This loss should hurt India, more so because they were 96 for one at one stage. India were rusty, and their middle order was way off the mark. India have some things to worry about, like the form of their captain MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, who occupy very crucial spots in the batting line up.
Young Mustafizur Rahman has been named the Man of the Match for his excellent bowling today. Always good to see young bowlers bustling on to the scene with such impressive displays. My colleague Amit Banerjee feels MS Dhoni was not right in pushing Mustafizur Rahim away deliberately. Do you think so?
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 228/10 in 46 overs: It is all over! Shakib traps Umesh Yadav in front of the wickets and India have suffered a 79-run humiliation at the hands of Bangladesh.
BATTING: Bhuvneshwar Kumar 25 (21),
OUT! Umesh Yadav lbw Shakib al Hasan 2 (11)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 227/9 in 45 overs: Bhuvneshwar hits over mid off on the fourth ball for a boundary off Mashrafe. India add another six runs to their total.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 219/9 in 42.4 overs: WHAT A CATCH! Mohit Sharma plays a late cut of sorts but Mushfiqur Rahim takes a one-handed blinder to get rid of the Indian batsman. Bangladesh one-wicket away from a win.
BATTING: Bhuvneshwar Kumar 18 (12),
OUT! Mohit Sharma c Mushfiqur Rahim b Mashrafe Mortaza 11 (19)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 212/8 in 42 overs: Bhuvneshwar Kumar is going all out against Bangladesh. After getting a four he slams a six over midwicket off Shakib. 11 runs added from the over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 201/8 in 41 overs: Mustafizur is continuing in search of his sixth wicket on debut. And he would have had it as well, a dolly from Mohit in his follow through is spilled. Mohit ends the over with a four, takes India past 200.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 197/8 in 40 overs: Shakib comes back on. It has been a forgettable outing for India. Losing wickets in a heap has been the reason of their downfall. Only two runs scored in that over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 195/8 in 39 overs: OUT! And its a fifer on debut for Mustafizur, for whom it is a wonderful romantic debut, as described by Harsha Bhogle. Attempts to heave the delivery over long-on, but does not get enough bat on it, allowing Soumya Sarkar to take an easy catch at the position. It is virtually over for the Indians now, with the Bangladeshis eagerly awaiting the victory. Wicket-maiden for Mustafizur!
OUT! Ravindra Jadeja c Soumya Sarkar b Mustafizur Rahman 32(42)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 195/7 in 38 overs: Bhuvneshwar takes three runs in the third ball of the over. Meanwhile, the required run-rate has rocketed to over nine per over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 188/5 in 36.5 overs: Mustafizur has another wicket! In and out for Ravichandran Ashwin who is caught behind on the first ball. India staring at defeat, that too a huge one.
BATTING: Ravindra Jadeja 29 (37)
OUT! Ravichandran Ashwin c Mushfiqur Rahim b Mustafizur Rahman 0 (1)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 188/6 in 36.4 overs: Mustafizur comes back on. He would not like to get involved into any other controversy, and he would like to do all the right things. Like cleaning up Suresh Raina. It’s game over for India?
BATTING: Ravindra Jadeja 29 (37)
OUT! Suresh Raina b Mustafizur Rahman 40 (40)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 180/5 in 36 overs: Good over for Bangladesh as India are able to manage only four runs from the over from Bangladeshi captain. They now need 128 runs from the remaining 14 overs.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 176/5 in 35 overs: Runs for India! It is Jadeja who is on the charge in this over, cracking one past point and then one past mid on. Little bit of sledging, or you can say, exchange of words still going on between the cricketers. Good over for India, 11 runs from it.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 165/5 in 34 overs: Mortaza comes back to replace Shakib. The asking rate is now touching nine an over. These two have put up a good little stand for India, but the job is far from done. All Raina would be thinking is of the remainder of the overs they have in hand. Indian batsmen scramble to add four more to their total.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 161/5 in 33 overs: Raina gets a four on the first ball and then two runs in the last five balls make it six from the over. India need 147 to win from 102. Gettable?
