India vs Bangladesh: Umesh Yadav takes five as winning-run for Kohli & Co continues

The Indian team is on the verge of 12th consecutive Test series victory at home after skipper scored a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-ban-virat-kohlis-dominating-100-highlight-as-india-declare-on-347-9-264103">commanding ton </a>which was later backed by yet another day of quality fast bowling. &nbsp;

At stumps on Day 2 of first-ever pink-ball Test between both nations, Bangladesh were struggling to avoid defeat by an innings with a score of 152 runs. Bangladesh are still trailing by 89 runs and have only four wickets left with them.

After taking a fifer in the first innings, Ishant Sharma was once again the star of the bowling as he took four wickets and is set for another five-wicket-haul.

At one stage, India looked to end match on the second day itself when Bangladesh lost four wickets in less than seven overs.

However, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah's 120-run partnership delayed of what seems like another humiliating loss for visitors. The partnership looked threatening when Mahmudullah pulled up his hamstring while attempting a sharp single and was retired hurt.&nbsp;

The day ended after Umesh Yadav dismissed Taijul Islam, his second wicket of the innings. Rahim is still batting on 59.&nbsp;

Earlier, India declared on 347-9 after Virat Kohli scored his 27th hundred and ensured that India gained a decisive lead against the visitors. This was the 20th ton of Kohli as skipper and an incredible catch by concussion substitute Taijul Islam ended Indian skipper's innings at 138.

Kohli was ably supported by Ajinkya Rahane, who scored a half-century and the duo put on a crucial partnership of 99 runs. After the loss of Kohli and Rahane, India lost few quick wickets before wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha and Mohammed Shami hit few boundaries to take India a tad under 350.&nbsp;

The highlight of Kohli's innings was when he smashed Abu Jayed for four consecutive boundaries before finishing his innings with 18 fours.&nbsp;

Al-Amin Hossain and Ebadat Hossain claimed three wickets each.&nbsp;

On day 1, Bangladeshi batsmen went down like ninepins against lethal pace bowling led by Sharma who picked up five wickets.&nbsp;

Ind vs Ban 2nd Test: Hosts finish Day 1 on strong note after pace trio skittles Bangladesh

Bangladesh were forced to use two concussion substitutes Friday after India's pacemen led by Ishant Sharma bowled them out for 106 in the first day-night Test for both the teams.

Ishant returned figures of 5-22 in India's pink-ball debut to skittle the tourists in the second session after they elected to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/pink-ball-test-bangladesh-win-toss-elect-to-bat-first-263846">bat first </a>in Kolkata.

But the tourists were dealt a double blow after Liton Das and Nayeem Islam were forced out of the game following hits on the helmet from paceman Mohammed Shami.

Umesh Yadav soon got going in his second spell to send back skipper Mominul Haque, caught superbly by Rohit at second slip for nought, before bowling Mohammed Mithun two balls later.

Kolkata-based Shami, part of India's deadly pace trio in the series, received the loudest cheers from a packed house at Eden Gardens after getting Mushfiqur Rahim bowled for nought.

Opener Shadman Islam worked hard for his 29 off 52 balls before becoming Yadav's third victim of the first session, which ended with Bangladesh on 73-6.

Ishant Sharma takes fives as Indian pacers bundle out Bangladesh for 106 in pink-ball test

India's three-pronged pace attack wreaked havoc with the pink ball to reduce Bangladesh to 73 for six in the first session on day one of the second and final test on Friday.

Mominul was soon left to rue the decision as the tourists, beaten inside three days in the series opener in Indore, looked clueless against India's quality attack.

To make it worse for them, Liton Das, who made 24, retired hurt after being hit in the helmet by a short Mohammed Shami delivery.

Nayeem Hasan and Abu Jayed, both yet to open their account, will return after the break to try and help the tourists past the 100-mark.

Ishant Sharma dismissed Imrul Kayes for four to earn the breakthrough and Umesh Yadav struck twice immediately after a change of ends to rattle the tourists.

