    Now Raina escapes, shovelling one towards long-on, Shakib can't quite get there in time and the batsmen run two. 200 up. All happening at the MCG, the crowd, the buzz, the drama, the excitement...

    "The umpire has got that one wrong. It was dipping below waist-high. That was a bad call."

    Flags of both competing nations are a-flutter around the MCG, and Indian hearts are no doubt a-flutter too as Rohit moves into the nineties, then skies a full toss down the throat of mid-wicket - but it's signalled as a no-ball for height! Bangladesh are not happy with the call, umpire Dar made it at square leg.

    Rakesh Pradhan: Duckworth Lewis are warming up for some World Cup action. Let's hope they don't decide the winner.

  5. Ind 194-3published at 06:42 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    I believe the great Viv Richards once took guard at the wrong end after a rain delay in an international, but there's no danger of that here - it's Suresh Raina, with an even 38 from 38 balls, to face up to Taskin Ahmed, and he's back under way with a single. Rohit Sharma opens the face and the ball flies off the edge to third man for four. A single takes him to 88, while Raina continues his run-a-ball progress - he now has 40 from 40.

    "What were India playing at during that rain break? Bangladesh were back on the field for a long time before the batsmen decided to grace us with their presence. Umpire Ian Gould even went to look for them. 'It's our game and we'll come out when we're ready'."

  7. Play to resumepublished at 06:37 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    And we're nearly ready to resume, with Taskin Ahmed one ball into the over in progress - India's 39th, and his seventh. Oddly, given the match situation, the umpires and fielders are much quicker out and in position than the Indian batsmen, who dawdle slightly.

    Ireland all-rounder Kevin O'Brien:, external Love watching Raina bat. So classy. Feel a hundred for Raina.

    The ground staff have whipped the covers off, and it looks like we could be starting again in a minute or so - with no time or overs lost.

    "It is more difficult for the batsmen. They were in, and knew which balls to hit. The rain is timely for Bangladesh."

    The umpires are back on to have a look (accompanied by an umbrella-wielding lady who appears to be from the ICC). The first initial shower seems to have stopped, at least.

    "This is the worst ground in the world to look for rain, as the stands are so big, you can't see it coming."

    So, the news from Melbourne: Rain stops Raina.

    "The report from Port Melbourne is that the heavy stuff is right behind this."

    "There's little parties breaking out all over the MCG, usually surrounding a man with a drum (the qualification to be the drummer seems to be simply owning the drum, not having rhythm). The beat is tapped out, grown men happy to throw the sort of shapes usually only pulled out at a wedding. They haven't even had a drink."

    Skipper MS Dhoni is eating a banana in the India dug-out - he'll be aware how much of a potential banana skin Bangladesh represent in this game. Mortaza rotates his bowlers as Taskin returns, with rain in the air... and after Raina (no pun intended) works a two, it gets heavy enough for the players to walk off.

    "It is raining in the Port of Melbourne, which is about 10km away. That is Bangladesh's best hope; that it rains and is a 40-over game, before the full-blown assault from India comes in the last 10 overs."

    "India will be looking at 300 as their target and with the wickets in the shed and the wizard Dhoni to come in it is going to be difficult for Bangladesh to keep them within that target."

  20. Ind 184-3published at 06:26 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Rubel Hossain, who had a spell off the field with a foot injury earlier, is back on and firing. India are moving up through the gears but a wicket would change the game again. India help themselves to a couple of singles before Rubel slings a ropey one down the leg side and with a powerplay field in place, it's four as soon as it leaves Raina's bat. Rohit, despite being on 83, is very much playing second fiddle to Raina - who has 36 from 37 balls - at this stage of the innings. Five singles and that four mean it's nine from the over.
