    Stuart from Sydney: So now that the coin toss has removed even the faintest hope Bangladesh had of causing an upset, I'd like to know the following: India are currently on 100% win ratio this World Cup, how many of those did they win the toss, how many did they bat first and what was the split between AU and NZ in those numbers? Any interesting conclusions to be drawn, other than perhaps MS Dhoni is rather good at 50/50 calls?

    Whether this was a deliberate plan or not, Rohit and Rahane try to force the pace against Shakib, trying to force the gaps but although they pile on the ones and twos, the boundaries have dried up completely.

    "Is that a hint of rain beginning to fall? Would Bangladesh want it to smash down for about five hours so they can chase a total around 100 in 20 overs?"

  4. Ind 89-2published at 05:14 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Rubel, dark hair blowing in the breeze, now has a wide slip posted, and he continues to put the squeeze on India with only three singles from the over. We've not had a four since the ninth over, albeit Rohit did smash that six in the 15th.

    And a pleasing stat if you're a Bangladesh follower - India apparently lose 67% of matches when Kohli scores under 15.

    "Rubel has bowled quick, got the Indian batsman jumping around and make it uncomfortable for the batsmen. The Indians are getting stuck here. At the start it looked like they were going to get 350 to 400."

  7. Ind 86-2published at 05:09 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    It's not long past 4pm local time in Melbourne, but Aggers on TMS thinks they'll have to fire up the floodlights soon as the light is fading, just as India's bright start has dimmed somewhat. Shakib, bowling left-arm spin with that low arm of his, just yields two singles.

  10. Ind 84-2published at 05:06 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Umpire Ian Gould shows he's lost none of his old wicketkeeping skills by catching a plastic bag blowing across the MCG as Rubel begins his fifth over, still with two slips in. Rahane and Rohit fend off a couple of singles, then Rahane nearly chops one onto his stumps as the bowler holds his head in frustration, but a single to mid-wicket allows him to keep the strike. Rubel has a very creditable 1-11 from five overs.

    "The Dhawan wicket took the noise up in three stages. A cheer when the bails were whipped off, louder when the replay was shown, a deafening roar when the decision came. 'Bang-la-desh,' is the chant, accompanied by the bang of drums. As Kohli walked out to bat, the India fans responded with 'Indyyyaaaa, Ind-ya!"

    Rohit Sharma, who's lost two partners since his score reached 40, pushes Shakib for a gentle single to move to 41. Rahane is off the mark, but suddenly it feels as if we're in a different game with Rubel and Shakib putting the squeeze on India.

    On Twitter:, external Rubel Hossain is a hustler. Love his attitude and pace. Bit of a change from the surfeit of left-arm Bangladeshi tweakers.

  14. Ind 79-2 (Rubel 4-0-8-1)published at 04:58 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Ajinkya Rahane is the new batsman, having a bit of a stretch at the crease before he takes guard. Bangladesh have two slips in, and seven men in the circle plus fine leg and third man back on the rope. Rahane shoulders arms to his first ball - a wide was the only blemish on what would otherwise have been a wicket maiden.

    "It was wide outside the off-stump. Virat Kohli was looking for that drive and it has been an area where he has struggled in the past. Rubel Hossain with the extra pace and that's a big wicket for Bangladesh. Good tactics from Rubel who had bowled a couple of short balls earlier in the over to push Kohli back. Rubel has made the game have a completely different tempo."

  16. WICKETpublished at 04:55 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Gone! After a probing, pacey over, Rubel finds the edge, Kohli obligingly nicks it to the keeper who dives to his right, and the Bangladesh fans go wild. Big wicket.

  17. Will Kohli hammer the Tigers again?published at 04:54 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    India batsman Virat Kohli has hit three centuries in the six ODIs he has played against Bangladesh.

    He averages 126 against the Tigers, and hit an 82-ball century against them in the 2011 World Cup.

    The bad news for Bangladesh is that the wicket brings in Virat Kohli, who has an excellent record against them, as I'll explain shortly. He's up and running straight away, helping himself to a two and a single.

    "A critical wicket at this stage for Bangladesh. They had held back the left arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan for a long time. But it was smart work from behind the stumps by Mushfiqur.

    "It was good bowling from Shakib. He is a canny customer. He does not spin it much but it was angled straight into Dhawan."
