B'desh 71-2 (22 ovs) vs India; Target: 459Scorecard

Finally Umesh Yadav comes into the attack, to bowl the 17th over as he replaces Ishant, who bowled three overs for 19 runs in his first spell.

Ashwin goes up in appeal for a catch by wicketkeeper Saha as Sarkar is beaten off the inside edge. And as always, Ashwin is keen to go for the DRS and manages to convince Kohli this time but there is no edge and the stumping also fails to stand.

This has been quite a good spell by Ashwin, who has created some chances and kept their batsmen on their toes.

Sarkar has looked quite fluent and done well against both seamers and Ashwin while Haque has also been relatively trouble free so far.

Ashwin's spell of one for 19 in nine overs comes to an end as he makes way for Ravindra Jadeja, to bowl the 20th over of the innings.

Sarkar immediately goes after Jadeja, chipping down the track and smashing it down the ground past mid-on for a four.

The last ball is short as Sarkar cuts it past point for the second four of the over to take Bangladesh to 65 for one in 20 overs.

Bangladesh take a risky single as Haque taps it to Ashwin and takes a quick single, he had to dive at the end to ensure he made his crease.

Jadeja makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Sarkar, who is brilliantly caught by Rahane in the slips, who did well to hold on to a one-handed catch to his right.

Once the Bangladesh top order guilty of not carrying on after getting off to a start. Sarkar looked solid during his innings of 42 before he comes forward to defend and gets the outside edge and Rahane does well to anticipate it and complete a good sharp catch, to make the breakthrough.
