India's players celebrate after Ravichandran Ashwin got the wicket of Shakib Al Hasan.

B'desh Inns 2: 205-6 (55 ovs); Target: 515 | Scorecard

Jadeja from the other end. New batter Litton Das has hardly got his eye in but he goes for the big slog sweep and is beaten by some extra bounce.

Bangladesh will need him to build a partnership with Shanto and continue to give the Indians a good fight.

Shanto does well to push the fifth ball into the off-side for a single before Litton again tries the heave over midwicket but is beaten again.

In the next over, Shanto reverse sweeps Ashwin for two runs to deep point before he keeps out the next few balls.

Shanto lofts the flighted delivery from Ashwin back over the bowler's head for a four before another reverse sweep gets him two runs.

Litton looked quite edgy from the start, looking to attack the spinners. But his approach doesn't last long. He had a few ugly swipes against Jadeja in his last over without any result and this time he looks to defend but fails.

He stretches forward to defend but Jadeja gets the ball to turn and gets the edge as Rohit completes an easy catch in the slips.

Nearly another wicket as Jadeja gets the last ball to turn and bounce to beat new batter Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
