Bangladesh team bowled out India for 285 runs today, although Bangladesh team is batting at the moment but their batting performance is not good. Bangladesh team today lost their opening pair in the beginning they did not bat well due to which Bangladesh is under a lot of pressure at the moment.
Zakir Hasan and Hasan Mahmood could not bat responsibly but got out quickly, I think these players are not fit to play tests.  Patience is definitely needed to play tests, but we have seen Zakir Hasan's batting performance very poor in previous matches too, so I think they are not yet experienced enough to play tests. Right now Bangladesh team has collected 26 runs and lost two wickets, Bangladesh team still needs 26 runs to chase the target given by India.

Day 4 of this test match India against Bangladesh squad and these squads already played one test match previously in this test match Indian squad beated Bangladesh team very badly but Bangladesh squad performance in this test competition against Pakistan squad was super amazing and they made a record by defeating Pakistan squad two times. But against India squad difficult task for Bangladesh squad to defeat such monster and Incredible squad. Overall inning performance of Indian squad is completely admirable and their squad don't give a victory to Bangladesh very simply and second test match is still ongoing on crease and both squad completed their first innings, Bangladesh squad has collected 233 scores and India batters also did not display their good performance in first inning just managed 285 scores and declared to end their inning. In second inning of Bangladesh squad, first two early wicket was fell down Hasan Mahmud and Zakir Hasan both these were good batter and their wickets put burden to next batter hope they Bangladesh batter will manage hard scores to India squad.

The 2nd test affected by rain was heading towards a draw but India wanted to do something different and get a result. India did tried to have a large score in short time and they did scored quick but also lost wickets. Now they'd be hoping to all out Bangladesh in a short total and chase the target quickly. All Bangladesh had to do tomorrow is to hold onto the wicket. If they lost all their wicket before the last session, India would try to chase it provided rain don't affect tomorrow.

[Compromise me]

Bangladesh were eventually all out for 233 runs. Apart from Mominul Haque, all other batsmen's performance was very poor. Mominul Haque batted well and scored a century, he was unbeaten on 107 runs. India has come out to bat in the first innings, so far India has collected 145 runs with the loss of 3 wickets in 18 overs. India batsmen's performance looks like they are batting in T20 format. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal shared a partnership of 55 runs off 24 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance was excellent, he was dismissed for 72 off 51 balls. Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 23 off 11 balls. Shubman Gill was dismissed for 39 off 36 balls. Indian batsmen continue to try to score more runs in fewer overs. I was surprised to see the performance of the Indian batsmen. India trail by just 88 runs. Let's see how many runs India can score today.

I think there are chances for Indian team to play well and won this match . Indian International test cricket team has capability to change the match at any time. Indian team has last chance to all out in 5th day because Bangladeshi team is not good team and Indian team knows how to do the opponent team in pressure and we will see Indian team tomorrow.  Now Bangladeshi team is trail by 26 runs and they lose 2 wickets and they will play tomorrow and they will try to draw the match but there are fifty - fifty chances because Bangladeshi team can stop tough bowling but that is tough for both teams.  Indian team is favorite for that match because they are dominant and they have hard working players which are working for the years to play for their country

Finally today the game was played between Bangladesh and India, but this still we were not able to see the full day's game. It means that tomorrow is the last day that has left and I think in this short time, the match could not finish with a result because still almost two innings are left one by India and one by Bangladesh.



Bangladesh just have to make 26 runs more than they will be at par with the India score. In the first innings, Bangladesh scored well as they made 233 runs. Then as a result, India made 283 runs and got the lead of some runs but tomorrow once again Bangladesh will get lead but all this won't matter now.

In the genre of Test cricket matches, India is a super team and Bangladesh has almost no chance to win in any match though few matches they may win by the favor of luck and abandon a match or draw a match. If it is a draw match then that will be the loss of as they could win easily if there is no issue.