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test: Lethal Indian pace attack wreck Bangladesh on pink-ball debut

By: Amartya Sharma

After a stunning performance by both bat and bowl in the first test match against Bangladesh in Indore, India beat Bangladesh by an innings and 130 runs. This win brings an upgrade to a lot of Indian cricketers' ICC Test rankings and career milestones.

Mohammad Shami has made into Top 10 rankings of bowlers in Test cricket for the first time in his career.

Shami who ranks 7 now has rating points of 790 after his career-best 7/58 performance in the just-concluded test match against the Bangladeshi side. The 790 rating points is the third-best for an Indian pacer after Kapil Dev's 877 and Jasprit Bumrah's 832.

As Ishant Sharma moves into the Top 20 list and is at rank number 20 after 3/51 against Bangladesh. Ravichandran Ashwin's 85/5 helps him be in the Top 10 list. Umesh Yadav, who came in as Jaspit Bumrah's replacement ranks at 22 after a 98/4 against&nbsp;

3 Indian bowlers are in the Top 10&nbsp;list in Test cricket, Former test number 3 slips to fourth Jasprit Bumrah after being out of action after being detected of a Lumbar (lower back) stress fracture which had been detected ahead of the three-match Test series against South Africa, at number 7 is Mohammad Shami who lead a splendid bowling attack against Bangladesh and then Ravichandran Ashwin, who spun his web against Bangladesh batting order also completed his milestone of joint-fastest 250 wickets in test at home with Muttiah Murlidharan's record of 42 tests, ranks at number 10.&nbsp;

Ravindra Jadeja remains on rank number 2 in the rankings of the All-rounder slot in the longest format&nbsp;after his fiery 60 (not out) in 76 balls where he smashed 6 fours and 2 sixes, but remained wicketless despite a 17 over spell (3 in first innings and 14 in second innings)

Meanwhile even the 'Bradmansque' Mayank Agarwal, after a majestic career-best double ton (243) that helped India set an un-sailable lead of 343 runs and the Man of the Match was ranked No. 11 among the batsmen. The 28-year old debuted against West Indies earlier this year, with 3 half-centuries, 3 centuries and two double tonnes in just 12 innings has helped him come into the top 15 list of batsmen of the longest format. He has an average of 71.50 and the rating points of 691.&nbsp;

After this inning, Mayank Agarwal who previously ranked 18 skipped seven ranks and came on number 11.

Mayank Agarwal is only the 2nd Indian opener to score two double centuries in a calendar year after&nbsp;Virender Sehwag scored 319 against South Africa and 201 against Sri Lanka in 2008.

In terms of innings taken for the second Test double ton, Agarwal stands at 2nd position behind Vinod Kambli who took 5 innings. Donald Bradman played 13 innings for the 2nd Test double while the new Indian Test opener needed only 12 innings.

The top ten batsmen list in the test is unfazed by the recent test match performances. Four Indian batsmen are currently in the Top Ten list, Virat Kohli despite being out on a duck stands strong on the second position just below Steve Smith, with the career point of 912.&nbsp;

Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkaya Rahane maintain positions 4 and 5 ranks respectively. Cheteshwar Pujara scored 54 runs and Ajinkaya Rahane scored 86 runs.

Virat Kohli equals Alan Border's tally of 32 Test matches win as a skipper and his jointly at fourth position at the moment.

India will look to extend its record of the most consecutive series wins at home (currently&nbsp;at 11) after defeating Bangladesh in its first-ever day-night Test match in the Eden Gardens which commences on 22nd November 2019.&nbsp;

India continues to stay at the top of the ICC Test World Championship table with 300 points, these points are more than the combined points gathered by the rest of the teams (232).

India's win over Bangladesh: Updates in ICC Test Rankings, career-milestones and ICC Test World Championship

India declared their first innings on their <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-bangladesh-first-test-day-2-mayank-agarwals-mammoth-243-powers-india-to-493-262377">overnight score of 493-6 </a>and then reduced Bangladesh to 60-4 to inch closer to a comprehensive victory inside three days in the opening test on Saturday.

Bangladesh had folded for 150 in their first innings and their second outing with the bat was hardly any better as they looked all at sea against India's relentless pace attack on day three of the one-sided contest.

