India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 5 Highlights: India fought Bangladesh and time to wrestle a victory in the second Test by seven wickets. They have thus won the series 2-0 and all but sealed a spot in the World Test Championship final for the third consecutive time. The bowlers followed up on the utterly ridiculous work done by the Indian batters on Day 4 by dismissing Bangladesh for a score of 146 in their second innings in the first session. ...Read More
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill fell early but Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked primed to see India through to victory. Jaiswal smashed his second half-century of the match. With India needing just three runs to win, Jaiswal tried to finish off in style with a big six but ended up falling on 51 off 45 balls. Pant then hit the winning runs, with Kohli at the other end finishing unbeaten on 29 off 37 balls.
Jasprit Bumrah earlier ended the Bangladesh second innings by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim off the last ball of the first session, which had been extended by half an hour. It was Bumrah's quick double blow that had led to the extension. However, Mushfiqur Rahim ensured that India had to stay out throughout those extra minutes by expertly farming strike against Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. He ended up falling to a Bumrah special off the last ball of the session, though, with a sudden slow ball before Lunch cleaning him up.
Jadeja earlier took three wickets in his first three overs, thus ending any chances of resistance from Bangladesh after a steady stand between captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shadman Islam. The pair had managed to bat through much of the first half of the first session and it caused some worries among the Indian camp. However, Rohit Sharma brought Akash Deep and Jadeja for the first time after drinks and Bangladesh suddenly lost four quick wickets.
Despite losing two full days and over half of the Test match entering Day 4 in Kanpur, a monstrous all-round effort from India means that they entered the final day at Green Park Stadium with a chance to pull off a famous victory over Bangladesh. Bangladesh returned to bat at 26/2, trailing by 26 runs and India have been aggressive as they go for the win in order to all but nail down a spot in the World Test Championship final for the third consecutive time.
Day 4 was a fine display of cricket across the board from India. Three wickets in the morning session meant Bangladesh were six down entering the second session, and India exerted a death grip over the lower order as fiery and accurate bowling led to the final three wickets falling for just 9 runs. A pair of screamers in the field by Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Siraj meant Bangladesh weren’t given any sort of reprieve, bowled out for 233 soon after lunch.
In response, India came out all guns blazing. A first-ball six by Rohit Sharma set the tone, and he and Yashasvi Jaiswal put together 50 runs in just 3 overs — the fastest a team has reached the 50-run mark in a Test innings, ever. Rohit would fall but Gill and Jaiswal kept it going, extending that record to the fastest to reach 100 runs, in 10.1 overs. Jaiswal looked in typically dominant touch as he slashed and drove his way to 72(51), before falling to a low one.
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul answered their critics by keeping the momentum going, putting on a 87-run partnership in just 59 balls, even as it became tougher to score runs and Bangladesh went ultra-defensive. Rahul was very impressive as he showed a full range of shots enroute to 68(43).
Akash Deep would hit a couple of massive sixes, with the fifth-gear style of batting never slowing down for India. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan took 4 wickets each in India’s pursuit of runs, but every single Bangladesh bowler went at over a run-a-ball as India scored at a rate of 8.22 through the innings. They declared on 285-9 in hunt of a result, looking to capture wickets late on day four.
The plan worked to perfection, as Ravichandran Ashwin was introduced early and showed that he would be a handful to deal with. He caught Zakir Hasan LBW, before bowling night-watchman Hasan Mahmud after an ill-advised hoick. Stumps were called at 26-2, setting up a salivating final day of this Test match.
