India vs Bangladesh Live, 1st Test Match, Day1: Rishabh Pant On The Charge For 3-Down India vs Bangladesh

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)

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)

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.

IND 45/2 (18.1)

India vs Bangladesh Live: Bangladesh keep India in check

Only 15 runs have come off the last 11 overs and India also lost the wicket of Shubman Gill during that phase. This is good bowling from Bangladesh. After a poor start, their bowlers have fared well.

IND 45/1 (18)

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. It was a fuller ball on the stumps and Gill tried to play a sweep shot on it. The ball bounced and took the edge of his bat before Yasir Ali could take a dolly at leg slip.

IND 41/1 (13.2)

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

Two short balls from Ebadat Hossain and Shubman Gill punishes him with two boundaries. The first one was outside off stump in which Gill played a punch shot for a four, while the second one was a big higher on the body and Gill pulled it for another boundary.    

IND 25/0 (6.3)

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)

India vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

Easy pickings for Gill! A short ball from Ebadot Hossain outside off stump and Shubman Gill has punched it for a four in the front of point region. Early signs say that this pitch is a batting paradise, at least for now.

IND 15/0 (4.2)

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)

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.

IND 4/0 (0.4)

India vs Bangladesh Live: It’s game time!

Ebadat Hossain has the new ball in hand. KL Rahul is on strike, while Shubman Gill is at the other end. Here we go!
