India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 40 overs,India 249/3 ( Virat Kohli 92 , KL Rahul (W) 34)

SIX! Kohli clears his front leg and smashes Nasum over long on to move into the 90s! India need less than 10 to make it four wins in as many outings in this World Cup! He collects a single off the last ball to keep the strike for the following over, and will certainly have his sights set on the three-figure mark.

21:17 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! Muscled away towards the vacant midwicket fence by Kohli off Nasum, and the Indian batting star moves to 85 with that shot — needing just 15 more to complete the three-figure mark! IND 242/3; need 15 to win

21:16 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

SIX! Kohli picks the slower ball from Hasan and smashes it over long on to collect his second maximum! With that, he also completes 26,000 international runs! IND 237/3; need 20 more to win off 67 balls

21:13 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 38 overs,India 229/3 ( Virat Kohli 73 , KL Rahul (W) 33)

Shoriful goes for 14 in his eighth over, with Rahul collecting a six and a four off consecutive short-pitched deliveries, signalling a shift with the finish line within sight.

21:07 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! Back-to-back pulls off Rahul's bat in Shoriful's eighth over, this one hit in front of square. Not as well-timed, but goes for a four nevertheless given the Tigers don't really have that part of the boundary protected. IND 222/3

21:06 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

SIX! Flat hit over the long leg fence off KL Rahul's bat in response to a short-pitched delivery from Shoriful. Bangladesh had placed a fielder at fine leg, who had little time to get to the ball in any case. IND 218/3

21:03 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 36 overs,India 209/3 ( Virat Kohli 68 , KL Rahul (W) 18)

Three singles conceded by Miraz, who has been the clear standout among the Bangladeshi bowlers today, in his penultimate over and looks like Bangladesh skipper Shanto wants to bowl his quota out now to tryand prise out a wicket — preferrably that of Kohli. India need less than 50 to win now with plenty of wickets and overs in hand.

21:00 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! Pulled behind square by Rahul off a rising delivery from Shoriful, who replaces Mahmudullah in the attack after the drinks break. Wasn’t well connected, but was placed wide of the fielder running to his right from deep square. IND 206/3

20:53 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 34 overs,India 201/3 ( Virat Kohli 65 , KL Rahul (W) 13)

And now we have off-spin from both ends with all-rounder Mahmudullah replacing Nasum in the 33rd over. Single collected off each delivery in his first over with Rahul nearly perishing in the third ball after a miscued pull towards deep midwicket, with the ball landing just short of the fielder. The 200 comes up for the Men in Blue in the following over, with Rahul bringing up the milestone with a single off Mehidy. Three off Mehidy’s eighth over, with drinks being brought to the field for a final time today. India need 56 more to win with seven wickets and 16 overs in hand.

20:47 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 32 overs,India 192/3 ( Virat Kohli 60 , KL Rahul (W) 9)

Spin from both ends for the first time today with finger spinners Nasum and Mehidy bowling in tandem. Both concede four runs each in their latest overs. Kohli, meanwhile, moves to 60, scoring at nearly run-a-ball.

20:41 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 30 overs,India 184/3 ( Virat Kohli 57 , KL Rahul (W) 5)

FOUR! Confident start for wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul as he produces a firm cut off Miraz to send the ball scurrying away to the fence behind point. Six runs off Miraz’s sixth over along with Iyer’s dismissal. India need another 73 to win with seven wickets in hand and another 20 overs left in the chase. Kohli’s batting on 57 at the moment, and India will hope for him to stay till the end.

20:38 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

OUT! Tame end to Iyer's innings as he ends up getting caught by Mahmudullah near deep midwicket while trying to smash Miraz out of the park. Barely got any timing on the shot after skipping down the track. Second wicket for the off-spin-bowling all-rounder. IND 178/3

Iyer c Mahmudullah b Miraz 19(25)

20:37 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 29 overs,India 178/2 ( Virat Kohli 56 , Shreyas Iyer 19)

Change from both ends with Nasum and Mustafizur replacing Mehidy and Hasan respectively. The left-arm spinner gives away just three singles. ‘Fizz’ meanwhile, bowls five dots in a row and is about to walk away with the first maiden of the innings when Kohli dispatches him for a boundary with a cover punch.

