Virat Kohli: "Very pleased, we got what we wanted. The bowlers did an outstanding job. It does get a bit difficult to bat with the cloud cover. We've ticked all the boxes in these games. We're ready to go and can't wait for the 4th.''
With that, we come to the end of our live coverage of India's second warm up. Continue following sportskeeda.com/cricket for all the latest stories on the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
The Indian seamers were outstanding today. They bowled quick, got the ball moving off the pitch and in the air. Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept the ball up, allowed it to move about and then surprised the batsmen with a short change up delivery. On the other hand, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami were quick and hit the deck hard. A couple of Yadav's deliveries were absolute screamers - if one came back in to rattle Sabbir Rahman's stumps, the other moved away off the turf and squared Hossain up before inducing the edge.
At the end of the ambush, Virat Kohli will be a pleased man. His batsmen had a good work out and his bowlers absolute mauled the opposition while handing themselves a great boost of confidence going into the tournament.
After the two warm up game, Kohli will pretty much have a fair idea of the conditions and would have made a mental note of the players that he wants in his XI.
If Dinesh Karthik gets into the playing XI in the main tournament, he should thank Shakib-al-Hasan for opting to bowl first and allow him to score some crucial runs under his belt. Had they batted first, DK might not have got a chance to bat.
It's been a rather embarrassing outing for Bangladesh tonight. Come to think of it, Dinesh Karthik, with his 94 with the willow, ended up beating Bangladesh by 10 runs.
Over 23.5: Hardik Pandya to Rubel Hossain. OUT! That's it. Rubel is caught by Ajinkya Rahane in the second slip and with that, India have dismissed the opposition for just 84.
India beat Bangladesh by 240 runs and DK beat them by 10 runs.
Over 22.3: R Ashwin to Sunzamul. OUT! Taskin offers a simple catch to Rohit Sharma at backward point. Ashwin is among the wickets just like the other bowlers. Jadeja must be jealous now.
Over 19.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Mehedi Hasan. OUT! Back of a length delivery outside the off-stump and Hasan manages to nick it straight to Dinesh Karthick.
Over 15.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Sunzamul. FOUR!!!! Should have been the eighth wicket. The ball took the outside edge and the keeper Dinesh Karthik moved a step to his right just to see the ball go between him and the first slip fielder Rohit Sharma.
Over 12.4: Mohd. Shami to Mushfiqur Rahim. OUT! Just as we speak, Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket. Rahim hits a wide delivery straight to Jadeja at backward point.

Over 11.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Mehedi Hasan. FOUR! Three in three for Hasan. This time, he placed a good length delivery outside the off-stump between the backward-point and the cover fielder.
Over 11.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Mehedi Hasan. FOUR! Brilliant shot. It was a full ball and Hasan had no hesitation in driving the ball down the ground for a four.
Over 11.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Mehedi Hasan. FOUR! The ball was short and wide and the youngster smashed the ball over the packed slip cordon for a boundary.
Over 9.3: Umesh Yadav to Mushfiqur Rahim. FOUR! As we speak, Bangladesh just hit a boundary. Yes, you read it right. It was a length ball on the leg stump and Rahim was happy to flick it to the square-leg fence.
Seems like the opposition batsmen doesn't want the Indian bowlers to get proper practice. This could be the reason why they are on the verge of getting dismissed before the bowlers bowl 50 overs. 50 overs?
On a serious note, this is a serious spell of fast bowling from Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. This reminds the Indians fans of the warm-up against Australia before the 2013 edition.
Over 7.2: Umesh Yadav to Mosaddek Hossain. OUT! Brilliant delivery from Umesh Yadav. Straightened after pitching and took the outside edge of Saikat's bat. Karthik won't miss these catches. The "Tigers" are already out of this contest.
