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.

4. 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.
5. • 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.
6. Batting feast continues :-
• The crowd is completely silent and that
tells you a story. Bangladesh are yet to
pick a wicket in the day. Both Dhawan
and Vijay are now looking to consolidate
but the former is still scoring boundaries
at will. The partnership is over 200 now
and Bangladesh have not come close to
picking a wicket for a long time.
7. 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.
8. • 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.
9. Hundred for Dhawan :-
• Lot of nerves for Dhawan as he got
closer to his ton but he managed to
put away a half volley to the square
leg boundary. That must come as huge
relief. Vijay got his fifty much earlier
and Bangladesh are getting no respite.
10. Milestones approaching :-
• Both Vijay and Dhawan have continued
just the way they left off. Dhawan's into
the nineties now and Vijay is closer to
his fifty. India are moving on quite
confidently and Bangladesh are getting
pushed behind rather quickly now.