Mushfiqur Rahim was batting on nine at the lunch break and Mahmudullah was on six with a demoralising defeat looming on the tourists.

Earlier, India's massive 343-run first innings lead convinced captain Virat Kohli to declare on their overnight score at Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium.

Instead of stretching the lead further, Kohli wanted his quick bowlers to exploit the early morning conditions, which proved a smart decision as Bangladesh lost both their openers inside seven overs.

Umesh Yadav induced Imrul Kayes into a drive, only for the inside edge to crash into the leg stump.

In the next over, Ishant Sharma breached the bat-pad gap to sent back Shadman Islam. The openers made six each, mirroring their first innings score.

Mominul Haque, who made seven, survived a review before falling to one when India challenged the original not-out decision after Mohammed Shami had rapped the Bangladesh captain on his pad.

Mohammad Mithun hit four boundaries in his 18 but was jolted by a Shami bouncer which he pulled tamely to Mayank Agarwal at midwicket.

Bangladesh could have been in a bigger hole but Rohit Sharma dropped Mushfiqur in the slip to deny Shami a third success.

Kolkata hosts the second and final match, which will be the first day-night test for both sides, from Nov. 22.

India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test: India beat Bangladesh by innings and 130 runs

As India prepares to take on Bangladesh after suffering a stunning defeat in the Delhi T20 International, stand-in Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said that the team is looking to provide opportunities to younger players in order to make them ready for other formats.&nbsp;

"You have seen many players who have emerged from T20I format and then they have gone on to play ODIs and Tests, " Sharma told reporters ahead of the second T20 against Bangladesh. He added that this move doesn't mean that the team is not looking to win matches.

"Winning games is our top-most priority," the stand-in captain asserted.

On Sunday, Bangladesh tasted their first-ever T20 success against India when they comprehensively defeated India by seven wickets.&nbsp;

Sharma added that the team is not focussing on any one department and the idea is to perform "collectively".&nbsp;

"We will make a little change to our approach. We were playing according to the pitch in the first T20I, but if the pitch is better in the next match, then our approach would be different in the next two T20Is, Sharma said.

The skipper also hoped for a better track at&nbsp;Rajkot. &nbsp;

The second encounter of the three-match series will be held in Rajkot on November 7.

T20I: India trying youngsters to get them ready for other formats, says Rohit Sharma

Bangladesh one-day international cricket skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has asked for two months to confirm his retirement plans, officials said Saturday.

He was expected to confirm his retirement thoughts after the recent World Cup in England and Wales where he claimed just one wicket in eight matches.

The 35-year-old seamer missed the latest Sri Lanka tour last month -- which the Tigers lost 0-3 -- due to hamstring injury and is facing a long absence from international cricket as Bangladesh are not scheduled to play any ODIs until June next year.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) last week said they were planning to host a one-off ODI sometime in September against Zimbabwe to organise a farewell for Mashrafe.

Zimbabwe will be visiting Bangladesh next month to play a tri-nation Twenty20 tournament involving the hosts and Afghanistan.

But the plan has been shelved following Mashrafe's meeting Saturday with board officials.

"He sought two months to make his final decision and we said that is fine," BCB president Nazmul Hassan told reporters.

The veteran made his Bangladesh debut in 2001 and played 36 Tests bagging 78 wickets before injuries pushed him to retire from the long-format game in 2009.

Dubbed the Narail Express" by his fans, after his birthplace, Mashrafe retired from international T20s in 2017 but kept playing 50-over ODIs despite multiple major surgeries on his knee.

He entered politics last year and won a seat as a member of parliament in the general election.

He has also been running the Narail Express Foundation charity which donates ambulances to hospitals and seeds to poor farmers.

Bangladesh's Mashrafe Mortaza seeks time to decide retirement

Bangladesh appointed South Africa Russell Domingo as their head coach on Saturday succeeding Steve Rhodes who exited after the team finished eighth in the World Cup last month.

Domingo, who coached South Africa to the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup in 2014 and the 50-overs World Cup in 2015, has signed a two-year contract.

"He has a wealth of experience and we have been very impressed with his passion and coaching philosophy," Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan said in a statement announcing the appointment. "He has a clear idea of what is required to take the team forward."

