June 10, 2015 17:20

STUMPS - DAY 1

India 239-0 (56 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Dhawan comes down the track and tries to loft Taijul over midwicket but gets a thick inside edge to deep square leg for two runs which takes him to 149.

He drives the next ball to mid-off for a single to complete his 150, from 158 balls.

With the light fading further, the umpires decide to call stumps on Day 1.

India have dominated the opening day as they scored 239 for no loss in 56 overs after nearly three hours were lost to rain.

Dhawan made a good comeback to the team, smashing 150 from 158 balls, having hit 21 fours, while at the other end Vijay played a solid innings of 89 from 178 balls.

If Bangladesh don't strike early on Day 2, they will be in for a long day on the field on a flat wicket offering no help at all to the bowlers.
