🏏BD vs India - 2nd Test: Day 4: SBN Stadium, Dhaka - 22/12/22🏏 - Page 15

Karthik : "Thinking aloud...When the lights fade and the floodlights come on, can't they try and continue with a pink ball instead of the red? Or are the play dynamics and ball behaviour so different?" The difference is quite big.

Test cricket-th: "what was India's over rate today? Was it fine or are they dropping more WTC points?" It was good actually, close to if not touching 14 overs an hour.

Bangladesh, again, found promise but couldn't close in enough to push the advantage. Mominul was great with the bat. Others got starts but couldn't build on. After the lower-order collapse of 5 for 14, Taskin found pace, and seam movement every now and again to challenge the batters. Shakib got Gill in trouble and deceived Rahul too. He will look to get purchase early on. But at this point, India are ahead.

Sir

You need to go by Flow, we not need him 'cause track help seamer, Did you noticed Unadkat & Umesh effectived till 61-70 overs ( we dismissed them under 74 overs)

Kuldey will gets chance at Nagpur/ Ahmedabad & Delhi so not to feel bad about rahul & rahul ( aus will be in india for 4 test)

My point is if you have to replace one spinner with one pacer.it could be axar or ashwin.kuldeep was our man of the match .it was very important for his confidence and for india to perform today.

Well I am expecting a 2-0 result for this Series.

Cheers

In desperate need of points to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC), the Indian team will be eyeing a win as they sit in the driving seat going into the Test match in Dhaka.

IND 19/0 (8 Overs)

While Shubman Gill has scored 14 off 20 balls, KL Rahul managed to score just 3 runs off 30 deliveries. At the end of Day 1, Team India is trailing by 208 runs.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 2 folks!

The opening day of the Test belonged to India as Bangladesh were bowled out within three sessions. A pivotal knock by Mominul and some handy contributions from other batters helped Bangladesh accomplish a decent total, but the hosts would be disappointed with the fact that they collapsed and lost their last five wickets only for 14 runs. Thereafter, the Indian openers looked a bit edgy, but they somehow managed to survive the closing stages of day 1 under fading lights, against the new ball. India’s batters looked solid in the previous Test, and they’ll be looking forward to coming up with a similar performance even in this Test. Will they be able to do it on a pitch that has a greenish tinge? Let’s find out, the start of play is not far away..

Allan Donald says having a bunch of guys you can make a difference with is what he was looking for. Says it took about five months to get an understanding and youngsters to buy in to plans, learn to compete fiercely and not back out. He says India can pick three or more seamers in all formats. The way they swung the ball in the ODIs is a great testament of how good they are. When his tenure, he wants to leave a capable system and the new person could take over seamlessly.

The moving day could come early at Mirpur as hosts Bangladesh look to restrict India after Gill and Rahul survived a late test last evening. Khaled, Taskin, Taijul, and Mehidy are all seen practising. India's pacers took six of the ten wickets yesterday and Bangladesh's pacers have had a good record in 2022, and they'd like to finish it well.

Yesterday, Bangladesh started well. Mominul glued the innings which was worth celebrating, batters got starts but a collapse after tea thanks to Umesh and Ashwin's excellence along with Unadkat's relentlessness helped India restrict the hosts to 227.

Pitch Report | Sanjay Manjrekar: "There's already a lot of wear and tear. You can see three roughs that are pretty close to the off-stump (for a right-hander). One of them is on the danger area. That means there's a new dynamic coming into play. Three roughs are going to be great allies for the spinners."
