It is down to last over now! India need six off as many balls. Kuldeep Yadav will be on strike. And for Bangladesh, looks like Soumya Sarkar will bowl the final over. He hasn't bowled in this match and here he is bowling the last over!!!! No, Mortaza changes his mind and brings on Mahmudullah.

Mashrafe Mortaza brings himself on. Good over by him, just five off it. Kedar Jadhav is struggling with his hamstring injury and that could work in favour of Bangladesh.

Good over for India. Kedar Jadhav is the new batsman in and he has smashed a six early in his innings. Looking to take some pressure off MS Dhoni, if there is any!

OUT! Mahmudullah strikes for Bangladesh. Poor shot by Dinesh Karthik, he misses the straighter one. Was looking to play across the line. Can Bangladesh pull things back here! D Karthik lbw b Mahmudullah 37(61)
