Commentary

KL Rahul collects the series-win trophy and the victorious Indian team poses for a team photo as well. That is it then from this game and from India's tour of Bangladesh as well. The hosts won the ODI series 2-1 and it is the visitors who have swept away the Test series 2-0 and kept their 2nd place in the World Test Championship Points table. Both teams are done for the year 2022 and India will now welcome Sri Lanka for a T20I and ODI series that will start on January 3, 2023. As for Bangladesh, they have a bit of a break before they return to international action. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance. Until next time, take care and goodbye!

The Indian captain, KL Rahul says that when you play so much cricket together it is about trusting the guys in the middle. Adds that there is always a belief that someone will put their hand up and get the job done for the team. Shares that it is human nature to be nervous in situations like these. Feels that Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer showed a lot of composure on a tough wicket and played it with ease to get India the victory. Shares that they knew it was going to be difficult and they would need to grind on this wicket and work hard for runs. Feels that new ball does a lot more and it is about who plays the new ball well. Also says that it is about cashing in ocne the ball gets old. Says that will learn from this experience and get better as individuals. Feels that the depth in the fast bowling department has been good over the last 6-7 years and it showed in this Test with Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat delivering for the side. Ends by saying that Ashwin and Axar Patel too chipped in to bundle Bangladesh out.

Cheteshwar Pujara is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES for his sensational batting in both innings of the first Test match. He says that it was a very competitive series. Shares that he had put in a lot of hard work by working on his game and playing first-class games. Adds that that is important to be in touch by playing first-class games. Feels that is important to win each and every Test considering the World Test Championship. Also says that is important to be on top of the game. Ends by saying that ups and downs are a part of a cricketer's journey and it is all about being mentally strong and bouncing back.

Ravichandran Ashwin is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant contribution with both bat and the ball. Ashwin says that the game was on the line and there wasn't much batting left so is happy to have done the job. Adds that Bangladesh played well and put them under pressure but applauds Shreyas Iyer for the way he played and they got over the line. Mentions that they would have liked to play more shots but the bowling was good and they needed to trust their defense a bit more as well. Adds that the pitch was good, it was a bit slow but the ball got softer after 30 or so overs and the same ball could have been played off the front foot as well as the back foot. Ends by saying that barring the first innings in Chattogram, Bangladesh played really well and it was a well-contested series.

Shakib Al Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh, says that everyone contributed in this game. Adds that at Mirpur they always have a chance. Feels that they put on a good show and it was what the crowd wanted with both sides playing very good Test cricket. Credits Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin with the way they batted and feels that they absorbed pressure well. Shares that it is his job to contribute with both bat and ball and it was unfortunate that he could not bowl in the first Test. Reckons that they needed one more wicket to get into the tail of India. Shares that he is happy with the way they fought. Ends by saying that they can only improve from hereon.

The presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat first on a track that had loads of grass on it but it wasn't live grass. The Bangladeshi batters all got off to starts in the first innings but no one apart from Mominul Haque could convert those starts. For India, Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin starred with the ball as both of them picked up four wickets each. The Indian top-order faltered and it was a big 150-plus stand between Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant that gave India a sizeable first-innings lead. Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam also got four wickets each. The hosts were in a lot of trouble in their second innings but a fighting half-century from Zakir Hasan and a couple of quickfire knocks from Litton Das and Nurul Hasan gave them a final lead of 144 runs. The target wasn't a big one but it was a tricky wicket and the hosts gave it their all but the experience of Ravichandran Ashwin shone through as he took India to victory.

'The one that got away' - this is what Bangladesh will feel about this game. They were under the caush throughout the first couple of days but came roaring back on Day 3 with some scintillating batting and then magical bowling as well. Their spinners had their tail up coming into Day 4 and neither Shakib Al Hasan nor Mehidy Hasan disappoint. Mehidy went on to pick up a famous five-for but once Iyer and Ashwin started to consolidate, the Bangladeshi spinners lost their line and lengths. With not many runs to play with, too many boundary balls were bowled and India didn't let them off the hook. In the end, Bangladesh had no answer to the depth in India's batting and their batters just didn't put up enough runs on the board for them to get the win.

It was a fairly even contest coming into Day 4 but Bangladesh did have the upper hand and they become the favorites to win the game when Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan picked up three quick wickets early in the day. India had their backs against the wall but have managed to turn misery into joy. Jaydev Unadkat was the first to fall on Day 4 and then Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant both fell in quick succession. With still 71 needed to win and the Bangladeshi spinners on top of proceedings, Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin stitched together an unbeaten partnership with the latter going on to end things with a flurry of boundaries toward the end. A remarkable win for the visitors and they will return home jubilant.

What a game! What a ripper of a contest we have witnessed in Mirpur! It is a Christmas Miracle as India have recovered from being 74 for 7 down to going on to win the game. Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin, take a bow. But spare a thought for Bangladesh and especially Mehidy Hasan who gave it his all and even picked up a five-wicket haul only to end up on the losing side. India seal the series 2-0 and keep their unbeaten record against Bangladesh is Test matches intact.

Commentary

We are back for the chase and there are still 23 overs remaining in the day! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Bangladesh. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are the openers for India. It will be the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan who will take the new ball. Let's play...

... FOURTH INNINGS ...

Right then, 145 needed for India to win the game and seal the series 2-0 and it should be a simple chase for them. The pitch has enough in it for the Bangladeshi bowlers to trouble the Indian top-order but one good stand and it can all be over. The hosts will look to take the game as deep as possible whilst India will be hoping that their top order doesn't falter. Join us fot the chase in a bit.