Domingo said he was looking ahead to the new challenge.

"It is a massive honour...I have followed Bangladesh's progress with keen interest and I am extremely excited to assist the team in reaching the goals that they are capable of," he said.

The 44-year-old was picked ahead of former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson and former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur, local media reported.

Hesson was also in the race for the India coach's job before Ravi Shastri was given another stint in that role.&nbsp;

Arthur applied for the Bangladesh role after Pakistan denied him an extension following the team's failure to reach the semi-final of the World Cup.

Domingo will travel to India in his current role as South Africa A coach and his first assignment with Bangladesh will be their one-off test against Afghanistan in Chittagong next month.

World Cup: Record partnership spurs Bangladesh to score their highest ODI total

Bangladesh has altered its World Cup cricket strip to add a touch of red following uproar over the initial design, which some had likened to rival Pakistan's kit, the cricket board said Wednesday.

The national flag of Bangladesh is red and green, but the Tigers' jersey unveiled Monday for the tournament starting later this month in England and Wales was green and white.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesman Jalal Yunus said cricket's world governing body had originally asked it to drop the red colour due to "commercial complications", but relented following a subsequent request from the BCB.

"It made the jersey green and white. But people wanted a touch of red in the jersey. So we requested the ICC (International Cricket Council) again and they accepted our request," he told AFP.

The original design had featured the names of players and the word Bangladesh in red, Yunus noted.

Social media was awash with complaints after the strip was unveiled, with former BCB president Saber Hossain Chowdhury among those to criticise the original design.

"Red and green, our national flag colours, have always been reflected in jerseys of @BCBtigers over the years. So very sad this is no longer so," Chowdhury tweeted.

Many cricket fans saw a similarity with the jersey of Pakistan, from which Bangladesh became independent after a bloody war in 1971.

But BCB president Nazmul Hassan, also known as Papon, blasted the suggestion that the resemblance of Pakistan jersey prompted the swift change in design.

"Bangladesh is written on the jersey, how can you confuse it with Pakistan?" Nazmul asked reporters in a press conference on Tuesday.

"After seeing the Tigers' picture and BCB logo if someone thinks that it's not Bangladesh's jersey but Pakistan's then I think that person should stay in Pakistan," he said.

Bangladesh cricket team left home on Wednesday and will open their World Cup campaign against South Africa at the Oval on June 2.

First they will play a tri-national tournament in Ireland from May 5-17 along with fellow World Cup participants Ireland and the West Indies.&nbsp;

Bangladesh change World Cup strip after uproar

Having narrowly escaped a terror attack in a mosque that claimed 49 lives, a traumatised Bangladesh cricket team returned home with players stating that it will take some time for the normalcy to return.&nbsp;

According to Bangladesh's leading newspaper 'Daily Star', Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan said that as the players had gone through such a traumatic experience, they required a break from cricket.&nbsp;

"He advised that the players spend time with their families and try not to relive the memories from that day -- when the players were warned against entering the Masjid Al

Noor by passersby and quickly got away from the scene of a gruesome attack that has claimed 49 lives," the newspaper reported.&nbsp;

Bangladesh's senior opener Tamim Iqbal admitted that it would take some time before they can return to the field.

"What we faced here, it will take some time for us to get over what we suffered," Tamim said before boarding the flight for Bangladesh.

However, the left-hander was optimistic that they could deal with the trauma in due time.

"It's good that we are returning to our families because everyone is worried. Hopefully we will overcome this with time," Tamim said.

After narrow escape in New Zealand terror attack, Bangladesh cricket team returns home

Bangladesh's cricket team left New Zealand on Saturday, less than 24 hours after narrowly avoiding being involved in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/new-zealand-mass-shooting-suspect-remanded-until-april-5-203622">worst mass shooting in the country</a>, which now had to accept that sporting events were likely to have been changed forever.

A lone gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers at two mosques in Christchurch in the country's worst mass shooting which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as "a terrorist attack".

The Bangladesh team were on a bus that was approaching the Al Noor mosque, where 41 people died, on the eve of the third Test at nearby Hagley Oval when the shooting began.

