| 3.3 : 3.3: U Yadav to Islam, FOUR! Poor ball this from Umesh Yadav! Bowls it on a length way outside off, Shadman Islam stands tall and hammers the ball away through covers for the first boundary of the game. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: U Yadav to S Islam, FOUR! Thrashed! Umesh Yadav bowls a shorter delivery around off, Islam camps on his back foot and pulls it with disdain over the mid-wicket fielder for the second boundary of the over. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: I Sharma to Kayes, OUT! LBW! India have their first wicket with the pink ball. It looked to be hitting the stumps and it is indeed hitting the leg stump. Slightly fuller on around off, Kayes gets across and looks to flick but misses. The ball hits his front pad and the Indian players go up in a confident appeal. The umpire agrees with them and raises his finger. Kayes has a word with his partner and reviews it. Replay rolls in. Ultra Edge first comes in and confirms no involvement of bat. B |
| 10.1 : 10.1: U Yadav to M Haque, OUT! Caught! Rohit Sharma has taken a stunner here! Good length ball around off, it shapes away at the last moment. It is in the channel of uncertainty. Mominul looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge. It goes to the right of second slip. Rohit Sharma there dives to his right and takes a superb one-handed catch. The Bangladesh skipper departs for a duck. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: U Yadav to Mithun,OUT! BOWLED! Umesh strikes again. Wicket, dot, wicket. This has been a brilliant over. Umesh fires one full ball which comes back in. Mithun looks to defend but gets a slight inside edge which takes the leg stump out for a toss. The crowd is up in joy and Bangladesh in deep, deep trouble here. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: M Shami to S Islam, EDGED AND FOUR! Length ball on off, Shadman looks to defend but the ball moves away takes the outside edge of the bat and it goes over the man at third slip for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: M Shami to S Islam, FOUR! This time looked a bit more controlled. Good length ball around off, Shadman looks to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes wide of gully for a boundary. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: M Shami to Rahim, OUT! Chopped on! Bangladesh's crisis man is out of here and the misery piles on. Back of a length ball on off, Mushfiqur looks to defend but he is a bit late on it. The ball takes the upper half of his bat and goes onto hit the stumps. A similar way in which Mushfiqur got out in the first Test. India did not look too good with the ball to start off with but now they are looking at their lethal best! |
| 12.3 : 12.3: U Yadav to Islam, FOUR! Strays down the leg side does Umesh Yadav! It is bowled on a length, which is picked off easily by Shadman Islam and goes into the fine leg fence for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: U Yadav to Islam, OUT! Caught! Beautiful delivery from Umesh. Hardly anything Shadman could do. Bangladesh have half their side back in the hut now. Good length ball around off, Shadman is in two minds whether to play at it or not. He decides to have a poke at it. The ball shapes away and tickles the outside edge. It goes straight to Saha. He will not drop those even in his sleep. Half the side back in the pavilion. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: U Yadav to Das, FOUR! Liton is off the mark in style. Slightly overpitched on the pads, Liton picks it early and flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: U Yadav to Das, FOUR! Poor ball and rightfully punished. Liton looks to be in the mood here. Length ball well outside off, Das slams it through backward point for a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: U Yadav to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Poor ball from Yadav! He tends to stray down sometimes. Bowls it on the pads, Mahmudullah flicks it to fine leg and picks up an easy boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: R Jadeja to Das, FOUR! Beautifully played! Low Full toss on middle and leg, Liton flicks it to deep mid-wicket and picks up his third boundary of the innings. |
