4.34pm With that, India have declared! Sorry, Siraj. you won't get to smash some sixes here. That's 285 for 9 then, India lead by 52 here, and we discount the 10 minutes for innings break, they will have about 45 minutes to bowl today. Depends on them how many overs they can manage in that. Maybe 10? Who would have thought this morning what we were going to witness what we have just witnessed? Even a ray of sunshine felt like such a blessing after yesterday's disappointment. And now, after bowling out Bangladesh, India have hammered close to 300 runs in under 35 overs at over eight an over! Rohit Sharma set the tone like a true leader, along with Jaiswal, and India's famed line-up only had to follow their footsteps. Jaiswal hit some classy strokes, Kohli and Rahul peppered some boundaries with the occasional sixes and their strategy of getting quick runs for nearly three hours has worked so far. Now they want some wickets, will that happen too?
Got to feel for the two Bangladesh quicks today - Khaled and Hasan. They were plundered for 50 runs in just three overs as India went on to break records. They only got some relief when Mehidy dismissed Rohit, and even though the runs continued, at least the spinners brought the run rate down and picked wickets too. Mehidy and Shakib take four each out of the nine.
