IND vs BAN, 2nd Test Day 1 Highlights: IND 19/0; Early stumps called due to poor light
16:25 (IST)
That brings us to the end of our coverage of Day 1 of the second and final Test between India and Bangladesh in Dhaka, with the visitors ending the day on a high after bundling Bangladesh out for 227 and batting out the remaining overs without losing a wicket. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul will hope to convert the start into a big score tomorrow while early wickets will be key for the Tigers.
For now, this is Amit signing off, bidding you all a good day ahead!

After 8 overs,India 19/0 ( KL Rahul (C) 3 , Shubman Gill 14)
STUMPS ON DAY 1. The opening day of the second Test comes to an end earlier than expected with the umpires deciding to call the players back to the pavilion due to the rapidly fading light.
Bangladesh skipper Shakib bowls what turns out to be the final over of the day, in which he successfully appeals for leg-before against his Indian counterpart Rahul in the second delivery, and the latter reviews it, overturning the on-field umpire's decision after the ball is found to be missing leg.
16:01 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 6 overs,India 17/0 ( KL Rahul (C) 2 , Shubman Gill 14)
SIX! Gill charges down the track and launches the ball straight over the bowler's head! Shakib had been bowling a tight line so far in his spell, conceding two from his first two overs one of which went as a maiden, but concedes nine off his third. Gill will perhaps look to get another boundary or two under his belt before the umpire signals close of play.
15:49 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Cricket Score
FOUR! Gill collects the first boundary of the Indian innings, one that nearly costs him his wicket as he gets a thick inside-edge off a short-of-length ball that sends the ball running away to the fine leg fence. IND 8/0
15:46 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Score
After 2 overs,India 2/0 ( KL Rahul (C) 0 , Shubman Gill 2)
Taskin Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan open the proceedings with the ball, the former starting off with a maiden. Gill, meanwhile, collects a brace off the left-arm spinner in the following over to open the visiting team's account. Meanwhile, it has grown dark in Mirpur at the moment and the floodlights have been switched on at the SBS. Could be a little tricky for the Indian openers in playing out the remaining overs of the day.
15:43 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score
KL Rahul and Shubman Gill walk out to open the Indian innings with another 14 overs to be bowled in the remainder of Day 1. They'll hope to preserve their wickets till the close of play, while an early breakthrough could be crucial from Bangladesh's perspective after getting bowled out for a relatively low score.
15:39 (IST)
What a quality display this has been from the senior pacer
Brilliant stuff by Umesh. 2 important wickets which should ensure Bangladesh don't reach 300, which could have been a good score on this pitch.

After 73.5 overs,Bangladesh 227/10 ( Taijul Islam 4 , )
OUT! Bangladesh have been bowled out for 227 after opting to bat in the second Test at Dhaka, with Ravichandran Ashwin grabbing the remaining wicket to finish with figures of 4/71! Khaled Ahmed is the final batter to fall, smacking a full toss between middle and leg towards deep midwicket where Unadkat takes a fine low catch running to his right.
Khaled c Unadkat b Ashwin 0(2)
15:27 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Score
OUT! Ashwin gets the big wicket of Mominul Haque, who misses out on a comeback ton by 16 runs. The No 3 batter ends up getting a bit of glove on the ball while going for a leave, resulting in the set batter getting caught-behind. It was the extra bounce generated by the Mirpur track that did him in. The Tigers are on the verge of getting bowled out now. BAN 227/9
Mominul c Pant b Ashwin 84(157)
15:24 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
OUT! Wicket number four for Umesh Yadav as Taskin Ahmed perishes while attempting to drive a full delivery outside off. The edge flies straight to backward point, with Siraj finally completing the catch after a couple of fumbles. The Tigers have now lost three wickets in quick succession after tea BAN 223/8

IND vs BAN LIVE Cricket Score
After 70 overs,Bangladesh 221/7 ( Mominul Haque 82 , Taskin Ahmed 1)
Drinks called on the field at the end of the hour mark. Taskin Ahmed, meanwhile, joins Mominul at the crease, the latter batting on 82 at the moment and desperately needing support from the other end not only to help his team cross the 300-mark, but to also bring up his 12th Test hundred.
15:06 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 69 overs,Bangladesh 219/7 ( Mominul Haque 81 , Taskin Ahmed 0)
OUT! One wicket leads to another for Umesh as the Vidarbha pacer traps keeper-batter Nurul Hasan LBW. Except the umpire had originally turned the appeal down, with Pant urging Rahul to take this upstairs from behind the stumps. India get three 'Reds' on HawkEye with the ball appearing to hit the middle stump. The Tigers are in a spot of bother after losing two wickets in quick succession, with Mominul running out of partners at the other end.
Nurul LBW Umesh 6(13)
14:53 (IST)
The dilemma of an Indian fan right now
Don't know whether to feel sorry for Kuldeep Yadav who misses out after an excellent game or to feel happy for Unadkat who is playing a Test after a decade.

