinners to grip the ball. Jadeja loses grip and delivers a loopy full toss, Shakib chases and hits it over extra cover for a couple. Three more singles make it 6 runs from the over. Bangladesh are keeping the scoreboard ticking…..

Jadeja continues….

After 33 overs, Bangladesh 192/4 (Shakib 22, Sabbir 27)

A much better over from Umesh. Just three runs off it. Sabbir looked to play a couple of aggressive shots but didn’t connect them well.

Umesh continues….

After 32 overs, Bangladesh 189/4 (Shakib 19, Sabbir 27)

There are getting an odd boundary every over and pacing the innings well. sabbir has been the aggressor and it has allowed Shakib to settle down. Sabbir gets down and sweeps it wide of short fine leg for a boundary. Two more singles make it 6 runs off the over.

Jadeja continues…..

After 31 overs, Bangladesh 183/4 (Shakib 18, Sabbir 22)

Umesh has been erratic today and gets punished for missing his lengths. Drops one short and Sabbir pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. He bowled a leg side wide too. 8 runs off the over. Yadav has conceded 36 runs from 4 overs so far.

It has started drizzling ……

Umesh Yadav brought back…..

After 30 overs, Bangladesh 174/4 (Shakib 17, Sabbir 16)

Sabbir is playing some audacious shots now. Gets down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a boundary and then sensibly takes a uick single to covers. Another 6-run over.

Jadeja continues…..

After 29 overs, Bangladesh 168/4 ( Shakib 16, Sabbir 10)

A decent job from Raina. He completes his quota of overs and this is just the fourth time he’s done that in ODIs. He conceded a boundary as Sabbir reverse swept him wide of short third man for a boundary. Two more singles made it 6 runs from the over. Raina ends with 10-0-40-0.

Raina continues…..

After 28 overs, Bangladesh 162/4 ( Shakib 15, Sabbir 5)

Jadeja nearly gets a wicket in his first over. He gets one to skid through after landing outside off, Sabbir goes for a slog sweep but misses. Just three runs from the over.

Here’s a small insight – 

Jadeja’s performances have been poor for the last 18 months. Since December 1, 2013, Jadeja has averaged 39.28 while bowling – second worst after Bhuvneshwar Kumar (49) for bowlers to have bowled more than 100 overs for India. His economy rate has been average – 5.35 but his strike-rate is second worst – 44.6 after Bhuvneshwar (61.1).

Overall, even part-time spinners like JP Duminy (avg 38.11, SR 41.5), Tillakaratne Dilshan (Avg 37.46, SR 42.3) Glenn Maxwell (Avg 30.25, SR 34.2), have had a better averages and strike rates than Jadeja in that same period, for players to have bowled more than 100 overs.

Ravindra Jadeja into the attack now.

After 27 overs, Bangladesh 159/4 ( Shakib 13, Sabbir 4)

A rare bad delivery from Raina in that over. He drops it short and Shakib pulls it over mid-wicket for the first boundary in 25 balls. Four more singles make it 8 runs from the over.

After 26 overs, Bangladesh 151/4 ( Shakib 7, Sabbir 2)

Another beautiful over from Ashwin. Just two runs off it. Nice flight, some turn and some variations. Ashwin at his best.

After 25 overs, Bangladesh 149/4 ( Shakib 6, Sabbir 1)

Raina conceded just 2 runs in his eighth over. Ashwin might have taken three wickets but it was Raina who build the pressure. He’s bowling really flat while Ashwin is giving it pretty good air.

Cricket is a game of skill and the mind. Bangladesh haven't used the much of the second bit in the last 45 minutes. #IndvsBan

After 24 overs, Bangladesh 147/4 ( Shakib 5, Sabbir 0)

Another brilliant over from Ashwin. He got the wicket of Rahim and then beat Sabbir’s outside edge with one that went straight on. 2 runs and a wicket off the over.

