Aleksandar: "Khawaja has been amazing to watch. Hope he gets rolling today."

 
0.6
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, 1 run, dug in short and sits up outside off, picked up and pulled over backward square leg
0.5
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, no run, full and wobbles away in the corridor, Khawaja chases and is beaten
0.4
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, SIX, classy stroke from Khawaja. Length ball on middle, plants his front foot forward and sends it skimming straight down the ground for a maximum
0.3
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, 2 runs, nice and full on middle, much tighter. Cutter? Khawaja targets a leg-side flick and spoons a leading edge over the bowler
0.2
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, no run, the second ball is also a gift and Mashrafe gets away, again. Sliding into the hips, worked only to short fine leg
0.1
Mashrafe Mortaza to Khawaja, no run, starts off with a loose, loose ball. Short and wide outside off, Khawaja reaches out and carves it to short third man. That was a first-ball gift, and Mashrafe gets away
 

9:20pm: Bangladesh get into a huddle with Mashrafe doing all the talking. Watson and Khawaja walk out to the middle. Mashrafe takes the new ball

Bonium Tutul: "BD's winning formula would revolve around Mustafizur."

9.15 pm Bangalore is usually a fine ground to chase at, but Australia shouldn't think this is in the bag. Consensus is that there isn't that much dew, just as the pitch was also helping the ball hold in a little longer when the fingers are rolled over it

Avnish: "It is good to be fair to the Underdogs and cheer them up but I do not see this total being any problem whatsoever for the Aussie batting lineup on this ground. BD are also missing their other star bowler."
