END OF OVER:
20 | 8 Runs 3 Wkts | IND: 221/9 | RR: 11.05

  • Rishad Hossain4-0-55-3
  • Tanzim Hasan Sakib4-0-50-2

8.37pm So that does it for India's innings. A poor effort from the Bangladesh spinners has allowed them to get to an above-par total on a pitch that started as a tacky surface. The spinners frequently missed their lengths, and bowled a no-ball too. India will be confident but you never can tell when there is dew in on a small ground. I will hand over the commentary for the second innings to Ekanth

Rishad Hossain to MP Yadav, 1 run, Mayank Yadav swings hard, but doesn't manage to hit this in the air. Gets just the single to long-on
19.5
W
Rishad Hossain to Arshdeep Singh, OUT, too ambitious. Rishad goes short of a length, gets extra bounce on the legbreak, Arshdeep looks to pull it hard, gets a big top edge. Washington won't get strike

Arshdeep Singh c †Litton Das b Rishad Hossain 6 (1m 2b 0x4 1x6) SR: 300.00

Rishad Hossain to Arshdeep Singh, SIX, no singles for the Singh. This slog has been nailed. Rishad too full, in the wheelhouse, and Arsh gets down on a knee to slog-sweep this to the biggest part of the ground

Arshdeep Singh comes in. Memories of the slog in the SL ODI fresh on everyone's mind

19.3
W
Rishad Hossain to Varun, OUT, instead of the single, he tries the big shot after stepping out of the crease and offers a catch to long-off. Washington stranded at the other end

CV Varun c Parvez Hossain Emon b Rishad Hossain 0 (1m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Rishad Hossain to Varun, no run, short ball, fired in, but he is beaten on the pull. Washington at the other end would have hoped he would have got some bat on this

In comes C Varun

W
Rishad Hossain to Pandya, OUT, Rishad gets the length right now. Not short, but nowhere close to driving length. Pandya sweeps himself off his feet trying to impart power into this shot down the ground. He does manage to get an incredible amount of power into this but still not enough to clear the straight sweeper cover

HH Pandya c Mehidy Hasan Miraz b Rishad Hossain 32 (25m 19b 2x4 2x6) SR: 168.42

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Parag, SIX, too full, Parag arches back, and again short-arms it over long-off for a six. A bit of a helicopter to that shot

Mustafizur Rahman to Pandya, SIX, too full. A slight error from the Fizz, and Pandya pounces on it. Lofts it sweetly over long-on for yet another six. Slower ball yes, but too full

RK Singh c Jaker Ali b Taskin Ahmed 53 (51m 29b 5x4 3x6) SR: 182.75