India is literally playing aggressively. They are playing this match like this is a T20 match. if Bangladesh can make sure that they do not let India score too many runs too quickly, they are going to be right and draw the match. There is no way Bangladesh is going to win this match. So either way it looks like it is going to be a series win for India as they have already been able to win the first match of this series. Shakib Al Hasan has recently picked up two wickets very quickly. But even that does not seem to make a difference in India is still scoring pretty quickly.

Yep absolutely agree with your view there is no way for Bangladesh to comeback and won that important match but can push toward a draw, as we have currently day 4th end and still we have Bangladesh to complete his innings and then India has to chased it down before the sunset then may be possibly India win which looks rare for me in current situation because Bangladesh know the situation and they will try hard to just stay long at crease till day 5 end and they will successfully get a one point instead of nill. So let's see how Bangladesh capture that situation.

Its a quite frustrating for the team and players and fans to watch a small chunk of the match due to rain and wet outfield issues but the way both teams batted very quickly show that they want a result from this game especially team India its interesting to see the day 5 of this test match.

Today is the fifth day but on the fourth day two wickets of Bangladesh team fell, Zakir Hasan and Hasan Mahmood are the lowest level players of this cricket team. They perform like this in every match and put the next batsmen under a lot of pressure. In the test game, he has to protect him and perform for a long time, but in that case, the players of the Bangladesh team are at least weak. If this current situation is not favorable then the Indian team can win this series in no time, because the players of the Indian team can give an aggressive batting performance so they should be relied on. But the lack of such patient players in the Bangladesh team can cause the wicket to fall at any moment, but the Bangladesh team must survive in any way to face this difficult situation until the end of today.

The Bangladesh was playing with the world strongest team India and the team India keep the first two place in the test cricket for the period since the Dhoni as the team captain.Before Dhoni the standard of test of India was not this much unique one.The captain after Dhoni like Kohli and Rohit keep the team standard in the test matches.Even now the standard was keep in the regular Intervals by the current Indian team captain Rohit Sharma,So the maximum can be done by Bangladesh is draw.

Yes, I also wished that we could see a result in the match but not possible in the current circumstances. Also, I thought Virat Kohli could come to bat early but Rohit Sharma gave a chance to Pant before him. In the last game, Pant scored very well and lead the team through the victory. He was not named the player of the match but still in the scoring innings, his century helped India a lot. Anyway, this time I was looking Virat Kohli in good strength and as he started to play fast as one day. He was playing today with a strike rate of 134 but out after scoring 47 runs. As he started, he gave us hope for more than 70 runs but still performed better than the last innings.

Bangladesh is struggling in test series and you are right Zakir Hasan and Hasan Mahmud are not playing well consistently. When they got out on the fourth day it put a lot of pressure on other batsmen. Bangladesh does not have enough reliable players who can bat forlong time.
To stay Bangladesh needs to find way to bat more steadily and handle pressure. Bangladesh team leaders need to rethink their plan and choose better players to fix these problems. Until then teams like India will keep exploiting Bangladesh batting weaknesses.

Today, the first station of the fifth day of the second Test begins, so far Bangladesh has collected 90 runs for the loss of three wickets. Very interesting thing is that Ashwin picked up three of Bangladesh's three wickets.  Needless to say, I think Ashwin will pick up the next wickets for Bangladesh.

There is no way the Bangladesh team can win the Test match if the wickets fall so quickly, as most of the players are out after scoring few runs. Only Sadman Islam entered the field as an opening batsman and scored a half-century, he is the only reliable player of the Bangladesh team who has performed well in recent times.  India team can easily win the match if they lose wickets like this, Bangladesh team lacks experienced players in their squad.

[Out of mind]

Bangladesh's batting performance was so poor that they lost wickets so quickly that the team lost 7 wickets before reaching 100 runs yet. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly in today's match, both of them picked up 3 wickets each. Basically today Bangladesh's batting performance is so depressed that they are not able to survive in any way, rather they are batting very badly. As they don't have many wickets at the moment I think they will be all out very soon, I think Bangladesh team needs to improve their game otherwise they will not be able to compete with India at all.

