Live cricket score India A 16/0 | Overs 4 | Batting: Shikhar Dhawan 12(11), Abhinav Mukund 4(12): Shafiul Islam and Rubel Hossain have started bowling for the visitors. While Dhawan has starting taking on the bowlers with three fours already to his name, Abhinav seems to be taking the slower way.

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 188/6 | Overs 42 | Batting: Sabbir Rahman 82(98): When the partnership between Shuvagata  and Rehman was working for the visitors, Varun Aaron again does the job, dismissed the former for a 95-ball 62 in the 42nd over. As Saqlain Sajib is the new batsman in, Rehman is the only batsman left for Bangladesh now. Aaron already has four wickets to his name, can he get a five-wicket haul before the day ends? OUT! Shuvagata Hom c Karun Nair b Varun Aaron 62(95)

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 182/5 | Overs 41.4 | Batting: Shuvagata Hom 62(94), Sabbir Rahman 86(102): Ravindra Jadeja has already bowled 10 overs, no success yet. Shikhar Dhawan will want Varun Aaron who got the early breakthroughs in the first four overs, to repeat that spell, if Shuvagata and Rehman go on to hit a ton each, that will nullify India’s excellent start to day one of the three-day game.

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 173/5 | Overs 40 | Batting: Shuvagata Hom 58(90), Sabbir Rahman 82(98): Finally, the visitors have built a partnership, the last wicket fell in the 14th over and since then Bangladesh have added about 125 runs on board.

The 28-year-old who has represneted the senior team in seven Tests and 4 ODIs has been impressive in this series, with the bat especially in such difficuly situations. It is vital for these two to build up a massive partnership till the end of day one.

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 96/5 | Overs 23. | Batting: Shuvagata Hom 12(26), Sabbir Rahman 50(58): A fighting half-century for Rahamn, a well deserved one. he came in to bat when Bangladesh were three down with just six runs on board after four overs. While the others batsmen like Liton Das, Nasir Hossain, Soumya Sarkar and Mominul Haque threw away their wickets, Rahamn has held nerves so far, playing a very responsible innings.

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 58/5 | Overs 14.3 | Batting: , Sabbir Rahman 24(35): Abhimanyu Mithun brings the breakthrough for India A in the 14th over, removes the dangerous Nasir Hossain for a 28-ball 32, that included seven boundaries.

Can he survive the Indian attack? Let’s see! OUT! Nasir Hossain c Naman Ojha b Abhimanyu Mithun 32(28)

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 50/4 | Overs 13.4 | Batting: Nasir Hossain 28(23), Sabbir Rahman 16(28): Finally, fifty for the visitors. Both these batsmen are trying their best to bring back Bangladesh’s innings on track. Nasir Hossain was the top scorer in one-dayers seriss with 176 runs that included a century and fifty and eight wickets to his name. Also, he was the top wicket-taker with eight scalps from three games. It is very important for him to stick around till the end to ensure they post a decent total against the side that includes the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Naman Ojha, Ravindra Jadeja and local talents like Shreyas Iyer.

Live cricket score Bangladesh A 29/4 | Overs 8 | Batting: Nasir Hossain 18(11), Sabbir Rahman 9(12):  A third wicket for Varun Aaron, Liton Das departs for a nine-ball duck in the sixth over. Das who has had a decent series failed to deliver for the side when they needed it the most. Nasir Hossain is the new man in and it will not be wrong to assume hew is the last hope left for the visitors for today. If he is dismissed early, it will be difficult seeing Bnagladesh even reaching to a score of 60 or 70. OUT! Liton Das c Baba Aparajith b Varun Aaron 0(9)
