IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: STUMPS! India 19/0 after 8 overs, trail Bangladesh by 208 runs
A day that could have belonged to Bangladesh had it not been for a couple of poor shot selections, particularly from Shakib and Litton. Rahul and Gill survive in addition to their team taking 10 wickets so it is pretty clear that this day belongs to the visitors now. Has to be said that Bangladesh did bowl well today, a lot of close calls, even a wasted DRS, but no cigar. They will be looking for some early wickets tomorrow, India will be hoping that at least two players from their top five can score big. See ya!

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: SIX! Gill goes aerial
Probably the best way of putting some pressure back on the bowlers, albeit the most risky as well. Gill skips down the track and sends the ball soaring over the sigh-screen. Gill has struggled to get any control so far but he knew exactly what he was doing there. India 17/0 in 6 overs.

Dec 22, 2022 03:49 PM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: FOUR! Lucky for Gill

2nd Test Day 1 live score: Bangladesh 227 all out, Ashwin ends the innings with 4
Low full toss from Ashwin, no.11 Khaled Ahmed goes after it but doesn't quite get the required connection. Caught by Unadkat at deep midwicket. Ashwin also ends with four wickets, as did Umesh while Unadkat has two. Bangladesh have fallen in a heap in the third session and all those starts that their top five batters got without converting into a big score has come back to bite them.
-
Dec 22, 2022 03:21 PM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: OUT! That's it for Mominul!
Strange dismissal to end a knock as steady as this one. Mominul looking to leave but it seems to have taken his glove on the way through to the keeper. Ashwin sent in the carrom ball here and that seems to have done the trick. That's his third wicket. Bangladesh 227/9 in 73.3 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 03:17 PM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: OUT! Four for Umesh Yadav

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: OUT! And Umesh gets his third!
Big appeal for LBW from India but the umpire turns it down. Rishabh Pant tells Rahul that it might be a good review to take and the Indian captain goes for it. Reverse swing from Umesh on that length delivery, hits the batter near the knee roll after missing the inside edge. Ball tracking shows that the ball is hitting middle-stump. Bangladesh 219/7 in 68.4 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 02:46 PM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: GONE! Mehidy Hasan Miraz falls
Loose shot from Mehidy, he goes for a cut but it's just too close to the body. Mehidy needed some medication just before this over, wonder if that had something to do with this shot. Umesh Yadav strikes. Bangladesh 213/5 in 66.3 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 02:40 PM IST

Axar and Unadkat alternating at the start of the third session for India. Mominul got struck on the glove off a delivery from Unadkat but didn't need any real medical attention.
-
Dec 22, 2022 01:45 PM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: TEA, Bangladesh 184/5 in 57 overs
Jaydev Unadkat finishes that session with a jaffa. Length ball, 130kph, and he gets it to angle across Mehidy Hasan Miraz. It just about misses the edge before going to the keeper.

2nd Test Day 1 live score: OUT! Ashwin gets his second!
Litton chips it straight to midwicket. Soft, soft dismissal and Ashwin gets his second. This is basically how the day has gone so far, it would look like Bangladesh have something going and then they would lose a wicket. They are 172/5 in 48.5 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 01:08 PM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: SIX! Litton is in town!

Dec 22, 2022 12:58 PM IST

-
Dec 22, 2022 12:52 PM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: FOUR! Mominul has the tricks!
Slow bouncer from Unadkat, it looked like Mominul was taking evasive action. What he ended up doing is perfectly ramp it over the cordon for four. Complete control there, Mominul playing like someone who has been scoring centuries for fun of late instead of someone who has hardly managed to reach double figures in over a year.
-
Dec 22, 2022 12:45 PM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: OUT! That's it for Mushfiqur!
Nick and that's it! Unadkat gets his second, the partnership is broken. Rahim caught on the backfoot as the ball pitches around off, straightens up a little bit and squares him up. It takes the edge and goes the wicketkeeper. That stand ends on 48 off 77.
-
Dec 22, 2022 12:40 PM IST

