Shami to Mahmudullah, out Caught by Rohit!! Taken! Poky push outside off, the ball flew off the edge and this time Rohit didn’t make any mistake. That could have been left alone but Mahmudullah pushed at it and paid the price. India break the stand and the backbone of this batting order as well. The capitulation continues. […]

Shami to Mithun, out Caught by Agarwal!! Another one bites the dust. This is a tame dismissal. Shami strikes again to rattle Bangladesh as they slip to 44/4. Bends his back and extracts spongy bounce to floor Mithun, who wanted to pull. Gets hurried by the pace and bounce, ends up mistiming a dolly to mid-wicket. Gets […]

Shami to Mominul, out Lbw!! Huge appeal from Shami for lbw, umpire Rod Tucker ain’t too interested and rejects it. Shami is so convinced that he walks up to his skipper asking him to go for the review. This looked really close on first viewing. Not a no-ball. Flat line on the UltraEdge. Over to ball-tracking.. Three reds and […]

Ishant to Shadman Islam, out Bowled!! I’m afraid this is turning pear-shaped for Bangladesh – lovely delivery from Ishant, pitched outside off and jagged back in sharply, Shadman didn’t do a lot wrong actually. He did play for the swing, but was a tad late in getting his bat down. The ball zipped through the gap […]

U Yadav to Kayes, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Lovely ball from Umesh, this was full and this one curved back with pace, Kayes was not getting anywhere close on the drive, the ball grazed the inside edge and flattened the leg-stump. He never looked at ease, Kayes and this was always coming. Perhpas, he could have played […]

Mehidy Hasan to Jadeja, SIX, comes down on it like a house on fire and swipes it across the line to send it over deep mid for a sixer. Big six! India continue to bat with intent. Ravindra Jadeja is playing brilliantly so far and still unbeaten at the score of 60 runs off 76 balls […]

Abu Jayed to U Yadav, SIX, whips it off the pads and Yadav’s fascination of hitting sixes continues. That was taken off the pads quite splendidly. Six more added to the tally Ebadat Hossain to U Yadav, SIX, fuller delivery and Yadav hammers it over long-on. Didn’t time it but it still was well connected. Rahim was […]

Mehidy Hasan to Agarwal, SIX, Sehwag-esque way to reach his second double hundred. The arms go up in the air and Virat is all smiles in the dressing room. Mayank gestures to his skipper pointing his two fingers. Guess, Virat egged him to convert his 150 into a double century. Now he wants Mayank to score a […]

Taijul Islam to Jadeja, SIX, as effortless as six-hitting can get! Stays put in the crease and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. No one moved and Jadeja enjoyed it. India now took the lead of more than 300 runs with the help of Mayank Agarwal’s brilliant double century. Mayank scored 243 runs off […]
