BAN 66/2 in 22 overs
Ashwin returns. A short leg in place for Mominul and he defends one straight to him. A sweep to deep fine leg brings a single. Two slips for Shanto. More of a gully in fact. Four!! Shanto brings out the reverse sweep and sends it through point for a boundary.
BAN 61/2 in 21 overs
The crowd erupts in celebration after Shanto is caught by Akash Deep at short square leg only to realise there was no bat involved at all. Maiden over.

Bumrah back into the attack. On leg stump, Shanto gets to the leg side and scampers across for a leg bye. A slightly late but ferocious appeal from Bumrah after Mominul is rapped on the pads. Review taken. Umpire’s call on hitting and Mominul survives!
BAN 55/2 in 18 overs
Four!! Siraj goes a touch too short and Mominul opens the face and carves it through the offside for a boundary. Just the four from the over.
BAN 51/2 in 17 overs

BAN 42/2 in 14 overs
Siraj back for a second spell. Mominul sets off for a quick single to extra cover. Streaky four!! Manages to find Shanto’s edge but it was played with soft hands and runs past gully for a boundary. Appeals for lbw and Siraj is confident, looked a touch too high. Coaxes Rohit into a review. Ball was pitching outside leg and India loses its first review!

BAN 8/0 in 2 overs
Siraj from the other end. Siraj gets one to move in to the left hander Shadman, flicked square on the leg side for a couple. Another couple through forward square leg. Now gets one to leave the bat, just past the outside edge!

Could this Test be Shakib’s swansong!
Hours after Shakib Al Hasan said he would like to retire from Test cricket after the first game against South Africa in Mirpur next month if he is given a ‘secure passage’ to leave the country, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made it clear that it does not have the powers to give him any such assurances.
“It’s up to the interim government to decide,” BCB president Faruque Ahmed told Sportstar from Dhaka on Thursday.
“We are a sports governing body and don’t have the power to give any sort of security assurances to anyone. At the most, we can request the government to consider the matter, but we can’t really promise anything,” Ahmed, who took over as the head of the BCB last month, following the resignation of Najmul Hasan Papon, added.

An image from the ground this morning. No rain at the moment!
Shakib Al Hasan announced his retirement on the eve of the Test
Shakib Al Hasan announced his retirement from T20I cricket on Thursday, and also confirmed that he will hang his boots from Tests after Bangladesh’s first game against South Africa in Dhaka next month.
While he wishes to call it quits in front of the home crowd, it also depends on whether the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) can ensure ‘absolute security’ for him as he returns home for the first time since the fall of the Awami League government, of which he was a part.
Shahryar Nafees, the in-charge of BCB’s cricket operations, however, said recently that the country’s caretaker government had clarified that Shakib would not be ‘harassed’ upon his return to Bangladesh. However, in case things don’t work out as planned, the second Test against India could be his last outing in whites.
What can we expect in this Test in Kanpur?
A dark and gloomy Green Park Stadium welcomed the Indian cricket team on Thursday morning for its optional training session ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh.
As the groundsmen readied the covers, anticipating a spell of shower, Gautam Gambhir walked up to curator Shiv Kumar and had a closer look at the two black soil pitches that are being considered for the series-deciding fixture. Following the discussions, Gambhir walked around for a while before getting busy with the day’s proceedings.
Even though assistant coach Abhishek Nayar later told the media that it’s still not clear which surface will be used, there are indications that the strip will be flatter with lower bounce, which is only going to become slower as the game progresses. There is a forecast of rain as well for the next couple of days.
For India, the biggest challenge will be to decide whether it would play three spinners. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who is one short of becoming the seventh Indian to take 300 Test wickets, are a certainty, while there could be a toss-up between local favourite Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