20:26 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 27 overs,India 171/2 ( Virat Kohli 50 , Shreyas Iyer 18)

FOUR! Slightly short from Hasan, and Kohli doesn't shy away from pulling this towards the square-leg fence to collect his fourth four. Taps the ball towards mid on in the following delivery and scampers off for a quick single to bring up his 69th ODI half-century in 48 deliveries!

20:21 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 25 overs,India 161/2 ( Virat Kohli 42 , Shreyas Iyer 16)

FOUR! Iyer pulls Hasan, who replaces Shoriful in the 25th over, in front of square to pick out the vacant midwicket fence. Though the situation is very much under control, India hadn't collected a boundary in a while and an extended period without one would would have added to the pressure. India, meanwhile, are 161/2 at the halfway stage.

20:19 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 24 overs,India 154/2 ( Virat Kohli 40 , Shreyas Iyer 11)

Kohli and Iyer continue to deal in the ones and twos to keep the scorecard ticking at a steady pace, with the Men in Blue going past the 150 mark close to the halfway stage of the chase. Kohli, meanwhile, is fairly well set on 40 at the moment.

20:10 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 22 overs,India 146/2 ( Virat Kohli 37 , Shreyas Iyer 6)

Just four singles collected in the last two overs, with Shoriful and Miraz keeping things fairly tidy at the moment.

STAT ALERT: Virat Kohli has now gone past Mahela Jayawardene’s tally of 25,957 international runs to become the fourth highest run-scorer of all time across formats. Only Sachin Tendulkar (34.357), Kumar Sangakkara (28,016) and Ricky Ponting (27.483) have scored more runs than Kohli.

20:04 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 20 overs,India 142/2 ( Virat Kohli 34 , Shreyas Iyer 5)

FOUR! Edged... and safe! New batter Shreyas Iyer has an escape early in his innings, though to be fair to Mushfiqur, he had a fraction of a section to react to that. Iyer was shaping for a square cut, and inadvertently ended up guiding the ball towards the third man fence. Quite the over from Miraz, with 12 coming off it including a boundary to Kohli and Iyer along with the wicket of Gill.

20:01 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! Driven through extra cover by Kohli off a tossed up delivery from Miraz! Gill's dismissal appears have to have done little to dent VK's resolve. IND 137/2

19:54 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

OUT! Gill departs right after bringing up his half-century as Mahmudullah collects a well-judged catch right in front of the boundary rope at deep midwicket. Mehidy Hasan Miraz strikes in his second over of the day! IND 132/2

Gill c Mahmudullah b Miraz 53

19:51 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

19:41 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 17 overs,India 122/1 ( Shubman Gill 47 , Virat Kohli 25)

Gill and Kohli are doing it in ones and twos at the moment with Mustafizur and Nasum bowling tidy lines and not giving either much room to flex their arms. 11 runs collected in the last two over, with drinks brought to the field at the end of the 17th over. Gill’s three short of what will be his maiden World Cup fifty, while Kohli’s off to a flier, batting on 25 off 17 at the moment. India need 135 more to win with 33 overs and nine wickets in hand.

19:33 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 15 overs,India 111/1 ( Shubman Gill 41 , Virat Kohli 20)

FOUR! What should have been a dot ball for Nasum instead turns into a boundary for Kohli, thanks to misfields both inside the circle as well as close to the boundary rope. Was a push through the midwicket region from the star batter that should have been intercepted by Shoriful. Eight off the last two overs with Mustafizur having conceded just three singles in his third over.

19:28 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 13 overs,India 103/1 ( Shubman Gill 40 , Virat Kohli 13)

FOUR! SIX! What a way for Virat Kohli to get off the mark, smashing Hasan Mahmud for a four and a six in consecutive free hits! Mahmud was guilty of overstepping right after getting rid of Rohit, and Kohli, who opened his account with a brace, clears his front leg and thumps the ball over mid on for a four. Hasan is found to have overstepped in that delivery as well, resulting in an extension of the Free Hit. Kohli follows it up with a majestic lofted drive over long on for a maximum. 23 runs and a wicket from Hasan's fourth over, with the Indians going past the century mark in the 13th over!

