Jaiswal, Pant keep Bangladesh at bay

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant run between the wickets during day one.

India 88-3 (23 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Pant takes on the short ball from Taskin but mistimes the pull shot which falls just short of Shakib running in from deep square leg.

The pitch seems to have eased off quite a bit in the last 30 minutes as batting looks much easier than in the morning.

Jaiswal battled hard in the first hour and is now looking to make up by playing a few shots.

He is not playing rash shots but has been quite good with his shot selection when looking to hit boundaries.

India are 76/3 in 20 overs, scoring at nearly four per over, with Jaiswal on 36 and Pant on 22.

In the next over, Pant rocks back to slap spinner Mehidy powerfully through the covers for a four and then picks a single off the fourth.

Pant, on 27, gets a lifeline as he is put down in the slips. Pant pushes away from his body as Taskin gets some late movement to take the edge. Shadman Islam at first slip reacts quite late as the ball goes through his left for a four.

The ball was right in between the first and second slip and Shadman reacted late hoping that Najmul at second slip might have gone for it.

A big opportunity wasted for Bangladesh at the stroke of lunch and Pant would look to make them pay for this lapse.

Mehidy to bowl the final over of the morning session. Pant and Jaiswal take a single each off the first two balls before the former watchfully plays out the rest of the over.
