Drinks! Rishabh Pant walks out at number 4. A position which has been an issue for India in the recent past. Can Pant put all the doubts behind him and cement his place in this position?

M Rahman to M Shami, OUT! Bowled! 5-fer to finish a tremendous last over. His 4th 5-wicket haul in ODIs. Around off, Shami moves across to paddle but misses the ball hits his pads and goes onto hit the stumps. 2 wickets and just 3 runs from the final over. Top notch from Mustafizur. INDIA FINISH WITH 314/9 FROM THEIR 50 OVERS.
Bangladesh will be the happier side going into the break but India will not be totally unhappy. This does not look like a 300-pitch and the Indians have done really well to cross that mark. There is variable bounce and chasing certainly won't be easy.
The opening stand pretty much set it up for the batting side. 180 at more than run-a-ball deflated Bangladesh and they struggled to contain their lines and lengths. They were under the pump but when they got Rohit, started to improve. Rohit being in a league of his own, scored another century but then got dismissed. After that, Rahul got out quickly and barring Pant, no one could make a big impression.
Bangladesh will look at this as an inning of two halves. The first 30 overs went to India, scoring 181 for the loss of just Rohit. Then, they started to lose their way, scoring just 63/5 in the last 10 overs. Mustafizur Rahman was back at his best, grabbing his first 5-fer of this World Cup while Shakib was brilliantly economical, instrumental in halting India's charge after Rohit fell.
KL Rahul is up for an interview. Says that he is batting well and is happy with his starts though he is also disappointed to not convert them like Rohit. Feels if he converts his starts then the team can end up with 340-350 and those 30 runs could make a lot of difference. Says at this point of time he does not know how to convert them. Tells he is learning from his mistakes and expects it to come sooner rather than later. On the pitch, Rahul says that it is a similar to the one they played agai
There you have it from Rahul. He is confident that India can defend this total. Bangladesh will be quietly confident too. If they can attack the new balls, it might help them. But wickets need to be in hand for slogging at the death. Stay tuned for Bangladesh's reply.