IND vs BAN LIVE Score
OUT! Umesh gets the breakthrough after replacing Unadkat in the attack as Mehidy's supporting act in the sixth-wicket stand comes to an end. The all-rounder was looking to cut a short-of-length delivery from the Vidarbha pacer, but ended up getting a thick nick. BAN 213/6

India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score
After 66 overs,Bangladesh 213/5 ( Mominul Haque 81 , Mehidy Hasan 15)
SIX! Smashed over long on by Mominul, who moves into the 80s in the process, off Ashwin. Getting to the three-figure mark will no doubt be playing on his mind right now!
14:34 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh Live Score
After 64 overs,Bangladesh 199/5 ( Mominul Haque 72 , Mehidy Hasan 11)
Ashwin replaces Axar with Rahul opting to keep Unadkat from the other end. Mominul, meanwhile, moves into the 70s with a boundary off the senior offie in his second over of the spell with a firm cut through the point region. His score of 72 is now the highest for a Bangladeshi batter in Tests against India.
14:15 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Score
After 60 overs,Bangladesh 189/5 ( Mominul Haque 66 , Mehidy Hasan 8)
FOUR! After a slow start to the session, with just one run coming off the first two overs after tea, Mehidy breaks the shackles with a boundary off Axar. Gets a thick edge off an attempted cut that sends the ball running away to the third man boundary, resulting in his second four of the day.
14:11 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
We're back for the final session of the opening day, with Axar Patel set to bowl the first over after tea. Mominul Haque will be eyeing the three-figure mark while Rahul and Co will be hoping to get his wicket as early possible in their bid to restrict the Tigers to 300 or less on what is a good batting surface at Mirpur.
13:56 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 57 overs,Bangladesh 184/5 ( Mominul Haque 65 , Mehidy Hasan 4)
TEA on Day 1, with Bangladesh reaching 184/5 at the end of what has been a mixed session, with Mominul still going strong at the moment. Jaydev Unadkat is brought back for one final over before the interval, and he nearly finds the edge of Mehidy Hasan Miraz's blade in the last ball. A total of 102 runs have been collected in this session for the loss of three wickets, including that of Shakib off the very first ball.
13:36 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Cricket Score
After 53 overs,Bangladesh 183/5 ( Mominul Haque 65 , Mehidy Hasan 4)
FOUR! Mominul continues to bat with positive intent, dancing down the pitch and lofting the ball over the mid off region to collect his 11th boundary. The Indians appeal for an LBW loudly two balls later, and decide against utilising their only remaining review after the umpire shakes his head once again.
13:30 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Score
After 51 overs,Bangladesh 178/5 ( Mominul Haque 60 , Mehidy Hasan 4)
India end up burning another review following an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Ashwin against Mominul, with the ball found to be pitching outside leg — which is surprising given the offie was bowling from round the wicket. Keeper Pant himself wasn't too sure about the review, but cautiously advised skipper Rahul and Ashwin to "take a chance". Mominul moves to 60 with a single off the last delivery of the over.
13:19 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score
OUT! Litton Das was looking to bat positively in the remainder of the afternoon session and ends up playing a shot too many, driving straight to KL Rahul at midwicket while looking to take the aerial route off Ashwin's bowling on the leg side. Another dangerous-looking partnership has been broken. BAN 172/5
Litton c Rahul b Ashwin 25(26)
13:14 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh Live Score
After 47 overs,Bangladesh 166/4 ( Mominul Haque 56 , Litton Das 21)
Lovely little battle between Litton and Siraj in the 47th over, the two having had a few run-ins in this series. Litton collects a four and a six off consecutive balls, producing a lovely punch through point for a four before following it up with a confident pull towards the midwicket fence for a maximum. The two apparently have another go at each other between those two deliveries. Siraj then responds with an inswinger that raps Litton on the backpad, leading to an unsuccessful LBW appeal.
13:05 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Score
After 43 overs,Bangladesh 139/4 ( Mominul Haque 50 , Litton Das 0)
FOUR! Mominul Haque brings up his 16th Test half-century, as well as his first against the Indians in the format, with a boundary off Jaydev Unadkat, taking 78 deliveries to get to the mark! Has been quite the positive display from the Bangladeshi No 3 batter, with 36 of his 50 runs coming in boundaries so far.
12:54 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 41 overs,Bangladesh 130/4 ( Mominul Haque 41 , )
OUT! Unadkat with the breakthrough, bringing the partnership that was starting to worry the Indians a tad as Mushfiqur ends up nicking the ball to keeper Pant to depart after getting off to a promising start. The left-arm seamer brings the ball into the batter from round the wicket, but manages to get some late away movement that deceives the experienced batter and gets the outside edge. BAN 130/4
Mushfiqur c Pant b Unadkat 26(46)
12:37 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 39 overs,Bangladesh 125/3 ( Mominul Haque 40 , Mushfiqur Rahim 22)
A flurry of boundaries for the Bangladeshis, and India suddenly are under pressure! Veteran batter Mushfiqur takes the attack to Ashwin, collecting a hat-trick of boundaries off the off-spinner in the last three balls of the 38th over. Unadkat starts off with a dot in the following over, but ends up conceding back-to-back fours to Mominul, who produces a couple of crisp flicks. The pair have decided to accelerate after batting cautiously following Shakib's dismissal, and will look to put the hosts in a solid position by continuing their positive approach.
12:22 (IST)
A moment to savour for the Saurastra seamer!
Happiness is watching @JUnadkat get his first Test wicket ????????
Pure joy on the face of the left-arm pacer as he gets his first scalp following his comeback for ???????? in Whites after 1️⃣2⃣ years ????#BANvIND #JaydevUnadkat #SonySportsNetwork pic.twitter.com/2txsBaQ284

