4:28pm: An 87-run lead for India, mainly thanks to Pant and Shreyas. Their 159-run stand after joining each other at 94 for 4 made the difference between the lead that India have and a potential deficit. Taijul bowled splendidly early on, Bangladesh created a few chances even against the successful pair but missed some. Other times, the batters got lucky but did well to capitalise on it. Pant missed his hundred by nicking off while trying to open the face and steer the ball away. He has five 90 to 100 and six 100+ scores. Shreyas was trapped in front. India made 50 runs after losing their sixth. They have a healthy lead but Bangladesh can still claw their way back. They'll have to start by negotiating a tough opening spell this evening. Stay tuned to find out if they can.

Praveen: "Arun, bangla scored 72pi and Indian lead is 28pi"

Arun Rao: "India scores 100pi!!"

Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammed Siraj, OUT, Down the track, slogs and misses. Nurul dislodges the bails before Siraj could get in. The batter yells in frustration, he's very disappointed walking back. It was a length ball that spun away. Siraj danced down and wanted to slap it either straight or over extra. Was flighted generously, done by the spin too.

Taijul Islam to Yadav, OUT, Wild slog attempted, there's a thin outside edge and it's taken at slip. It pitched around off and spun away sharply. Umesh lunged down and went to swipe it across. Ball went away slowly, took the edge (looked like the bottom edge at first) and ballooned to Litton who reverse cupped it comfortably.
