18:03 hrs IST

Left-arm spin from both ends

Two men who could be fighting with each other for a World Cup spot are bowling from either end. It is Ravindra Jadeja’s left-arm orthodox from one end while Kuldeep Yadav is turning in his chinaman deliveries from the other end. Mithun and Mushfiqur are milking it currently.

17:56 hrs IST

Stat Attack

Shakib Al Hasan dismissed for 17 by Ravindra Jadeja

· 4th consecutive innings without fifty for Shakib.

· 1st time in 13 innings Shakib has been dismissed by a left-arm spinner.

- This is also the 1st ODI wicket for Jadeja since then.

17:52 hrs IST

Shakib commits hara-kiri

It is a suicidal shot that leads to the downfall of Shakib Al Hasan. He had just hit Ravindra Jadeja for two back to back boundaries. He attacked the spinner again and ended up giving an easy catch to Dhawan at backward square leg. Absolutely unnecessary shot from the experienced player. He departs for 17, Bangladesh are 44/3 after 10 overs

17:49 hrs IST

Jadeja oversteps and pays for it

17:47 hrs IST

More spin from India

Ravindra Jadeja gets a go from the other end. India have only two seam bowlers in the team today and that is where Bangladesh could benefit as their batsmen play spinners well.

17:43 hrs IST

Spin introduced

Yuzvendra Chahal has been brought into the attack and he almost picks up a wicket with his second delivery. Mushfiqur looks to sweep him and gets a top edge, but the ball drops in no man’s land.

17:40 hrs IST

Stat Attack

Liton Das dismissed for 7 by Bhuvneshwar Kumar

· 15th consecutive innings from debut without fifty plus score.

· 4th consecutive innings in single-digit score for him.

· 5th consecutive time Bhuvneshwar has dismissed batters with their score being under 25.

17:36 hrs IST

Experienced pair in the middle

Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim are the heartbeat of this Bangladesh team and these two batsmen will have to repair the early damage caused by the Indian pacers. Shakib is away with a boundary already while Mushfiqur has been cautious. Both men have the ability to play the long innings and will have to do that for their team.

17:28 hrs IST

Bumrah sends back Nazmul

It is an early walk back to the pavillion for Nazmul Hossain. Jasprit Bumrah bowled that with an angle outside the off stump and the left hander threw his bat at it it and got an edge, which was taken safely by Shikhar Dhawan in the slips. The ball went very fast to Dhawan who juggled it once before plucking it. Bangladesh in trouble.

17: 23 hrs IST

Bhuvneshwar strikes

It is that man again for India. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls a perfect bouncer to Liton Das who pulls without control and gets a top edge. It is a brilliant running catch in the deep by Kedar Jadhav. Bangladesh have lost an early wicket

17:18 hrs IST

Liton gets the first boundary away

Jasprit Bumrah is guilty of pitching it way too short and Liton Das has pulled that to teh square leg fence as Bangladesh are finally up and running. Bumrah needs to keep it tight from his end too as Bhuvneshwar is keeping his end of the bargain.

17:15 hrs IST

Bhuvi, Bumrah keeping it tight

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is not giving anything away to the Bangladeshi openers. His immaculate discipline in both line and length is making things difficult for the opposition. Bumrah too has looked sharp in the one over he has bowled so far.

17:05 hrs IST

Steady start

The first over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar yields four runs. Both Liton Das and Nazmul Hossain looked to defend against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, knowing the Indian medium pacer’s ability to cause damage early on.

17:03 hrs IST

Bhuvneshwar starts proceedings

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the money from the first ball. Bowls it outside the off stump and gets it to bounce awkwardly. Liton Das is lucky to get it away for a single.

16:52 hrs IST

Bhuvi-Bumrah show to begin

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have been phenomenal for India while opening the bowling in ODI cricket. Since Bumrah’s debut in Australia in January 2016, the two bowlers have played together in 27 matches. While Bumrah has picked up 43 wickets in these matches at an average of 25.09, Bhuvneshwar has picked up 31 wickets in these matches. Their economy rates of 4.82 (Bumrah)and 5.21 (Bhuvneshwar) in these matches are impeccable.

16:43 hrs IST

India wary of Bangladesh’s chasing ability

Rohit Sharma’s decision to opt to bowl first against Bangladesh is also a reflection of Bangladesh’s ability to chase down target. The likes of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah can be really dangerous in a chase and that is why India has decided to bowl first. The Indian batsmen have looked in good touch, while the bowlers roared back to form against Pakistan.

16:31 hrs IST

Toss update

India win the toss and will bowl first.

Hardik is out injured, Jadeja replaces him.

16:16 hrs IST

Pitch report

It is a fresh pitch. There is hardly any grass. It looks an even wicket. There are cracks but usually they don’t come into play. It is not a pitch where you can blast. You have to accumulate runs on this pitch. 250 will be a good score on this pitch, says Russell Arnold
