Bangladesh created the first shock of the World Cup by producing a sterling performance to beat India in Trinidad.

Mashrafe Mortaza (4-38) bowled superbly as India, electing to bat first, were bowled out for 191 in the final over.

Tigers opener Tamim Iqbal, at just 17, then smashed a wonderful 51 to put the pressure firmly on India's bowlers.

And they were unable to respond, as Bangladesh won by five wickets with nine balls remaining, two more teenage batsmen hitting half-centuries.

BANGLADESH INNINGS

49th over: 195-5
Some of the Trinidad locals are kicking up a storm up in the stands, relishing the shock that's about to happen. Rahim plays defensively - twice. However, Rahim hits the winning runs, square-driving Agarkar for four. That is a monumental upset. India coach Greg Chappell is not a happy man. In fact, he looks like a man who has organised a golfing week with his mates only to be told he has to go and watch his daughter's nativity play. As shocks go, that is up there with Keith Deller v Eric Bristow in the 1983 world darts final. Smashing. You both back tomorrow? See you then.

48th over: 191-5
Much mirth up there on the Bangladesh balcony and it's Zaheer on to bowl. Rahim plays defensively - no panic. Scores level, Rahim gliding Zaheer to third-man for one. Ashraful plays defensively again, the Bangla Boys savouring their victory. More stout defence from Ashraful and that's the end of the over. Rahim, it seems, will score the winning run.

47th over: 190-5
Easy one for Rahim to long-on, pretty lazy fielding from India and their body language suggests they are shot. Ashraful gets a couple for a paddle to fine-leg and Bangladesh need just two to win.

"I'm on my way to Bangladesh next week. I'm sure the celebrations will continue when I get there!"

46th over: 187-5
Ashraful pulls Agarkar and Harbhajan puts down a difficult chance at square-leg. One for the shot. Ashraful misses out on a full-bunger but the Bangladesh balcony is groaning now as players and officials gather ahead of their inevitable victory.

45th over: 184-5
Ashraful bends his front leg and unfurls a sweet cover-drive for four. Less than 10 needed now and India are being shown up big time.

44th over: 177-5
Rahim tries to upper-cut Agarkar but misses. Head down sunshine and concentrate, no need for silly shots. Ashraful is then cut in half by Agarkar, but there was no wood on it. I have just seen the worst umpiring decision ever in the Ireland-Pakistan match, Andre Botha given out caught when his bat was about a foot away from the ball. Remarkable. Fifty for Rahim, the third of the Bangladesh innings.

43rd over: WICKET - Bashar st Dhoni b Sehwag1, Bang 175-5
That is not a clever shot by the skipper, having an ugly swipe at Sehwag and getting himself stumped. The youngsters have done their bit, you expect more from the wise old man in the side. Ashraful is thenext man in and Sehwag almost has him caught by Uthappa at short-leg. Not sure it carried to be honest.

42nd over: 173-4
Ireland 62-3, chasing 132 to beat Pakistan. Agarkar beats a Rahim swish, but Rahim retaliates with a clever upper-cut for four. The Bangla Boys are not cowed as they home in on their target. The England players fined for having a late-nighter have been named - Anderson, Plunkett, Bell and Lewis. Silly sausages. Apparently they were in a nightclub called Rumours after their loss in St Lucia.

41st over: 168-4
Rahim, seeing the ball like a beach ball, charges Sehwag and rat-a-tats him to the long-off boundary. Brutal. Uthappa, at short-leg, can't gather a bump ball when he perhaps could have made life uncomfortable for Rahim.

40th over: 164-4
Skipper Bashar is next up the ramp and Harbhajan gets a couple past his bat, one keeping very low. Maiden over, but Harbhajan needs wickets, wickets and more wickets.

39th over: WICKET - Hasan st Dhoni b Sehwag 53, Bang 163-4
It's Sehwag time now and Rahim grabs a quick single with a turn to leg. However, Hasan gets himself stumped, charging down the pitch, missing and Dhoni whipping off the bails. A glimmer for India...but only a glimmer.