Dec 22, 2022 11:44 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: GONE! Umesh strikes first ball!
Well talk about a wicket out of nothing. Umesh pitches it up, Shakib tries to go aerial but seems uncertain of that shot. His timing is all wrong and he lobs it nicely to Cheteshwar Pujara at mid-off. Terrible shot from the Bangladesh captain and his team have to start afresh in the second session.
-
Dec 22, 2022 11:43 AM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: 2nd session begins

IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Gavaskar not too happy about Kuldeep getting dropped
“Dropping a Man of the Match, that is unbelievable. That’s the only word I can use and it’s a gentle word. I would like to use quite stronger words, but it’s unbelievable that you left out a man of the match, who got eight out of the 20 wickets,” Gavaskar said on Sony.
-
Dec 22, 2022 11:03 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: LUNCH! Bangladesh 82/2 in 28 overs
That over from Axar was not the last of the session but the next from Ashwin sure was. An intriguing session, India put the Bangladesh openers through hell and back before they both fell. However, Mominul and Shakib have since looked far more comfortable. Their partnership is on 43 off 76 balls, Bangladesh are on 82/2 off 28 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:59 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: FOUR! Fantastic from Mominul
The second last ball of the over is overpitched by Axar, Mominul clips just past midiwicket and the fielder runs after it. The ball wins the race. Mominul moves to 19 off 37, Bangladesh are 75/2 after 27 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:57 AM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: Axar comes in
Wonder if India will be allowed to squeeze in another over here before lunch. Just about three minutes to go off before the gong. Shakib is on strike, he has been swinging and slashing wildly a lot but it looks like he will be a bit more circumspect now, no use trying to go for a big one and falling just before the end of a session.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:52 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Some luck for Mominul
Mominul tries to cut a length delivery from Ashwin, surprised by the bounce and the ball goes high after taking the upper side of the bat between slip and wicketkeeper. Bangladesh 69/2 in 24 overs

Dec 22, 2022 10:40 AM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: Shakib vs Ashwin
Seasoned all-rounders, one who has found more sucess with the bat, the other with the ball. Shakib tries to unsettle Ashwin by moving around off the first two balls. This will be an interesting contest.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:31 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: FOUR, double figures at last for Mominul!
Why is that a big deal? Well, this is the first time in nine innings that Mominul has not got out for a single digit score. His form has fallen off a cliff since November 2021, this is only the fourth time that he hasn't fallen for a single digit score in this period.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:26 AM IST

Dec 22, 2022 10:17 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: GONE! Now Ashwin strikes
Bangladesh have lost both their openers within the space of three balls! Big appeal from India, the umpire raises his finger and Shanto takes the review. Offers no shot to a length delivery, ball-tracking holds up the umpire's call. Shanto smashes his pads with his bat as he walks off. Bangladesh 39/2 in 15.2 overs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:14 AM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: OUT! Unadkat strikes!
Extra bounce, something that Unadkat has been hounding the Bangladesh batters with today. Zakir tries to cut the ball, it goes big on him and toom the gloves and goes to Rahul at fourth slip. Jaydev Unadkat, after taking 353 first class wickets, finally gets his first Test scalp
Zakir Hasan is gone for 15 off 34, Bangladesh 39/1 in 14.5 overs
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:07 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Big shout for LBW!
Strangely enough, this is the first time that India can seriously ponder taking a DRS. Length ball from Ashwin beats the inside edge and takes Shanto's pads. The umpire shakes his head, and India decide not take the review. Replays show that it may not have straightened enough. Bangladesh get to 38/0 at the end of that over.
-
Dec 22, 2022 10:01 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: FOUR! Lovely shot from Shanto

2nd Test Day 1 live score: Spin introduced!

