Bangladesh end on a healthy 279 in their innings, the bedrock of which was a composed century by captain Mushfiqur Rahim and a half-century from Anamul. The two added 133 for the third wicket after a slow start to their innings. The innings made smooth progress until the two launched into Varun Aaron in the Powerplay. Mohammad Shami was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets.

Anamul says that in absence of Tamim and Shakib, they had to take responsibility and it's a defendable target. The pitch, he says, is good to bat and chasing will not be easy.

milind: "I think India did well in the death overs. With the way Bangladesh was batting especially Mushi, India was staring at a total of close to 300 runs. Pretty impressive death over bowling from India after long long time with more yorkers bowled in the match than they bowled in the entire year!"

Rj: "Take out Aaron, I think considering their recent bowling performance, India have bowled extremely well under the circumstances. No 300+ for a change???" Will be back shortly for India's innings

Simon: "I think Indian fans need to stop patting themselves on the back with this bowling performance. Yes it's under 300, but it's against Bangladesh without two of their best batsmen. I'd expect them to chase it comfortably though."

Jalan: "Agree with Simon. However, even the BD batsmen are not the same anymore. They play worldclass cricket."

Mohammed Shami to Sohag Gazi, 1 leg bye, he looks to ramp it up over the keeper's head, gets hit on the pads, and the ball lobs to the keeper. DK takes an aim at the stumps, but no one is backing up, so they take an extra

Mohammed Shami to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, Mushy's fine innings comes to an end! He slaps a high full toss straight to deep midwicket, but the umpire wants to check it for a) front-fott, and b) the height. First one is fine, and second one should be fine too as Mushy had charged way down the pitch. It looks like it was waist high when he made contact, but the ball had another two meters to go to the stumps. That's it, the umpires think it was fine. A wonderful innings from Mushy comes to an end. The Indian fielders pat him on the back..

Mohammed Shami to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, how did he find that gap! Wonderful batting. Nothing wrong with the delivery - it was a full one on the middle stump. But Mushy takes his front leg out and whacks it along the ground to cow corner

Kumar to Sohag Gazi, 1 run, and another yorker! The batsman digs it out to cover

Sohag Gazi is in.. he can hit it big too

Mushfiqur now has the highest ODI score by a Bangladesh captain beating Ashraful's 109 against UAE in 2008

Kumar to Ziaur Rahman, OUT, Aaron takes a fine catch at cover! Zia went for the repeat of the shot he played two balls ago, but this time he plays it in the air and a touch straighter. Aaron dives to his right and hangs on to a blinder. But he is in pain as he lands awkwardly - he was holding his left leg in pain. Wondeful cameo by Zia though. Just what Bangladesh needed
