India vs Bangladesh, LIVE Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 1 at Dhaka: KL Rahul-led visitors eye 2-0 sweep
08:34 (IST)
Shakib Al Hasan: It will be a challenge early on, but will be a good surface to bat on once settled. Two changes — Mominul replaces Yasir and Ebadot replaces Taskin.
KL Rahul: We would’ve done the same, but to be really honest, it’s a really confusing wicket. Not very disappointed with losing the toss. I have no idea what to expect from this pitch. I do feel it’s a bit damp so might do a bit in the first session. We made one change — Kuldeep Yadav misses out and Jaydev Unadkat comes in. Little hard for us to leave Kuldeep, who was the Man of the Match, out.

"We want to see us being a little more attacking. It is not easy to duck on these pitches, so if you have a bit of pace, you can be a little more expansive and aggressive"
Bangladesh bowling coach Allan Donald urges the Tigers to show more aggression with the ball in the second Test in Mirpur.

Crucial WTC points on offer in 2nd Test
India take on Bangladesh in the second Test at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium not only to complete a 2-0 sweep and bury the disappointment of the ODI series loss earlier, but to also boost their chances of making a second straight World Test Championship final, given they're currently at the secnd spot on the table following their 188-run win at Chattogram as well as South Africa's heavy defeat at the hands of leaders Australia in Gabba.
Preview: Visitors go for the kill in second Test as WTC battle heats up

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka with the KL Rahul-led visiting team eyeing a 2-0 sweep of the series with another clinical performance.
Preview: Team India will be hoping to end a bittersweet year on a high when they take on Bangladesh in the second Test in Dhaka, hoping to complete a 2-0 sweep of the series.
India’s recent performances haven’t made for a very happy reading for their supporters, with the team failing to reach the final of the T20 World Cup before dishing out mixed performances in their tour of New Zealand. The Men in Blue then lost back-to-back games in Dhaka to concede yet another ODI series on Bangladeshi soil.
The team, however, has been on an upward trajectory since arriving in Chattogram, winning the third one-dayer by a sizeable 227-run margin followed by a clinical performance in the first of two Tests, which they won by 188 runs to go 1-0 up.
With Rohit Sharma, who had picked up a thumb injury during the second ODI, yet to recover to full fitness, KL Rahul will continue to lead the Indian team in his stead with Shubman Gill set to continue as his opening partner. Besides Rohit, pacer Navdeep Saini was also ruled out.
Gill had shone with the bat at Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, bringing up his maiden Test hundred in the second innings, and will hope to put up another strong performance at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium to try and stake a stronger claim to a regular top-order spot in the team.
Squads:
Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Yasir Ali, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Nurul Hasan (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Mominul Haque.
India: KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Saurabh Kumar, Srikar Bharat, Abhimanyu Easwaran.