India were highly frustrated towards the end of the second session as Bangladesh found a way of scoring freely and that continued after the break. However, they knew that if they got one wicket, they could rip through the tail and that is exactly what happened. Axar Patel finished with 3 as Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj both got a couple of wickets each. They bundled out Bangladesh for 231 runs and now need a modest total to whitewash the hosts.

An unfortunate end to the innings for Bangladesh but they have something on the board to defend. After the Tea break, the hosts lost their remaining 3 wickets for 36 runs and have set India 145 runs to win. Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed came out with positive intent in the final session and were able to find the fence. They ran well too but Mohammed Siraj dismissed Litton Das with a gem of a delivery and that opened the floodgates for India. In general, the likes of Zakir Hasan and Litton Das were the only ones to play a good knock and cameos from Nurul Hasan and Taskin Ahmed took the lead close to 150 runs but it still seems a bit low.

70.2W

OUT! RUN OUT! This was a blunder from the Bangladesh batters and they are bowled out for 231. Bowls it on off, Khaled Ahmed pushes it to short mid-wicket and sets off for a single. Shubman Gill grabs it quickly and throws it a bit high towards Axar Patel at the non striker's end. He is quick enough to whip the bails off. The replay shows that Khaled Ahmed was just behind the line and Bangladesh are bundled out for 231 runs. Bangladesh end with a lead of 144 runs.

Is that a run-out? Looked like a straightforward opportunity but the throw from Shubman Gill wasn't the best. Khaled Ahmed nudges it in front of short leg and Taskin Ahmed calls him for the single. Khaled seems to be struggling at the bowler's end as Axar Patel dislodges the bails and after checking the replays it is found that Khaled is just short. OUT is the decision on the big screen.

70.10

Fuller and on off, Khaled Ahmed lunges and blocks it away.

OUT! LBW! This one is a touch fuller and angling in from middle and leg, Taijul Islam looks to block it but misses and gets a rap on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up. Taijul Islam decides to go upstairs immediately. Fair delivery and Ultra Edge shows no spike. Ball Tracking shows three reds as the ball is just clipping leg stump and Bangladesh go nine down in a jiffy!

Ravichandran Ashwin (20-2-60-1) is back on.

Commentary

We are back for Bangladesh's second innings and there are 9 overs remaining in the day, light permitting that is. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan are the openers for Bangladesh. It will be Umesh Yadav who will get proceedings underway with the ball here.

... THIRD INNINGS ...

India will be disappointed with their performance as they couldn't reach the 400-run mark which looked possible at the end of the second session. The Pant-Iyer partnership was the key one for India but unfortunately, neither batter could not score a century. Pant scored 93 whilst Iyer scored 87. Nonetheless, they have a lead of 87 runs and will hope to bundle their opponents to a low total. Can India take some quick wickets now? Or will Bangladesh walk out of Day 2 at no loss? We shall find out shortly...

A good comeback after the damage done in the second session and Shakib Al Hasan will be happy with the team's performance. They got Rishabh Pant early on at the start of the final session and Shreyas Iyer soon followed the suit. Once the set batters lost their way, the wickets kept on tumbling for India. Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers in the final session as he bagged 4 wickets. The onus is now on their batters to put up a solid opening stand and stay wicketless at the end of Day 2.

86.3W

OUT! STUMPED! That's it Shakib Al Hasan picks up his fourth wicket and India are bowled out late on Day 2. Mohammed Siraj pre-meditates and shimmies down the track. Shakib holds it back and pushes it wider of the off pole. Siraj throws the kitchen sink at it but gets beaten in the flight and the ball keeps a bit low as well. Nurul Hasan whips off the bails and Siraj seems very disappointed. India finish with 314 runs on the board and lead by 87 runs.

86.24

FOUR! Tossed up on a length and around off, Siraj plays the sweep against the turn and hits it uppishly to the left of the man at square leg for a boundary.

86.10

Floats this one up, full and on leg stump, Mohammed Siraj keeps it out off the front foot.

Commentary

KL Rahul collects the series-win trophy and the victorious Indian team poses for a team photo as well. That is it then from this game and from India's tour of Bangladesh as well. The hosts won the ODI series 2-1 and it is the visitors who have swept away the Test series 2-0 and kept their 2nd place in the World Test Championship Points table. Both teams are done for the year 2022 and India will now welcome Sri Lanka for a T20I and ODI series that will start on January 3, 2023. As for Bangladesh, they have a bit of a break before they return to international action. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance. Until next time, take care and goodbye!

The Indian captain, KL Rahul says that when you play so much cricket together it is about trusting the guys in the middle. Adds that there is always a belief that someone will put their hand up and get the job done for the team. Shares that it is human nature to be nervous in situations like these. Feels that Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer showed a lot of composure on a tough wicket and played it with ease to get India the victory. Shares that they knew it was going to be difficult and they would need to grind on this wicket and work hard for runs. Feels that new ball does a lot more and it is about who plays the new ball well. Also says that it is about cashing in ocne the ball gets old. Says that will learn from this experience and get better as individuals. Feels that the depth in the fast bowling department has been good over the last 6-7 years and it showed in this Test with Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat delivering for the side. Ends by saying that Ashwin and Axar Patel too chipped in to bundle Bangladesh out.

Cheteshwar Pujara is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES for his sensational batting in both innings of the first Test match. He says that it was a very competitive series. Shares that he had put in a lot of hard work by working on his game and playing first-class games. Adds that that is important to be in touch by playing first-class games. Feels that is important to win each and every Test considering the World Test Championship. Also says that is important to be on top of the game. Ends by saying that ups and downs are a part of a cricketer's journey and it is all about being mentally strong and bouncing back.