| 19.4: I Sharma to Mahmudullah, OUT! CAUGHT! First it was Rohit Sharma who took a blinder now it is Saha who takes what we can call a superhero catch. Brilliant stuff from the Indian keeper. Ishant Sharma bowls it on a length around off, the ball swings a bit late. Mahmudullah looks to defend it but the ball takes the outside edge and goes towards first slip. Saha, the local lad, dives to his right and takes a stunning catch inches above the ground with just one hand. Bangladesh lose their sixth |
| 20.4: M Shami to Das, FOUR! This is how you reply after being hit on the grill. Short ball on off, Liton rocks on his back foot and pulls it with full authority to square leg for a boundary. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: I Sharma to Das, FOUR! Beautiful shot from Liton Das! He is looking in terrific touch out there. Ishant bowls a half-volley outside off, Das lunges forward and creams the drive to deep extra cover for another boundary. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: M Shami to Hasan, FOUR! Nicely played that! Short ball outside off, Hasan rocks on his back foot and plays the upper cut over the second slip fielder to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 22.6 : 22.6: M Shami to Hasan, FOUR! Beautifully played! Shami goes full outside off, Nayeem creams the drive through cover for the second boundary of the over. |
| 23.5 : 23.5: I Sharma to E Hossain, OUT! TIMBER! After bowling some balls outside off, Ishant goes full and hits the stumps. Briliant bowling this! Full delivery on off, Hossain looks to defend while he moves to the leg side but fails to make any connection to it. The ball whizzes past the bat and goes onto hitting the stumps. The visitors crumbel further. |
| 25.1 : 25.1: I Sharma to Hasan, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Fullish delivery around off, Mehidy prods forward and guides this towards the backward point region for his first boundary. |
| 25.5 : 25.5: I Sharma to Hasan, FOUR! Lovely shot! This man is showing that he can bat. Full delivery outside off, Mehidy lunges forward and thrashes the ball through covers and into the fence. |
| 26.3 : 26.3: M Shami to N Hasan, FOUR! Nicely played! Shami bowls a length ball on off, Nayeem on his back foot guides it over the slip cordon and into the third man fence. |
| 26.4 : 26.4: M Shami to Hasan, FOUR! Nicely played! Back of a length delivery outside off, Nayeem camps on his back foot and punches it to deep point for a boundary. |
| 27.6 : 27.6: I Sharma to Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT! The concussion substitute has to go. Full delivery on middle, Mehidy flicks this uppishly but he finds Pujara at short mid-wicket. He dives forward and takes the catch just inches above the ground. The square leg umpire has told Mehidy Hasan to wait in order to check whether it was a clean catch which it is and Mehidy has to go. Bangladesh have not even reached 100 and they are just two wickets away from getting bowled out. |
| 29.5 : 29.5: Sharma to N Hasan, OUT! Bowled! 5-fer for Ishant Sharma. His 10th in Tests. A proper outswinger this. Ishant uses the width of the crease and bowls it on middle. It shapes away from the batter. Nayeem looks to defend it away from his body. He misses and the off stump goes for a toss. Second 5-fer at home for Ishant. 12 years after his first. |
| 30.3 : 30.3: M Shami to Abu Jayed, OUT! CAUGHT! Pujara saves Rohit from another embarrasment of dropping a catch. Sharma had dropped a sitter in the first Test match and he was on the verge of dropping another but it was not to be Pujara saved him. Good length ball outside off, Jayed looks to guide it to third man but the ball goes off his outside edge towards Rohit Sharma at second slip. He makes a mess of it and has no idea where the ball has gone. Luckily for him, the ball lands straight into the ha |
| 0.1 : 0.1: A Hossain to Agarwal, FOUR! India are off the mark in style. Mayank does not wait for long. Good length ball outside off, Mayank is to quick pounce on it and he slashes it through point for a boundary. The form that this man is in, he will not miss out on those. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: A Hossain to Sharma, SIX! Rohit waits for a bit but he too gets off the mark in style. He loves playing here in Eden Gardens and he is off the mark with one of his favorite shots. Back of a length ball on middle, Rohit gets on his back foot and pulls it over backward square leg. The ball hits the cushion on the up and after a few checks the umpire raises both his hands to signal it as a maximum. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: A Hossain to M Agarwal, FOUR! Just plays it with timing and not power. Length ball outside off, Mayank just guides it behind square on the off side for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Abu Jayed to Agarwal, FOUR! Poor ball to end the over. It is overpitched on the pads, Mayank says thank you very much and flicks it with ease through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: A Hossain to Agarwal, OUT! Caught! Stunned silence here at Eden Gardens. Mayank has thrown it away here. Good length ball outside off, Agarwal goes chasing after and looks to guide it wide of gully. He is unable to do so and ends up playing it uppishly to the man there. Mehidy Hasan there shows sharp reflexes as the pink ball is not easy to catch. He takes a good, sharp catch. Something to cheer about for Bangladesh. Mayank practices that shot as he walks back but it is too late young man. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: A Hossain to Pujara, FOUR! Nicely played! Good length ball from Al-Amin Hossain, Pujara stands tall and guides it past the diving gully fielder to third man for his first boundary. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: E Hossain to Sharma, FOUR! Rohit's first runs off the session. On the pads, Rohit flicks it with no fuss through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: E Hossain to R Sharma, FOUR! Off the edge this time. Good length ball around off, Rohit looks to defend but the ball zips away a bit. He then looks to pull out his bat. The ball takes the outside edge and goes on the bounce wide of second slip for a boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Hossain to Sharma, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call it is. India don't lose their review but they lose their man. Length ball outside off, Rohit looks to leave it but the ball comes back in. It hits him on the pads The Bangladesh players put in a huge appeal. The umpire agrees with them and raises his finger. Rohit has a word with his partner and then signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and Ball tracker shows that the ball was going to hit the top of off. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: E Hossain to V Kohli, EDGED AND FOUR! Kohli gets off the mark in a streaky way. Good length ball around off, Kohli looks to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes wide of gully for a boundary. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Abu Jayed to Pujara, FOUR! Poor bowling this from Abu Jayed! Strays on the pads, Pujara loves it there and he just flicks it through square leg for a boundary. 50 up for India. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Abu Jayed to Pujara, FOUR! Brilliant just brilliant from Cheteshwar Pujara! Short of a length ball outside off, Pujara stands tall and thrashes it to backward point for a boundary. 15000 first class runs for Cheteshwar Pujara. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Abu Jayed to Kohli, FOUR! And Kolkata witnesses one of the most gorgeous looking cricketing shot. A Virat Kohli cover drive. Fuller on off, Kohli gets on his front foot, keeps a good balance and creams his drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Abu Jayed to Pujara, FOUR! Another delivery drifting on the pads, Pujara easily clips it away through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: E Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! Gorgeous! You can run out of superlatives but Kohli's drive will still please you all the time. Full on off, Kohli lunges forward and drives it with class through covers for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: A Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! Lucky but Kohli won't mind. Good length ball closer to the off pole. Kohli initially looks to play but then decides to leave. He is a bit late though as the ball goes off the face of the bat between second slip and gully and to the fence. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: E Hossain to Pujara, FOUR! Lovely shot! Back of a length ball outside off, Pujara stands tall and punches the ball past the diving Taijul Islam and into the cover fence. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: E Hossain to C Pujara, FOUR! This is excellent batting! Ebadot Hossain bowls a full delivery outside off, Pujara lunges forward and creams the drive through mid off for a boundary. The fielder from mid off chases after it but fails to chase it down. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: E Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! Kohli is in the mood! Ebadot Hossain dishes out a length ball on middle, Virat creams the straight drive back past the bowler and into the fence. Brilliant stuff. 50-run stand is up between the two. A needed stand as the hosts had lost two quick wickets and these two have now got them closer to Bangladesh's total. |