[Sithara007]

Ravindra Jadeja is just destroying the Bangladeshis. They are 95/7 now. A few overs ago, they were looking comfortable at 91/3. Then the slide started when Najmul Hossain Shanto was clean bowled by Jadeja and then they lost 3 more wickets quickly. It is just a matter of time now. Bangladesh is leading by 45 runs, and a total of 76 overs remain for today's play. If there are no more rain interruptions, then we can expect India to win this match (probably before lunch today). Turned out to be a completely one sided match.

Hey boss, Bangladesh is one such team where any untoward incident can happen at any time. Bangladesh were 3 wickets for 91 runs and 7 wickets for 95 runs.  Wow they are the top most popular test playing team in the world. If Bangladesh plays 10-15 overs in the number of runs that Bangladesh has taken, the victory will be confirmed.

On the fourth day of the second Test match between Bangladesh and India, after seeing India's innings, I didn't think they were playing a Test match at all. From the start, captain Rohit Sharma and another opener batsman Jayasal started batting in T20 style even as they tried to score runs at a very fast pace. Maybe their aim was to surpass the few runs scored by Bangladesh and put up a strong innings against Bangladesh. Comparing the run and ball statistics of Indian batsmen shows that they have more runs than balls. But it is good that the few Indian batsmen who tried to score quick runs were mostly dismissed by the spin bowlers.

Especially Virat Kohli's outs and Rohit Sharma's outs were spectacular. By dismissing Virat Kohli yesterday, Shakib Al Hasan created another record which is the most dismissals of Virat Kohli by Shakib Al Hasan among Asian bowlers. Shakib Al Hasan dismissed Virat Kohli for a total of seven times and sent him back to the pavilion.

[Sithara007]

Just one more wicket and it will be all done for Bangladesh. They are leading by 80 runs and so far Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja has taken 3 wickets each. BTW, Jadeja's test tally has now gone up to 303 wickets, at an average of 23.85. Now compare this to Mohammed Siraj, who has 76 wickets to his name at an average of close to 30. And guess who gets maximum media attention among these two? Same with Ashwin as well. 527 wickets at an average of 23.65, but Bumrah gets a lot more attention (164 wickets at 20.51).

[Haunebu]

India breathed new life into this dead test match by absolutely decimating their opponents in literally every department. If there is no more rain interruption now, they will whitewash Bangladesh as expected.

I expected Bangladesh to compete better against India after their recent Pakistan series win, but it looks like I was expecting too much. They are leagues apart in the test format.

This was one of the best display of bowling from India I have watch recently they take only 122 overs for having 20 Bangladeshi wickets and now heading for the win in this match and sweeping into series with the score of 2–0 which is surely best end of the second match and series for them.

I was expecting good resistance from the visitors but their all batsmen were not able to give any resistance and India treble of bowlers Ashwin, Jadeja and Bumrah wrap things very quickly now India needs only 95 runs 60 overs which is looking easy as they have good display of batting in first inning as well while they were on good rampage with having 285 runs in only 35 runs this was thanks to good experience in IPL which helps them for having batting like this.

Bangladesh team back on their normal with expectations were high from the for having some competition after having win in Pakistan, but they completely fail to give anything in this series which is surely disappointment for their fans back at home.

In the final moments of the fifth day, India need only 95 runs to win, which looks like an easy task for them. If this match is won, what will wash Bangladesh once again in Test cricket. Sadman and Shanto's 55-run knock made India worry while the Indian team was under a bit of pressure but later Shanto got out trying to play reverse swing with Jadeja's ball and then the Bangladesh team lost one wicket after another. After going into the fifth day with 91 runs after losing 3 wickets, he lost 7 wickets in the next 98 runs, although Mushfiq wanted to resist with Khaled Ahmed in the 10th batting session, but Mushfiq was dismissed by Bumrah. In this second innings, Ashwin, Jadeja and Bumrah took three wickets each and destroyed the Bangladesh batting line up.