Ravichandran Ashwin is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant contribution with both bat and the ball. Ashwin says that the game was on the line and there wasn't much batting left so is happy to have done the job. Adds that Bangladesh played well and put them under pressure but applauds Shreyas Iyer for the way he played and they got over the line. Mentions that they would have liked to play more shots but the bowling was good and they needed to trust their defense a bit more as well. Adds that the pitch was good, it was a bit slow but the ball got softer after 30 or so overs and the same ball could have been played off the front foot as well as the back foot. Ends by saying that barring the first innings in Chattogram, Bangladesh played really well and it was a well-contested series.

Shakib Al Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh, says that everyone contributed in this game. Adds that at Mirpur they always have a chance. Feels that they put on a good show and it was what the crowd wanted with both sides playing very good Test cricket. Credits Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin with the way they batted and feels that they absorbed pressure well. Shares that it is his job to contribute with both bat and ball and it was unfortunate that he could not bowl in the first Test. Reckons that they needed one more wicket to get into the tail of India. Shares that he is happy with the way they fought. Ends by saying that they can only improve from hereon.

The presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat first on a track that had loads of grass on it but it wasn't live grass. The Bangladeshi batters all got off to starts in the first innings but no one apart from Mominul Haque could convert those starts. For India, Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin starred with the ball as both of them picked up four wickets each. The Indian top-order faltered and it was a big 150-plus stand between Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant that gave India a sizeable first-innings lead. Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam also got four wickets each. The hosts were in a lot of trouble in their second innings but a fighting half-century from Zakir Hasan and a couple of quickfire knocks from Litton Das and Nurul Hasan gave them a final lead of 144 runs. The target wasn't a big one but it was a tricky wicket and the hosts gave it their all but the experience of Ravichandran Ashwin shone through as he took India to victory.

'The one that got away' - this is what Bangladesh will feel about this game. They were under the caush throughout the first couple of days but came roaring back on Day 3 with some scintillating batting and then magical bowling as well. Their spinners had their tail up coming into Day 4 and neither Shakib Al Hasan nor Mehidy Hasan disappoint. Mehidy went on to pick up a famous five-for but once Iyer and Ashwin started to consolidate, the Bangladeshi spinners lost their line and lengths. With not many runs to play with, too many boundary balls were bowled and India didn't let them off the hook. In the end, Bangladesh had no answer to the depth in India's batting and their batters just didn't put up enough runs on the board for them to get the win.

It was a fairly even contest coming into Day 4 but Bangladesh did have the upper hand and they become the favorites to win the game when Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan picked up three quick wickets early in the day. India had their backs against the wall but have managed to turn misery into joy. Jaydev Unadkat was the first to fall on Day 4 and then Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant both fell in quick succession. With still 71 needed to win and the Bangladeshi spinners on top of proceedings, Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin stitched together an unbeaten partnership with the latter going on to end things with a flurry of boundaries toward the end. A remarkable win for the visitors and they will return home jubilant.

What a game! What a ripper of a contest we have witnessed in Mirpur! It is a Christmas Miracle as India have recovered from being 74 for 7 down to going on to win the game. Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin, take a bow. But spare a thought for Bangladesh and especially Mehidy Hasan who gave it his all and even picked up a five-wicket haul only to end up on the losing side. India seal the series 2-0 and keep their unbeaten record against Bangladesh is Test matches intact.

We are all set for the play to commence on Day 4! The umpires walk out to the middle as the Bangladeshi players can be seen raring to go around the boundary ropes. The overnight batters for India, Jaydev Unadkat and Axar Patel stride out to the middle as well and it will be the former who will face the first delivery of the day. Mehidy Hasan, the star with the ball on Day 3 will start proceedings on Day 4. Let's play...

India's top-order woes continued in the big games as all went out for cheap scores and neither of them for once looked settled on the crease. Axar Patel has been their best batter so far but with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin still to come, India will feel that if they capitalise on the bad deliveries then 100 runs can be wiped out in no time. Will they be able to do it though on a pitch that now has more than a few demons in it? We shall find out soon as the first session is coming up soon.

We had pretty exciting cricket on Days 1 and 2 of the game but the best action was reserved for Day 3 as both teams kept on fighting tooth and nail, leaving the game hanging on a knife edge. Bangladesh do have a slight advantage as they have sent the Indian top 4 packing and will know that a couple of early wickets here and the game can be won.

Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to Day 4 of the 2nd and final Test match between Bangladesh and India at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. What a fascinating contest we have on our hands as the hosts need 6 wickets to win and the visitors need 100 runs. Which team will reign supreme here?

... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, we have had 3 exciting days of Test cricket and after those three days, we can't pick a winner. It looked to be India's game all the way but the hosts have come roaring back and have a real chance of leveling the series here. 100 runs are needed for India to win with 6 wickets in hand and a couple of in-form batters yet to come. Bangladesh will pray that their spin trio comes good and does the job for them. Whatever the result may be, we will surely get a lot of entertainment. Day 4 will begin on Sunday at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT) but you can join us for the early build-up as usual. Cheers!

The man of the moment, Mehidy Hasan is in for a quick chat. He says that he is happy with his spell. Adds that the wicket is turning well and it is all about hitting the right lengths. Says that they will try to get early wickets tomorrow and Virat Kohli's wicket was an important one. Ends by saying that they need to improve their bowling and do well.

