Taskin: "I tried to bowl fast and into the wickets. After bowling those two balls and going to the dressing room (at the rain interruption), I thought wicket is helping so I will just do the basics."

Taskin holds the ball up and waves it to the crowd as he leads his team off the ground. What a debut he's had! The conditions were completely loaded towards seam bowling, and there was seam movement and a bit of iffy bounce right through the innings. Still, was it a 105 all out pitch? You can't say India batted particularly well. Lots of batsmen planting their front feet halfway forward, right in front of the stumps, and playing across the line. You don't do that when it's moving around so much, and there were five lbws in all.

Anyway, Bangladesh's target won't necessarily be 106, since the rain interruption happened after India had begun their innings. Watch this space.

Shakib Al Hasan to Yadav, OUT, that's it! He slogs across the line, and gets a thick outside edge that ricochets off Mushfiq's thigh behind the wicket and loops into the hands of first slip