38th over: 161-3
All getting a bit desperate now for India, Harbhajan going up for a decidedly half-hearted lbw appeal. Hasan then slams the Indian spinner over long-off for another maximum and his fifty. Bangladesh aren't just winning this, they're walking it.

37th over: 155-3
Rahim gives Yuvraj some hammer, smashing him over the mid-wicket fence for six. Hasan gets one for a leg-side clip.

36th over: 146-3
Maiden over from Harbhajan, but he's only got three left.

35th over: 146-3
Rahim dabs Yuvraj to square-leg before Hasan marches down the track and drives to the long-off boundary. Too easy this for the Bangla Boys, and they'll be desperate to win this for Manjural Islam, their former team-mate who was recently killed in a road accident.

34th over: 141-3
Rahim gets four for a top-edged pull, but Bangladesh will take the runs any which way. Long on chat going on upstairs as the third umpire decides whether the ball landed on the rope, but umpire Dar eventually signals four. Rahim angles Patel to backward of point and this is a stroll in the park at the moment.

33rd over: 135-3
Yuvraj is on for India and Hasan pushes him to mid-off. Bangladesh can quite easily do this in singles, no need to take any risks. Just one from the over.

32nd over: 134-3
Welcome back, Munaf Patel - Hasan steps out and flogs him straight down the ground for four. Another boundary down to third-man, a streaky outside edge, and Hasan scampers a cheeky single with a clip to mid-wicket. Stunted lbw appeal against Rahim, but that jagged back and hit him right in the orchestras. Down he goes, he needs a couple of minutes to work that blow off. A couple of the Indian players having a chuckle about it. They might not be laughing in an hour or so. Patel finishes off the over after some in-deptth motivational chat from Dravid. Now is not the time for talking, now is time for doing.

"When I was at school, we managed a very respectable grand total of 14 only to lose by...one wicket."

31st over: 125-3
Tendulkar and his skipper Dravid have a conflab, the upshot of which is that Tendulkar is going to try a bit of spinnage. Or is he? Not really sure what he's doing, except bowling very slowly. Hasan clips Tendulkar to mid-on for one. The only way Bangladesh could look more comfortable is if they were batting in slippers. Leg-side wide by Tendulkar before Rahim gets a thick inside edge. Lucky.

30th over: 122-3
Maiden over from Zaheer but India need wickets, and they're really not posing too many questions at the moment.

"Funny cricket story for you: school cricket match and I'm fourth into bat and we are 0-3! They have this county bowler who has just taken a hat-trick and I walk in, my face white with fear. I must have been trembling so much as one of their slips (there were about five of them) goes 'fiver says he's out first ball', the next one says 'fiver says it'll hit him in the box, and the next one goes 'fiver says he isn't wearing a box!' I check and it appears I forgot the box. Next thing I know this 80mph bowler is steaming in, bang, 'WAHEY', out first ball. I think our team went on to make 27."
Dom Rae in the TMS inbox

29th over: 122-3
Tendulkar strays down leg-side and is flicked away for a single by Hasan. Very cosy this for Bangladesh, all very pop-gun by India.

"I've got a funny story. You heard the one about the amateurs and mish-mash of rank outsiders (Ireland and Bangladesh) who properly humiliated the various 'stars' they faced in the World Cup?"
Dean Naidoo in the TMS inbox

28th over: 118-3
Hasan runs on a misfield and India's fielding really isn't much cop. Rahim edges Agarkar and Sehwag is unable to stop the ball on the bounce and the ball runs away for one. Hasan slashes at one and is beaten, but that was a dirty great no-ball. Hasan is beaten again, however, and this is not plain-sailing for Bangladesh.

27th over:115-3
Anyone got any funny cricket stories, I need a bit of a fillip? Tendulkar and his wibbly-wobblies are wheeled into the attack and Bangladesh need 78 from 24 overs. That's not a big ask. Tendulkar bowling medium 'darts' rather than trying to impart any spin on the ball and he gets one past the horizontal bat of Rahim. Tendulkar, rather belatedly, goes up for an lbw shout but umpire Davis says no chance. Single from the over.