| 23.5 : 23.5: A Hossain to Pujara, MISFIELD AND FOUR! You cannot let these balls go through especially if you are an experienced campaigner. This is just poor from Mahmudullah. Fullish ball outside off, Pujara leans forward and plays the drive to cover where Mahmudullah misfields and allows the ball to go into the fence. |
| 33.4 : 33.4: Abu Jayed to Pujara, FOUR! Bang! Short ball outside off, Pujara rocks on his back foot and pulls it firmly to deep mid-wicket for a boundary. Moves to 49 with that. |
| 34.6 : 34.6: T Islam to Kohli, FOUR! What a way to end the over. Taijul goes full on middle, Kohli plays a lovely straight drive towards mid on and picks up another boundary. |
| 39.1 : 39.1: E Hossain to Pujara, OUT! CAUGHT! Pujara departs yet again after scoring a fifty. It has been happening quite frequently and it has happened yet again. On a length on off with a little extra bounce on it. Pujara looks to defend it off the back foot but it goes off the outside edge towards Shadman Islam at second slip. He makes no mistake and a good stand comes to an end. |
| 39.5 : 39.5: E Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! FIFTY! 23rd fifty for Kohli in Tests! This has been a masterful innings from the maestro. He will look to continue and get a huge one after getting a good start. Coming to the ball, it is a short delivery on off, Kohli rocks on his back foot and pulls it with disdain towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 41.3 : 41.3: E Hossain to A Rahane, FOUR! Poor ball but still had to be put away. Ebadot bowls a low full toss on off, Rahane prods forward and creams the drive through ccovers to pick up his first boundary. |
| 42.2 : 42.2: A Hossain to Rahane, FOUR! Nicely played! Full delivery on middle, Rahane works it to mid on. Mushfiqur comes around and looks to stop the ball diving to his left but the ball bounces over him and goes into the long on fence. Another instance of a Bangladesh player putting in a poor effort in the field. |
| 42.5 : 42.5: A Hossain to Kohli, MISFIELD AND FOUR! What can we say about Bangladesh's fielding? They have been poor throughout this innings and another one has gone through on this occasion. Full delivery outside off, Kohli lunges forward and drives it to cover where Mahmudullah lets it go past him and into the fence. Mominul runs after it from mid off slides to parry it back but fails to do so. |
| 45.5: E Hossain to Rahane, FOUR! Shot! This is the second last ball of the day but Rahane still has no issues in putting bad balls away. Low full toss outside off, Rahane prods forward and drives it beautifully through the covers for a boundary. |
| 47.4 : 47.4: T Islam to Kohli, FOUR! Just a gentle flick and it has gone to the fence. Taijul attempts for a flatter arm ball but doesn't get the line and length right. The length is on the shorter side, around leg, Kohli moves back and tickles it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 48.4: A Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! That's bread and butter! An over-pitched delivery around off, Kohli leans forward and across before flicking it delightfully through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 50.3 : 50.3: A Hossain to Rahane, FOUR! Uppish but just wide of the bowler. Fuller in length and close to off, Rahane is on the front foot as he drives it with a straight bat. He does so slightly early and hence it goes uppishly back in the direction of the bowler. It's wide of Al-Amin though and runs down to long on for a boundary. 50-run stand comes up! |
| 50.6 : 50.6: A Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! Yet another sumptuous drive from the bat of the Indian skipper. Hossain overpitches outside off, Kohli takes his front leg forward and thumps his drive through the gap at covers. Majestic to watch! |
| 54.6: A Hossain to Rahane, FOUR! Uncontrolled but wide enough to go past the diving keeper. Short ball around the body, Rahane looks to pull but he does so off the top edge. It goes to the left of the keeper. Mithun dives on that side but the ball is well wide of him and it goes to the fine leg fence. The lead now goes past 100. |
