    India vs Bangladesh Live: It’s lunch time!

    That’ll be the Lunch on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test match between India and Bangladesh.

    IND 85/3 (26)

  • 11:03 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    IND 80/3 (25.2)

  • 10:54 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR, SIX from Pant!

    Rishabh Pant is taking his chances to unsettle the bowler Taijul Islam who has taken two wickets in the match so far. The Indian southpaw first played a sweep shot for a four and then danced down the track to hit a big six over deep mid-wicket. 

    IND 66/3 (23.2)

  • 10:44 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    A poor short ball from Taijul Islam and Rishabh Pant has pulled it for a four. This is one of the biggest strengths of Pant that he never misses out on any scoring opportunity. This is something that makes him special in Test cricket.

    IND 54/3 (21.1)

  • 10:35 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!

    This is a big-big wicket for Bangladesh and Taijul Islam is on top of the moon. He has bowled a beauty to trap Virat Kohli plumb in front of the stumps. Umpire has raised his finger in approval. Kohli has gone for a review, but it’s of no use as he is gone for all the money… TV umpire gives a nod to the decision and India are three down.  

    IND 48/3 (19.3)

  • 10:25 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET! KL Rahul is out!

    KL Rahul has chopped the ball on his stumps! He was looking comfortable at the crease but one poor shot will send him packing for a score of 22. Khaled Ahmed bowled a good length delivery outside off stump and Rahul went for a half-hearted drive. The ball took the inside edge of the bat and crashed onto the stumps. India are two down now.

  • 10:21 (IST)

  • 10:02 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: WICKET!

    Taijul Islam has provided Bangladesh the first breakthrough of the game! It is Shubman Gill who will have to depart for a score of 20.

    IND 41/1 (13.2)

  • 09:31 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: Back-to-back FOURS!

    IND 25/0 (6.3)

  • 09:26 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    A short ball from Shakib Al Hasan and KL Rahul played it beautifully from the backfoot to hit it for a four. This is easy batting for India. Bangladesh need to try out something out of the box in case to wish to dent India’s start here.   

    IND 19/0 (5.2)

  • 09:22 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    IND 15/0 (4.2)

  • 09:17 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    A lot of width of offer from Khaled Ahmed and KL Rahul leaps on it. He slashed it hard to hit it for a four from the gully region. No real threat from Bangladesh bowlers so far in this innings and both Rahul and Gill are playing comfortably. 

    IND 11/0 (3.1)

  • 09:05 (IST)

    India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

    First runs for India! Poor ball from Ebadat Hossain as he bowls it on the pads of KL Rahul. The batter flicked it for an easy for runs. This is not a start Bangladesh would have wanted from Ebadat.