26th over: 114-3
Impertinent shot by Hasan, waiting on a Harbhajan delivery and scooping him over his shoulder like someone digging a grave. This Hasan can bat a bit, and he clips the bowler to mid-wicket for one. Rahim gets a couple with a glance to the fine-leg rope.

25th over: 109-3
Hasan latches on to a short one and hooks Agarkar to deep mid-wicket for a couple before timing him through the covers for another two. Rahim nicks the bowling with a clip down to fine-leg. Hasan gets one with a flick to leg and Bangladesh are looking pretty comfortable.

24th over: 102-3
Harbhajan sprawling in an attempt to field his own bowling, and Rahim scampers a single. It looked like he tried to trip Rahim up with his hand - no need for that.

"To Moyn Uddin: as a Northampton Saints RFC fan, I'm sick of hearing the words 'demolition by the Tigers (the nickname of our local rivals Leicester) at Northampton'. Especially the way our season is going. As it is, come on Bangladesh!"

23rd over: 101-3
Hasan ducks under an Agarkar bumper before swiping him down to fine-leg for one, like someone knocking away a wasp. Agarkar gets one past Rahim's bat, twice.

22nd over: 100-3
Rahim misses out on a Harbhajan full-bunger before nearly getting an inside edge to the fielder at short-leg. Rahim breaks the shackles, however, with a straight, steepling six. Bangladesh pass the ton and we are on for a big upset.

21st over: 94-3
Rank long-hop from Agarkar and Hasan throws the kitchen sink, the Smeg fridge-freezer and the Aga at it and gets four to point.

20th over: 88-3
Hasan has a big old mow at one, trying to cart Harbhajan down to cow corner and the ball just grazes his off-stump. He plays a more authentic stroke next up, timing Harbhajan straight down the ground for four. Bangladesh have slowed up, but they're still ticking over.

"With flute and drums in hand, I was privileged to witness the demolition of Pakistan by the Tigers at Northampton in May 1999. It did immeasurable good for Bangladesh cricket and this too will no doubt will be a further injection of confidence for the cricket-mad nation and its cricket."

Hasan pushes Agarkar into the covers and scampers a single. Bangladesh becalmed, but they don't really need to hurry.

Patel gets one past the bat of the shuffling Hasan. Hasan gets a single with a sketchy drive down to third-man.

17th over: 81-3
Apologies, I just gave Rahim out when it was actually Aftab who perished. Hasan is the new batsman and he gets off the mark with a sweep for one. Finely-balanced this.

16th over: WICKET - Aftab lbw b Patel 8, Bang 79-3
Aftab edges Patel to Dhoni but the gloveman puts down a difficult chance diving low and to his right. Sketchy cut for one by Aftab, the ball flying between gully and point and Rahim follows up with a crackerjack cut for four. However, Aftab is out next ball, attempting to mow Patel over long-on and getting himself caught plumb in front. Not a clever shot.

"Ben Dirs should try a slice of cake with a pot of delicately-perfumed tea at any time in the morning. Very decadent. Best enjoyed eaten from off the body of an 18th century Parisian courtesan."

15th over:74-2
Aftab is very nearly stumped, coming down the track and missing with an expansive swipe. Dhoni whips off the bails, but the man upstairs says not out. Aftab then gets a leading edge, but Harbhajan is unable to get a hand to it. Not really a chance.

"Afraid I have to disagree with you on the Topic issue. I've always thought of them as the delicious and upwardly-mobile brother of the Mars family. If it were a person, he'd wear a monocle, wear a pinstrip suit and read the Times. Whereas Mars would be more of a blue-collar Joe, who perhaps grafted in a steel mill along with his brother Snickers (who also runs marathons in his spare time). Naturally, every one else in the family would resent Topic for having ideas above his station and thinking he was above everyone else."
Kieran in the TMS inbox

14th over: WICKET - Iqbal c Dhoni b Patel 51, Bang 69-2
India have their man, Patel getting Iqbal to fence at one and Dhoni pouching the catch behind the timbers. The end of a terrific innings. New man Aftab is off the mark with a clip to leg. News in that England have fined 'several members' of their squad for a 'breach of discipline'. Apparently Monty Panesar got hammered, smashed up the hotel and drove the team bus into the swimming pool. Sorry, that last bit is not true.

