India 246-3 (70 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Wonder what they are smoking? An absolute poor review from Bangladesh as they go up for a LBW appeal against Kohli when he has hit it off the middle of the bat.

Wonder why they went for the review in the first place when the bowler would have clearly seen it strike the middle of the bat and no pad involved to waste one DRS review.

Kohli plays the sweep but mishits for a single fine on the leg side. Vijay looks to swing it high but fails to make proper connection yet he gets it in the gap as it goes through midwicket for a four and then keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Against the run of play, Taijul gets the key wicket of Vijay. The right-hander, who made 108 from 160 balls, plays a poor shot to gift his wicket as he goes across and looks to paddle it fine but misses one and is bowled.

Out walks Ajinkya Rahane, who will be feeling the pressure after being selected in the eleven ahead of Karun Nair, who was dropped despite hitting a triple hundred in his previous knock.

He struggled in the Test series against England, failing to get a fifty in three matches before he was ruled out with injury.

Young Hasan comes back into the attack as Kohli takes a single and Rahane takes one on the leg side to get off the mark.

Taijul has done a good job of keeping things tight while also being rewarded with the wicket of Vijay. He has conceded just 21 runs in 12 overs, a job which Ravindra Jadeja does mostly for India in Tests.

A couple of overs from Hasan before he makes way for the experienced Shakib, who starts off with a maiden to Kohli.

Bangladesh looking to dry up the runs and build some pressure on Kohli, who likes to hit boundaries regularly and keep the runs coming.

Rahane will be happy to defend as he gets just three from 22 balls before Taijul bowls a rare loose delivery. It is a trifle short and on the leg stump as Rahane helps it along, square on the leg side for a four which breaks the shackles and also gives the right-hander some confidence.
