  1. This is why that is such an important wicket for Bangladesh.

  2. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    That is a very un-Virat Kohli shot! He very uncharacteristically goes down the track, has a swipe and it hits his middle stump.

    WICKET

    Kohli b Tanzim 37 (Ind 71-2)

    Bowled 'im!

    Virat Kohli can't make the most of his promising start as he walks down the pitch towards Tanzim Hasan, and is cleaned up. Tanzim was not happy with Kohli charging him, classic fast bowler, and he gives it the big celebration.

    He's a talent.

  4. Ind 71-1

    Rishabh Pant joins the party with a wristy flick off the spinner for four.

    An expensive start for Rishad, with 15 from it.

    It's looking ominous for Bangladesh already.

  5. 6 runs

    Ind 62-1

    Dealing in sixes.

    Virat Kohli whacks Rishad Hossain down the ground.

    A good start, just what India would have wanted. They would have wanted to put a marker down, as this is a tough group with Australia and Afghanistan as well.

  7. Ind 56-1

    Another steady over from Mahedi Hasan, just three from it.

    Rishabh Pant has four from eight balls. It's only a matter of time before he does something brilliant, or something quite silly.

  8. Just the one wicket for Bangladesh so far.

    They'll be looking to apply the pressure now the powerplay is out of the way.

  9. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Bangladesh have not really fired in this tournament, and the problem with opposition like this is that it's hard to find even more.

  10. Ind 53-1

    11 runs from Mustafizur Rahman's over to conclude the powerplay, and it's a dominant one for India.

    Kohli has 27 from 18 balls and looks to have finally found some form.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 52-1

    Hello!

    In the slot, and smoked over mid-wicket for six by Kohli, followed by his trademark swagger.

    India are on the way to a very decent powerplay if they keep this rate up.

  13. Ind 42-1

    Mahedi Hasan whizzes through his second over, with only three coming from it.

    Great effort to keep Rishabh Pant quiet - for now. I'm sure a big shot isn't far away.

  14. Virat Kohli has been struggling for form but he's started pretty nicely here.

  15. Ind 39-1

    Cracking response from Shakib after the first ball of the over went for six.

    Rishabh Pant dances down the pitch to his second ball but Shakib is an experienced campaigner, he's seen all this before. He fires it in fast and flat at the batter's toes so he can only jab it into the ground.

    Rohit danced out of the crease before the ball had left Shakib's hand, and Shakib wins the battle of the two experienced campaigners.

    WICKET

    Rohit c Ali b Shakib 23 (Ind 39-1)

    Shakib strikes back!

    Rohit Sharma had guided the previous ball for four with a deft touch, and tries to keep the acceleration going. It's a big slog, the ball soars into the air and Jaker Ali takes a well-judged catch at cover, one of those tricky ones that swirl as you wait an age underneath it.

    But Rohit's 23 from 11 balls has given India a rapid start.

  18. 6 runs

    Ind 35-0

    Spinners, beware.

    Rohit Sharma whacks Shakib Al Hasan for a 97-metre six straight down the ground.

    Not much to enjoy if you are a Bangladesh fan so far. India have pretty much dominated the three overs.

  20. Ind 29-0

    First look at pace, as here is Tanzim Hasan.

    He's going full, straight and fast, searching for wickets. But that aggression costs him as he strays in line and Virat Kohli whips it off his pads for an effortless four.

    But still only six from the over, and that's a decent effort in the powerplay and when he's bowling to batters of such class.
