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.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Akash Deep, OUT, don't pitch it up to him! Akash Deep has smoked that down the ground but on this occasion it doesn't have the distance and a tumbling long-on gets under it

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Akash Deep, no run, a big slog sweep from Akash Deep, he misses it but there's an appeal for caught behind and Shanto has reviewed it. It stayed a bit low after pitching outside off and there's nothing on UltraEdge

Ankush Kulkarni: "@Vishal1686 In case India declared, is the light OK for the play to continue? " Right now, yes, but we have an hour left

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Rahul, OUT, Beaten by bounce as he comes down the track and KL Rahul is stumped! Mehidy smartly bowled that short and outside off after seeing Rahul dancing down. The batter tried to whack it on off but the bounce beat his bat, Litton collected that around chest height off a spinner and did well to take the bails off

Shakib Al Hasan to Akash Deep, SIX, and one more! This is brute force. The fast bowler is using his strong shoulders and muscle to pack some power into these shots. He comes down the track and slaps it with disdain to the midwicket boundary for six more