Here are some highlights from Day 5 of the 2nd India vs Bangladesh Test:
- India won the match by seven wickets and took a 2-0 win in the series
- Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his second fifty of the match, scoring 51 in 45 balls
- India need to chase down a target of 95 to win the second Test
- Bangladesh were all out for 146 in their second innings
- Mushfiqur Rahim resisted the Indians by scoring 37 off 63 balls
- Jasprit Bumrah took the last Bangladesh with the last ball of the first session
- Jadeja took wickets in each of his first three overs
- Shadman Islam fell on 50 to Akash Deep
- Ravindra Jadeja broke the stand between Shanto and Islam by dismissing the former in his very first over
- Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shadman Islam put up 55 runs for the fourth wicket
- Bangladesh resumed at 26/2, trailing India by 26 runs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: That's it from Kanpur!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Wow, this ground was sleeping for much of the first three days of this match. Then it saw some of the most high octane action one would ever get to see in Test cricket and that is solely driven by India's ruthless desire for a win and their absolute confidence in their abilities at home. They are already considered invincible at home but this win reinforces that tag and how. One can only dream of batting the way they did in video games and even thinking of doing something like that would've been considered mind-numbing stupidity not too long ago. They seem to have cracked the Test cricket code. It is not about the batters, but about how many overs you get to bowl at the opposition in both innings. New Zealand are up next for them before that blockbuster five-match tour of Australia. But before that, Suryakumar Yadav takes charge as India play Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series. Join us for that and stick around for more stuff from this match and series. Goodbye!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: It was about the overs we wanted to bowl and not our runs, says Rohit
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Winning captain Rohit Sharma said that the main intention behind India's explosive first innings was just the fact that they wanted to make sure they get as many overs to bowl at Bangladesh as possible. Attacking cricket at its finest. Here is what he said in his interview in the presentation ceremony:
“In life, we all keep moving on and at some stage, you work with different personnel. When Rahul bhai said he was done, it was a fantastic time we had together. Then life moves on and as a team we had to move on. With Gautam Gambhir...I've played with him and what sort of mindset he has. Early days still but very fruitful. To be honest we had to think a lot to keep the game moving forward. When we came on day four, we wanted to get them out as early as possible and see what we can do with the bat. It was not about the runs we get but the overs we wanted to bowl at them. The pitch didn't have much for bowlers but to get a game out of that pitch was a great effort from the bowlers. The batters were willing to take the risk and we were ready to give ourselves a chance at a result. Look, Akash has been good and he's played a lot domestic cricket. There's enough overs in the legs and the guy can do the job the team is expecting him to do. He can bowl long spells and we want to create a bunch of bowlers who are ready to play Test cricket at any given point. If someone is injured, you should be able to replace them.”
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Ravichandran Ashwin is the player of the series
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: A total of 114 runs in this series and 11 wickets. A century (113) that turned the first Test on its head followed by figures of 6/88 in the second Bangladesh innings. Then figures of 2/45 and 3/50 in the second Test.
"Honestly, I'm glad to turn up performances for the team. A massive win for us in the context of where the WTC points table stands. I mean, I think with regards to this game, when he bowled them out after lunch, Rohit gave that talk we wanted to go for it. He stepped out and hit the first ball for six and he set that tone. How Jassi bowled, how Siraj and Akash bowled, you don't have to say much about Jaddu. Proud to be part of this attack. We expect a team with such experience to make those adjustments. I don't use the carrom ball as much as I do in white-ball cricket and it's about building a spell and getting into the rhythm," he says
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 'Rohit bhai and Gauti sir told me to play the way I want to,' says Jaiswal
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal says that he had come with a fresh slate in his mind, that bumper England series completely forgotten. He says he was just doing what was important for the team. "Rohit bhai and Gauti sir told me to play the way I want to," he said about his approach in the first innings.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Yashasvi Jaiswal is the player of the match
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 72 off 51 in the first innings, 51 off 45 in the second. Yashasvi Jaiswal had a job to do in the first innings and he did that with aplomb. In the second, he just continued where he left off. As stated earlier, we are probably seeing the early days of an potential all-time great.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 'Akash Deep has a lot of heart,' says Bumrah
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jasprit Bumrah talks to the broadcasters. Murali Karthik calls him a magician and he, in typical Bumrah style, ducks that complement well enough. “I don't think about adjectives,” he says.