13th over: 69-1
Dravid turns to the spin of Harbhajan and Rahim drives him through the covers for a couple. Tidy from Harbhajan, just two from the over. But India need wickets.

12th over: 67-1
Kiss my face, Iqbal laces Patel through the covers for another boundary and India are on the rack. Iqbal gets a warning from the umpire for running down the pitch. Iqbal is bigger than jungle, and, as we all know, jungle is massive. Iqbal reaches his fifty with another savage shot through extra-cover, Dravid unable to take a difficult catch. Looking at the replay, it was a bit half-hearted from the Indian skipper. Iqbal's fifty took 51 balls, and it was a little pearl.

"At this age they are not weighed down by expectation and Iqbal certainly looks fresh."

11th over: 60-1
Iqbal is, quite frankly, going ruddy berserk. He creams Zaheer through the covers for four before upper-cutting him for another boundary. The 17-going-on-37-year-old then advances down the track and smashes him over the wide long-on fence. Take that, and party.

10th over: 46-1
Leg-side wide by Patel and India are not exactly applying the thumb screws here. They are playing with all the intensity of a reluctant aunt playing charades after Christmas dinner. Iqbal climbs into Patel, smashing over the wide third-man fence. Patel gives it some natter, Iqbal gives some back. Lovely touch.

"This is one of the weakest fielding teams ever to come out of India."
Ashish Ray on TMS

9th over: 38-1
The florid Iqbal stands up and drives and gets a thick outside edge for one. Iqbal scampers a single after a clip to short mid-wicket.

8th over: 35-1
Patel is into the attack and he gets one past Rahim's bat. Good over that, a maiden, and that's just what his skipper Dravid would have ordered.

7th over: 35-1
India are convinced they've got Iqbal caught behind, the ball ricocheting off something and Sehwag snaffling in the slips. Umpire Davis, however, is having none of it and looks at the crazed Zaheer like he's just caught him trying to nick a DVD player from Dixons. Hit him on the back of the head, although there was a whiff of glove about it as well. Rahim then has a wild and windy woosh at one and misses before the precocious Iqbal plays a delightful square-drive for four. He then marches down the pitch and rat-a-tatting Zaheer straight over the top for four. Tasty. India in trouble here.

6th over: 27-1
We have a 17-year-old and and 18 year-old in the middle at the moment and these boys have cast iron guts. Lovely shot by Rahim, a nicely-timed cover-drive for a couple.

"I'm a Trinidadian studying at Loughborough Uni in England, and I haven't been home for over two and a half years.

Just looked at that again and it was marginal, looked like it was going over the top to me. Wicket-keeper Rahim has been promoted up the order - he's 18. When I was 18, I was bunking off double history.

Lovely flourish from Iqbal, eyes widening like saucers and slapping Agarkar to wide third-man for four. Iqbal then swivels on one and paddles Agarkar away for one. Untidy from India, too many cheap runs.

Not only would it be an altruistic move, but it would also add more atmosphere to the matches, benifiting all."

3rd over: 18-0
Thick outside edge from Iqbal earns him a single before Zaheer gets one past Nafees' horizontal blade. The old emails have dried up again. Think of a topic, any topic. You can ever talk about Topics if you want. Never liked Topics, very much the runt of the Mars litter. Nafees clips a single to square-leg before Iqbal flicks a single into the on-side.

2nd over: 11-0
Shoddy from Agarkar, who gives up five with a no-ball which runs away to the boundary. Six from the over and this is a pretty cosy start for Bangladesh.

1st over: 5-0
Players are back out and Zaheer gets one past the flashing blade of Iqbal. But Iqbal plays an absolute peche de la peche cover-drive for four to get off the mark. Otherwise a tidy first over by Zaheer.

INDIA INNINGS

50th over: WICKET - Patel c Razzak b Mortaza 15, India 191 all out
Biffda from Patel, slamming a full-bunger from Mortaza into the extra-cover fence. However, he is out with three balls still available, holing out to Razzak at cover. Not great by India, but you still fancy them. Mortaza finishes with 4-38 from 9.3 overs, Razzak took 3-38 and Rafique 3-36. Impressive bowling unit. See you in about 40 minutes.