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 154/5 in 32 overs: Raina breaks the shackles with a huge six on the leg side. The remainder of the over sees singles being taken. India now need 154 runs from 108 balls.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 144/5 in 31 overs: The asking rate is around 8.30. I must say Jadeja has done well by spending quite a lot of time at the wicket. Bangladeshis are getting very verbal in the middle, Rod Tucker has summoned their captain to have a chat in the middle of the over. Hossain keeps it very tight throughout the over. Only three runs off it. India now need
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 141/5 in 30 overs: Bangladeshi bowlers are rushing through their overs. Another excellent over from Shakib comes to an end. One run scored. It is time for drinks.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 140/5 in 29 overs: Hossain continues. India are dealing in singles but it’s time they start getting the boundaries to keep the asking rate in check. Four runs scored off the over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 136/5 in 28 overs: Raina is off the strike on the fourth ball of the over. Jadeja takes a single on the fifth. Another single to end the over. India need 172 more from 22 overs.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 133/5 in 27 overs: What are the odds of India winning from here? It does not look very promising for them. Jadeja has been out of form for far too long and Raina cannot do it alone all by him self. Four runs added off Nasir’s over. India need 176 to win from 23 overs, at an asking rate of 7.50.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 129/5 in 26 overs: Another out of form batsman, Ravindra Jadeja has walked out to bat. The situation looks very bleak for India to bounce back from here. Bangladesh are making giant strides!
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 128/5 in 25.3 overs: I will not say Bangladeshis are wrong to say that was deliberate from the Indian captain. And this perhaps has earned them a wicket! The Stadium is in joy once again. Dhoni gets a thick outside edge and Rahim grabs it sharply. Shakib strikes! Dhoni walked off immediately.
BATTING: Suresh Raina 10 (11),
OUT! MS Dhoni c Mushfiqur Rahim b Shakib al Hasan 5 (7)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 126/4 in 25 overs: More drama! This is the second time in the day Mustafizur has gone in the way (perhaps deliberately) to block the batsman running towards non-strikers’ end. Dhoni, who would have seen Rohit being blocked earlier has no mercy — he wildly pushes the bowler. The umpire steps in. But the bowler looks hurt, and has walked back to the pavilion with the physio. The bowler did not fall, he only stumbled. Nasir Hossain completes the over.
BATTING: Suresh Raina 9 (10), MS Dhoni 4 (5)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 123/4 in 24 overs: When Dhoni walks out with India needing lots of runs, I think it is okay for their fans to get a little worried. Dhoni has been far off from his reputation of being a finisher. He has spoken about different approach in ODIs after Test retirement and the World Cup. Let’s see what the Indian skipper does. By the way, India have lost four wickets for 20 runs. In about 8 overs. Asking rate is hovering around seven. Seven runs come in that over from Mortaza for India. They now need 185 to win from 26 overs.
BATTING: Suresh Raina 8 (7), MS Dhoni 2 (2)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 115/4 in 23 overs: Rahane and Raina look to pick up. They have started looking for singles. Rahane gets one outside off, which he sends for a FOUR through cover. But then, is it Bangladesh’s day? Rahane caught at cover. A superb catch from the athletic Nasir Hossain.
BATTING: Suresh Raina 2 (3)
OUT! Ajinkya Rahane c Nasir Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 9 (25)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 107/3 in 22 overs: Rahane plays well on a ball outside off but the fielder at extra cover gets his hands on it. The required run rate has now gone past seven an over. Not very daunting but these wickets would put pressure on India. Two runs scored in the over from Taskin. He has now bowled six overs, taken 2 wickets and has given away 21 runs.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 105/3 in 21 overs: Suresh Raina blocks the first ball he faces. India now need 203 more runs from 29 overs. That wicket was Mustafizur’s first in ODI cricket.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 105/3 in 20.5 overs: Bangladesh are looking for wickets, and they have called upon Mustafizur to try and see if he can snaffle one or two here. India’s dip in scoring has resulted the asking rate going near seven now. And there is the wicket! Rohit is foxed on a slow ball and Mashrafe takes a dolly at mid off. The Shere-Bangla is now breaching all decibel levels.
