That's all from us, folks. India have managed to keep their run of consecutive series victories going. The hosts have once again won a Test in not-so-helpful conditions for their bowlers and that should boost their confidence. They next host Australia for a 4-match Test series, starting on 23rd February. The visitors, on the other hand, will be happy with the fight but will know they could have done better. They will go back home with quite some positives. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and will join us for the future games. We bid you goodbye. Cheers!
Indian skipper and Man of the Match, Virat Kohli feels that it was a really good wicket to bat on throughout the five days and also a good toss to win. Applauds the opposition for batting impressively well in the first innings as it meant that they had to work hard for their wickets. Opines that the track was still a good one on Day 5 and it did not offer much, so the bowlers had to do the hard work. Praises Ishant Sharma for bowling well with the older ball, credits Bhuvneshwar Kumar too. Mentions that the presence of the two world class spinners allows him to attack with the pacers. Adds that he is really happy with his batting at the moment. Admits that they thought England was their biggest series but having beaten them 4-0, there is pressure on them to win against Australia. Ends by saying that the guys are really looking forward for the challenge and hopes to perform even better. Applauds the crowd for turning out in numbers as it also pumps up the players.
Bangladesh skipper, Mushfiqur Rahim feels that they created a lot of opportunities in the first innings and it would have been good if they had restricted them to a score under 550-600. Calls it a good performance from the guys as he is proud of them, especially the lower order. Opines that they played sensibly against the number one side in the world and it was a good learning curve for them. Appreciates the fact that they batted more than 100 overs in both the innings. Ends by saying that the guys played well this time and is looking forward to the games against Sri Lanka to get better.
India's batsmen rattled up quick runs in a session in their second innings and that meant Bangladesh had a mammoth target to win. Realistically, a draw was the probable result they were aiming but ended stumps with three wickets down. They did fight hard on the final day but quite a few loose shots cost them big. Mahmudullah was the only batsman to show a lengthy resolve. Bangladesh did compete well but would have wanted to take the game deep into the day. Ashwin and Jadeja were brilliant while Ishant was incisive too. They will acknowledge the fight but will also look to get better and win more games.
Despite staring at a huge score, Bangladesh didn't wilt as they battled hard with Rahim's ton leading the defiance. Shakib and Mehedi also dug in with valuable fifties. They did concede a big lead of 299 but had eaten up enough time for Kohli to shrug off the thought of enforcing the follow-on. India's pacers bowled quite well as the spinners were reduced to a supporting role for a change.
An emphatic win for India to seal the one-off Test. Right from opting to bat, the hosts hardly put a foot wrong with the batsmen piling up a massive total. The in-form skipper, Kohli's double ton was the highlight while Vijay and Saha also compiled centuries. It was a complete batting effort as everybody sans Rahul chipped in. Barring Taijul and to an extent Mehedi, the rest of the bowlers were highly ineffective for Bangladesh.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Taskin Ahmed, out, OUT! INDIA WIN BY 208 RUNS! Very full on leg stump, Taskin looks to flick but is struck on the pads. Big appeal for lbw and one of the close-in fielders has taken the catch as well. Erasmus thinks there is an inside edge and so denies the lbw appeal. However, as the fielder has taken it, he has to go upstairs to confirm if there was a bat involved. The soft signal is OUT. Replays show that there was no inside edge. So, it is a not out regarding the catch. Kohli then nonchalantly opts for the review, which was obvious. Ball Tracker shows that the impact is in line and that's hitting the leg stump. So, that completes a quite comfortable win for India.
What's happened there? There was an appeal for lbw but Erasmus feels there is an inside edge. The catch has been taken too. He isn't sure and decides to refer it upstairs. Soft signal is OUT. Okay, replays show that there is no bat involved. So, India decide to review the lbw eventually.

Ravindra Jadeja to Taijul Islam, out, OUT! GONE! Tea will now be extended with this wicket. A bit short around off, Taijul goes back to pull but miscues it straight up in the air. India's openers were the two men converging under the ball.

A ripper from Jadeja as the ball spits off the deck and turns away from Mehedi who looks to block. Extra bounce and it's well taken by Saha. Big appeal for caught behind and it's given by the umpire as well. We will have to look at the replays to see if there was any glove and maybe Mehedi could have used the DRS. Replays show that there was a faint amount of glove, Snicko confirms the same.

