3:54pm: Many starts for Bangladesh, Mominul got 84, but only 14 runs were scored for the last five wickets. Umesh was the star for India. Mehidy and Mominul were going well after tea. But Umesh came in, nicked off Mehidy, followed it up by trapping Nurul, and skewed out Taskin. Ashwin bowled tight and was rewarded with the last two wickets to give him a four-for, alongside Umesh's. Mominul found his rhythm, scored 54 off his 84 runs in boundaries and dealt with pace and spin with assurance. Maybe he could've kept Taskin off strike rather than taking a single first ball against Umesh but he played well overall. India will be the happier side with 227 but Bangladesh have a chance to make inroads late in the day.

Sajid: "Didn't like that single on the first ball! Mominul should start shielding the bowler from right now or it might be too late!"
