India 577-6 (143 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Saha keeps the boundaries coming as he comes down the track to Shakib and lofts him down the ground, over mid-on for a four.

Sah goes after Shakib in his next over, hitting him for a four and a six to inch closer to the fifty.

Bangladesh miss a run out as both Saha and Ashwin have a huge misunderstanding but the fielder is unable to gather the ball cleanly.

Hasan then strikes with the wicket of Ashwin, who is caught in the slips after scoring 34, having added 74 runs for the sixth wicket with Saha.

Hasan beats new Ravindra Jadeja with one that turns big and he survives a leg before shout off the next. Bangladesh take the DRS but it goes favour of the batsman with the ball missing the stumps.

Saha gets his half-century from 86 balls with a single on the off-side to make a strong comeback and silence all his critics.

Parthiv Patel, who replaced an injured Saha during the three games of the England Test series, had done well with the bat but Kohli preferred to stick with Saha.

Jadeja gets going with a pulled boundary over midwicket as India reach 577 for six in 143 overs.