OUT! Ashwin gets his third. Mushfiqur Rahim c RG Sharma b Ashwin 14 (19b 1×4 0x6) 

Not good cricket from Rahim. Bangladesh needed ot rebuild but he threw it away. Flighted outside off, Rahim charges down the track for a loft, doesn’t connect it well and helps it straight into the hands of Rohit at long on. 

Sabbir Rahman is the new batsman.

After 23 overs, Bangladesh 145/3 ( Rahim 14, Shakib 4)

Rahim finally releases the pressure valve. He rocks back and cuts the first one through point for a boundary. Then paddles the next one for a couple. He then again cuts it wide of the gully fielder for a couple. 10 runs off the over. Raina conceded his first boundary in this over.

After 22 overs, Bangladesh 135/3 ( Rahim 5, Shakib 3)

Rahim getting a bit impatient. He looks to heave at first and hits it straight to mid-wicket. He again goes for it but mistimes it to deep mid-wicket. Shakib then looks to cut close to his body but misses. They are looking to move on now. Just 2 runs off the over.

After 21 overs, Bangladesh 133/3 ( Rahim 4, Shakib 2 )

Rahima and Shakib dealing in singles now. Four runs off the Raina over. Raina has totally choked hte scoring and Dhoni might be delighted with what his fifth bowler is offering on the palte.

After 20 overs, Bangladesh 129/3 ( Rahim 2, Shakib 0 )

Another good over from Ashwin. Just two runs and a wicket off it. India have hit back hard int he alst five overs. 13/2 during that period. Mushfiqur and Shakib need to rebuild now.

OUT! Ashwin strikes! Litton Das lbw b Ashwin 8 (13b 0x4 0x6)

Lovely off-spinner from Ashwin. Flighted outside off, dips and spins back in sharply. Litton comes forward for a drive but is done in by the sharp spin. He gets hit on the pads and the umpire lifts his finger straightaway.

Shakib Al Hasan is the new batsman.

After 19 overs, Bangladesh 127/2 ( Litton 7, Rahim 1 )

Terrific over from Raina. He’s getting the ball to skid off the surface and bowling at a good pace and that too, stumps to stumps. The last one is darted in flatter and quicker, it stays low. Mushfiqur gets his bat down in time and gets an inside edge onto his pads. Raina’s figures read – 5-0-10-0.

After 18 overs, Bangladesh 126/2 ( Litton 6, Rahim 1 )

Successful over from Ashwin. India would look to apply the brakes on scoring now. 5 runs and a wicket off the over.

OUT! Ashwin reaps rich rewards of the pressure built by Raina in the last over.

Loopy and full outside off, Tamim charges down the track and looks to loft, doesn’t connect it well and helps it straight into the hands of Rohit at long off. The rain break hasn’t done any good for Bangladesh. A good innings comes to an end.

Mushfiqur Rahim is the new batsman.

After 17 overs, Bangladesh 121/1 (Tamim 59, Litton 3)

Raina has done a brilliant job so far. Just one run off the over.

After 16 overs, Bangladesh 120/1 (Tamim 58, Litton 3)

12 runs off the Mohit over. Tamim charged down the track first ball after rain break and looks to pull but mistimed it back to the bowler. The break might help India as Bangladesh were having a good momentum…..

Right play resumes. Mohit Sharma will complete the over. He has conceded 11 runs from 4 balls already in this over.

Covers are coming off. We should have a start soon. @cricketnext #BanvsInd pic.twitter.com/WLTUAqsJAN

It has all but stopped raining in Mirpur. The match officials are out for an inspection and take a stroll over the covers. #BanvsInd

The rain has gotten heavier. The entire ground is covered now. There is a reserve day for all 3 ODIs #BANvIND

— Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) June 18, 2015

Tamim in his last three innings has scored 132, 116*, 64  and currently, he is 57*. He is in rich vein of form.

RAIN Stoppage: Mohit delivers a no ball first up and gets hammered for a boundary by Tamim. The free hit is cracked for a four straight down the track. Litton misses hsi dab and then steers it to third man for a single. But then the drizzle starts and the players go off…………

FIFTY for Tamim!