| 58.1 : 58.1: E Hossain to A Rahane, FOUR! Not a welcome Ebadot would like. Fuller outside off, Rahane shuffles across a bit to his off stump and creams his drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 59.2 : 59.2: T Islam to Rahane, FOUR! Magnificent shot! Flighted on middle, Rahane comes down the track and whips it against the spin through the cow corner region for a boundary. |
| 61.1 : 61.1: Islam to A Rahane, OUT! Caught! Soft, soft dismissal for Rahane. It is a nothing delivery. Short outside off, Rahane looks to cut but ends up slicing it to the left of the man at point. Ebadot Hossain takes a simple catch. The 99-run stand is broken. Once again, just like Pujara, Rahane too does not hang around long after getting to his fifty. |
| 66.5 : 66.5: E Hossain to Kohli, FOUR! Classic Kohli! Good length ball on off, Kohli gets on his front foot and drives it on the up through covers to get to 99. A trademark cover drive from the King to get one away from another ton. |
| 70.1 : 70.1: Abu Jayed to Kohli, EDGY FOUR! A length delivery close to off, a hint of away movement there, Kohli, who stands a few steps ahead of the crease, tries to drive through covers but it catches the outside edge and runs down to third man for a boundary. |
| 70.2 : 70.2: Abu Jayed to Kohli, FOUR! Cracking this time! Jayed arrows in a fuller length ball on off, angling in after pitching, Kohli presses forward and across before caressing it down the ground for a boundary at long on. |
| 70.3 : 70.3: Abu Jayed to Kohli, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries! Kohli is motoring. Uses his fabulous wrists this time and flicks it beautifully past the short mid-wicket fielder for a glorious boundary. |
| 70.4 : 70.4: Abu Jayed to Kohli, FOUR! Kohli is on fire! He is putting on a show at Eden Gardens and the crowd is just loving it. Truly a masterclass from a masterful batsman. Full in length and outside off, Virat drives it on the up and creams it through the gap at covers. Perfect timing and placement. |
| 75.1 : 75.1: T Islam to Kohli, FOUR! Flighted on off, Kohli gets on his front foot and drives it uppishly wide of cover. Kayes dives but does not get his hand to it and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 76.2 : 76.2: Abu Jayed to R Jadeja, OUT! Bowled! Jadeja has completely misread that and left a ball which is coming in with the angle. Good length ball pitching just around off, it comes in with the angle. Jadeja does not pick it and leaves it alone. The ball goes onto disturb the off pole. The break seems to have brought in a lapse of concentration for Ravindra. He won't look back at it fondly and even if he tries to forget it his teammates won't make that process any easy. |
| 76.4 : 76.4: Abu Jayed to Saha, FOUR! The local boy is off the mark in style. Full outside off, Saha gets on his front foot and drives it right off the meat of his bat through covers for a boundary. The crowd loves it and go up in cheers. |
| 79.5 : 79.5: T Islam to Saha, FOUR! Tossed up on off, Saha gets on his front foot and drives it through covers. The fielder there gives it a half-hearted chase and fails to stop it. Taijul is unimpressed with the effort and rightfully so. Bangladesh look jaded in the field not now but from the start of the innings. |
| 80.1 : 80.1: E Hossain to Kohli, EDGED AND FOUR! Good length ball around off, it comes in a bit off the deck. Kohli looks to play it on the on side but he is a bit late in his shot and the ball goes off the leading edge towards the backward point fence for a boundary. |
| 80.3 : 80.3: E Hossain to Kohli, OUT! Caught! Superman catch by Taijul! He is showing his teammates how to field. In Taijul's previous over there was a lethargic effort and he was not happy and he shows why. Poor ball from Ebadot. It is full on the pads, nothing delivery. Kohli flicks it uppishly looking to score a maximum. Tajul, who is standing ahead of the ropes. Stretches and dives to his right and plucks this out of thin air and takes a blinder. Kohli's brilliant innings comes to an end. He walks |
| 84.2 : 84.2: E Hossain to Ashwin, FOUR! Poor fielding from Abu Jayed. Full and jagging back in Ashwin flicks it through square leg. Abu Jayed comes running in and looks to stop it with a dive but he cannot do it cleanly. The ball deflects off his body and into the fence. |
