India 319-3 (85 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Mehedi Hasan comes back for a new spell, replacing Rahman, who bowled three overs for 10 runs.

Hasan starts with a long hop as Rahane rocks back and smashes it through the covers for a four and then takes a run two balls later.

Bangladesh take the second new ball an over later as pacer Taskin Ahmed comes back. Two slips and a fielder in the gully as Bangladesh look to attack with the new ball and get a wicket or two before stumps.

The third ball is pitched up as Kohli times it sweetly through the covers for a couple. The next ball is short and wide and Kohli is happy to cut it square on the off-side for a four.

Kamrul Islam from the other end. He also starts with a short ball as Kohli hits it past point for a couple to bring up India's 300, in the 83rd over.

Rahane also getting his touch back. A wide half-volley is driven beautifully through the covers by the Mumbai right-hander for a four.

There is no stopping Kohli at the moment as he keeps finding the gaps and continue to keep the scoreboard moving. He steers Taskin past point for a couple and then takes one and Rahane picks one to get four runs from the over.

Kamrul tries a short ball at Kohli, who pulls it in thumping fashion through midwicket for a four. A single two balls later takes the right-hander's score to 90.

Nothing is working against Kohli for Bangladesh as he looks set to ease his way to another century.

Rahane gets into the act as he pulls a short ball from outside the off-stump over mid-on for a four. He then tries to ramp the next ball, which is again short, but misses and is lucky not to have edged it.