BATTING: Ajinkya Rahane 2 (15)
OUT! Rohit Sharma c Mashrafe Mortaza b Mustafizur Rahman 63 (68)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 104/2 in 20 overs: India are getting stuck here, which is not good for them. They have scored about 7-8 runs in the last four overs. Rahane is off the mark on the 11th ball he faces in this chase.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 102/2 in 19 overs: There was pin drop silence when India were going strong, and now the Shere-Bangla is erupting with joy and hopes of Bangladeshi comeback in the match. Rubel vs Kohli is one contest we all are waiting for, let’s see what we get in the next two games. Only one run scored of Rubel’s over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 101/2 in 18 overs: Rahane’s calm approach is what India needs at the moment. He starts off with couple of leaves and a solid push on the off side. Final ball left alone! Wicket-maiden for Taskin. India now need 207 runs from 32 overs. The asking rate is close to 6.50.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 101/2 in 17.2 overs:Would you believe this? Virat Kohli chases one very wide outside off and gets an edge, and once again Mushfiqur is able to take the ball safely. Taskin has struck again, and this one is a HUGE blow to India. Need a partnership now. Ajinkya Rahane walks in.
BATTING: Rohit Sharma 61 (62),
OUT! Virat Kohli c Mushfiqur Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 1 (2)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 101/1 in 17 overs: 100 up for India, and if they preserve wickets then Bangladesh will be completely demoralised. Six runs were added from the over form Rubel.
BATTING: Rohit Sharma 56 (58), Virat Kohli 1 (2)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 95/1 in 16 overs: OUT! Shikhar Dhawan is gone, caught behind. At last Mushfiqur Rahim takes a catch today. Taskin takes the crucial wicket. Much needed wicket for the hosts. A strange knock for Dhawan has now ended. It is time for drinks.
BATTING: Rohit Sharma 56 (58)
OUT: Shikhar Dhawan c Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 30 (38)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 90/0 in 15 overs: Half century for Rohit Sharma. 26th ODI fifty for him. A risk free knock for him. India are doing it quite easily. Shikhar Dhawan has also started to up his scoring rate. Bangladesh need a breakthrough soon.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 83/0 in 14 overs: Rubel comes back from the other end. Six singles form this over. He is going to be the key bowler for Bangladesh today. Can he deliver? Time will tell.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 77/0 in 13 overs: Spin for the first time in this innings. Its Nasir Hossain who has been called upon to bowl and not a bad over indeed. Indian spinners bowled well earlier in the day. It will be interesting to see what the Bangladesh slow bowlers bowl.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 69/0 in 11 overs: Rubel bowls his second over. Just three runs from it. He was unfortunate in his first over. Bangladesh have already dropped two catches. This is not helping their cause. India on the other hand are doing all-right at this moment. No hurry for them.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 66/0 in 10 overs: There is drama in the middle. Dhawan is DROPPED by Rahim behind the wickets, and Bangladesh are celebrating because no one saw that the catch being spilled. The bowler did not see the drop, neither did the umpire. And while Dhawan was walking back to the hut, Soumya Sarkar picked the ball and ran the batsman out. Never seen such. The umpire from the square leg comes running in and clarifies the situation. Two runs and a lot of drama in that over from Mushfiqur.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 64/0 in 9 overs: Rubel Hossain is into the attack now. Rohit pulls one but the ball goes high in the air and drops in no man’s land. Rohit then shows what he wanted to do — another short ball and the batsman comfortably pulls it for a FOUR. The asking rate has fallen below six now. DROPPED! Dhawan gets an outside edge and Rahim fails to collect. The ball flips his gloves and races down the boundary where it is stopped. Nine runs added from the over.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 55/0 in 8 overs: Rohit puts one down the ground and collects three runs. Shikhar has not got much of strike, as it is Rohit who has been going around quite well in this chase. 50 up for India! Rohit hits one straight down the ground off Mustafizur.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 46/0 in 7 overs: Mustafizur came in Rohit’s way while taking a risky single in the last over. Even though the bowler apologised, Rohit looks angry. The first ball is slammed over square leg for a SIX and the next is pushed between extra cover and point for FOUR. The third ball is defended on the frontfoot. Wow! Rohit at his best — ball pitched outside off easily creamed through cover for another FOUR. India are picking up after a sluggish start.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 31/0 in 6 overs: Change in the bowling attack as the Bangladeshi skipper Mashrafe Mortaza comes on to bowl. Indians are dealing in singles and doubles at the moment. They now need 277 runs to win from 44 overs.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 28/0 in 5 overs: Good over for India. They get 5 runs via overthrow as the ball diverted after hitting Rohit’s bat. The bowler then beats Shikhar Dhawan on a ball that comes into him, and the wicketkeeper is also not able to stop it.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 17/0 in 4 overs: Dhawan is beaten outside off on the first two balls from Taskin. Both the deliveries were angled away from the batsman. Single on the third ball with Dhawan getting a thick edge, falling short of third man. And on the fourth ball Rohit is beaten outside off. A single on the fifth ball towards third man. And there it is! The Dhawan drive through cover for a FOUR!