49th over: 186-9
Nice shot by Zaheer, backing away and piercing the fielders backward of point. Zaheer tries to go over the top but doesn't quite get it, but the ball drops in no-man's land. Couple for the shot and eight from the over.

48th over: 178-9
No sign of the Carib Girls today, I thought Trinidad was their backyard. Someone called me a "sexy beast" when I mentioned them the other day. Or was it "sexist beast"? Patel edges Mortaza for four. The bowler is rudy annoyed, he wanted a slip in. The horse gallops across the field and a slip is in place. Chin music for Patel and umpire Davus calls a wide. Zaheer makes room, carves Patel to point and Aftab saves four. Couple for it. The announcement of the Pakistan score raises a chuckle in the stands. Bit of light relief for Indian fans.

47th over: 169-9
Patel sweeps Razzak for four - that's the first authentic stroke for a long while. Pakistan are 103-7 against Ireland! Minnowtastic. Six from the over, Patel nicks the bowling with a cheeky single.

46th over: WICKET - Agarkar c Rahim b Mortaza, India 159-9
And another! Mortaza, breaking the chain of left-arm tweakers, has Agarkar nibbling on his first delivery and is snapped up by Rahim behind the timbers. Patel is off the mark straightaway and Zaheer edges for one. Patel looks very rabbity to me, backing away from a Mortaza delivery.

45th over: WICKET - Harbhajan b Razzaq 0, India 159-8
That's four wickets for two runs, Harbhajan playing a very ordinary stroke and getting himself bowled by Razzaq. Billions groan, can India bat out the full 50. Zaheer is next in and Razzak almost traps him in front, but it pitched outside leg-stump. Wicket-maiden and India are up to their necks in it.

WICKET - Dhoni c Aftab b Raffique 0, 159-7
Oh my giddy aunt, the magnificently-maned Dhoni is out, tamely carving Raffique to Aftab at backward point. Agarkar is next man and he's lucky not to be given out, umpire Davis deciding the ball would have missed leg.

44th over: WICKET - Ganguly c Razzak b Rafique, Ind 158-6
India in disarray in Trinidad, Ganguly pulling Rafique straight to Razzaq at mid-wicket. All of India on Dhoni's shoulders now - are they broad enough? Harbhajan is next man in and he's off the mark with a flick to the leg-side.

43rd over: WICKET - Yuvraj c Bashar b Razzak 47, Ind 157-5
Yuvraj top-edges a sweep and Bashar takes the catch down at fine-leg. Dhoni, Arlo White tells me on TMS, is the David Beckham of India. Big old mane on him and a decent beard. Handsome chap, I'm quite jealous.

42nd over: 155-4
Huge hit by Yuvraj, coming down the track and smashing Raffique over mid-wicket for a maximum. Raffique serves up a full-bunger and Yuvraj gets another couple with a clip to wide long-on. Ganguly plays uppishly to mid-wicket but gets away with it.

41st over:
Stand and deliver from Ganguly, thrashing Razzak to the long-on fence. Yuvraj takes the hint, waiting on a ball from Razzak and pulling him to the mid-wicket boundary. That's 10 from the over.

40th over: 136-4
Yuvraj runs the ball down to third man for a single and he moves to 33. Four from the over and India's run-rate is now 3.38. They need to crank that up a notch to make themselves safe.

39th over: 132-4
Pakistan are 76-6 against Ireland over in Jamaica. Happy Paddy's Day. Ganguly scoops Rafique down to third man for a couple before Yuvraj punches him to long-off for one.

38th over: 128-4
Yuvraj pushes Hasan into the on-side and the batsman scamper a couple. One of these chaps needs to give it some biffda in a minute though. They have put on 56 so far though, 56 very valuable runs.

37th over: 124-4 More nudge and nurdle from Ganguly and Yuvraj, but neither of them getting stuck into the bowling as yet.

