    KL Rahul is one of the most underrated batsmen in the world. He is one of the most complete batsmen going. He scores runs batting from 1 all the way to 6 in all formats, all parts of the world. He plays spin as well as pace well, and in addition to all that, he is a serviceable keeper.

  2. Ind 201-4

    Bangladesh are not getting any breaks.

    KL Rahul punches Tanzim Hasan Sakib to mid-off and sets off for a risky single. The throw at the stumps at the non-striker's end misses by a whisker, and the TV replays show Rahul would have been short of his ground.

    India pass the 200-mark and need 28 runs from 42 balls to wrap up a fairly routine win here.

    KL Rahul's talent is undeniable. He can be so destructive but he gets a lot of criticism from India fans. It comes from the fact that sometimes he starts series extremely well and then doesn't finish on the same level.

    India are heading towards a professional win. Bangladesh never looked like a team who thought they could squeeze a win out of this game. Their body language has suggested they are just going through the motions.

  5. Ind 198-4

    Here's that drop from Jaker Ali which let KL Rahul off the hook a little while ago.

    The Bangladesh fans in the crowd have glum expressions on their faces as another Mustafizur Rahman over is calmly seen off by Shubman Gill and KL Rahul.

    Shubman Gill enjoyed that boundary.

    When you get to this part of the game, you struggle to find positives for Bangladesh but Hossain's bowling has certainly been one of them. He's a future star for Bangladesh.

  7. Ind 195-3

    Ruthless batting from Shubman Gill, who is offered a rare gift from Rishad Hossain, as he brutally pulls a half-tracker through mid-wicket.

    Can India finish this chase with a flourish?

  8. Nikesh Rughani
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Shubman Gill will be vying for a potential three-figure score here.

  9. Ind 189-4

    Target 229

    That six has got some of the India fans on their feet at the Dubai International Stadium.

    Shubman Gill adds two singles to his score off Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The India batter is 80 not out off 108 balls.

    Dubai doesn't have too many fresh wickets to host games. They are slow and you have to set quite defensive fields.

    This hasn't been an easy-scoring wicket today but India haven't had to take too many risks in their innings to score well.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 185-4

    A bit of air from Rishad Hossain, who tosses one up to KL Rahul, and he is punished for it.

    Rahul unceremoniously biffs the spinner down the ground for six - India's second maximum of the innings.

  12. Tymal Mills

    The Bangladesh spinners have bowled well. Miraz has only gone for 34 runs from his nine overs. It's proved effective on these Dubai pitches.

  13. Ind 175-4

    Mehidy Hasan Miraz with another tidy over as KL Rahul and Shubman Gill slowly tick the runs off. India can do it singles here, and seem quite content to do that.

  14. Tymal Mills
    England T20 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was really poor fielding. It was a short ball and wasn't the best but it was a comfortable catching height.

    Bangladesh will know that they cannot give those chances away as Rahul doesn't give them often.

  15. Ind 172-4

    Salt in the wound for Bangladesh as Taskin Ahmed offers Shubman Gill a freebie on his legs and he cashes in. Four more to the total.

  16. dropped catch

    Rahul dropped on nine

    KL Rahul is a lucky boy.

    The India batter cloths a slog to deep mid-wicket off Taskin Ahmed but Jaker Ali spills a bread-and-butter catch tumbling forward.

    Heads in hands all round for anyone of Bangladesh leaning. India skipper Rohit Sharma chuckles to himself.

  17. Ind 165-4

    Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who is donning a pair of luminous green spikes, wheels away with his off breaks after the drinks interval.

    India with four singles off the over. We've not had a boundary for 4.3 overs.

  18. Bangladesh have taken four wickets. Here they are...

  19. India 161-4 at drinks

    A brief break while the players have a drink. India need 68 runs from 90 balls.

  20. Melissa Story
    Test Match Special commentator

    India have got plenty of time to get these remaining runs and they are using it.

    Bangladesh have five fielders on the inner circle so India are trying to strike over the top to get worth for their shots. They are just ticking along with singles at the moment.
