India wobbled early after an underwhelming powerplay before Rahul and Kohli got going to give them momentum. Surya then came in and built on it before there was a bit of a slowdown. Kohli then cranked it up at the end like he's done in recent times to give India a total they'll be delighted with. On the other side of the break, Karthik Krishnaswamy will be back to kick off the chase.

As Kohli beats Jayawardene's record to become the most prolific batter at the T20 World Cup, here's quizmaster Sreshth Shah testing your knowledge on Kohli at the tournament. Think you want to give this a try? Do post your scores.

KL Rahul is besides the boundary for an interview. "It's been a bit of a mixed time. I came into Australia with a few good knocks back home. Batted well in the warm-ups, but the first three games didn't go my way. Was still confident, as a batter you know when you're playing well. I was doing a lot of things right, I was seeing the ball well so wasn't worried about missing out. You want to do well for the country, was excited about doing well and happy to have got a good innings under my belt."

Shoriful Islam to Kohli, 1 run, another yorker outside leg, Kohli backs away to hit inside-out but can barely squeeze it to point. One run is all they'll get as India finish strongly on 184.

Jayanth: "Reading the commentary at 18.6 took me back to 1998 and the evergreen voice of Tony Greig. Wonderful spontaneous touch from the Cricinfo team." -- Thanks, that was the idea Jayanth.

Shoriful Islam to Kohli, OUT, DK's gone, surely. Kohli hits this to the edge of the ring at extra cover, Karthik was charging down, Kohli, not too convinced about the possibility of a run, sent him back. Karthik had to put in a big dive to try and make it back, but it appears as if Shoriful has broken the stumps before the collecting the ball cleanly. But replays confirm the ball hit the stumps at the same time his hands broke the bails. Close call that goes Bangladesh's ways.