India had the game in the palm of their hands until the second session on Day 3 began but since then, they seemed to have let go of their advantage. They did manage to clean up Bangladesh but did concede at least 50 runs more than they should have as they had the hosts on the ropes at one point. This could prove to be costly as their top order has failed miserably yet again. The skipper, KL Rahul was the first to go and then both Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill tried to use their feet to counter the spin but were stumped. Virat Kohli occupied the crease without showing much intent and was ultimately dismissed. The only positive with the bat has been Axar Patel who has mustered up important runs for his side. The good thing for India is that the in-form batter, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are yet to come but it will be an uphill task when they come out to bat on Day 4.

Bangladesh got bundled out after a few spirited performances with the bat for 231 runs and had 144 runs to play with. They needed wickets in the final session to have a shot at glory and boy, they have dominated with the ball here. Right from the very first ball that Shakib Al Hasan bowled, Bangladesh knew they will get opportunities. Shakib did get a wicket early in the innings and that set the tone. Shakib and Taijul Islam continued to create chances but it was Mehidy Hasan who proved to be the difference-maker as he picked up three wickets for just 12 runs, sending back 3 big guns for India in the process. The hosts have all the momentum going into the fourth day and will look to make early inroads in order to put the opposition under even more pressure.

Wow, what a day of Test cricket have just witnessed! Well, they don't call Day 3 the moving day for nothing. A total of 14 wickets fell throughout the course of the day and in the end, the pendulum did swing in favour of the hosts who will now believe that they can pull off the upset. India still need 100 more runs to win but have lost their top four batters which might play a huge role in the outcome.

Commentary

We are back for the chase and there are still 23 overs remaining in the day! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Bangladesh. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are the openers for India. It will be the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan who will take the new ball. Let's play...

... FOURTH INNINGS ...

Right then, 145 needed for India to win the game and seal the series 2-0 and it should be a simple chase for them. The pitch has enough in it for the Bangladeshi bowlers to trouble the Indian top-order but one good stand and it can all be over. The hosts will look to take the game as deep as possible whilst India will be hoping that their top order doesn't falter. Join us fot the chase in a bit.

India were highly frustrated towards the end of the second session as Bangladesh found a way of scoring freely and that continued after the break. However, they knew that if they got one wicket, they could rip through the tail and that is exactly what happened. Axar Patel finished with 3 as Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj both got a couple of wickets each. They bundled out Bangladesh for 231 runs and now need a modest total to whitewash the hosts.

An unfortunate end to the innings for Bangladesh but they have something on the board to defend. After the Tea break, the hosts lost their remaining 3 wickets for 36 runs and have set India 145 runs to win. Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed came out with positive intent in the final session and were able to find the fence. They ran well too but Mohammed Siraj dismissed Litton Das with a gem of a delivery and that opened the floodgates for India. In general, the likes of Zakir Hasan and Litton Das were the only ones to play a good knock and cameos from Nurul Hasan and Taskin Ahmed took the lead close to 150 runs but it still seems a bit low.

70.2W

OUT! RUN OUT! This was a blunder from the Bangladesh batters and they are bowled out for 231. Bowls it on off, Khaled Ahmed pushes it to short mid-wicket and sets off for a single. Shubman Gill grabs it quickly and throws it a bit high towards Axar Patel at the non striker's end. He is quick enough to whip the bails off. The replay shows that Khaled Ahmed was just behind the line and Bangladesh are bundled out for 231 runs. Bangladesh end with a lead of 144 runs.

Is that a run-out? Looked like a straightforward opportunity but the throw from Shubman Gill wasn't the best. Khaled Ahmed nudges it in front of short leg and Taskin Ahmed calls him for the single. Khaled seems to be struggling at the bowler's end as Axar Patel dislodges the bails and after checking the replays it is found that Khaled is just short. OUT is the decision on the big screen.

70.10

Fuller and on off, Khaled Ahmed lunges and blocks it away.

64.50

Litton Das knew straightaway that it was pitching outside leg. A length ball around leg and angling across. Taskin Ahmed looks to flick but falls over a bit and gets pinged in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for lbw from Mohammed Siraj, pleading for it and the finger does go up. Taskin Ahmed has immediately reviewed it and if the ball is pitching outside leg, he might be saved. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking does show that it is pitching well outside the line of leg stump and the decision is reversed.

64.41

Goes a bit wider of the crease and angles it in on a hard length. Litton Das stays back and dabs it past point for a single.

64.30

Fuller, at 141 clicks and angled into middle. Litton Das looks to loft it over mid on but mistimes it badly.

61.54

FOUR! Poor delivery from Axar Patel, a fraction shorter and outside off, Litton Das cuts it past the fielder at backward point and picks up another boundary.

61.40

Nagging length outside off and turning away. Litton Das gets caught on the crease and tentatively looks to cut but is beaten past the outside edge.

60.31

Litton Das looks to charge down the track but Siraj pulls the length back a bit. Das ends up slicing it safely over covers for a single. The 200 is now up for Bangladesh.

60.24

FOUR! Litton Das isn't going to back down here. Pitched up outside off, Das lofts it up and over the point region for a boundary.

60.10

Starts off with a good-length delivery around off. This one jags back in a long way and Litton Das gets squared up while looking to flick. The ball hits him high on the pads and there's half an appeal for lbw but it is turned down.

We are back for the final session of Day 3. The Indian players are seen out in a huddle near the ropes. Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed will resume their innings. Mohammed Siraj comes to bowl. Here we goo.

... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...

Right then, just the last three wickets to go and India will be hoping to get those in the next session and bundle their opponents. Bangladesh will hope to bat the entire session and take the play to the next day. Will the Indians continue to dominate with the ball? Or will Bangladesh put up a gritty stand and keep on batting till the session ends? We will find out shortly. Do join us at 2.00 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) post tea break.

