The middle-order that couldn't kick on
Mahmudullah, fresh from two magnificent hundreds, and the dynamic Soumya Sarkar both got off to decent starts to keep Bangladesh in the chase. However, the 40-run stand ended when Mohammad Shami had Mahmudullah hooking to Dhawan at long leg, who took a juggling catch.
Shami struck two overs later yet again when Sarkar edged him to Dhoni to depart for 29, the third Bangladeshi to fall in the 20s in the game. Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim tried to lift Bangladesh from the hole they had dug for themselves but Jadeja struck as he had Shakib edging to short third man.
At 104/5, Bangladesh were all but out of the game and Ashwin and Jadeja kept things pretty tight with their variations.