Ishant Sharma to Kamrul Islam Rabbi, no run, BIG APPEAL! Very full inswinger and Rabbi misses it to be rapped on the front pad. Looked very close to the naked eye but the lbw appeal is turned down. Ishant cannot believe it and neither can his teammates. India don't have a review left and so it's a reprieve for Rabbi as replays show that it was hitting middle stump with the impact also in line. The umpire probably thought the impact was just outside the line.
76.5
Ishant Sharma to Kamrul Islam Rabbi, no run, That looked comical! Back of a length around off, Rabbi is expecting the bumper and looks to evade the ball by taking his eyes off. The ball doesn't rise much and goes just over the off pole.

KAMRUL ISLAM RABBI is the new man in.

The ball stays a bit low and Rahman is beaten by it as he stands deep in his crease to defend it. He misses and he gets hit on his pads. A loud appeal and the umpire gives it out.

Or will the visitors be able to provide resistance? Mahmudullah and Sabbir Rahman will continue with the bat while Ravindra Jadeja will begin the proceedings with the ball for India.
.... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ....
Good session for India to start the day. They got only two wickets but it were the big scalps of Shakib and Rahim. The former was undone by a Jadeja special while the skipper had a brain fade to gift his wicket to Ashwin. Amidst the mess, Mahmudullah batted solidly and has a very nervy Sabbir with him who has tried to look positive. India's spinners were superb while the quicks kept it tight too. The pitch hasn't played that badly and Bangladesh will hope to fight on for a draw, if not an improbable win. They need a big partnership for that to happen. Join us in a while for the post-lunch session to see how things pan out.
66.6
Umesh Yadav to Mahmudullah, no run, Fuller and around off, pushed gently back to the bowler. The Indians were ready to move on for bowling one more over before the break.

62.6
Umesh Yadav to Mahmudullah, FOUR, FOUR! STREAKY RUNS! Fuller ball outside off, Mahmudullah goes hard at it with a drive and gets an outside edge that flies through the slip cordon towards the third man fence.

Umesh Yadav to Sabbir Rahman, 1 run, RUN OUT CHANCE MISSED! That would have been a freaky dismissal. Good length outside off, punched off the back foot the left of cover for a brisk single. Sabbir was lazy in the running as Jadeja's throw comes to the bowler's end end. The former drops his bat as a reflex and had the ball hit the stumps, he would have been a goner!

Sabbir Rahman is the next man in.
52.4
Ravichandran Ashwin to Mushfiqur Rahim, out, OUT! Ashwin strikes in his very first over! Bad choice of shot after such a settled knock. The big fish departs and the hosts will be really elated after getting him as he was really vital in the first innings. Floated outside off, Rahim again tries to reach to the pitch of the ball but he is unable to do it this time. He still goes for the shot and the bat turns in his hand as he just hits in the air towards the extra cover region. Jadeja traces back a few steps and takes a fine catch.

49.4

The players and umpires are making their way out to the middle. If Bangladesh are to harbor any hopes of saving the game, they need a really strong first session. They need their senior men to get going in a big way to put up a fight. MAHMUDULLAH is on strike for the first ball of the day.
Pitch Report - Sanjay Manjrekar says that the infection (cracks) hasn't spread yet. Adds that it is still a really good batting wicket as the cracks are mainly visible on the fuller lengths. Opines that Bangladesh have two batsmen in the middle and two more to come as they look to survive the whole day. Ends by saying that the visitors need to take it to the final hour of play and then assess the situation before they think of going for a win.
The pitch has started to turn and that will benefit the Indian spinners. The spinners would like to make life difficult for the Bangladeshi batsmen who will be looking to bat out the day and achieve a draw, if not a win. Promises to be an exciting day. Stay tuned as the action isn't far away.
Hello and a warm welcome for the final day of the one-off Test match between India and Bangladesh. It should be an exciting day of cricket as the hosts are in sight of victory. They have dominated for the most parts of this Test match but the visitors have also shown resistance while batting. They would once again like to put a good challenge today.
.... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ....
It was a day of contrast for India's bowlers. Their pacers breathed fire in the morning session, leaving the spinners to be sidekicks. However, the roles reversed, as expected in the final session with Ashwin and Jadeja causing plenty of problems for the batsmen with the track opening up just a bit. It will be a huge task for Bangladesh tomorrow to save this game although not impossible. Morning session will be vital for the tourists. Tune in at 0930 local, 0400 GMT for the final day's play. Till then, it's goodbye from us.
Another day that belonged to India. They managed to clean up Bangladesh in the morning session although Rahim did conjure up a defiant ton to keep the hosts at bay for a while. India then rattled up quick runs by the tea break and set Bangladesh a massive target to win. The visitors lost Tamim early but Mominul and Sarkar seemed to steady the ship before both departed in rather quick succession. Shakib and Mahmudullah managed to avoid further dents but the task ahead is humongous for Bangladesh.
