India 167-0 (36 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard
Leg-spinner Jubair comes into the attack. Dhawan tries to paddle sweep the first ball but fails to make proper connection for a single on the leg side and Vijay picks one two balls later.
Dhawan is desperate to get after the young leggie as he flicks a full delivery but is unable to beat the fielder at midwicket.
He gives the charge to the last ball and is nearly done in by the googly but gets a thick outside edge which goes on the off-side.
Vijay survives a huge shout for LBW off Hom as he looks to play across the line on the leg side but misses.
In the next over, he reaches out to a full delivery and hits it through the covers but gets just a single with a fielder placed at sweeper.
Dhawan flicks the next ball square on the leg side for a four to bring up his hundred in some style, from 101 balls. This is his third Test century and his first against Bangladesh, having hit 16 fours.
