8.42pm An underwhelming effort from Bangladesh. Bowled out for 127 with one ball to go. They just seemed outgunned from ball one. And with this being T20, they were forced to play lower-percentage shots. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals, and here we are.

Arshdeep Singh started and ended the damage with the returning Varun Chakravarthy taking three of his own. Mayank Yadav dazzled with a maiden to start his international career, conceding just 21 in four overs. Others kept chipping in whenever called upon. This looks like a straightforward chase. Abhimanyu Bose to tell you all about it
