    "Raina brings an energy to the crease and an intensity. He gets the other end going as well, he has so many boundary options. You have to be spot on as a bowler."

    Shakib keeps India under wraps after that six, but Rohit helps the last ball of the over down the leg side for four. Could be a furious powerplay, this, as India are rather behind where they'd hoped to have been at this stage.

    "That six has gone right off the bottom of the bat, nowhere near the middle."

  4. Six - Ind 170-3published at 06:20 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan on to bowl in the powerplay - and Raina takes him on straight away, launching a six over long-on to the cheers of hordes of the Indian fans inside the MCG.

  5. Ind 164-3published at 06:16 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Raina, who took a century off Zimbabwe in India's last game, adds a single to move to 22 from 30 balls.

    Coming up at the interval between innings on TMS, Aggers and the team will try to make sense of what's been happening in England circles over the last 24 hours. A new Test squad announced, Alastair Cook (uncharacteristically) publicly unhappy about being dropped as ODI skipper, and seemingly mixed messages from national selector James Whitaker (who says Kevin Pietersen's not part of England's plans) and incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves (ready to meet KP for talks, external according to the Guardian). A mess, in other words.

    "Tamim got a rocket from his captain Mortaza and was then saying to his friends 'what did I do wrong?' That's not the sort of thing that Bangladesh need. You feel that there is an edge in this match. It's not good to see a captain losing it like that."

  7. Powerplaypublished at 06:15 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Umpire Ian Gould rotates his arm to signal the batting powerplay - and it's Mortaza to continue. He's given short shrift by Raina, who steps forward and whacks an inside-out four over cover. When the left-hander guides another four past Tamim Iqbal at backward point, Tamim gets an absolute rocket from the captain, who seems to enjoy conceding boundaries off his bowling about as much as Graeme Swann did.

    "The noise was deafening, the sort of cheer you'd expect for the winning runs in the World Cup final. Flags, drums and whistles, an outpouring of joy. The reason? Suresh Raina is given not out."

  9. Ind 155-3 (Rohit 77*, Raina 13*)published at 06:11 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Raina pushes Nasir for a single wide of mid-on and makes it clear he's got no interest in a second run, even though Rohit had turned and was a third of the way down the pitch looking for a second. Just a couple more from the over. And with 35 overs up, it's time for the powerplay. Interesting to see who Bangladesh will bowl - is it time for Rubel and Shakib again?

    "If Bangladesh keep India down to the 285-mark then it's game on and Bangladesh will believe they can win from there."

  11. Ind 152-3published at 06:08 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Bangladesh go close again, Raina nearly edges to the keeper, and when he guides a single, Rohit edges and it's not far away from Mushfiqur as the little Bangladesh keeper dives to his right, but the ball disappears for four runs. So five runs from the over, but Bangladesh will point to nearly breaking the deadlock three times.

    "It is only fractions and I don't blame Bangladesh for reviewing it. It was only by half a ball that it was not out."

  13. Not outpublished at 06:05 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Big question: did this pitch outside leg stump? If it didn't, it's quite close. The ball-tracker shows it pitching a tiny millimetre or two outside leg stump... but Raina survives.

    Raina is hit on the pad, the Tigers yell an lbw appeal, the umpire shakes his head but Mortaza wants a review straight away...

    Good morning if you're just waking up in the UK and your alarm went off at 6am - you've missed an interesting passage of play in Melbourne, where India started well but Bangladesh are very much back in this game.

    There's a distinct Leicestershire feeling on TMS as former Foxes pace bowler Aggers returns to join ex-Australia all-rounder Andrew McDonald, who's taking over as coach at Grace Road this summer. Off-spinner Nasir yields four singles.

    Prayags: An England-esque display by India. They are making Tigers look dangerous.

    Foyez: I have been saying from the start that I reckon Bangladesh could do it. India haven't lost in their last 10 World Cup games, bound to lose one.

  17. Ind 143-3published at 05:59 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Sloppy from Bangladesh, what should have been a straightforward single to mid-wicket turns into three as wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim, and no fewer than two men backing him up, fail to collect a throw.

    Raina rotates the stroke with a leg bye, and then Rohit has India's fans cheering again as he bunts the ball into a gap at mid-wicket in time for them to scamper two - the ball doesn't even reach the edge of the fielding circle. A single takes him to 70 from 85 balls.

  19. Ind 136-3published at 05:56 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    The floodlights are on - and if you didn't hear earlier, the forecast is for an 80% chance of rain between 06:00-07:00 GMT. Bangladesh's over-rate isn't great, either. Captain Mashrafe Mortaza recalls himself to the attack - but like the first ball of the innings he bowled, his first delivery is too wide, and Rohit punishes it with a four through point just as he did first up.

    "Bangladesh have always been relatively competitive in the one-day game. When you are in the development stage of being a cricketing nation, you can compete more in one-day cricket than in Test matches, when the best team normally wins. But they are testing India here and have executed their plans well today."
