2.4
Kumar to Soumya Sarkar,
FOUR,
pushed on the up, nicely timed. Kohli's dive to his left, from wide
mid-off, gets a hand to it, but the ball still hurtles along to the
fence

for four runs

Yadav to Tamim Iqbal,
FOUR,
dances down the wicket, reaches the pitch of a length ball, and drives
it with an open face, over point. That is an audacious shot

Kumar to Soumya Sarkar,
FOUR,
smashed away. No respect. Pure audacity. This is a gentle length ball,
pitches middle, angles away. Does nothing else. No movement, no
disconcerting bounce. Sarkar stands tall, swipes it across the line, and
sends it over a wide mid-on

Ashwin to Soumya Sarkar,
FOUR,
lovely cover-drive. This is a decent offbreak. Flighted nicely, not
half-volley, driven through extra cover for four. All along the4 ground

Ashwin to Soumya Sarkar,

ordinary bowling. Fired into the pads with only leg slip fielding behind
the wicket on the leg side. Sarkar gets enough bat on the sweep to send
it past that man

MM Sharma to Soumya Sarkar,

Bangladesh showing no respect to the World Cup semi-finalists. Sarkar
charges at him first ball, and even though the bowler has shortened the
length he goes ahead with the thump, sending this past midwicket for
four

MM Sharma to Soumya Sarkar,
FOUR,
what a way to get to the fifty. Sharma tries to bounce him, Sarkar stays
still, stands tall, and ramps this over the keeper's head. Great
atmosphere in the stands as he gets a standing ovation. This has the
makings of a great day for the crowd

no respite for India. Tamim marches to fifty by dancing down the wicket

Jadeja to Sabbir Rahman,
FOUR,
slog sweep. This time he has picked the right ball. From wider outside
off than he previously did. Sabbir thus covers the stumps and gets his
body outside the line. And then connects well with the shot