| 84.3 : 84.3: E Hossain to R Ashwin, FOUR! Pulled away with disdain. Back of a length ball on off, Ashwin gets on his back foot and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 85.6 : 85.6: A Hossain to Ashwin, OUT! Umpire's call. The impact is marginally umpire's call. Good length ball pitching outside off, Ashwin looks to flick but misses. The ball hits his pad and there is a huge appeal from the Bangladesh bowlers. Umpire Joel Wilson raises his finger after a few thoughts. Ashwin has a word with Saha and then signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and it shows the impact is just about umpire's call. India don't lose their review but Ashwin has to walk back. |
| 86.4 : 86.4: Abu Jayed to U Yadav, OUT! Caught! Umesh walks off for a duck. Full around off, Umesh swings his bat wildly at it but gets a thick outside edge which goes straight to second slip. Shadman Islam makes no mistake. No Umesh blast in the pink ball Test at Kolkata. |
| 87.3 : 87.3: Hossain to Sharma, OUT! LBW! It is not plumb but it is clipping the leg pole. India once again manage to keep their review but fail to overturn the review. Fuller and jagging back in from around off. Ishant looks to flick but misses. The ball hits him on the pads. There is a huge appeal and umpire agrees with him. Ishant has a word with Saha and then takes it to the T.V umpire. Replay rolls in. Ultra Edge first shows no involvement of bat. Ball Tracker then rolls in and shows that the ball |
| 87.6 : 87.6: A Hossain to Shami, FOUR! Good length ball around off, Shami guides it through the third man region for a boundary. |
| 88.5 : 88.5: Abu Jayed to Shami, SIX! Shami is not going to just hang around. Full on middle, slightly overpitched. Shami smashes it over the long on fence for a maximum. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Sharma to Islam, OUT! This was coming with the way Ishant was making the ball talk. He bowled a plenty of away swingers in the zone outside off and suddenly changed his line. Served it around middle and off and got it to shape away a shade. Shadman was caught inside the crease, trying to work it away. But he missed it and got rapped on the back leg. The Indian players appealed and the finger went up. Shadman decided to refer the decision but it's of no use. The third umpire found the impact |
| 2.5: I Sharma to Haque, OUT! Caught! Second wicket for Ishant. The Bangladesh skipper grabs a pair. A forgetful series for him. Ishant goes wide of the crease and bowls it very full outside off. Mominul looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge. It goes to the left of Saha and he takes a simple catch. The crowd are up in celebration and so are the Indian players. Bangladesh 2/2 and they are in all kind of trouble here. Mominul becomes only the 3rd Bangladeshi skipper to grab a pair. Not a re |
| 5.2 : 5.2: U Yadav to Mithun, OUT! Wicket number 3 goes down! Umesh bowled the first one in the fuller region and then immediately shortens it to surprise the batsman. Mithun probably picks the length late and is hurried into his pull shot. He mistimes it in the air towards short mid-wicket where Mohammed Shami moves back a bit and pouches the catch safely. Maybe, that hit on the head was still replaying in his mind. He could have either left it or pulled it with more conviction. But that fear didn't |
| 6.4 : 6.4: I Sharma to Kayes, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant stuff from Ishant and Kohli as well. Full delivery outside off, Kayes looks to defend it but it goes off the outside edge towards Kohli at third slip. He dives to his right and takes the catch. After getting up, he signals to second slip that he picked up the ball late but luckily for him he was able to catch the ball cleanly. Bangladesh falling like nine pins. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: I Sharma to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Full delivery outside off, Mahmudullah lunges forward and creams the drive through covers to pick up his first boundary of the innings. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: I Sharma to Rahim, FOUR! Well played! Rahim is concentrating on playing with soft hands. A length delivery close to off, Rahim gets forward with an angled bat and pushes it through cover-point for a glorious boundary. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: I Sharma to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Nicely played in the end. Extra bounce on a good length outside off, Mahmudullah is on his toes and steers it through gully-point for a boundary. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: U Yadav to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Cracking shot! Back of a length delivery on off, Mahmudullah camps back and smacks it through point for a boundary. They are not going to get bogged down, if it's there to be hit, they will hit! |