“It's just good to get the win after we lost two days. Really special win today. So, in this you use your experience. Yes, it's easier said and done. This was different to what it was in Chennai. We try to communicate and solve the problem in front of you. As I said, we've played a lot of cricket in India and understand the nature of the wicket. You find options and discuss with senior players. I'm also in a role now where I help other bowlers. He comes up to me quite a lot and asks me 'what you think I should do?' He's got a lot of heart and whenever he bowls, he gives his best. Yeah, after the World Cup, we got a break and were prepping for the Test series and you understand the number of overs you bowl. We have a long Test series [in Australia] and that's why he had that break.”
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: India beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets, win series 2-0
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Rishabh Pant hits the second ball of the 18th down the ground for a four and that is that. India stay on top of the WTC table and are almost through to the final. A straightforward run to victory in the end for India but that has come thanks to some utterly miraculous batting in their first innings. Make no mistake, this has to go down in history as one of India's greatest ever wins. They were against Bangladesh and time and they have ended beating both, winning this match more than a session and a half to spare despite two and a half days of this match being washed off.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Scores are level
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Just a run off the 17th over and then Kohli takes a single off the first ball of the 18th. That brings India's score to 94, the scores are tied. Pant on strike now.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: OUT! Jaiswal falls going for the big finish
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Well sports don't always have Bollywood-style finishes. India need three runs to win, Jaiswal goes for the big slog sweep but miscues it. The ball goes high, hiiiigh in the air and Shakib Al Hasan makes no mistake with the catch. Anti-climactic end to yet another Test match for Yashasvi Jaiswal in which he has been absolutely brilliant. Kohli can't help but laugh at that.
Jaiswal c Shakib Al Hasan b Taijul Islam 51 (45)
India 92/3, need 3 to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Fifty for Yashasvi Jaiswal
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: His second fifty of the game and he has got there with a calm single down the ground off the first ball of the 16th. India now need just six runs to win. Yashasvi Jaiswal is having the time of his life. We are seeing the start of the career of a player who is surely on his way to becoming an all-time great.
India 89/2
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal with a big six, India need 9 to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: And Jaiswal himself needs two to get to his half-century. Both him and Kohli went for their shots in this over from Taijul. Kohli drilled the first ball back to the bowler, Taijul got a hand to it but there is no way he is stopping that, it runs to the boundary behind him. Then Kohli launches the fourth over mid-on for a four. Tries a big heave next ball but it takes an inside edge and goes to deep square leg. Kohli takes a single and then Jaiswal smashes the last ball over long on for a six. He gets to 48 in 41, Kohli on 24 off 26.
India 86/2, need 9 runs to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal closing in on fifty
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: He is a run-machine in Test cricket. India are 25 runs away from victory and Jaiswal is on 42 off 37. Kohli at the other end on 15 off 21. Just a run off the 13th over. India are 24 runs away from victory now.
India 71/2 in 13 over
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Kohli overturns an LBW decision
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: The fifth ball of the 11th from Miraz shoots off the ground and stays low to hit Kohli on the pads. Looks plumb and the umpire raises his finger. Kohli, though, reviews it straightaway after taking a brief downward looking. There is no bat but the impact was outside off!
Kohli on 14 off 18, Jaiswal on 38 off 31.
India 66/2 in 11 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: India need 36 runs to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Kohli on strike on 12 off 12, Jaiswal on 33 off 25. Taijul Islam to bowl the 10th over. India can finish this off if Kohli hits six sixes in the over Yuvraj Singh style. Unlikely that would happen though. Jaiswal is one run away from reaching 1200 Test runs. He is averaging over 66 in his first 11 Tests and striking at close to 70. Bonkers.
India 59/2 in 9 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Kohli sweeps for a boundary this time
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Kohli is not the biggest sweeper of the ball but he nails this one. Last ball of the seventh from Miraz is on middle and leg, Kohli gets down and dirty and finds the gap. That brings up India's fifty. They need just 45 to win now.