19:24 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

OUT! Rohit ends up playing a pull shot too many! Hasan sticks to the short-ball strategy, and this time Rohit pulls straight to the man stationed at deep backward square-leg, exactly as planned by the Tigers! He misses out on a third consecutive fifty-plus score by just two runs! IND 88/1
 

Rohit c Hridoy b Hasan 48(40)

19:21 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

SIX! Probably the biggest hit of the evening so far! Hasan digs this short, and Rohit responds with a hook that sends the ball into the stands several rows beyond the fine leg fence! IND 88/0

19:17 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 12 overs,India 80/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 41 , Shubman Gill 39)

FOUR. DOT. FOUR. FOUR. Gill toys with Mustafizur after the left-arm pacer is brought back into the attack in place of Nasum. Gill cuts a back-of-length delivery in the second ball, beating the man at backward point, before producing a neat little push through the midwicket region two balls later. He produces an even better shot in the penultimate delivery, driving an overpitched delivery through the gap between extra cover and mid off. 12 off the over, with the partnership now worth 80. Gill’s starting to catch up with Rohit now after starting cautiously.

19:14 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 10 overs,India 63/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 37 , Shubman Gill 26)

SIX! Make that two sixes inside three deliveries from Nasum! Wasn't as well hit this one, but Gill managed to clear the straight boundary nevertheless, beating the fielding running to his right from long off. Gill later keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. 13 from the 10th over, with India reaching 63 for no loss at the end of the powerplay.
 

19:10 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

SIX! Gill advances down the track and smashes the ball over long on off Nasum's bowling! Looks like there was a roll of the wrists in that shot, making it even more impressive a hit from the 23-year-old. IND 56/0

19:07 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 9 overs,India 50/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 37 , Shubman Gill 13)

18:50 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 5 overs,India 33/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 27 , Shubman Gill 6)

Shoriful continues from the other end. FOUR! Majestic from Rohit as he goes for a lofted drive over mid off in the second ball of the left-arm pacer’s third over.

18:45 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 4 overs,India 28/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 22 , Shubman Gill 6)

Bangladesh skipper Shanto decides to introduce spin early to try and stem the flow of runs, replacing Mustafizur with left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed. Appeal for LBW against Gill in the second delivery is turned down by the umpire, and the Tigers decide against going for the review, with Hawk-Eye showing the ball to be going down leg.

18:35 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

After 1 over,India 8/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 8 , Shubman Gill 0)

FOUR! Another boundary for Rohit in the first over, although this was a lot more aerial and narrowly flew past Mehidy at backward point. Confident start for the Indian skipper nevertheless!
 

18:32 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! First runs on the board for the Men in Blue with skipper Rohit producing a crisp cover drive off an overpitched delivery from Shoriful. The ball scorches away towards the cover boundary. IND 4/0

18:31 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walk out to begin India’s chase of the 257-run target. Bangladesh don’t quite have the match-winning total on the board, and will nearly an early wicket or two wicket the new ball if they are to defend that total on what is a belter of a surface.

Left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam to open the bowling for the Tigers.

18:23 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

Ravindra Jadeja during the mid-innings break: "I think wicket looks very good, there was no turn on the wicket, if we play simple cricket, we can chase it. The celebration was dedicated to our fielding coach. After every game, we get best fielder award and so I wanted to show the fielding coach, see I am here. I would say flat wicket, ball was coming nicely onto the bat, hopefully our batters can bat well in the middle and chase it down. You have to bowl into the stumps, there is nothing on the wicket for the spinners, so you have to bowl it tight."

After 50 overs,Bangladesh 256/8 ( Mustafizur Rahman 1 , Shoriful Islam 7)

SIX! Shoriful finishes off in style, going for a lofted drive over extra cover after Bumrah fired one in the slot for him! Spoils what was otherwise turning out to be a superb final over from the Indian pace spearhead, as Bangladesh post 256/8 on the board after opting to bat, collecting 18 runs for the loss of Mahmudullah's wicket in the last two overs!

17:59 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

BOWLED! Bumrah gets rid of Mahmudullah with a fiery yorker! It was a rocket of a delivery from the Indian pace spearhead, and there was little Mahmudullah, or most other batters across this generation, could have done to block that! The veteran all-rounder misses out on a half-century in the process! BAN 248/8

Mahmudullah b Bumrah 46(36)

17:52 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

Mahmdullah’s desperately trying to get the strike back later in the over, but Mustafizur isn’t able to clear the in-field for an easy single. Two more overs left in the innings, and Mahmudullah will hope to get Bangladesh close to 270 while also bringing up his fifty.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE

FOUR! Short and wide from Bumrah, Mahmudullah opens the face of his bat and guides the ball towards third man, picking the gap between slip and backward point. He moves to 36 with that hit. BAN 237/7