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 11/0 in 3 overs: The left-arm pacer Mustafizur is maintaining a good line to Rohit. The batsman takes a single and Dhawan, facing his first ball from the left-hander, is hit high on the backfoot. Some nervousness for the Indian openers. Good over for Bangladesh, ends with Rohit being beaten once again outside off.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 7/0 in 2 overs: Taskin Ahmed to bowl the second over. He starts off with a massive wide down the leg, which races away for a boundary. The next ball is on the mark, beats Rohit’s bat and the Bangladeshis once again appeal loudly for a wicket. Rohit is hit on the backfoot, but a little high. Dhawan has a go on the first ball that was moving away from him. India need 301 more to win from 48 overs.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE INDIA 1/0 in 1 over: 11 Bangladeshi cricketers and their supporters in the stadium appeal together for a leg-before against Rohit Sharma on the first ball off Mustafizur Rahman. They kept appealing for long but the umpire was not interested. There was a thick inside edge onto the pads. Rohit is then beaten outside off, after which he is very cautious. A risky single taken to end the over.
BATTING: Rohit Sharma 0 (6), Shikhar Dhawan 0 (0)
After the innings break the players are back in the middle. It would get tricky if India lose early wickets, and a strong partnership will certainly thwart Bangladesh’s hopes.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 307 in 49.4 overs: Mortaza gets two FOURs on the leg side off Mohit Sharma on the first two balls. And wicket! Rohit Sharma takes a splendid catch diving forward at mid off to end Bangladeshi innings!
BATTING: Mustafizur Rahman 0 (0)
OUT! Mashrafe Mortaza c Rohit Sharma b Mohit Sharma 21 (18)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 299/9 in 49 overs: Mortaza and Taskin take a risky run and the replays show the skipper was safe. A easy catch, however, on the fourth ball to Virat Kohli who gets it straight down his throat off Taskin’s bat. But then, a goof up by the Indian vice-captain at short midwicket results in an extra run for Bangladesh, and a chance for India to bowl them out.
OUT! Taskin Ahmed c Virat Kohli b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1 (4)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 294/8 in 48 overs: Mortaza gets hold of one and hits over mid on for a much-needed boundary. Umesh is not able to remove the batsmen, who somehow manage to add few more crucial runs to their team total.
BATTING: Mashrafe Mortaza 10 (10), Taskin Ahmed 1 (2)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 286/8 in 47 overs: Another wicket! Rubel gets a FOUR between point and short third man, and then is holed out at mid off on the final ball from Bhuvneshwar. Once again, will Bangladesh get to 300?
BATTING: Mashrafe Mortaza 3 (6), Taskin Ahmed 0 (1)
OUT! Rubel Hossain c Mohit Sharma b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 4 (5)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 282/7 in 46 overs: Umesh gives width and Nasir slams it on the off side for a FOUR. This was after the batsman was hit on the helmet. What an effort from Rahane, who covers a lot of ground and puts in a dive to save a certain boundary. And then there is a wicket, second in the game for Umesh. Nasir caught by Ravindra Jadeja.