After 34 overs,Bangladesh 97/3 ( Mominul Haque 27 , Mushfiqur Rahim 7)
Mominul collects his first runs of the session with a boundary off Umesh, steering the ball towards third man with Ashwin giving it a spirited chase, but losing in the end. India burn a review in the following over after an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Siraj against Mushfiqur, with the ball hitting the ball just outside the off-stump line on HawkEye. Siraj looked fairly confident and managed to successfully convince skipper Rahul to opt for the review, something that he has done multiple times in the past with Virat and Rohit as well.

After 30 overs,Bangladesh 91/3 ( Mominul Haque 23 , Mushfiqur Rahim 5)
India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score
Bangladesh are dealt a big blow at the start of the second session as Shakib Al Hasan is dismissed off the very first ball after lunch, with Umesh Yadav joining Jaydev Unadkat and Ravichandran Ashwin in the wickets column. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim walks out next and gets off the mark with a single off Umesh.
Siraj returns to the attack next over and concedes a boundary — Mushfiqur's first — off the fourth ball, with an outside edge flying through the backward point region. Four leg byes are added to the score off the last ball after taking a deflection off Mushfiqur's pads.

After 28 overs,Bangladesh 82/2 ( Mominul Haque 23 , Shakib Al Hasan (C) 16)
And that's LUNCH ON DAY 1, with Mominul Haque and Shakib Al Hasan stitching an attacking 43-run stand for the third wicket to bring Bangladesh back on its feet after losing both openers in quick succession. And the way Mominul and Shakib are progressing at the moment is sure to worry opposition captain Rahul, who will be plotting the breakthrough in the dressing room.
10:53 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Score
After 24 overs,Bangladesh 69/2 ( Mominul Haque 14 , Shakib Al Hasan (C) 15)
Umesh comes back for another burst shortly before lunch, replacing Unadkat and starting off his new spell on a tidy note. Four conceded by Ashwin in the subsequent over, three of which are collected by Mominul off an edge in the fourth delivery as the ball flies between keeper and slip. Appeal for run out in the final ball after a direct hit at the non-striker's end by Shreyas, but Mominul had grounded his bat well in time, making for an easy decision for the third umpire.
10:44 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 21 overs,Bangladesh 53/2 ( Mominul Haque 11 , Shakib Al Hasan (C) 3)
SIX! Shakib has decided to take the attack to Ashwin now, charging down the track and launching the ball towards long on, where he comfortably clears the fence! The skipper is mounting quite the fightback alongside Mominul. Earlier in the same over, Shakib had used his feet to dance down the track and launch the ball in the opposite direction, over the covers for a four. 10 off Ashwin's sixth over.
10:37 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 20 overs,Bangladesh 52/2 ( Mominul Haque 11 , Shakib Al Hasan (C) 2)
Shakib tries charging down the track against Ashwin at the start of this over, but isn't able to clear mid off. The senior all-rounder gets off strike with a single two balls later. Tidy fifth over from Ash, with just one coming off it.
10:32 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Cricket Score
FOUR! Flicked away by Mominul off an overpitched delivery from Unadkat, bringing up the fifty for the hosts and also moving to double figures in the process. Second boundary for Mominul, one of the more recognised batters of the current generation of Bangladeshi cricketers. BAN 51/2
10:22 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Score
OUT! One wicket leads to another, and this time it's Ashwin who removes the other opener Shanto by trapping him leg-before. Shanto had stuck his pad out to a delivery pitched outside off, assuming it to be missing the off pole. The Indians appeal, though, after the extra bit of turn on the delivery, and the umpire raises his finger. Shanto reviews, and gets 'Umpire's Call' on DRS. BAN 39/2
Shanto LBW Ashwin 24(57)

