Flat flat pitch but yeah they were dire.. Tbh this might still work out for them. Their plan in Bangladesh used to be to make roads and then bat endlessly to try and get a draw.. Plus schedule games when it is raining.. Apart from the rain, they may find a way to survive on this.

I couldn`t watch this wicket but cricinfo says otherwise.

Yadav to Soumya Sarkar, OUT, whoa! This is a 142 kph jaffa, and India believe they have a caught behind. Go for a review. Magnificent ball first up from Umesh, pitching fullish on off stump, and swinging in between the bat and pad. Too quick for Sarkar's defences as he comes forward with a lazy drive on the up towards mid-off. UltraEdge says there's a bottom edge and Sarkar's gone. Seems like this review came out of the confidence of Pujara at mid-on, saying there was a nick, and Vijay as well at midwicket. Kohli at cover also seems to have heard something

Once again Pujara lays the platform for Kohli to strike

The real man of the Indian team does it again.

I really missed Saha keeping wickets. **** Parthiv.

Hell yeah!

A dropped catch tends to cost you a lot more than a few extra runs contributed by a better keeping-batsman.

For the sake of relatively better averaging keeper batsman with relatively inferior keeping ability, you forgo a catch worth 50+ runs more often than not. It's not just the runs that the reprieved batsman adds but partly also the runs from continuation of partnership(s) involving the reprieved batsman. it really all adds up and furthermore dents the morale of your bowlers & the team... A missed chance tends to cost a lot more than we may realise, so it's absolutely essential that the best keeper plays, especially in India with all the spin.. Having said that, Saha lacks in the DRS department, he is not able to take any authority over potential DRS reviews or potential wasteful reviews.. For eg, he literally doesn't stop Kohli from listening to the bowler even when it is clearly not out.. He's such a passive guy that he has little sway over the calls, whereas Parthik was decent in this department..
