India 76-3 (12 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Taskin comes back, replacing Shakib, who bowled just one over. The first ball is wide and full as Rohit goes after it but is beaten and the second ball is an exact action replay of the first.

Rohit (21) makes connection with the third ball, another half-volley, but hits is straight to the fielder at point who drops a straightforward chance.

Taskin drops short and wide as Rohit manages to hit it past point for a much-needed boundary for the Indians.

The next ball is even worse but Rohit has no complaints as he slashes a short wide ball over the thirdman fence for a six.

The last ball is steered fine but the fielder at thirdman run across but lets it go through his legs for another four.

14 runs from the over gives the Indian innings a slight lift as they reach 66 for three in 11 overs, with Rohit playing a good hand on 35 from 31 balls.

Yuvraj is happy to give the strike to Rohit, who is looking in good touch. He drives Mortaza through the covers for two runs before pulling the next ball fine for a four.

Yuvraj pulls the fifth ball to deep midwicket to bring up his 1000 runs in T20 Internationals, from 47 matches.

10 runs from the over, making it 24 from the last two, as India recover slightly to reach 76 for three in 12 overs.