BATTING: Mashrafe Mortaza 3 (6)
OUT! Nasir Hossain c Ravindra Jadeja b Umesh Yadav 34 (27)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 273/6 in 45 overs: Apart from the four leg byes, there was nothing wrong in that over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Six runs added by the hosts to their total.
Here is Virat Kohli with MS Dhoni’s wicketkeeping gloves:
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 267/6 in 44 overs: Mashrafe Mortaza has walked out to bat and he starts off with two dot balls. Will Bangladesh go past 300?
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 267/6 in 43.4 overs: Would you believe this? Virat Kohli has taken MS Dhoni’s gloves and he is keeping the wickets without pads. As bizarre as it can get. And there is a wicket as well! Shakib has been caught at point! Umesh Yadav has finally something to smile about.
BATTING: Nasir Hossain 26 (19)
OUT! Shakib al Hasan c Rohit Sharma b Umesh Yadav 52 (66),
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 264/5 in 43 overs: Kohli is fooled to bowl a big wide down the leg side by Shakib. But you will have to give it to him because his slow balls at good line and length have not given Bangladesh many opportunities to attack.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 52 (66), Nasir Hossain 24 (17)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 257/5 in 42 overs: A fine effort from Shakib as he brings up his 20th half-century in ODI cricket. Bangladesh can now start looking to attack with only eight overs left in the game.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 50 (63), Nasir Hossain 21 (14)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 250/5 in 41 overs: Virat Kohli to bowl now. Surely, India are looking to take the pace off the ball. Nasir and Shakib continue to work the ball around the park, picking singles at will. A good over from the vice-captain.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 48 (61), Nasir Hossain 16 (10)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 245/5 in 40 overs: After a top edge clearing the fine leg, Nasir opens up with a good clean hit for a six down the wicket over long off. He gets four more runs, this time a similar-looking stroke but on long on. Good over for Bangladesh, 13 runs come off Jadeja.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 45 (57), Nasir Hossain 14 (8)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 232/5 in 39 overs: Ashwin to bowl his final over in the game. Shakib is not able to get off the strike for the three balls on the bounce. An excellent over comes to end, and with it the spell.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 44 (56), Nasir Hossain 2 (3)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 229/5 in 38 overs: Jadeja continues. The Bangladeshi batsmen are dealing in singles and doubles at the moment. And there it is! Jadeja has cleaned up Rahman who was looking a little more confident with his strokeplay. He tries to sweep the ball but misses completely. Off-stump knocked out. Nasir Hossain walks out.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 43 (52), Nasir Hossain 1 (1)
OUT! Sabbir Rahman b Ravindra Jadeja 41 (44)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 226/4 in 37 overs: Ashwin is back for his final two overs and Rahman decides to go big — a hige six is hit over long on. Ashwin improvises to let the batsmen take only two runs off the next three balls. The scoring rate is above six an over now. 11 runs added form the over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 40 (49), Sabbir Rahman 41 (42)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 215/4 in 36 overs: How many do you reckon Bangladesh would be able to get from here? Surely, a target in excess of 300 looks possible. Jadeja comes on after the drinks break. Oh dear! The umpire is hit! Shakib dances down the wicket and hits straight, and the umpire Rod Tucker moves but still takes a blow on the hand. He’s okay. Two runs added off that over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 38 (47), Sabbir Rahman 33 (38)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 213/4 in 35 overs: 200 comes up in the 35th over, for which Mohit Sharma comes in to bowl. Glorious cut in the third delivery, which pierces through the fielders between gully and backward point. Consecutive fours! Shakib pulls the fourth ball towards mid-wicket for another boundary! Single off the fifth delivery. The projected score currently is hovering around 300. Sabbir smashes the final ball towards midwicket to get the third four of the over! 15 runs scored in the over! And its drinks now.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 37 (42), Sabbir Rahman 32 (37)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 198/4 in 34 overs: Jadeja comes in to bowl and bowls the worst delivery of the day in the second ball, with the ball slipping out of his grip and getting tossed high up in the air. Shakib plays the ball down towards extra cover, as the umpire calls for a no-ball. Six runs off the over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 26 (37), Sabbir Rahman 28 (36)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 192/4 in 33 overs: Sabbir on strike. Dot off the first two deliveries. Excellent running in the third delivery as Shakib sends the ball towards short fine-leg and collects a quick couple. Drives towards deep point in the fourth delivery only to collect a single. Three runs off the over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 22 (32), Sabbir Rahman 27 (34)

LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 183/4 in 31 overs: Yadav comes in to bowl the next over. Dot off the first ball, followed by a dot off the second. Inswinger in the third delivery.

