    40.6 looks a close stumping appeal. Liton has played this on line - because it is wide, he expects it to turn in. Goes for the flick. But this is a googly. He has his back toe on the line...and not behind it. Liton's gone by the smallest of margins. Margins brought about by the bowler's clever set up and Dhoni's quick hands. It needed something that good to get this man today. He has singlehandedly kept Bangladesh in this final after singhlehandedly making India feel the pressure for most of this innings. A sublime maiden century. 188/6
    20.5 finds cover point! Mehidy goes a long way into the leg side and deep into the crease. He wants to crash this through the covers, but Jadhav has made him wait and wait and his hurried flap at this won't go further than Rayudu 120/1
    23.5 given lbw! Kayes reviews. That's a top ball from Chahal, but has that struck outside off? It's ripped past the inside edge and hit him on the back thigh as he's pushed forward. Looks good but this will come down to impact. No bat on it...impact is umpire's call. That's hitting the stumps. Kayes is gone. That was very close. Length ball dipped nicely outside off and he was playing outside the line 128/2
    26.5 finds deep midwicket! Oh that's a poor shot from Mushfiqur. Half-tracker outside off. He's hit a similar ball through cover for a four last time round. This time he tries to clear the boundary on the leg side. That's a big boundary on that side and he has been caught some 10 yards in. The pull was on, but with Jadhav's slowness and lack of bounce, going aerial was ill-advised 137/3
    27.6 run-out at the non-striker's end! This is chaos! Liton has belted a lovely drive that would have pierced the off-side ring if the fielder at extra cover wasn't Jadeja. He has gone flying to his left, despite a seemingly bad bounce that was making the ball rise, and collected cleanly. In the meantime, Liton has been ball-watching as Mithun has taken off. Jadeja is quickly back up, shapes to throw at the striker's end, but maintains his composure and stops. Finds the non-striker's end is the way to go and sends in a throw on the bounce. Stunning, stunning work. it's what you expect of him. But where was the calling from Liton? 139/4
    32.2 full just outside off, and he slogs across the line. Not hit off the bat's middle, and Bumrah does really well to run to his right from cow corner and then slide across the grass to take a double-handed catch. Not the prettiest of catches, but he did well to compose himself after putting in the yards. Bangladesh at 151 for 5 151/5
    48.1 run-out decision sent upstairs. Sarkar was curiously unenthusiastic about the second run...and he's caught short by a sensational throw from Rayudu at long-on. He'd stepped out to this short ball and chipped it towards long-on. The second run was there but he wasn't confident about it if you go by how they completed the first. Rayudu fires it flat to the striker's end and Dhoni is there to catch him about an inch short. 222/9
    42.5 googly again and we won't need replays for this done. Mashrafe has stepped out at a short of a length ball and is moving into the leg side with his attempted slog. It spins past the outside edge and he's a long way out 196/7
    46.4 lbw turned down but he's run down the pitch and in the meantime, Manish Pandey has picked up at point and run to the stumps to dislodge the bails. It's a yorker that's probably struck him outside leg. But he's a bit frenzied by it all and does not wait to see what his partner thinks of this. Pandey leaves him no chance and there won't be zooms required for this one either 213/8

    16.4 picks out deep square. Bangladesh are buzzing. Rohit Sharma has handed his wicket off a short ball. Short ball at the hips, goes aerial with the pull. There's at least 30 yards between deep square and fine leg but he doesn't find that gap. Nazmul runs to his right and takes a good catch. Game. On. 83/3
    4.4 soft dismissal! And Nazmul does the naagin dance! Full outside off, and spinning away from Dhawan. Tries to drive this over mid off, but toe-ends it straight to Soumya Sarkar. There's the first wicket 35/1
    7.3 edged! Length ball outside off, and moving away after hitting the deck. Rayudu tries to drive for the ball that comes in, but this does enough to beat his bat and also take a feather-touch off it! A more sedate celebration from the experienced Mashrafe 46/2
    30.4 he's missed a full toss! Bang in front of middle stump. Mahmudullah has broken the partnership inadvertently. Nothing extraordinary about this ball other than the fact that the batsman has missed it. He was looking to flick from middle stump and just...couldn't. 137/4
    36.1 he's got him! MS Dhoni has stabbed away from the body as this slants across him and it's a simple catch for Mushfiqur. Every Indian in the stadium is stunned. A loud burst from the Bangladesh fans. This is a massive moment. 160/5

    47.2 tickled! But the umpire doesn't raise his finger. Bangladesh are reviewing. It was a length ball angling across Jadeja. He tried to drive away from his body, and there was a faint noise as the ball went past him. UltraEdge says 'out' and Bangladesh get a last-gasp hope 212/6
    48.1 taken by the keeper! Angling away from Bhuvi and he looks to drive away from his body. The keeper dives to his right and takes an excellent diving catch! Twist in the tail? 214/7
