    Rahul may as well take his gloves off at this rate. Kohli wants the 100.

  4. 6 runs

    Ind 249-3published at 40 overs

    Virat Kohli might have a chance at this century after all.

    He goes down on one knee and mullers Nasum Ahmed over long on.

    Kohli then knocks a single to keep the strike. He has 92, India need eight runs to win.

    What a lovely shot. It came out of nowhere. King Kohli is on song.

  6. 6 runs

    Ind 238-3published at 39 overs

    Part of the brilliance of Virat Kohli is his ruthlessness.

    He seems to be calmly going through an over, not really showing much intent, but offered the slightest opening he explodes.

    Hasan Mahmud pops in a slower ball but Kohli reads it and pumps it back down the ground over his head for six.

    You have to feel for Bangladesh. They needed early wickets and they didn't get them. And there's really only one result now. A question of when, not if.

  8. Ind 229-3published at 38 overs

    A run a ball off Mehidy Miraz's 10th over. He finishes with 2-47 from his allocation.

    Here's Virat Kohli's best bits. Not enough runs left in this game to make a century by the looks, but it would be surprise if he didn't reach three figures in this tournament based on this form.

    He's hooked that cleanly. It didn't go too high into the air, but he timed it perfectly.

    This is exactly what you want from your top batters. Finish the game off properly, don't leave it for the lower batters.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 222-3published at 37 overs

    You're too kind, Megan. It was self deprecation rather fishing for praise.

    Anyway, KL Rahul is bounced by left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam and heaves him for a flat six behind square.

    He makes it back-to-back boundaries with a slap over mid-wicket for four.

    India finishing with a flourish.

  13. Ind 207-3published at 36 overs

    Here's how Shreyas Iyer gave his wicket away a little cheaply earlier.

    Out in the middle in Pune, Mehidy Miraz grins at Virat Kohli after a delivery which had the India batter back in his crease defending a little more circumspectly.

  14. In 206-3published at 35 overs

    Shoriful Islam drops it short to KL Rahul who whips it round the corner for a one-bounce four. That was in the air for a little while but Rahul got enough on it.

    It would have to be an abomination for India to lose this game now. Bangladesh aren't offering up very positive body language. They want this done and dusted.

    India are milking this really.

    India 201-3 at drinkspublished at 34 overs

    Both sides take a breather. India are cantering to victory.

  18. Ind 199-3published at 33.4 overs

    Back in the days when I was a humble reporter for a regional newspaper in the West Midlands I actually had a one-on-one sitdown interview with Virat Kohli.

    He was a relatively unknown in England at that time, and I had hoped India's press officer would give me one of their 'bigger' names.

    It took place in Birmingham town hall. Almost unthinkable to get that kind of access to someone who is a global superstar now.

    I'd like to think our respective careers have followed a similar trajectory...

    Bangladesh's fielding today has been nothing but ordinary.

    Here's one of those Virat Kohli drives from a little while ago to feast upon.