OUT! Maiden Test wicket for Jaydev Unadkat in only his second appearance in the format! Zakir's surprised by the extra bounce that has been the norm so far today at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, lobbing the ball towards the slips off the glove, with skipper Rahul collecting a simple catch in the cordon. BAN 39/1

After 13 overs,Bangladesh 37/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 22 , Zakir Hasan 15)
FOUR! Another lovely punch down the ground by Shanto, this time off Unadkat, to collect his third four of the innings and move into the 20s. Time for the players to have a drink at the end of the first hour of the morning session.
09:56 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Score
After 12 overs,Bangladesh 32/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 17 , Zakir Hasan 15)
Spin introduced in the 12th over with Ravichandran Ashwin replacing Umesh Yadav, and he instantly gets sharp bounce and turn that catches Zakir by surprise and induces a reaction grab from keeper Pant. Zakir pinches a single off the third. Shanto grabs a brace off an inside edge towards fine leg off the fourth before collecting three off the next delivery after a thick edge that flies wide of gully. Six off the over.
09:43 (IST)
IND vs BAN 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 9 overs,Bangladesh 21/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 10 , Zakir Hasan 11)
Good first over from Jaydev Unadkat — the first time he's bowled in international cricket in 12 years — with just one coming off it as Shanto collects a single off a leading edge in the penultimate delivery. The ball kicks up awkwardly and surprises Zakir in the final ball.
09:34 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test LIVE Cricket Score
After 7 overs,Bangladesh 18/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 8 , Zakir Hasan 10)
FOUR! Another boundary to Shanto, who had gone quiet after getting off the mark with a boundary in the first over. Played this with soft hands, the edge flying low past gully and all the way to the boundary rope.
09:26 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Cricket Score
After 5 overs,Bangladesh 14/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 4 , Zakir Hasan 10)
FOUR! First boundary of the innings for Zakir, although unlike Shanto, this comes off a thick outside edge that sends the ball flying through the gap between the slip cordon and gully. Zakir retains the strike with a single off the last ball. Bangladesh off to a steady start after opting to bat.
09:17 (IST)
IND vs BAN LIVE Score
After 2 overs,Bangladesh 7/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 4 , Zakir Hasan 3)
DROPPED! Chance, a tough one at that, goes begging near fine leg after an ambitious flick by Zakir Hasan off Umesh Yadav in the second over. Siraj puts in a slide, but isn't able to hold on to the catch, and ends up clutching his left shoulder in pain. Zakir, meanwhile, collects a brace off the drop and gets off strike two balls later.
09:06 (IST)

FOUR! Najmul Hossain Shanto collects the first runs of the match with a lovely straight drive off Mohammed Siraj in the penultimate ball of the first over! BAN 4/0
09:03 (IST)
India vs Bangladesh Live Score
Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan walk out to open the Bangladesh innings after skipper Shakib Al Hasan opts to bat as Mohammed Siraj gears up to bowl the first over from the Walton End. Quite the hazy morning in Mirpur at the moment, typical for winters in the non-coastal parts of the subcontinent.

Preview: Team India will be hoping to end a bittersweet year on a high when they take on Bangladesh in the second Test in Dhaka, hoping to complete a 2-0 sweep of the series.
India’s recent performances haven’t made for a very happy reading for their supporters, with the team failing to reach the final of the T20 World Cup before dishing out mixed performances in their tour of New Zealand. The Men in Blue then lost back-to-back games in Dhaka to concede yet another ODI series on Bangladeshi soil.
The team, however, has been on an upward trajectory since arriving in Chattogram, winning the third one-dayer by a sizeable 227-run margin followed by a clinical performance in the first of two Tests, which they won by 188 runs to go 1-0 up.
With Rohit Sharma, who had picked up a thumb injury during the second ODI, yet to recover to full fitness, KL Rahul will continue to lead the Indian team in his stead with Shubman Gill set to continue as his opening partner. Besides Rohit, pacer Navdeep Saini was also ruled out.
Gill had shone with the bat at Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, bringing up his maiden Test hundred in the second innings, and will hope to put up another strong performance at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium to try and stake a stronger claim to a regular top-order spot in the team.
Squads:
Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Yasir Ali, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Nurul Hasan (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Mominul Haque.
India: KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Saurabh Kumar, Srikar Bharat, Abhimanyu Easwaran.
