9:48pm Right. That brings us to the end of our coverage for today. Hope you had as much fun as we had bringing all the action over to you. Action in the World Cup does not stop, though, with Australia taking on Pakistan tomorrow in what could be a very vital clash for both sides. Until then, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Shashank, Thilak and Venkat Raghav. Goodbye, take care!

Rohit Sharma, India captain: It was a good win. Something that we were looking forward to. We did not start well but we pulled it back well in the middle stages and at the back end as well. (On the bowling and the fielding) The last three games we have played, our fielding has been superb. We continued that today. It is something that is in your control. You try and put in as much effort as you can. Bowlers were smart enough to understand what sort of lines and lengths were needed. (On Jadeja) He was brilliant with the ball and took a brilliant catch. But a hundred is a hundred - you cannot beat that. (On the fielding medals players receive after each game) We have something going on in the group. Lifts everyone up. Guys who end up with the most medals, there is something special for them. (On Pandya) He pulled up a bit sore. There is no major damage, that is good for us. But obviously with an injury like that, we have to assess every day and we will do whatever is required. (Game against NZ) Every game is a big game. (On the support) All of us in the squad have gone through such pressure - crowds coming in big numbers. It is special for us. The crowd has not disappointed us and I am pretty sure it is going to get bigger and louder moving forward.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh captain: India are always a very good side. they are capable of playing this way and they showed us today that they can play better cricket (than us). All teams (New Zealand, England and India) are very good. What I feel is we did not play our best game. Hopefully we can do that in the future. (On Shakib's injury) He is recovering well. I am hoping he can be fit for the next match. Tanzid batted really well and all the fast bowlers bowled pretty well. But we did not finish well (with the bat). If Tanzid and Litton batted longer, could have been a different ballgame. Hopefully in the next game, our batters can take responsibility.

Virat Kohli, Player of the Match: Sorry for stealing it (the player of the Match award) from Jaddu. I wanted to make a big contribution. Have made fifties in World Cups, wanted to finish it off this time. (Free hits to start off) I was telling Shubman that even if you dream about this situation, you go back to sleep. It was a dream start. It just calms you down. The pitch was good, allowed me to play my game - hit the gaps and find the boundaries whenever I could. Great atmosphere in the dressing room. The spirit is there for everyone to see. You need to create some momentum in the changing room to come out and play like this. Special feeling to play in front of such crowds.

9:23pm A truly dominant run-chase, much like it was against Afghanistan, Pakistan and for large parts, against Australia. Rohit got the ball rolling early, taking down the Bangladesh bowlers and signalling his and India's intention to dominate. Gill then grew into his innings and got the half-century his captain missed out on. Kohli was greeted by a flurry of No balls and Free hits, and once that sequence transpired, he did not look back, scoring yet another hundred in a run-chase. Rahul did his bit too, and remained unbeaten.

Not much to write home about for Bangladesh. Their new-ball bowlers disappeared all around the park, and by the time their spinners came in, India had generated a massive head of steam. In the end, it came down to the runs they left out there, and that is what they will be concerned about moving forward. Their next game sees them travel to Mumbai, and if this year's IPL is anything to go by, Bangladesh will need to get their batting act together soon.

Nasum Ahmed to Kohli, SIX, clears the fence! India get the win! Kohli gets the hundred he was after, and India go level on points with New Zealand! Low full toss at the stumps. Kohli takes a step down the track to generate momentum and whips it over deep mid wicket. Another clinical run-chase and it has been sealed, signed and delivered with a six!

Nasum Ahmed to Kohli, no run, length delivery at the stumps. Kohli comes down the track and pushes it down to long on

Nasum Ahmed to Kohli, no run, fired down the leg side. Kohli lets it go and the umpire does not call it a wide. Strange. Was it because Kohli moved inside a little?
