But the inevitability of the result has somewhat marred the excitement.

11:49 hrs: Fight from Bangladesh: “Kohli was batting wonderfully but the catch helped us make a comeback and the whole team got inspired,” Al-Amin said after the day 2 proceedings. “Under lights we bowled well, while batting also we showed improvements.” In reply, Bangladesh were in tatters at 13/4 in their second essay but Mushfiqur Rahim showed some fight with a valiant 59 not out as they avoided the ignominy of losing inside two days.
11:30 hrs: India all the way: Led by Virat Kohli’s century and then Ishant Sharma’s fire, India were just too hot to handle for Bangladesh, who have somehow, managed to drag this match to the 3rd day. Will the visitors be able to make India bat again?
