    "There's noticeably fewer Bangladesh flags being waved inside the MCG, while the India supporters seem relaxed. Surely it's not game over already?"

  2. Ban 63-2 (Sarkar 11*, Mahmudullah 18*)published at 09:19 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Sarkar misses with an attempted pull shot at Mohit, before practising the shot again as the ball is thrown back to the bowler. At this stage, 303 looks a long way away for the Tigers, but you can expect they'll be looking at where they want to be at 15, 20, 25, 30 overs, and then reassess... Sarkar can't connect with a couple of bouncers, but then chips a single over extra cover

    "Bangladesh have to take their time, do it bit by bit, build a partnership and then make a late charge. Seven an over is attainable, it's just if it gets to nine an over needed then it becomes very difficult."

  4. Ban 61-2 (target 303)published at 09:15 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mahmudullah deftly sweeps Raina and they hustle back for a well-run two. More application like that will serve Bangladesh very well. In fact, they're able to milk the part-timer for ones and twos to give them seven off the over. That'll do nicely.

  5. Ban 54-2 (Sarkar 9*, Mahmudullah 11*)published at 09:12 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mohit Sharma's had a change of ends, Sarkar slashes a single towards third man as three fielders converge. Mahmudullah's a long way from a third successive World Cup century, but this will do - whacking a four over mid-on to bring up the fifty for Bangladesh. A less glamorous smear brings him a single as he moves to 10 from 18 balls. Another couple of singles mean Mohit has 0-26 from four overs. Bangladesh need 249 from 37 overs at a required rate of 6.72.

    Surrey and England bowler Chris Tremlett:, external Trott's return will hopefully be a positive one for England. Will be great to see him back in an England shirt.

  7. Ban 46-2 (target 303)published at 09:06 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    It's off-spin from both ends as Suresh Raina, more of a part-time spinner but a very effective one in limited-overs cricket, comes on for a twirl. And it's a maiden over as Mahmudullah can't get him away - with Ravindra Jadeja particularly lively in the field.

    Tom Oxley: I worry for the promising careers of Root, Lyth & Ballance with ECB management offering no control or composure. Fidgety times.

    While Aggers on TMS instructs new Leicestershire coach Andrew McDonald on how much thermal underwear he needs to pack for Grace Road, it's off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin into the attack - there's a slip and a leg slip posted, as well as long-on and long-off pushed back. Varying his pace well, he's quickly through his over but Sarkar and Mahmudullah take a single apiece.

  11. Ban 44-2 (Sarkar 6*, Mahmudullah 4*)published at 09:00 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Left-hander Sarkar leans back and ramps a bouncer over the keeper's head for four, but footwork has not been Bangladesh's strength so far in this innings, they are rather flinging the bat at things. Mohit goes round the wicket, and Sarkar angles a single to third man as the fielding restrictions end.

    "Bangladesh have been left with a substantial mountain to climb."

  14. Ban 39-2 (target 303)published at 08:56 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    It's been a pretty epic game already - with the first innings, punctuated by a rain break, lasting more than four hours, and if this goes the distance, it really will have been a long haul. Sarkar is off the mark with a single off the seventh ball he's faced, while Mahmudullah swings and misses - Bangladesh are still throwing the bat, but have found it difficult going against Yadav, who has figures of 5-1-9-1.

    "You have to keep scoring each over, even if you lose a couple of wickets. As soon as you get behind the run rate you get nervous."

  16. Ban 38-2 (Sarkar 0*, Mahmudullah 4*)published at 08:52 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Mahmudullah plays himself in cautiously against Mohit Sharma, no risky singles for a few overs, guys... Mohit gets one to seam away and whistle past the right-hander's forward prod. Superb delivery. Another away-swinger is sliced over backward point for four, which is energetically signalled by the Bangladesh fans within the cavernous MCG.

    Jay: That run-out was the very definition of brain fade.

  18. Ban 33-2 (target 303)published at 08:47 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2015

    Kayes is replaced by Mahmudullah, Bangladesh's heroic centurion against England who then repeated the feat against New Zealand. It's the old "add two wickets to the score" scenario, just when Bangladesh had made a bright start.

    "It is what you get taught as a kid. He watched the ball, it was an easy run, but he then turned his back on the non-striker. Shocking running and how the game has just turned. It was a good dive, but he was still a couple of metres out. It was schoolboy stuff."