Bangladesh has struggled and they have struggled a lot with the bat throughout the game. They will need something special to claw their way up in the game. They were saved a couple of times and still are seven down. Litton Das has reached his half-century and he will be the one who will need to keep the scoreboard ticking for his team. Nonetheless, he would need good support from the tailenders and try not to lose any further wickets. They have a lead of 108 runs now and will hope to add more to it as any lead of around 200 could be very handy on this pitch.

A good display of bowling once again from the Indians as they took 3 wickets in this session. Umesh Yadav started off by getting the dangerous Zakir Hasan and Mehidy Hasan soon followed the suit. Axar then got rid of Nurul Hasan then. He was the pick of the bowlers in this session as he took 2 wickets and almost got rid of the dangerous Litton Das who was saved by the review. There was a phase in the middle when Nurul Hasan and Litton Das ran a havoc over the India bowlers and stitched a quickfire 46-run partnership in 48 deliveries but it slowed down a bit once Nurul Hasan was dismissed.

Good running. Slower and shorter around off, Taskin Ahmed nudges it toward backward point and scampers through for one.

58.22

A tad shorter and down leg, this is pulled away toward fine leg for a couple of runs.

58.11

DROPPED! That will be FIFTY for Litton Das and this has been a very important knock for his side. Ravichandran Ashwin bowls a lovely delivery, drifting into off and turning away sharply off the deck. Das gets squared up and the outside edge is found. Virat Kohli at first slip springs to his right but fails to grab it with his right hand. The ball goes towards third man and a single is taken.

What a review! Litton Das survives and there's a huge cheer from the crowd. Axar Patel fires this one in on the pads. Das looks to work it leg side but the ball skids on and thuds into the pads. There is a huge appeal and Litton Das has been adjudged lbw. Das does review it but this could be a huge moment in the game. Nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking shows that the ball is going on with the arm and missing leg stump.

Is that a fair catch? Virat Kohli isn't sure but seems to have got his man. The umpires come together and go upstairs. The soft signal is Not Out. This is tossed up around off stump and there's some sharp turn on offer as well. Nurul Hasan looks to press forward but gets an outside edge toward first slip.

45.3W

OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan departs and Bangladesh are now six down with a narrow lead of 26 runs. Axar Patel angles it in on a length and from a bit wider of the crease as well.

We are ready for the start of the post-lunch session! The umpires and the Indian players are back out in the middle. The pair of Zakir Hasan and Litton Das stride out to the middle as well. It will be Axar Patel to continue after the break.

... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

Right then, the pitch has started to show its true colours and the spinners are enjoying their day out which means that India's lead of 16 more runs will prove to be crucial. Bangladesh have just 6 more wickets to play with and need an inspiring performance from someone here because the Indian bowlers will come at them hard. Will India tighten their grip on this match and wrap it up on Day 3? Or will the hosts pull off something spectacular? Join us for the post-Lunch session at 11.40 am IST (6.10 am GMT) for all the action.

India will be very content with that bowling display but will feel that they could have got a couple of more wickets. The surface has a lot in it for the spinners and it is all about being patient. Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat all picked up a wicket each as they kept the hosts on their toes. This seemed to be enough going into the break but Axar Patel was introduced late in the session and he bowled a spell to Mushfiqur Rahim before eventually dismissing him. With just 6 more wickets to get and still leading by 16 runs, India will want to bundle out the opposition in the next session itself.

Bangladesh had a poor start to Day 3 as just in the second over of the day Najmul Hossain Shanto was dismissed and a few overs later, the star of the first innings, Mominul Haque also got out. Zakir Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan did look like stitching together a gritty stand but the skipper got out cheaply just like he did in the first innings. This had left the hosts reeling but with Zakir still out there alongside their most prolific Test batter Mushfiqur Rahim the hosts looked to steady the ship but it wasn't meant to be as Mushfiqur also got out late in the session, leaving the hosts in a spot of real bother.

A session that was filled with events and at the end of it, India will be the happier of the two sides as they have the hosts on the ropes at the moment. Bangladesh would want to better their batting effort in the next session and bat throughout but it won't be easy given what we have seen so far.

We are all set for the first session to begin. The players have made their way out in the middle along with the umpires. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan will resume their innings. Mohammed Siraj comes to bowl. Here we go...

Rishabh Pant is in for a quick chat. He says that it was just a matter of time before he could capitalize and they both (Pant and Iyer) got their team out of trouble. Adds that unfortunately, he could not get to his century. Ends by saying that the pitch is a bit slower and they could have batted a bit better but they are in a good position having the lead.

Bangladesh were good with the ball as Taijul Islam and their skipper Shakib Al Hasan picked up 4 wickets each. Mehidy Hasan took one and Taskin Ahmed got rid of the dangerous Virat Kohli. Their openers then started off slow and defended the 6 overs they had to play towards the end of Day 2. They still trail by 80 runs but if they have a good opening stand, things can get even for them. Can they do it? Or will India bag some early wickets and put the hosts under pressure? We shall find out together.

India only needed more than 227 runs to surpass Bangladesh and put pressure on them, but the visitors had a shaky start and lost both of the openers in the first hour. They went down to three wickets in the first session and lost Virat Kohli at the very start of the second session. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer put up a gritty stand after that and scored 93 and 87 respectively. Once the two of them got out, India kept on losing wickets in a jiffy. They were finally bundled out for 314 having a lead of 87 runs. And, having bowled six overs late on Day 2 they haven't have made much impact with the new ball yet.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 3 of the 2nd Test match between Bangladesh and India from Mirpur. The first day saw the visitors in the driver's seat as they bowled out the hosts at 227. The hosts clawed their way back on the second day and bundled out the visitors for 314, conceding a lead of under 100 runs. Both days saw a fall of ten wickets and it will be interesting to see which side will dominate the moving day.