India 50/2 in 7 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Kohli gets a boundary!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Shakib errs towards the leg side last ball of the sixth and Kohli punishes him. Flicks it for the most risk-free he must've hit this year. Kohli on six off five, Jaiswal on 21 off 14.
India 41/2, need 54 to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: OUT! Shubman Gill goes
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Gill done by the sharp turn into him, Miraz and Bangladesh appeal for LBW and the umpire obliges. Gill has a long chat with Jaiswal before taking the review. It turned in sharply from short of a length outside off and struck him in front of off. No bat and three reds. Gill walks off to the cheers that he must be used to by now as the next man is Virat Kohli.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal motoring along
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal went hard for a drive off the first ball of the fifth over from Miraz, edged but it goes over Shanto even before the Bangladesh captain could react. Just too fast for him there and it goes for a four. The next ball is then slog swept hard by Jaiswal for another boundary. He gets off strike next ball and has raced to 11 off nine.
India 34/1, need 61 to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: OUT! That's it for Rohit!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Wow, Rohit has absolutely nailed that sweep shot off Miraz and put it straight down the throat of the long leg fielder. So Rohit falls to Miraz in both innings of this match.
Rohit Sharma c Hasan Mahmud b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 8 (7)
India 18/1 in 2.1 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: India in a hurry, 10 runs in the 2nd over
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Jaiswal meets the second ball of the over with a glorious drive and that goes to the boundary. Couple of singles next two balls and then Jaiswal whips out the square drive for another four. Just beautiful batting from the youngster, he is on 10 off six.
India 18/0, need 77 to win
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 8 runs in the first over
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: No big fireworks from India and yet, they get eight runs off that first over. Rohit goes for a big swing leg side off the third ball after running two off the second, it took the toe end of the bat and he only got a single. Jaiswal takes a single next ball and then Rohit sweeps the fifth to the boundary for a four. Rohit on seven off five, Jaiswal on one off one. Shakib Al Hasan to bowl the next over.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: India's chase begins
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Right, Mehidy Hasan Miraz starts the Bangladesh attack. Rohit Sharma on strike with Yashasvi Jaiswal at the other end. Still over 60 overs left today and so chances of seeing the kind of fireworks that we did yesterday is low. India 95 runs away from victory.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: A recap of that session
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: That was almost two different sessions tucked into one. Especially, it seems, in the minds of the Bangladesh batters who came out after drinks looking as unfocused as someone who just had a half-an-hour break and a hearty meal.
Ashwin dismissed first innings centurion Mominul cheaply but captain Shanto and opener Shadman perfectly balanced attack and caution to put up a 50-plus stand. Then Rohit changed things up, brought in Ashwin and Akash Deep after drinks and Bangladesh fell like a pack of cards. Shanto decided its a sensible tactic to try a swanky reverse sweep on the very first ball he faced from Jadeja and perished. Shadman lost focus after scoring his half-century and fell to Deep. Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan followed quickly and Bangladesh went from being 91/3 to 94/7.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz put up a 24-run stand off 32 balls before the latter became Jasprit Bumrah's first wicket of the innings. Mushfiqur then squeezed out 28 runs batting with the last two batters before himself being castled by Bumrah off the last ball of the session.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: LUNCH! Bangladesh 146 all out, India's target is 95
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Well Mushfiqur did as well as he could but the Bangladesh batters would be disappointed with themselves. Almost all of them fell to loose shots. This is now India's match through and through. They have somehow forced a dead Test match back to life and are now going to wrestle a win out of it. Unbelievable stuff from the hosts.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: BOWLED HIM! Mushfiqur cleaned up by Bumrah
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Classic Bumrah, the last ball of the session is a slow one and that does it for Mushfiqur. The batter suddenly goes for a haymaker down the ground, probably intending to make the most of the last over of the session. He ends up being castled.
Mushfiqur Rahim b Bumrah 37 (63)
Bangladesh 146 all out