36th over: 122-4
Hasan is the cow, Ganguly and Yuvraj are the milkmaids. Ave Maria. Ganguly reaches fifty with a push into the covers. Six from the over.

Ganguly goes macho, striding down the pitch and slapping Rafique over his head for four. A couple more singles and India should be looking at something like 230 from here, although Dhoni might have other ideas if he gets in.

34th over: 108-4
Yuvraj, sweeps, in a very upright manner, down to the fine-leg boundary. A more authentic sweep races away for four. Lovely shot that.

"Crisps are unhealthy whatever time of day, so what does it matter if you eat them at 10am, four in the afternoon or two in the morning? It makes no difference." Matt Braithwaite (he sits opposite me)

"If you're at the cricket, then it's ok to eat junk food before 11am. I would say any other day, 11am is reasonable - unless it's greasy bacon, where any time is acceptable."

A couple for Dravid, lovely flick off his legs.

"On a BBC message board, people are offering silly derivations for a variety of things for Red Nose Day, here are my cricket related offerings: Third man - the fielder who is an expert on Graham Greene books. Slip fielder - a fielder who has performed poorly and so as a punishment is forced to wear a ladies under-garment over his cricket whites, sometimes to add to the insult this could be a tutu and then the fielder would be placed at silly point. Long-on - a fielder who needs a rather large box. Extra cover - see long-on. Mid-on - not as big a requirement as long on. Short-leg - a player who needs lifts on their shoes. Fine-leg - a fielder who has waxed the hairs on one leg and moisturises it regularly."

Tight stuff from Razzak, just one from the over. I recently discussed on this website when it was acceptable to eat crisps - a colleague regularly eats them before 10am. Despicable. When is it ok to eat a slice of fruit cake? Or a mini-pack of Jaffa Cakes? I'm saying 11am.

16th over: 50-3
Ganguly drops Rasel down to leg, new man Dravid is sent back, Bashar has a shie and the ball runs away for four overthrows. Ganguly then plays his best shot of the day, a crackerjack cut for four.

15th over: WICKET - Tendulkar c Rahim b Razzak 7, Ind 40-3
Razzak on for Mortaza, and we have some left-arm tweakage for your consideration. And the Big Man has gone! Tendulkar has got an inside edge onto his pad and Rahim has snaffled the catch behind the sticks. India have problems.

"To Richard Norman (see below): the fourth device you require is your mobile phone. Go to bbc.co.uk/mobile/sport and I'm sure you'll find a fourth sport on there to follow. Maybe the report of Andy Murray's match, or the F1 qualifying. Enjoy."
Lewis, assistant editor, BBC Sport

14th over: 35-2
Bit of hoop from Rasel, but Tendulkar pushes him to mid-off for a couple. Creamy, but India still in first gear. Players have a sup.

13th over: 34-2
There is a man in the stands painted green, white and orange and dancing like my nan at a funeral. He looks like an absolute wally brain. Just one leg-bye from the over, and it's not getting any easier for India.

12th over: 33-2
Nice shot from Ganguly, pushing Rasel into the covers for a couple. He follows up with a clip to square for another two, before getting a thick outside edge for one.

"Nice start by Bangladesh - it would be good for cricket if they could pull this one out of the hat! This World Cup needs an upset - and the earlier the better."

11th over: 28-2
Classic Tendulkar, whipping Mortaza to the square-leg boundary to get off the mark. He's wry, he's spry, he's crisp and dry. Is Ganguly after Sunil Gavaskar's record for slowest World Cup innings ever? Five from 35 so far. Move over Chris Tavare.

"How's about this for a scene? A New York morning: snow covers the streets, ice hangs off the branches of the trees - and I'm sitting in front of my laptop, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, barely able to believe that Bangladesh are doing the business against India."
Nick in the TMS inbox

"Plucky Bangladesh look like the best of the minnows in the tournament at the moment and if they stay on top for another 15 overs, it could be interesting! That said, I fear India will unleash a bag of big hits late on and will be on course to post 250 after the 50 overs. You mark my words." Jonty, Coventry, in the TMS inbox

10th over: 24-2
Ganguly, clearly frustrated, tries to give it some humpty dumpty but misses with a wild swipe. Maiden over, and Bangladesh are tightening their grip.

