India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Score and Updates: Follow IND vs BAN live action at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.

Team India will take the field against Bangladesh in the second Test match in Mirpur, hoping to maintain their chances of playing in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final.

India (55.77 PCT) has risen to the second spot in the WTC standings, making the battle for the top two spots more intriguing after South Africa (54.55 PCT) suffered a crushing defeat to Australia (76.92 PCT) in a two-day Gabba Test.

Indian Team will be without Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Navdeep Saini, all of who are on the injury list.

Squads:

Bangladesh Squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Yasir Ali, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Nurul Hasan(w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Mominul Haque

  IND vs BAN: India win an almost losing game

  Ashwin punches the air in delight after he sees the ball go for a 4. Iyer is also elated and so are their teammates in the dressing room. Bangladesh, who were almost on the brink of winning will wonder how they let this slip.

  At one point, the target of 145 looked way too much as wickets kept falling. But Ashwin-Iyer partnership went on to bail the visitors out.

  This session was owned by Bangladesh as they took four crucial wickets. India had owned most of Day 3, but the late hour and a half went in favour of the host.

  IND vs BAN: Bangladesh have set 145 runs target for India!

  A couple of dropped chances by Virat Kohli at slip proved to be a blessing for the hosts. But Axar Patel did pick three wickets to help finish the innings soon.

  Partnership between Nurul Hasan and Litton Das helped Bangladesh fightback and shift the momentum. However, once the former departed, it was the partnership between Litton and Taskin that stretched the lead. But Siraj made sure to get Litton Das out. Taskin did hit a few boundaries to take his side to the 150-run mark.
