  1. Ban 133-5 (target 303)published at 10:30 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mushfiqur is plodding along here, helping a single to fine leg, while Yadav advances the score with a wide. Sabbir, who only made his ODI debut in November and has a top score of 53 from 10 innings, moves to 11 from 18 balls.

  2. Ban 128-5published at 10:27 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    India keep one Ashwin over up their sleeves and turn back to the pace of Umesh Yadav. Sabbir pushes a single to cover and Jadeja's lightning throw demolishes the stumps at the bowler's end, sending the flashing bails flying, but Sabbir had made his ground.

    "It is getting to that point where Bangladesh are trying to just get an honourable result and wonder 'what might've been'. Once India got to 300 it was a bridge too far for Bangladesh."

    Bangladesh have a batting powerplay on the horizon, but to be honest, Dhoni could set a powerplay field now and it would have little effect, as Bangladesh are only able to take it one single at a time.

    Mushfiqur breaks the deadlock by sweeping a four - only the second in 12 overs - but I'm not sure what their plan is here. Is it "let's bat out the 50 overs to save face"? 176 needed from 17 overs.

  6. Ban 119-5 (Mushfiqur 16*, Sabbir 6*)published at 10:21 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mushfiqur pushes a couple of quick singles, Dhoni appeals for a run-out from one of them, but the required rate is now above 10, and the defending champions - providing they don't do anything crazy - are well on course here. Five singles from the over.

    Former England bowler Alan Mullally:, external The Bangers need a bit of AB, a touch of Gilly and a drop of Viv to take this one home.

  8. Ban 114-5 (target 303)published at 10:18 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    After a couple of singles, Mushfiqur finally cuts loose, getting down on one knee to heave Jadeja over cow corner for a first-bounce four.

    "One criticism of Ashwin was that he was not really performing well overseas in one-day cricket. But not so in this World Cup. He has bowled with guile and skill."

  11. Ban 107-5published at 10:15 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Ashwin, who'd do wonders for any side's over-rate, whistles through his eighth over as Sabbir sweeps a two. He has three, Mushfiqur has taken 24 balls to score seven, and India are in the departure lounge for that flight to Sydney. But will they be back to the MCG for the final?

  12. Ban 105-5 (target 303)published at 10:13 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Sabbir Rahman - who didn't bowl, so I suppose we'd class him as a recognised batsman - is in at seven for Bangladesh. He's under way with a single.

    The winner of this game - looking increasingly likely to be India - will stay in Australia and face the winner of tomorrow's Australia v Pakistan game at Sydney on Thursday 26 March.

    "Surely it is beyond Bangladesh now as he was their last experienced batsman. A disappointed-looking Shakib leaves the ground. Something had to give. The pressure was building."

    He couldn't keep prodding around forever - Shakib tries to go after Jadeja and slices a simple catch to short third man.

  15. Ban 103-4published at 10:09 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mushfiqur turns a single past leg slip. Time for Shakib to take on Ashwin? Even when Ashwin floats one towards off stump, Shakib can't get it past a fielder. There are some glum faces in the Bangladesh dug-out as this game ebbs away from them. With 200 more needed, the required rate is now over nine.

  16. Ban 102-4 (target 303)published at 10:06 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Shakib and Mushfiqur exchange singles against Jadeja, Shakib is showing a little more urgency but keeps picking out a man fielding at short mid-wicket. Once again, we're rapidly through an over and Bangladesh are slowly sinking out of this World Cup.

  17. Ban 100-4 (Ashwin 6-1-18-0)published at 10:04 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Little to cheer about for Bangladesh's loyal fans as Ashwin enters his sixth over, but there's still a measured cheer from the flag-waving Tigers as their score moves into three figures, as Mushfiqur helps himself to a couple of twos.

  18. Ban 95-4 (Shakib 8*, Mushfiqur 1*)published at 10:02 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, he of the bushy dark beard these days, is on for his first bowl of the day. Mushfiqur is finally off the mark with a single off the 13th ball he's received - and with only four runs from the over, the required rate is spiralling ever upwards, it's now up to 8.32.

    We're at the halfway stage, with Bangladesh needing 208 from 25 overs.

  19. Ban 91-4 (target 303)published at 09:58 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    The deadlock is broken as Shakib cuts Ashwin for a single, but apart from umpire Dar - who appeared to be bitten by a wasp or bee earlier today - having a few troubles with the increasing number of seagulls swooping around the MCG, that's all that interrupts the over.
