India vs Bangladesh Live: Century for Zakir Hasan!

A sweep shot for a four and Zakir Hasan has raced to his hundred on Test debut. What a fine knock this has been from him.

Najmul Hossain Shanto hits fifty. This is a fine knock from the Bangladeshi opener. His team needed him to step up on this big occasion and he has done his job pretty well so far.

India vs Bangladesh Live: A tough challenge for Bangladesh!

Bangladesh might have started well in their chase of 513 runs, but the pitch is not as good as they would have liked to bat in the fourth innings. The ball stays low at times, with spinners also getting fair amount of turn. To make things further tough for the hosts, the Indian pacers are also extracting some good movement off the surface, and getting the ball swing too.

India vs Bangladesh Live: Welcome guys!

Hello everyone, welcome to Day 4 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh. Bangladesh will resume at the score of 42 for 0. They need 471 runs more to win. Stay connected for the live updates, including scores, related to the game.