-
Dec 22, 2022 09:41 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Jaydev Unadkat is back!
353 first class wickets across 96 matches including a whopping 20 five wicket hauls. The Saurashtra captain has been a stalwart in domestic cricket over the years and now he is back to bowling for India. Wonder if he can get his first Test wicket today.
-
Dec 22, 2022 09:34 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: Bangladesh 18/0 in 7 overs, pacers on top
Hardly any control for the batters thus far but they somehow hold on. They would be hoping that one of these two are taken off soon but then it's not like there will be a huge drop in quality from India once they do go off. For now, the conditions have to ease up for Bangladesh to have any respite.
-
Dec 22, 2022 09:29 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Zakir beaten by Umesh!
Umesh gets the ball to pitch around middle and leg, it moves away late and comprehensively beats Zakir's defence. This has been excellent stuff from Umesh and Siraj, Bangladesh pretty lucky to have not lost a wicket yet.

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: Bangladesh 8/0 after 3 overs
Siraj does continue so that knock was only a minor one. Shanto and Zakir have been steady thus far, aside from that first ball scare for the latter. Both are on four runs.
-
Dec 22, 2022 09:08 AM IST
2nd Test Day 1 live score: DROPPED! Siraj may have hurt himself here
How about that, Zakir Hussain flicking Umesh Yadav uppishly towards backward square leg. Siraj runs in from fine leg, puts in the dive but can't hold on to the ball. He then clutches his left shoulder, which had hit the ground and taken off a patch of gras. Siraj eventually goes off the field for some medical attention.
-
Dec 22, 2022 09:06 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Four runs in the first over
The first three balls are length balls on off, then Siraj sends in a length ball to leg stump and then goes full for the fifth ball. Shanto drives that one down the ground to send it to the boundary.

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: A record for Unadkat
India hage played 118 Tests since Jaydev Unadkat last played one, which is the longest gap for any player from the country.

Dec 22, 2022 08:47 AM IST
IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: KL Rahul's thoughts
“We'd have done the same. To be honest, on seeing the surface, not sure what to make of it. There is some grass that you can see, but it's generally good to bat here. There is generally some bounce here and some help for both pacers and spinners. We'd have wanted to bat first but we aren't sure what to expect. Just need to play good cricket. Need to bowl well in the first innings. It does seem damp and we need to get early wickets. We made one change - Kuldeep misses out and Unadkat comes in. Unfortunate decision for us to leave him (Kuldeep) out but it's an opportunity for Unadkat.”
-
Dec 22, 2022 08:45 AM IST
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: What Shakib Al Hasan said
We'll bat first. It will be challenging for the first two hours. If we can manage that, we can score well. Fast bowlers get some help here but it is generally good for batting. Two changes - Mominul is playing for Yasir, Taskin in for Ebadot.

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live: Kuldeep Yadav dropped!
Very interesting call here from India. Kuldeep Yadav, player of the match in the first Test, has been dropped for the extra pace option of Jaydev Unadkat. What a moment this is for Unadkat. His first and only Test match came all the way back in December 2010 against South Africa in Centurion. The Indian bowlers were taken to the cleaners in that game and Unadkat was no different. He bowled 26 overs, conceded 101 runs and took no wickets. Kuldeep Yadav had taken five wickets in the first innings and three in the second but trust India to make calls like dropping a player after a performance like that.

IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live score: Shakib fit to bowl
Shakib Al Hasan had not bowled in the second innings of the first Test due to the wear and tear he had picked up over the course of the ODI series before the Tests. But bowling coach Allan Donald says that the Bangladesh captain is now fine. "Shakib is okay, he will bowl. He was bruised and battered in the one-day game here, but he has gone through that. He is available for selection, and available to bowl. Any selectors here? (laughs) If I am talking out of the room a little bit, it will be the same three spinners and welcoming back Taskin and Khaled as well."

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score: Hello and welcome!
Bangladesh showed some spark but India were the dominant side in the first Test and they would be hoping that they can continue in the same vein. Bangladesh may not be among the foremost Test playing countries of the world but any win for India is a valuable one considering they stand a chance at qualifying for a second consecutive World Test Championship final. Batting coach Vikram Rathour had said yesterday that KL Rahul's hand injury is not that serious but we will only know for sure when he walks out, or doesn't walk out, for the toss, which, by the way, is schedule for 8.30am IST.