... DAY 3, SESSION 1...

Right then, just like Day 1, 10 wickets fell on Day 2 as well and the contest is heating up nicely. With the pitch getting even more useful for the slower bowlers, India will hope that they are able to use a decent enough first-innings lead to their advantage. Bangladesh would want to occupy the crease for as long as possible as any sort of total they set could be difficult to chase down on Days 4 and 5 on this pitch. Day 3 is known as the moving day and it seems that we will get to see one team clearly taking the lead on this day. Action will begin on Saturday at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT) but you can join us for the build-up a lot earlier. Cheers!

Shreyas Iyer is in for a quick chat. He says that they didn't have a good start and he likes to have challenges. Adds that he has been in such situations before and the pitch has everything for the spinners as the ball turns and bounces. Ends by saying that they need to execute their plans and come back stronger on Day 3..

India ended day 1 on a high and even though they don't finish Day 2 in the same manner, they will still feel that they are in control of this match. They lead by 80 runs but would have liked to pick up a wicket or two before the day ended. The top order seemed fragile and even though Virat Kohli stayed on the crease for long, he couldn't manage to convert his start. Then came the big 159-run stand between Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer that put the visitors in the driving seat but a plethora of wickets fell in the final session and India failed to stretch their lead beyond 100 runs. With just 6 overs bowled by their bowlers late in the day, not many chances were created and they will now look to make early inroads on Day 3.

Bangladesh were on the ropes when India went into the Tea break with the score being 226/4 but skipper Shakib Al Hasan took matters into his own hands and about after a bit of a tussle, the breakthrough came. Pant was dismissed in the nervous 90s and that opened the floodgates for the hosts. Shakib and co were able to pounce on the opportunity and managed to bowl India out half an hour or so before the day ended. With an initial deficit of 87 runs, the Bangladeshi openers have done well to just negotiate the new ball and end the day unscathed.

Yet another eventful day of Test cricket comes to an end and heading into Day 3, it is India who have the edge over the hosts but all is not lost for Bangladesh here. They trail by runs 80 but have all 10 wickets in the bag and will be aware of the fact that one good stand at the top and the difference could be wiped out in no time.

Commentary

We are back for Bangladesh's second innings and there are 9 overs remaining in the day, light permitting that is. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan are the openers for Bangladesh. It will be Umesh Yadav who will get proceedings underway with the ball here.

... THIRD INNINGS ...

India will be disappointed with their performance as they couldn't reach the 400-run mark which looked possible at the end of the second session. The Pant-Iyer partnership was the key one for India but unfortunately, neither batter could not score a century. Pant scored 93 whilst Iyer scored 87. Nonetheless, they have a lead of 87 runs and will hope to bundle their opponents to a low total. Can India take some quick wickets now? Or will Bangladesh walk out of Day 2 at no loss? We shall find out shortly...

A good comeback after the damage done in the second session and Shakib Al Hasan will be happy with the team's performance. They got Rishabh Pant early on at the start of the final session and Shreyas Iyer soon followed the suit. Once the set batters lost their way, the wickets kept on tumbling for India. Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers in the final session as he bagged 4 wickets. The onus is now on their batters to put up a solid opening stand and stay wicketless at the end of Day 2.

86.3W

OUT! STUMPED! That's it Shakib Al Hasan picks up his fourth wicket and India are bowled out late on Day 2. Mohammed Siraj pre-meditates and shimmies down the track. Shakib holds it back and pushes it wider of the off pole. Siraj throws the kitchen sink at it but gets beaten in the flight and the ball keeps a bit low as well. Nurul Hasan whips off the bails and Siraj seems very disappointed. India finish with 314 runs on the board and lead by 87 runs.

86.24

FOUR! Tossed up on a length and around off, Siraj plays the sweep against the turn and hits it uppishly to the left of the man at square leg for a boundary.

OUT! CAUGHT! Umesh Yadav's quickfire inning comes to an end and India now lead by 78 runs. Taijul Islam tosses this one up on a length and outside the off stump. The ball is turning away and Yadav looks for the big heave across the line. The ball takes the toe end of the bat and goes toward the first slip where Litton Das takes a comfortable catch around his face. Taijul is now one wicket away from a five-fer.

83.20

Flighted delivery, on off stump and blocked off the front foot by Yadav.

Tossed up around off, Umesh Yadav blocks it out.

Umesh Yadav walks in.

80.1W

OUT! LBW! The skipper has done the job for his team and India lose their eighth. This is flatter and angled into middle and leg. Ashwin looks to come forward and block but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a loud appeal and Shakib Al Hasan strikes straightaway with the new ball as Ravichandran Ashwin has been deemed lbw. Ashwin does review it though. UltraEdge is checked first and there's no spike on it. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping leg stump and Ashwin has to walk back. That wicket was also Shakib's 650th wicket in all of international cricket!

The second new ball is now available. Will Shakib Al Hasan take it right away? Yes, he does and will take it himself.

FOUR! Fuller and on off, Ravichandran Ashwin moves forward and lofts it over mid on for a boundary! He brings up 3000 runs in Test cricket and becomes the second-fastest player to 400 wickets and 3000 runs behind Sir Richard Hadlee.

76.40

Nicely tossed up by Shakib Al Hasan as he sees Ravichandran Ashwin coming down the track and this one is angled into middle stump. Ashwin looks to block but fails to get his front leg out of the way and there is a huge shout by the Bangladeshi players for lbw. It is turned down and Shakib reviews it immediately. Nothing on UltraEdge and everything seems fine on Ball Tracking as well but the impact is more than 3 meters in front of the stumps and hence it cannot be given out. Ashwin survives!