He gets there in style as he charges down the track and hammers it over mid off for a boundary. 50 off 50 balls. He started off scratchily but has found good rhythm.

After 15 overs, Bangladesh 108/1 (Tamim 48, Litton 2)

Raina is doing a decent job. Just three singles off the over. Raina’s figures so far read – 3-0-8-0.

After 14 overs, Bangladesh 105/1 (Tamim 46, Litton 2)

Sarkar his a brilliant upper cut off the first ball to reach his FIFTY off just 38 balls but was sold down the river by Tamim three balls later. Litton got off the mark with a nice flick to fine leg for two. A successful over for India. 8 runs and a wicket off it.

OUT! Brilliant worl from Raina! Soumya Sarkar run out 54 (40b 8×4 1×6) 

Mohit bowls a brilliant yorker, Tamim somehow digs it out to the leg side. He sets off but gets off balance and asks Sarkar to get back, Sarkar has already taken a start. Raina charges in, dives and knocks down the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Sarkar had already given up. 

Debutant Litton Das strides out to the middle.

Mohit Sharma back on.

After 13 overs, Bangladesh 97/0 (Tamim 45, Sarkar 49)

Another good over from Raina. Just four singles off it. There was an appeal for an LW against Tamim who missed his sweep but the umpire rightly turned it down as it was drifting down leg. Sarkar has moved on to 49 now…

Raina continues….

After 12 overs, Bangladesh 93/0 (Tamim 43, Sarkar 47)

Ashwin not getting his lines and lengths right and rightly gettinf punished. He drops one short, Tamim pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. He then drifts one onto the pads, Tamim flicks it but the short fine leg fielder dives and stops a certain boundary. Sarkar then charges down the track and hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a six. 12 runs off the over.

After 11 overs, Bangladesh 81/0 (Tamim 38, Sarkar 40)

A good start from Raina. He bowled it quicker through the air and hurried up the batsmen. Just three singles off the over.

Some start from the Bangladesh openers. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar now have Bangladesh's highest opening stand vs India.

— Mohammad Isam (@Isam84) June 18, 2015

Suresh Raina into the attack now.

After 10 overs, Bangladesh 79/0 (Tamim 37, Sarkar 39)

A good tight over from Ashwin. Just three runs off it. He gave the ball good flight and was disciplined with his lines.

Ashwin continues..

After 9 overs, Bangladesh 75/0 (Tamim 35, Sarkar 38)

Good attacking cricket from the openers. Sarkar heaves one off the inside edge through mid-wicket for a boundary and then Tamim charges and lofts it over mid off.  Dhoni even came up to the stumps as Tamim was charging down the wicket. Dhoni looks short of options at the moment. Another 10-run over.

It is a great batting surface but Bangladesh have been refreshingly positive. I think it stems from greater self-belief. #BanvsInd

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) June 18, 2015

Mohit Sharma into the attack now…..

After 8 overs, Bangladesh 65/0 (Tamim 30, Sarkar 33)

Sarkar is playing calculated cricket. It’s not just slogging. It’s proper batting. He leans forward and drive one crisply through covers for a boundary and then gets down and sweeps one powerfully through fine leg for the second boundary of the over. 10 runs off the over. This is good stuff. He is respecting the good balls and putting away the bat ones.

3-0-28-0. Chance hi nahi ki Ishu Sharma ki kami khalne de humara Umesh. #BANvIND

— cricBC (@cricBC) June 18, 2015

Right! Dhoni has gone towards Ravichandran Ashwin for a wicket…….

After 7 overs, Bangladesh 55/0 (Tamim 29, Sarkar 24)

After two runs off the first three balls, Sarkar smashes one over mid-wicket for a boundary. It was a stand and deliver shot. He then pulls a short one over the same region for the second boundary of the over. 10 runs off it. This is good stuff from the openers.
