Bangladesh were done in by yet another woeful batting performance. Their bowlers tried their best but 137 was never going to enough. The visitors will have to do something about the batting; it has led them down throughout this tour. They will get one more chance at redemption on July 25th.
Join us then. Meanwhile, at Lord's, India are teetering on the precipice. This is Sriram Veera signing off
