  Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT! 200 for Shami

  The partnership is broken! Jaker tries to go big, mistimes it, and finds the fielder. 200th ODI wicket for Mohammed Shami! A great rescue knock by Jaker comes to an end, and he is one of the reasons why Bangladesh can have a respectable total to defend today.

  Jaker Ali - OUT - c Kohli b Shami - 68(114)

  BAN 189/6 (42.4)

  Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: A big worry for India

  Take nothing away from Jaker and Towhid, but this match is a worrying sign for the Indian bowling in the middle overs, in Dubai conditions. More than 33 overs without a wicket is a big alarm that India must address.

  Had Rohit held onto Jaker Ali, maybe this problem wouldn't have been seen.

  BAN 183/5 (42)

• February20202517:19 (IST)

  40 overs done! Bangladesh have somehow survived till now, and survived unscathed since that big sitter by Rohit Sharma was dropped. 31.3 overs-long, this partnership. Towhid 70, Jaker 60.

  What total can Bangladesh get from here? 250 would be massive.

  BAN 165/5 (40)

• February20202517:08 (IST)

  Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Towhid up to 69

• February20202517:04 (IST)

• February20202517:02 (IST)

• February20202516:30 (IST)

  Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Harshit Rana back

  Now Rohit Sharma going for pace from both ends. Harshit Rana comes back in. Bangladesh's run rate is under 4, so the sense of urgency in the Indian camp for a wicket is not that high yet.

  But Jaker and Towhid have done a superb job.

  BAN 84/5 (22)

• February20202515:59 (IST)

  Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Another drop!

  Put down, again! Jaker Ali gets no timing, it was towards Hardik Pandya at mid-off, but the all-rounder fails to grab it properly. Second lifeline for Jaker, after Rohit Sharma's dropped catch.

  Could these mistakes come back to bite India?
