  1. Ind 75-1

    Three singles from the first half of Tanzim's over, three dots from the back half.

    No boundaries since the ninth over.

    Bangladesh don't have all day to bowl and wear down the batters. They need to take wickets, that's the only way they are going to win.

    They need to try different things and maybe hope for a bit of luck along the way. It's difficult as a bowler when you have such a big task ahead of you.

  3. Ind 72-1

    A first sight of spin from Bangladesh as Mehidy takes the ball.

    Gill takes a second-ball run, and Kohli faces three more dots before scoring off his 10th delivery, pushing a single to long-on.

  4. Ind 70-1

    Shubman Gill takes a first ball single off Tanzim, before Virat Kohli faces five balls without scoring.

  5. Ind 69-1

    Some guy called Virat Kohli in at three for India - ever heard of him?

    He fends away the final ball of the over, and that's the end of the powerplay.

    It's a wicket but not before a lot of damage has been done. He gave Rishad Hossain ages to get under the ball.

    India can keep batting down this order but Bangladesh have made their first impact.

    WICKET

    Rohit c Rishad b Taskin 41 (Ind 69-1)

    Rohit falls to a skier!

    He'd already top-edged one high behind the keeper earlier in the over, seeing it land safely, but he's not so lucky with round two, ballooning the ball into the covers where Rishad Hossain has time to get under it and take the catch.

    Taskin gets the first wicket, having changed ends.

    The wheels are falling off this Bangladesh bowling side now. India are clicking through the gears and look like they are not hanging around with this total.

  9. Ind 65-0

    Four more - powered over cover by Gill, before a dot ball closes the over.

    Gill moves to 26 from 23, Rohit's on 37 from 31.

  10. 6 runs

    Ind 60-0

    Oh, that's very big indeed.

    A first bowling change for Bangladesh as Tanzim Hasan Sakib enters the attack and Gill launches his fourth ball deep into the stands at mid-wicket.

    You cannot offer Rohit Sharma any width once he gets into his stride. Fiz and Taskin are not reacting to the match situation at the moment.

    It's looking ominous for Bangladesh.

  12. Ind 51-0

    Bang!

    A touch of width from Mustafizur and Rohit powers him through point for four.

    He also finds the ropes in the same area from the final ball of the over - a cuter shot, beating the despairing attempts to stop the ball from three Bangladesh fielders.

    That's 50 up for India.

    Taskin is still struggling to find rhythm and has been put away in all the right places. I wonder how soon Bangladesh will bring on a spinner, it was the eighth over where we saw it in their innings?

  14. Ind 41-0

    Hmm, Bangladesh might need Paul Atreides to rein in this India worm.

    Gill hits Taskin for four immediately, firing the ball through mid-wicket.

    India reach 41 without losing a wicket - Bangladesh were 35-5 (and had Rohit held onto his catch it would have been for six).

  15. India's worm has already taken over Bangladesh's - will it ever be reined back in in this match now?

    Rohit 'heaves it' down the ground for a four

    The power and conviction from Sharma means he can make the most of any width given to him. He has looked cool and calm but he shows aggression when he needs to.

  17. Ind 35-0

    Rohit Sharma is taking it up a gear.

    He hits for Mustafizur for consecutive fours, flat-batting over the off side ring then hitting cleanly over mid-off, before adding another boundary later in the over, swiping the ball away behind square.

  18. How's stat?!

    SharmaGetty Images

    India captain Rohit Sharma averages 106 in ODIs in the United Arab Emirates from six matches. His most memorable knock here is the 111 not out he plundered against Pakistan in 2018.

    There hasn't been as much dew as expected because it has been colder than usual in Dubai. Today has been a little bit hotter so there's a bit more dew in the air for the Bangladesh bowlers to deal with.

  20. Ind 23-0

    Just a single from the next over as Rohit takes a single to square leg off Taskin.

    Some good fielding on the dive from Soumya Sarkar at mid-on stops a Gill drive heading to the boundary.