| 10.1 : 10.1: I Sharma to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Gorgeous shot! Fullish ball from Ishant outside off, Mahmudullah prods forward and hammers the drive between the cover and mid off fielder into the fence. It went like a tracer bullet and the fielder at mid off did not even move. This is the kind of positivity that the Bangladesh batsmen need to show. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: M Shami to Rahim, FOUR! Beautiful shot from Rahim. These two are looking good out there. Fullish delivery on middle, Rahim works it to deep mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: M Shami to Rahim, FOUR! Stands tall! Short ball outside off, Rahim stands tall and punches it off the back foot through covers into the fence. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: M Shami to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Thrashed! Shami bowls a short of a length ball outside off, Mahmudullah hops and punches the ball through covers for a boundary. The fielder hares across to stop it but fails to do so. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: M Shami to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Short ball outside off, Mahmudullah rocks on his back foot and thrashes the ball through covers for a boundary. |
| 16.5: U Yadav to Rahim, FOUR! Full delivery outside off, Rahim drives this beautifully through covers and picks himself another boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: U Yadav to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Boom! Short in length and outside off, Mahmudullah hangs on the back foot and smashes it via a pull shot to the deep mid-wicket fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: M Shami to Hasan, FOUR! Beats the racing fielding! Back of a length ball outside off, Mehidy moves inside the crease and punches it aerially. It travels in front of square on the off side and Pujara gives the chase. The ball though wins the race to the fence. |
| 20.2 : 20.2: U Yadav to Rahim, FOUR! Easy pickings! An overpitched delivery on middle, Rahim picks it off his pads and flicks it with nice timing and placement through square leg. |
| 20.3 : 20.3: U Yadav to M Rahim, FOUR! This is gorgeously done! Yadav once again pitches it too full and outside off, Rahim leans into the drive and thumps it through the gap at covers. Pujara gives the race and comes second once more. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: R Ashwin to Rahim, FOUR! Rahim brings out one of his favourite shots and nails it. Tossed up ball landing outside off, Rahim goes down on one knee and sweeps it to the deep mid-wicket fence. |
| 23.1 : 23.1: M Shami to Rahim, FOUR! Shot! Rahim has batted with good control. Shami pitches it up and outside off, he strides forward and drives it crisply on the up through covers. The ball races away to the fence in no time. |
| 23.5 : 23.5: Shami to M Hasan, SIX! How has that gone the distance? A leading edge has cleared third man. Shami bangs in a short ball around leg, Mehidy turns to play it on the leg side but it catches the leading half of his bat and flies over the fielder in the deep. |
| 25.2 : 25.2: I Sharma to Rahim, FOUR! 21st Test fifty for Rahim, second in this series. A good length delivery outside off, Rahim pushes inside the line with an angled bat and guides it fine down to third man for a boundary. A responsible knock from the senior man and he is trying to show the way for others! |
| 25.5 : 25.5: I Sharma to Hasan, FOUR! Mehidy puts one away! Back of a length delivery outside off, Mehidy camps back and punches it behind square on the off side. It's wide of gully and races away to the fence. 50-run stand comes up! |
| 25.6 : 25.6: I Sharma to Hasan, OUT! Ishant takes his revenge on the next ball! 9th wicket for him in this Test match. His line on this delivery is impeccable. He puts it on a good length and close to the off stump line. It nips away a bit after landing and Mehidy, completely flat-footed, has a needless poke inside the line. Gets a thick outside edge and it settles nicely into the hands of Virat Kohli at first slip. The Indian skipper makes no mistake and Bangladesh have now lost half their side, trail |
