- BATSMENRB4s6sSR19.6 yorker on off stump. Smacked back to Rubel, and he sticks his hand out. That stops the ball, but the batsmen want the single anyway. Harakiri, eventually. Rubel collects the ball, and walks across to the non-striker's end to run Rohit out. India finish on 176 for 3. 176/39.5 superb delivery! 143 kph yorker on middle. Dhawan misses, Rubel uproots middle stump! Did that reverse just a touch? Full on middle, Dhawan backed away, made room for himself and just plain misses his drive. A stare from Rubel. 70/119.1 misses out on the fifty! Full on leg stump, and flicked off his pads to the leg side. It's hit uppishly, but doesn't have the distance.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 and bowled! Flat down leg, Tamim walks across, looking to drag the ball over short fine leg, but the ball bounces is a tad slow off the pitch. Tamim misses the heave, the ball goes on and hits leg stump 40/31.5 sees him coming again and bowls it wider and much shorter! Lovely piece of spin bowling. Liton somehow chooses the worst possible shot, opting to work the ball from well outside off. He wasn't close to the pitch nor was he adept at improvisation. So the ball went through a big gap between bat and pad. Karthik does the rest. 12/13.4 a wild heave from Sarkar. Not very good batting, it's a dart again. Sarkar heaves across the line, he's nowhere near the ball. The ball finds a big gap between bat and pad, and goes through to hit leg stump. 35/28.4 he's picked out deep midwicket. Short delivery around off, Mahmudullah rocks back, looking to pull the ball into the stands but gets no timing. All he can do is pull the ball to deep midwicket. 61/416.4 breaks the partnership! Rattles off stump. Good length just outside off, another wild leg-side swing from the batsman and the ball goes under his bat. Breaks the top of off, and Thakur gives out a big scream 126/519.2 good length outside off, flat-batted over the bowler's head, but Raina's safe as a church at long off. Comfortable catch well inside the ropes 150/6Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL159/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Litton Das, 1.5 ov), 2-35 (Soumya Sarkar, 3.4 ov), 3-40 (Tamim Iqbal, 5.4 ov), 4-61 (Mahmudullah, 8.4 ov), 5-126 (Sabbir Rahman, 16.4 ov), 6-150 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 19.2 ov)
