India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 4 Highlights: Bangladesh managed to get three early wickets to put India under intense pressure early on Day 4. While the first was that of nightwatchman Jaydev Unadkat, the next was the massive wicket of Rishabh Pant. Mehidy Hasan Miraz then finished his five-wicket haul by getting the wicket of Axar Patel. However, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer have since steadied the Indian chase and now seem on their way to taking India over the line. While Shreyas was scoring the runs initially, Ashwin took it on and ended up being unbeaten on 42 as India won by three wickets.

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: That ends this tour

    Bangladesh are no pushovers in any format, certainly not at home and, considering the number they did on New Zealand not too long ago, away from home either. They pretty much thrashed India in the ODIs before India won that last ODI in a comprehensive manner. Then they gave the visitors an almighty scare and more questions to answer despite their win in the second Test, despite defending a total as low as 145 in the second innings. An engrossing Test ends a thrilling tour and for India, it is now to the limited overs matches against Sri Lanka at home before they host Australia for the final stretch in their road to qualification for the WTC final.

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: KL Rahul's thoughts

    “You trust the guys in the middle (during such situations). We've played enough cricket to realise that someone will put their hand up to win us the game. But I'm not going to lie, there was a lot of tension in the dressing room. It was a tough wicket to bat on, they put us under pressure in both innings. It was a new-ball surface to some extent, once ball got softer, it was easier to score runs. It was a matter of who plays the new ball better. We did lose a few more wickets than ideal (in the chase) but we got the job done. Will take the win. That (bowling attack) has been the case for the last many years now. Wherever we've gone overseas in recent years, we have done the job.”

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: Cheteshwar Pujara is the player of the series

    Ashwin had done a number on everyone by starting his interview saying that Shreyas Iyer is the player of the series. “We didn't have much batting left. It was one of those games where we let the game drift whenever we could have shut it off. Shreyas batted beautifully. Sometimes these situations you feel like you have to get ahead of things, they bowled good lines and I felt that we didn't trust our defences enough. Loved the way Shreyas batted. Pitches are quite good here. But I thought the ball got soft really quickly. Credit to Bangladesh, they put us under real pressure at certain moments.”

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: Shakib Al Hasan talks

    “Everyone contributed. We always knew that we had chance in Mirpur. Very good Test cricket, that's what the crowds love to see. Both teams were really good. Credit goes to Shreyas and Ashwin, they absorbed the pressure well and built a partnership. We had 70-odd runs to play with, just needed one wicket. We can think of several Ifs and buts, but I'm proud of the way we fought. That (all-round skills) is my job, unfortunately couldn't bowl much last game. We had our moments this year but hopefully, next year will be much better for Bangladesh.”

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: Presentation ceremony

    Shreyas Iyer might just have edged Ravichandran Ashwin, although it is pretty difficult to choose between them. Iyer did have that 87 off 105 balls in the first innings but then Ashwin also took four wickets in the Bangladesh first innings and two in the second. Special mentions, certainly, for the brilliant Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan with the ball, Rishabh Pant and Litton Das.

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: India beat Bangladesh by three wickets

    Ashwin pulls the last ball of the over to the boundary and that is that! Ashwin finishes unbeaten on 42 off 62 balls, Shreyas on 29 off 46. The stand between them ends on 71 off 105 balls. What a match this has turned out to be, you have to feel for the Bangladesh players. From being 70/4 in the second innings, they managed to get to a lead of 145 and then made it very uncomfortable for India despite the low target.

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: FOUR! Ashwin taking India home

    Inside out over covers off the fifth ball of Miraz's over. India four runs away from victory. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:46 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: SIX! One-hander from Ashwin!

    India need 10 to win now. Length ball from Miraz, Ashwin smashes that over deep miwicket. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:42 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: India 125/7, need 20 to win

    There has been some rancour between Khaled and Ashwin. Ashwin pulls out while Khaled was approaching his jump and the latter decides to run all the way up the pitch to where Ashwin was standing. Ashwin apologises as Khaled stares him down. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:37 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: 50 partnership!

    Ashwin and Iyer have done exactly what India needed them to do. The Bangladesh fans have gone silent now, it will take an extraordinary collapse for them to win this now. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:29 AM IST

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: OUTSIDE EDGE AND FOUR!

    Ashwin hangs his bat out, it just beats gully and goes to the boundary! India now need 26 runs to win. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:27 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: FOUR! Ashwin replies fire with four

    Khaled had given Ashwin a stare after angling the first ball into his body. Ashwin proceeds to clip the third ball to the boundary after seeing it was full and veering to his pads. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:26 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: Pace introduced!

    Ashwin promptly goes for some extra covering. Khaled Ahmed is the man who has been brought on.

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: FOUR! Iyer motors on!

    Short from Miraz for the third ball of the 42nd, Shreyas slaps it though cover. India's deficit now comes down to 34 runs. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:19 AM IST

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: FOUR AGAIN! Great over for India!