| 27.5 : 27.5: I Sharma to Islam, FOUR! Even better this time from Taijul! Ishant is too straight with his line this time, Taijul picks it off his pads and flicks it with the angle of the bowler. Lovely timing and it speeds away across the fence at mid-wicket. |
| 30.4 : 30.4: R Ashwin to Rahim, FOUR! Well played! Shortish and outside off, Rahim uses the depth of his crease as he hammers it square of the wicket on the off side for a boundary. |
| 32.3 : 32.3: U Yadav to T Islam, OUT! The short delivery has finally consumed Taijul Islam. He never looked comfortable against the short pitched deliveries. Yadav sensed that and bangs it in around off. Taijul goes on his toes to fend at it but it takes the shoulder of his bat and flies to gully. Rahane takes a catch and will be relieved. With that it will also be STUMPS ON DAY 2! |
| 34.1 : 34.1: U Yadav to E Hossain, OUT! Soft dismissal! Umesh Yadav has bounced out Ebadot Hossain. He digs in a well-directed short ball around off and it gets high on the batsman. Ebadot is stuck on the back foot trying to get away from the line. But he has his bat hanging there and the ball takes the splice of his willow. It lobs up to third slip where Virat Kohli takes the simplest of catches. |
| 34.6 : 34.6: U Yadav to Hossain, FOUR! Very full in length and too straight in line, Al-Amin clips it off his pads and it races away through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 36.6: U Yadav to Rahim, FOUR! Bat on ball this time and it has gone to the fence. This means that Al-Amin Hossain will have to face the next over. Short in length and around leg, it goes down with the angle, Rahim stands tall and pulls it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 37.2 : 37.2: I Sharma to Hossain, FOUR! Nicely played in the end by Bangladesh's number 9! Shortish delivery around off, Hossain is on his toes as he controls the bounce well and then guides it wide of the slip cordon for a boundary. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: I Sharma to A Hossain, FOUR! Lucky boundary! Ishant follows the batsman down the leg side with a yorker, Al-Amin does well to bring his bat down in time. He jams it out from the inner half of his bat and it loops over the keeper on one bounce for a boundary. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: R Jadeja to Rahim, FOUR! Innovation from the little batsman. A tossed up ball landing on the fuller side outside off. Rahim quickly changes his stance and reverse sweeps it over backward point for a boundary. Moves into the 70s! |
| 38.4 : 38.4: R Jadeja to Rahim, FOUR! Conventional sweep this time! Flighted and full around off, Rahim stretches forward with a bend back knee and sweeps it from the outer portion of his bat. It flies in front of square leg and races away to the fence. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: U Yadav to Rahim, OUT! Fight over from Rahim and end is nigh for Bangladesh. Yadav dishes out a good length ball close to off, Rahim steps down the track to make room for an inside-out shot but ends up skying it in the air at covers. Jadeja is stationed there and he will not drop those even in his sleep. An excellent knock by Rahim is over and sadly for him, he won't be getting his maiden century in Day-Night Test! |
| 39.5 : 39.5: U Yadav to Hossain, FOUR! That is a shot from a batsman with nothing to lose. Fearless. Back of a length ball on middle, Al-Amin stays back and thrashes it down to long off for a boundary. |
| 40.4 : 40.4: Sharma to A Hossain, FOUR! Why would you bowl that length, screams Sunil Gavaskar on air? Rightly so. Target the stumps with a full length ball. Sharma bangs it in around leg, Al-Amin moves back to pull across the line but it takes the top edge and flies over the slip cordon for a boundary. |
| 41.1 : 41.1: U Yadav to Hossain, OUT! Umesh Yadav picks a fifer (his third in Tests) and wins the individual battle with Ishant Sharma! Mahmudullah won't come out to bat so INDIA WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 46 RUNS and become the first team to complete four successive innings wins. A back of a length ball on middle, Al-Amin hangs on the back foot to play it loosely with a straight bat but it kisses the outside edge and flies behind to Saha. He catches it with ease and they all appeal. The finger has gone up |
