India 411-3 (100 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Taskin is not learning from his mistakes. Once again he tries the short ball to Kohli, which doesn't rise much and the Indian captain pulls it emphatically through midwicket for a four. The next ball is a bit quicker and Kohli again goes for the pull but this time he doesn't get it off the middle for a single to fine leg.

Another short ball as Kohli tries the ramp shot but makes no connection before he pulls the next to deep square leg for one.

Taskin is becoming too predictable. The short balls continue as Kohli slashes it over the slips for another boundary and then picks a quick single to mid-on and gets an extra run, courtesy of the overthrow.

This is going out of hand as far as Bangladesh is concerned and Kohli is quick to seize the opportunity and grab the game by the neck.

He gives Shakib the charge and lofts him over mid-off for a four and then takes a single to the fielder who is pushed back.

Taskin is bowling a lot of loose deliveries. This time Kohli steers it behind point as the fielder in the deep has no chance for another boundary before a single helps him race to his 150, from 170 balls, having hit 19 fours already.

Taskin bowls another long hop as this time Rahane slashes it over the off-side field for another boundary to continue the flow of runs. A single to Rahane before Kohli misses out on a full toss, as he is unable to get it past the fielder at midwicket.

Shakib switches to over the wicket, with a view to keeping the batsmen quiet by bowling on and around the leg stump but India still manage to get three runs from the over.

India are 411 for three in 100 overs, having scored 55 runs from the first 10 overs on Day 2.

No stopping Kohli, who has stroked his way to 151 from 174 balls, while Rahane is also looking good for a big score as he stroked his way to 60 from 87 balls.
