- 10:41 (IST)IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live: Can Shadman/Zakir score big?Both the openers got decent starts in the first Test, even notching up Bangladesh's first-ever 50-run opening partnership in India. But they'd be eyeing more than 30s today. A good platform would ease a lot of the pressure from an experienced middle order.BAN 8/0 (2 overs)
- 10:29 (IST)IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live: Spot on from Tamim!We are minutes away from the start! Before the toss, former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal had predicted the visitors to make two changes -- Taijul and Khaled in for Nahid and Taskin.

Hope our batters can score big today. Looks like a good wicket to bat on. New ball batting will be key though. Two changes. Nahid and Taskin aren't playing. Taijul and Khaled are in.Rohit Sharma: We are going to bowl first. The pitch seems a bit soft, so we have to make early inroads and we want our three seamers to make use of it. We didn't start well with the bat in the first game, but we found a way to score and the bowlers did the job. I expect no different here, we will be challenged but we have the experience. Same team.

It is a matter of looking to build experience [with the bowlers]. A lot of the series are going to be five-Test series. There is a lot of experience in this dressing room, but for the guys coming in, making sure they fit in and evolve. Start thinking about setting goals. I am a believer of mapping out journey for direction. If they can take it series by series and looking to improve," Morkel told the broadcasters.