76.30

Short and wide, Ashwin cuts it away to the diving point fielder.

76.20

Quicker one on leg, Ashwin looks to play at it but gets his pads as the ball lobs to the man at short leg who drops it.

Bowls it outside leg, Unadkat leaves it alone.

Drinks! With Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant going great guns, Bangladesh seemed likely to concede a big first-innings lead. This might not be the case as the Bangladeshi spinners have turned the game on its head. Shakib Al Hasan has made smart bowling changes and both set batters are now back in the hut. India already have a 46-run lead and would want to stretch it beyond the 100-run mark. A fascinating and important final phase of play on Day 2 awaits.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rishabh Pant departs in the nervous 90s for the sixth time in his Test career and the crowd is absolutely elated. Mehidy Hasan goes a bit wider of the crease and floats it up on a nagging length around the off pole. The ball does turn away a bit but Pant goes on the back foot instead of coming forward and looks to have a dab at it. The ball deflects off the outside edge and goes into Nurul Hasan's gloves. Pant departs after yet another game-changing knock and India now lead by 26 runs.

Close but not close enough for Bangladesh! This is flatter around off, keeping a tad low. Shreyas Iyer punches it off the back foot toward extra cover where the fielder makes half a stop. The batters look for the quick single but the fielder from mid off is quick to latch onto it. Pant is sent back and the bowler does whip off the bails. The replays show that Pant dived in well and made his ground.

65.10

Floated up, full and around middle, this is flicked away straight to square leg.

We are back for the final session of Day 2. The umpires and the players have made their way out in the middle. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer will resume their innings for India. The latter is on strike as Taskin Ahmed will bowl him the first ball after Tea. Here we go...

... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...

Right then, India are all but about to have a lead in the game, courtesy of this Pant-Iyer partnership. They will be hoping to increase the lead as much as possible whilst Bangladesh will be hoping to restrict them and bundle them as soon as they can. Which side will dominate the final session of Day 2? To find out, join us at 2.00 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) for the final session.

Bangladesh bowlers have struggled in the second session after dominating the first. Taijul Islam bagged three wickets in the first session but hardly managed to trouble the Indian batters in the second session. Taskin Ahmed got the dangerous Virat Kohli out early but none of the bowlers could manage to break this Pant-Iyer partnership. They did get close to getting them on multiple occasions but missed the final touch. They will be hoping to start the final session on a positive note and bag some early wickets and restrict their opponents to a total of around 300 runs.

A session that belonged to India and they are the ones who are in the driver's seat now. After Virat Kohli's early dismissal in the second session, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer took on the bowling and put up a gritty stand for the team. They have built up a 132 runs partnership and India now trails by only a run. Rishabh Pant is playing on 86 whilst Shreyas Iyer is on 58. India will be hoping that these two continue in the same form and give a good lead by putting up a mammoth total on the scoreboard.

We are back for the 2nd session on Day 2! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Bangladesh. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are all set to resume their stay at the crease. It will be the left-arm off-spin of Taijul Islam to get things going with the ball here.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

Right then, India still trail by 141 runs and have 7 wickets in hand. They do bat deep and the middle order is in form as well but on a turning pitch and Taijul Islam spitting fire, a lot will depend on the pair of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. Do join us for another riveting session of Test cricket as both sides look to get ahead in the game. The post-Lunch session begins at 11.40 am IST (6.10 am GMT).

India will be pretty disappointed with the session on the whole but mostly with how their openers got out. Last evening, KL Rahul got a reprieve when he tried to step out and just pad the ball away but he made the same mistake one too many times and was the first to fall. Shubman Gill followed suit soon after as he tried to sweep against the turn and this put the visitors on the back foot. Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli then put on a decent stand but neither looked to be in complete control before eventually Pujara was dismissed via a sharp catch by Mominul Haque at short leg. Since then, Rishabh Pant has looked positive and Kohli has just about hung on. They will look to bat throughout the next session and take their side to safer shores.

Session summary - 28 overs, 67 runs and 3 wickets. A session that has well and truly belonged to Bangladesh and they will be much pleased with that bowling effort. They are still lagging behind a bit because they don't have many runs to play with. Taijul Islam was the pick of the bowlers as he dismissed the Indian top three and could have had more as well. Apart from Taijul though, Mehidy Hasan has attacked a bit but has bowled far too many loose deliveries for the batters to score runs. The other bowlers didn't bowl much this morning and they might have to step up in the next session if the hosts are to expose the Indian lower order.

OUT! TAKEN! Taijul Islam is on fire as he gets his thrid. Tosses it up here, Pujara pushes at the ball and gets it off the bat-pad to the short leg fielder where Mominul Haque takes a sharp catch down low to his left. The umpires get together and send it upstairs. The replay shows that fingers are underneath the ball and the big screen shows OUT! Bangladesh get their third and India are now in a spot of bother.

Is that a fair catch? The soft signal is out. Cheteshwar Pujara is caught at forward short leg by Mominul Haque. The third umpire checks the replays and concludes that Mominul has his fingers underneath the ball. The decision on the big screen is OUT!

India will now hope a solid stand from Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. Cheteshwar Pujara is on 18* while Virat Kohli is with him on 10* and this will be a key partnership for them.

We are ready for the start of Day 2! The umpires and the Bangladesh players are out in the middle and so are the overnight batters for India, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. Khaled Ahmed will get proceedings underway with the ball here.