Single off the last ball.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 18 (26), Sabbir Rahman 22 (28)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 175/4 in 30 overs: Dot off the first three of deliveries, as Jadeja bowls tight for the first three deliveries.

BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 15 (21), Sabbir Rahman 5 (15)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 159/4 in 27 overs: Raina is his for a boundary by Shakib on a short ball. Raina then improvises and keeps line tight, not allowing the batsmen to score off him easily. Good over from Bangladesh, eight runs added from the over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 13 (18), Sabbir Rahman 4 (12)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 151/4 in 26 overs: Ashwin comes on for his eighth over. There was an appeal for leg before but the ball was hitting Rahman outside off. Shakib is trying too many risky late cuts off the Indian spinner. Only two runs from the over.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 7 (15), Sabbir Rahman 2 (9)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 149/4 in 25 overs: Raina continues. Excellent as ever as Bangladeshi batsmen are able to take only two runs off him. The run rate has fallen below six an over now. It will be correct to say India are on top at the moment.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 6 (11), Sabbir Rahman 1 (7)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 147/4 in 24 overs: With that wicket Bangladesh have lost all advantage and momentum. Sabbir Rahman has walked out to bat, and Bangladesh would be worried as neither of Shakib or Rahman are known for batting for long spans.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 4 (8), Sabbir Rahman 0 (3)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 146/4 in 23.3 overs: Rahim has fallen! Poor, poor stroke from the middle-order mainstay. For some obnoxious reason Rahim was looking to play his big strokes against Ashwin, who was bowling very slow in the air. This time Rahim dances down, and hits straight to Rohit Sharma at long off.
BATTING: Shakib al Hasan 4 (8)
OUT! Mushfiqur Rahim c Rohit Sharma b Ravichandran Ashwin 14 (19)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 145/3 in 23 overs: Rahim gets going as he cuts past the short third man to get a FOUR off Raina’s first ball, and then collects couple of runs with strokes on both the sides of the wickets. Rahim once again hits in the air, but drops short to the deep midwicket. 10 runs added from the over.
BATTING: Mushfiqur Rahim 14 (16), Shakib al Hasan 4 (8)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 135/3 in 22 overs: India have done really well to pull back things in their control. A wicket of two here would affect Bangladesh heavily. For some reason Mushfiqur is trying to hit big against Ashwin. The run rate has now dropped below 6.5.
BATTING: Mushfiqur Rahim 5 (12), Shakib al Hasan 3 (7)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 133/3 in 21 overs: Raina continues for his sixth over. I reckon Dhoni will bowl him out here and then call upon Ravindra Jadeja. Raina has done a brilliant job for India as far as keeping the batsmen quiet, is concerned. Only four runs from the over.
BATTING: Mushfiqur Rahim 4 (8), Shakib al Hasan 2 (5)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 129/3 in 20 overs: Shakib al Hasan has walked out to bat. It is now up to the two seasoned Bangladeshi batsmen to bail them out of trouble. India would not let go of this advantage now.
BATTING: Mushfiqur Rahim 2 (5), Shakib al Hasan 0 (2)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 129/3 in 19.4 overs: The run rate has gone down below six an over now. And another wicket! Ashwin on fire! Litton trapped in front of the wickets!!!
BATTING: Mushfiqur Rahim 1 (5)
OUT! Litton Das lbw Ravichandran Ashwin 8 (13)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE BANGLADESH 127/2 in 19 overs: Raina continues. Only one run off the first four balls as he has been simply excellent for India. End of the over with only one run scored off it.
BATTING: Litton Das 7 (10), Mushfiqur Rahim 1 (5)
