Stumps :-

Shikhar Dhawan got to 150 off the

last ball of the day before bad light

forced an early end. India have

had a perfect day without losing a

wicket throughout. Dhawan's

comeback has been a memorable

one. Bangladesh's bowling has

been woeful on a pitch that is

dead on day one.

Only a rain break gave the

hosts some respite in an

otherwise forgettable outing.

With more rain predicted for

the next four days, Bangladesh

may well save the game but

India look very well set to post

a massive score.

Batting feast continues :-

The crowd is completely silent andthat tells you a story. Bangladeshare yet to pick a wicket in the day.Both Dhawan and Vijay are nowlooking to consolidate but theformer is still scoring boundaries atwill. The partnership is over 200 nowand Bangladesh have not comeclose to picking a wicket for a longtime.

Record partnership :-

184 is the highest opening stand for

India against Bangladesh. That has

been eclipsed by the Dhawan-

Vijay duo. Dhawan is batting as if it

were a 'net' session. Bangladesh

don't seem to have a plan

whatsoever. They are going

through the drills quite listlessly.

Makes for dull viewing.

We'll have go back to the toss when

Mushfiqur lost the toss and termed it

'really unlucky.' The captain seemed to

have lost hope even then and

Dhawan's assault has made things a lot

tougher. Yet another high score looms

as India get set to bat for close to two

days. This script is an old one.

Bangladesh need to provide an

inspired twist from somewhere to make

it interesting.

Hundred for Dhawan :-

Lot of nerves for Dhawan as hegot closer to his ton but hemanaged to put away a halfvolley to the square legboundary. That must come ashuge relief. Vijay got his fifty muchearlier and Bangladesh aregetting no respite.

Milestones approaching :-

Both Vijay and Dhawan havecontinued just the way they leftoff. Dhawan's into the ninetiesnow and Vijay is closer to his fifty.India are moving on quiteconfidently and Bangladesh aregetting pushed behind ratherquickly now.
