- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 nicked off? KL Rahul is convinced. Axar isn't sure, and there's a longish delay before Paul Reiffel nods his head and puts his finger up! Tanzid is now trying to review, seemingly, but has run out of time. Replays show that is just as well, because it is a clear edge. Angled across him. Tanzid looks to punch through the off side, but is deceived by the lack of turn and gets an edge low on the bat through to Rahul, who takes a sharp chance 35/40.6 done on the inside edge, Shami strikes in his first over! Upright seam from Shami, shaping the ball in with a bit of nip off the seam too. Soumya plays a booming drive, looking to crash him over wide mid-off, but can only manage an inside edge through to KL Rahul. Simple catch. Low-key celebrations. Given out on-field and no interest in a review. 1/11.4 spooned to Kohli at short cover! Disastrous start for Bangladesh. A wide outswinger from Harshit, in the slot, and Shanto's eyes light up at the width. But his timing is all wrong with the cover drive, and he's reaching for the ball. Flies straight to Kohli, who takes a sharpish chance just above his head 2/26.2 slashed hard to slip! Sharp catch, well held by Shubman Gill. Fullish outswinger at 85mph/136kph. A bit of width, so Mehidy goes hard at it, but it flies off his outside edge. Good reactions from Gill, who takes this just around his right shoulder and has to jump to get there. Bangladesh are in all sorts 26/349.4 shuffles across his stumps, and swings this slower ball leg-side. But more elevation than distance, and Shami gets around from short fine leg to take a good catch. India need 229 to get their Champions Trophy campaign off to a winning start. 228/108.3 two in two! The crisis deepens! Wide on the crease, a little more flight from Axar. Draws Mushfiqur forwards, and this turns to take the shoulder of the bat as he looks to defend. Another sharp catch for KL Rahul, and India are jubilant. Not sharp spin by any means, but enough to deceive Mushfiqur 35/542.4 200 ODI wickets for Shami! Offcutter, hung wide outside off stump. Jaker looks to drag it away leg-side but has to reach for it, and doesn't get enough of it. Hangs in the air for some time, and Kohli comes in from long-on to settle under a straightforward catch. India finally break the partnership which started over two hours ago. 189/645.3 guided straight to short third! Hardik hardly had to move. Back of a length, Rishad bent his knees and looked to dab an upper-cut away behind square. A couple of feet either side of Hardik and it was four, but he couldn't have picked him out much better 214/746.2 dragged on! Back of a length, wide outside off. Tanzim tries to reach it but can only deflect it onto his own stumps via the bottom edge. Shami hardly celebrates, just a high-five on his way back to the top of his mark 215/848.4 in the slot, but swiped straight to deep midwicket! Shami has five-for. Taskin was deep in his crease, looking for the pick-up shot over the shorter leg-side boundary against this offcutter. But Shreyas was stationed at cow corner and hardly had to move. Straight down his throat. Shami beams in celebration 228/9Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL228 all out (49.4 Overs, RR: 4.59)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Soumya Sarkar, 0.6 ov), 2-2 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 1.4 ov), 3-26 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 6.2 ov), 4-35 (Tanzid Hasan, 8.2 ov), 5-35 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 8.3 ov), 6-189 (Jaker Ali, 42.4 ov), 7-214 (Rishad Hossain, 45.3 ov), 8-215 (Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 46.2 ov), 9-228 (Taskin Ahmed, 48.4 ov), 10-228 (Towhid Hridoy, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.5 straight up and its caught by cover point. WIth this being the last over before the powerplay, Rohit makes another move but his charging out and more to the point moving leg side might have actually taking him too far away from the ball to connect with the ball like he wants to. 69/122.4 sliced straight to backward point! Kohli falls to another leggie. Playing from deep in the crease to a fullish ball, which wasn't quite wide enough for this wristy late cut. Simple chance for Soumya, in relatively tight, who hardly has to move. Bangladesh get their second 112/227.4 flubbed to mid-off! The Fizz strikes. Another opening for Bangladesh. Offcutter, in the slot. Shreyas looks to belt him back over his head with mid-off up, but toe-ends it. Loops up tamely and Shanto takes a reasonably straightforward catch, running back from the edge of the ring. 133/330.1 he does, but can only sky this straight up, and Rishad settles underneath it! Rishad gets his second, Bangladesh are brawling! Full and flat. Axar looks to slog-sweep him over midwicket but is late on the shot. Plenty of elevation but hardly any distance, and Rishad steadies himself to take a simple high catch after running around towards mid-on. 144/4Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL231/4 (46.3 Overs, RR: 4.96)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Rohit Sharma, 9.5 ov), 2-112 (Virat Kohli, 22.4 ov), 3-133 (Shreyas Iyer, 27.4 ov), 4-144 (Axar Patel, 30.1 ov)
