BAN U19 48-1 (9.3)

India vs Bangladesh, U19 World Cup LIVE: Good bowling

India vs Bangladesh, U19 World Cup LIVE: OUT! Deepesh strikes!

WICKET! India don't take much time to strike! Deepesh Devendran was unlucky on the first ball but not this time. It was a short of length ball outside off-stump, and Zawad Abrar tried to threw his bat to it once again. He found the fielder at deep backward point.

Excellent knocks by Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Abhigyan Kundu on a day where the rest of India's talented batting lineup failed to score big. The likes of Henil Patel, Deepesh Devendran and Khilan Patel will need to bowl well if India are to defend 238.

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: OUT! India 238 all out

India's final wicket falls, and it's another terrific piece of fielding by Bangladesh! Deepesh Devendran gets a top edge, but a superb diving catch by Rizan Hossan at deep third-man. It's a 5-wicket haul for Al Fahad! India end on 238.

One more over to go.

IND U19 203/7 (42.1)

IND U19 vs BAN U19 LIVE: Stumping opportunity missed!

Big reprieve for Abhigyan Kundu! Bangladesh miss a glorious stumping opportunity. Abhigyan Kundu comes down the track against Jibon, gets no connection on it, but the keeper fails to collect it. Will that mistake come back to haunt Bangladesh?

The fourth umpire is out to inspect the pitch conditions at Bulawayo, according to Cricbuzz. The rain is still there, but the fourth umpire did reportedly pull his umbrella down during the inspection. That could be good news that the rain has lightened.

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: India's poor start

India's problems stemmed from the fact that they lost three wickets in the first 10 overs, including captain Ayush Mhatre and Vedant Trivedi in consecutive balls in just the third over. Bangladesh pacer Al Fahad was excellent with the new ball.

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: Suryavanshi, Kundu star

India have suffered plenty of hiccups during their batting, and Bangladesh have done a commendable job with the ball. However, Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed an excellent fifty up first despite wickets tumbling at the other end. Then, Abhigyan Kundu started off slow but picked up his tempo to notch up his own fifty.

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: Covers brought on

More covers have been brought on to protect the pitch. Dark clouds are in the air, with the rain continuing to fall. The rain has come at a bad time for India, who would've been looking for a late surge in the final stages of their innings. They were going at more than 6 runs per over after the 30th over.

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: Rain stops play!

Play is halted due to rain. The drizzle is too heavy, and the umpires instruct the covers to be brought on. Let's hope this isn't a long delay. Third time today that the rain has come, but this time it's heavy enough to force play to stop.

11 overs left in the India innings, as it stands.

IND U19 192/6 (39)

IND U19 173/5 (35.4)

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: FOUR!

Not well-timed but enough to it goes for 4! Kundu steps out, and looks to go over mid-on, but the a bit of an edge takes it just over a jumping fielding at mid-off. Kundu takes a single and moves up to 49.

India steadily increasing the run-rate.

IND U19 119/4 (28)

India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup LIVE: OUT! Suryavanshi departs for 72