PITCH REPORT - Sanjay Manjrekar says that there is a lot of wear and tear on the pitch that too on Day 2. Adds that on one side outside the right-hander's off stump, there are three roughs created mostly by Jaydev Unadkat and the Bangladeshi spinners will have a good chance of making use of it.

For Bangladesh, Mominul Haque was the only batter who put on a good showing with the bat. Their others batters kept on getting out at the opposite end. They managed to score 227 runs and their bowling side did well at the start troubling the Indian skipper, but he was saved by the DRS. They will be hoping to bag some early wickets on Day 2. Can they do it? Or will the Indians dominate on the second day as well? We shall find out together.

The Indian openers KL Rahul and Shubman Gill got a steady start with just one hiccup when Rahul was given out on the field but the decision was reversed. They will be hoping to put up a solid opening stand and put up a good lead over the opponents. Their bowlers did well too, as Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin bagged four wickets and Jaydev Unadkat took two.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the 2nd Test match between Bangladesh and India. It is the visitors who have had the better sleep for the night and the hosts are busy making the plans for the morning. Bangladesh were bundled out for 227 runs on Day 1. India will be hoping to put up a solid opening stand and put up some pressure on the hosts.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then, Day 1 of the 2nd Test between Bangladesh and India comes to an end, and certainly, it is the visitors who have the early advantage. There's still a lot of time remaining for the hosts to come back into the contest but they will want to make early inroads on Day 2 which will begin on Friday at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT). Do join us early though for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Umesh Yadav is down for a quick chat. Yadav says that a few of the balls were taking it off while some of the deliveries were seaming. Adds that there is something here for the fast bowlers and they just need to bowl in the right area. Ends by saying that there is grass but it is dead and that might be the reason for the spongey bounce.

Bangladesh opted to bat first and skipper Shakib Al Hasan mentioned that if they got through the first hour or so, they would be able to score big and they did just that, managing not to lose a wicket in the first hour but that didn't matter. Almost everyone in the top 6 got off to a start but it was only the ex-skipper and the man who was making a comeback in this Test, Mominul Haque who was able to make valuable runs for his side. With the score 213/5, Mehidy Hasan started feeling uneasy and had to take some pills but the very next over he got out playing a poor shot and from there Bangladesh lost 5 wickets for only 14 runs, being bowled out for a meager score of 227 runs. Taskin Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan came out to bowl with the former being a bit wayward but the skipper created enough doubt for the batters to get that breakthrough but it never came and with still 6 overs remaining in the day, the play was called off for badlight.

A slight halt in play. Oh, wait the umpires have come together and decided that the light is insufficient and that will be Stumps on Day 1 just like that. So, India remained unscathed going into Day 2 and will be mightily pleased as to how the first day has panned out. They were asked to field first by Shakib Al Hasan and after facing stiff resistance from the Bangladesh openers for about 15 overs, the visitors did make inroads and throughout the first two sessions, they were able to pick up a wicket just when a partnership was starting to look dangerous. Jaydev Unadkat was brilliant and Umesh Yadav along with Ravichandran Ashwin were simply sensational in the final session. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill did look a bit unsettled and there were a couple of half-chances induced as well but they will end the day with all 10 wickets intact.

Jaydev Unadkat comes in and runs to his right before taking a good low catch to his wrong side as Ashwin ends with a four-fer just like Umesh Yadav. Ahmed departs for a duck and Bangladesh finish with 227/10!

Mominul leans forward looking for the cover drive but opts to leave it late. The ball just angles in and bounces a bit extra as well before just flicking the gloves.

India are still without their regular skipper Rohit Sharma but KL Rahul has led the team well in his absence. The return to form for Cheteshwar Pujara is a big plus for them and almost everyone from the top order to the tailenders contributed with the bat in the 1st Test. Kuldeep Yadav grabbed his opportunity with both hands and the overall bowling looks in fine form as well. So, which side will make early inroads on Day 1? We shall find out. Toss and team news in a bit.

Bangladesh lost by a huge margin in the 1st Test but that could have been even worse given how they batted in the first innings. They did have a much better outing with the bat second time around and they will be looking to improve further. As for their bowling, it was good but they need to be a bit more lethal if they are to get the win here. The likes of Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan will be key for them and with skipper Shakib Al Hasan fit to bowl again, that will certainly be an added advantage for the hosts.

Hello and a warm welcome ladies and gentlemen to Day 1 of the 2nd and final Test match between Bangladesh and India at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. The hosts are 1-0 down and will have to win here in order to end the series on level terms. As for India, they will be hoping for more of the same and get that 2nd win to solidify their position on the World Test Championship table.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

India's tour of Bangladesh is coming to an end and in the 2nd and final Test match, the caravan moves back to the Shere-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. It was an eventful first Test match with India winning by a big margin in the end. Bangladesh were poor with the bat in the first innings but having had to chase more than 500 runs, the hosts showed a lot of grit and determination to take the game into the final day. The debutant Zakir Hasan was the star of the hosts' batting with a century in the fourth innings but they will need a lot more from their more experienced batters. India, on the other hand, will be quite content with their showing as Kuldeep Yadav weaved his magic with the ball in both innings and Cheteshwar Pujara too made a century that will serve as a confidence booster. With the visitors now in a good position to qualify for the World Test Championship final, they will look to ascertain their claim even further. The hosts though will take a lot of confidence from their performance in the fourth innings and will look to pull off an upset here. While the pitch in Chattogram kept on getting better for the batters, it most likely won't be the same case in Mirpur as the bowlers will get a lot more help. So, how will this tour end? Will India sweep away the Test series? Or will Bangladesh level it at 1-1? We shall find out over the course of the best few days.