    The last ball of the over is short from Shakib and Shreyas pulls it over deep midwicket! He moves to 22 off 38, India are 106/7, need 39 runs to win. Partnership between Ashwin and Shreyas is now on 33 which is easily India's best of the innings. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 10:18 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: FOUR! Fantastic shot from Iyer

    Shreyas Iyer goes inside out and sends the fourth ball of Shakib's over above cover for four.

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: FOUR! Iyer gets a valuable boundary

    Miraz overpitches it wide outside off, Shreyas takes the gift and sends it to the boundary with a square drive. India need 52 to win.

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: India 88/7, need 57 runs to win

    An extraordinary first hour comes to an end, it is time for a break, will that mean another wicket after this? That is generally how things have gone in this Test thus far and if it continues here, India will be in all sorts. For now Iyer and Ashwin have looked pretty solid. Taijul Islam replaced Shakib Al Hasan  and bowled a couple of overs. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:51 AM IST

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: DROPPED! Ashwin gets a life!

    Ashwin tucks it away and Mominul tries to make a grab at it at short leg. It went off the pad and Mominul could not hold on. He had taken a blinder to dismiss Virat Kohli yesterday, remember. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:45 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: India 78/7, need 67 to win

    Shreyas on four off 11, Ashwin on one off seven. This is it for them. If either of these two manage to score even 30 runs, India would be in business. For now, this is certainly Bangladesh's Test to lose. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:35 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: OUT! Now Axar falls!

    Mehidy Hasan Miraz has five! India are falling apart, Bangladesh are rampant. Miraz had given Bangladesh an epic win in the ODI series with the bat, now he is doing it with the ball. India 74/7, need 71 to win.

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:29 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: OUT! RISHABH PANT FALLS!

    Well, well, well, how massive is that! Mehidy pushes Pant to the backfoot but there is not much bounce. He is struck right in front of off, looks absolutely thunderstruck. He goes to have a chat with Axar but decides against the review. This is a big fish allright. Bangladesh are arguably one wicket away now to getting into the Indian tail. India 71/6, need 74 to win. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:26 AM IST

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: India 70/5, need 75 runs to win

    25 runs have been scored in the first three overs. Sure, there was a wicket lost but it was that of the nightwatchman after all. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:23 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: FOUR! Here is Pant!

    Pant reverse sweeps the first ball he faces from Shakib for four. India have certainly come out with a positive intent today. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:20 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: FOUR! Axar gets going for the day

    Mehidy goes short, Axar rocks back and smashes it through midwicket. It is a shot that he played a lot yesterday with great success and he continues wuth that. He moves to 31. What an innings he is playing here. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:13 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: OUT! Unadkat's stay ends

    No dramatic nightwatchman heroics. Shakib Al Hasan gets the big one again for his team. Unadkat struck on the back foot bang in front of the stumps. He goes for the review and will be saved only if there was any bat on it. There wasn't and for some reason, India have wasted a review on a nightwatchman. Anyhow, here comes their best Test batter on form for the past few years, Rishabh Pant. India 56/5, need 89 runs to win.

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:09 AM IST

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: SIX! Lift off for Unadkat!

    Unadkat had just survived the previous ball by a whisker. Umpire had given it not out, Bangladesh had gone for the review and the umpire's call was upheld but only just. And then, Unadkat smokes the next ball over midwicket for a maximum.

  • Dec 25, 2022 09:06 AM IST

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: The players are out!

    Right, here are Axar Patel and Jaydev Unadkat, who I am sure will be having to take as much of the strike as possible now. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has the ball in his hands. 

  • Dec 25, 2022 08:52 AM IST

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live Score: Kohli's rotten run

    He may have shaken off his poor form in limited overs this year but couldn't quite do the same in Tests. It has now been 10 innings since Kohli last scored a fifty in Tests, equals his worst such run in the format (ten innings in England in 2014 with a highest of 39).

    IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 Live: All's well between Siraj and Litton

    There have been a few sparks between the Indian fast bowler and the Bangladesh batter but Siraj said on Saturday that it is all limited to field. “There is nothing with Litton Das. It's a gentleman's game. Don't think so much. All a fast bowler needs is a bit of chit chat with the batsman so that his focus shifts and then he says some words. There is no such rivalry. It's just fun.”

    2nd Test Day 4 Live Score: India's WTC Final chances

    A loss here, however unlikely it still seems, can make India's route to qualification for the 2023 WTC Final quite tricky. They are competing with South Africa and Australia and if the Proteas somehow find a way to win their second Test against the Australians, India will be left with no choice but to win all the rest of the matches that they have left to play. The fact that all those games are at home will be of some relief, even though they are all against Australia.

    India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live score: Hello and welcome!

    Who would have thought the Test would be poised like this at the start of Day 4. It looked like this would be another straightforward win for India for much of it, until Bangladesh made a fightback under utterly unlikely circumstances on Saturday. First they got to a lead of 144 where it looked like even a lead of 50 would not be possible at one point. Then they blew away India's mighty top three and now the Test is poised on a knife's edge, despite the visitors needing just 100 runs to win.
