India 675-6 (164 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Bangladesh have done well to keep the Indian batsmen quiet after the tea break when they would be expected to have a dash and score some quick runs before declaring their innings.

A couple of runs off Mahmudullah takes Saha to 90 before he picks him to fine leg for a single and then gets another run off the last ball.

Jadeja has had enough of the singles as he gives Taijul the strike and launches him over mid-on for a six into the second tier of the stands down the ground. The next ball is short as Jadeja swats it to deep midwicket for one and Saha quietly takes another single.

Jadeja comes down again but can't get a full toss away as it goes on the bounce to long-on for one.

Hasan comes back after a brief spell from Mahmudullah. And Bangladesh let themselves down again in the field as Tamim Iqbal puts down a straightforward chance at long-off as Jadeja looks to hit Hasan down the ground.

Saha comes down the track and drives Hasan through the covers for a four to take his score to 98.

Jadeja cuts Taijul through point and takes two before he slogs the third ball over midwicket for another massive six to move to 49.

A single on the leg side gives Jadeja his half-century from 68 balls as he celebrates in his trademark style with a swirl of the bat. That also raises the 100-run stand for the seventh wicket from just 140 balls with Saha as Bangladesh continue to chase leather.

Saha comes down and lofts Taijul back over his head for a six to bring up his century in grand style, from 153 balls.