The Test match, which had been scheduled to start on Saturday, was cancelled after the shooting and Bangladesh's tour abandoned.

Violent crime is extremely rare in New Zealand and the Bangladesh Cricket Board said the attacks had now changed their perception about team security on tours.

"We'll demand proper security wherever our team goes in future," BCB President Nazmul Hassan told reporters in Dhaka on Friday. "If a country provides proper security as per our demand, then we will go otherwise not.

"I can say that everything will change after this incident."

Pakistan's Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari also suggested the world governing body, the International Cricket Council, should possibly take a harder line against hosting matches in New Zealand.

"ICC shd take note &amp; perhaps suspend int cricket in NZ after this act of terrorism?" Mazari said on Twitter.

Pakistan has been unable to host matches at home since 2009, when gunmen attacked the bus carrying the Sri Lanka team to a match in Lahore. Six of the visiting team were wounded and eight locals killed.

New Zealand have not toured Pakistan since 2002 following a suicide bombing outside their hotel in Karachi and instead played their games in the United Arab Emirates.

They also abandoned a tour of Sri Lanka in 1987 following a bombing near their hotel in Colombo.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said the country would now also need to accept they were no longer immune from acts of extreme violence and that would need to be factored in when they hosted sports events and teams.

"This is shocking. This will change the entire fabric of international sports hosting. I think everything changes now," he said.

"We'll certainly be having to look at our security in depth. I think the idea of New Zealand being a safe haven is gone now.

"We now have to be very, very vigilant - all the authorities and sporting organisations, absolutely."

Bangladesh's cricket team left New Zealand on Saturday, less than 24 hours after narrowly avoiding being involved in the worst mass shooting in the country, which now had to accept that sporting events were likely to have been changed forever.

Bangladesh's cricket team left New Zealand on Saturday, less than 24 hours after narrowly avoiding being involved in the worst mass shooting in the country, which now had to accept that sporting events were likely to have been changed forever. A lone gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers at two mosques in Christchurch in the country's worst mass shooting which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as "a terrorist attack". The Bangladesh team were on a bus that was approaching the Al Noor mosque, where 41 people died, on the eve of the third Test at nearby Hagley Oval when the shooting began. The Test match, which had been scheduled to start on Saturday, was cancelled after the shooting and Bangladesh's tour abandoned. Violent crime is extremely rare in New Zealand and the Bangladesh Cricket Board said the attacks had now changed their perception about team security on tours. "We'll demand proper security wherever our team goes in future," BCB President Nazmul Hassan told reporters in Dhaka on Friday. "If a country provides proper security as per our demand, then we will go otherwise not. "I can say that everything will change after this incident." Pakistan's Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari also suggested the world governing body, the International Cricket Council, should possibly take a harder line against hosting matches in New Zealand.

'Unprecedented act of violence': New Zealand mosque terror attack in pics

Bangladesh bowlers struck twice before lunch on the fifth and final day Thursday as Zimbabwe struggled to avoid defeat in the second Test.

The visitors reached 161 for 4 at the break at Sher-e-Bangla stadium with first innings century-maker Brendon Taylor and Peter Moor batting on 54 and 10 respectively.

Zimbabwe's hopes of securing a draw rests on the pair, whose 139-run sixth wicket stand in the first innings took the visitors past the 300 mark. If they stave off defeat,

Zimbabwe will claim their first Test series win in seven years.

Resuming at 76 for 2, Zimbabwe lost Sean Williams for 13 after pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman provided Bangladesh with the first breakthrough. Spinner Taijul Islam dismissed Sikandar Raza for 12 by taking a sharp return catch to reduce Zimbabwe to 120 for 4.

But Taylor and Moor saw their side through to the break with an unbeaten 41-run stand for the fifth wicket. Bangladesh need a win to square off series after going down by 151 runs in the first Test in Sylhet.

Bangladesh declared their second innings on 224 for six at the tea break Wednesday after skipper Mahmudullah Riyad completed his second century in eight years.

Zimbabwe had been all out for 304 in reply to Bangladesh's mammoth first innings of 522 for 7 declared.
