India captain MS Dhoni: "We keep looking to bowl in the right areas and what this unit has done that is different than others is to keep putting it in the same area. That's something we need in Test matches as well.

"There's always scope for improvement. We may be a good side and playing good cricket but there's always areas we can improve in.

"Every team that has reached the quarter-final is a good side and you have to have the respect for your opponent."

"On a sunny but windy day in Melbourne, there is a right old party going on outside the MCG, mainly involving Bangladesh fans. On my way to the ground, I followed a red and green parade, led by one of the biggest flags I've ever seen. Imagine what they will be like if they win."

It's time for Test Match Special - you can listen to Aggers and the team today on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC Radio 4 Long Wave, and if you're in the UK, via the BBC Sport website, BBC Sport app and BBC iPlayer Radio app.

So with all we've heard, will it be as easy for India as some people are suggesting - or can Bangladesh create a bit of history?

You can join the debate by emailing tms@bbc.co.uk (with "For Mark Mitchener" in the subject line), texting 81111 if you're in the UK, tweeting us via the hashtag #bbccricket or getting involved on the BBC Sport Facebook page. (You can try the carrier pigeon route, but we can't promise it'll work).

BBC Test Match Special statistician

"The teams batting first at the MCG in this World Cup have all scored over 300: Australia 342-9 v England, India 307-7 v South Africa, Sri Lanka 332-1 v Bangladesh.

"The match will be Bangladesh's 300th ODI. They are the 10th team to play that many. It is also their first World Cup knockout game."

India: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Akinjkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (capt, wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav.

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed.

There's still some English interest in the tournament - sadly it's only in terms of the umpires. Former Middlesex and Sussex wicketkeeper Ian Gould is joined on the field today by Pakistan's Aleem Dar, with Aussie Steve Davis on TV replays.

India have been flawless so far as they look to retain the World Cup title they won in 2011. Played six, won six.

But Bangladesh have already stunned England in this year's World Cup - can they produce an even bigger shock and knock out their neighbours?

While some may dream of a parallel universe where England made the last eight ahead of Bangladesh, and the Barmy Army are making themselves at home at the MCG, we can be sure it'll be a colourful occasion, as evidenced by these pictures from Test Match Special. They'll be on air shortly at 03:15 GMT.

India have won the toss and will bat first.

They're unchanged, captain MS Dhoni is particularly pleased they've been able to keep everyone fit.

Bangladesh captain and pace bowler Mashrafe Mortaza is fit to take his place in the team, after missing their last group game - he replaces spinner Taijul Islam.

Bangladesh go into this as underdogs, with just one win from their last 13 ODIs against the world champions.

However, the Tigers have won eight of their last 10 ODIs, the only defeats coming against Sri Lanka and New Zealand during this World Cup.

Morning, everyone. Eight teams have become seven, and the World Cup juggernaut has lumbered into Melbourne where India and Bangladesh will lock horns in the second quarter-final.

It's been a World Cup peppered with surprises - and with yesterday's supposedly "too close to call" game being a walk in the park for South Africa as they knocked out Sri Lanka, will this be a nail-biter rather than the Indian stroll which the statistics suggest it might be?