"I always feel that if you can remember your karaoke repertoire then you were definitely too sober to have attempted it in the first place. The same goes for kebabs."

"I have Man Utd v Bolton on the radio, Six Nations rugby on the TV and keeping an eye on the cricket via the internet. Any other devices I can use to watch a fourth sport?"

9th over: 24-2
Mortaza posing plenty of questions to Ganguly, getting one to jag back and hit him in the breadbasket. Mortaza then has Tendulkar in trouble, nipping one back and going up for lbw. Umpire Dar looks at Mortaza like he might someone he's caught throwing eggs at his car.

8th over: 23-2 Ganguly has a cut, but once again he is frustrated by some good fielding from Aftab at backward point. Ganguly lunges and gets a thick inside edge for one down to fine leg. India struggling here.

"Get in the Bengos! Great start from our useful new-ball partnership. We're going to go all the way this year - just wish we had some funky tiger stripes on our kit as in previous World Cups."
Mahdi Choudhury in the TMS inbox

"I hope they replace Sehwag with Pathan for the next game, there is no point to the 'persisting with Sehwag' experiment any more."

7th over: WICKET - Uthappa c Aftab b Rasel 9, Ind 21-2 Any chat welcome from you lot, whatever the topic. That's me admitting I haven't had an email for a ruddy age. Ganguly clips Rasel to third man for one before Uthappa gets a couple to the same area. But Uthappa is out, slicing to Aftab at backward point. Whoops-a-daisy, Martin Haysey, India in some strife. Tendulkar is next in, an Rasel has a good lbw shout turned down first up. Tendulkar gets a lively one next up and Bangladesh are very much in this.

5th over: 17-1 By no means full at the Queen's Park Oval and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a school fete. Mortaza cuts Ganguly in half with a good delivery before Ganguly has a wild and windy woosh at one. Mortaza gets one past Uthappa's outside edge, and the bowler has an lbw shout turned down. Big stride from Uthappa, but good shout nonetheless. First four of the match from Uthappa, who moves to seven.

4th over: 13-1 A few people asking what I sang last night at the Chinese karaoke bar. I vaguely recall singing Hold Me Now by the Thompson Twins and Labour of Love by Hue and Cry. Uthappa moves to three with a flick to leg. Ganguly clips to leg for a single and this is a cagey old start by India.

3rd over: WICKET - Sehwag b Mortaza 2, Ind 6-1
Sehwag's woeful run continues, playing on to a seemingly innocuous ball from Mortaza. That could be Sehwag's last go at this World Cup, he's batting like me at the moment. Uthappa is next up the ramp, and he's off the mark with a drive into the covers. Mortaza having a few problems with his run-up, another longish over.

"A heavy night trying to master the words of The East Is Red followed by the haunting ballad We Will Increase Production of the Steel Mill for our Great Leader is enough to put any man under the cosh."

2nd over: 6-0 Absolute jaffer from Rasel, pitching and jagging away from Ganguly. Rasel does it again and Ganguly looks like Mr Magoo out there at the moment. Maiden over, and a good one from Rasel.

1st over: Ind 6-0 Mortaza to have first bung for Bangladesh and he gives up a couple of wide. And then there was chaos - Ganguly calling Sehwag through for a quick single, Ganguly giving Mortaza a forearm smash, Sehwag colliding with a fielder and just making his ground. Apparently Bad Manners are still touring. Buster Bloodvessel runs a hotel for fat people in Margate. Nine-ball first over and six runs from it.

1330 GMT: Players are out and Ganguly is opening with Sehwag.

1328 GMT: Minute's silence in Trinidad for Bangladeshi spinner Manjural Islam who was killed yesterday in a road accident. Islam was a probable for the Bangladeshi World Cup squad.

1327 GMT: No Pathan for India. That's a surprise for me, I think he's a quality cricketer. No Kumble either, or Sreensanth.

1325 GMT: India captain Rahul Dravid has elected to bat after winning the toss. Here's the teams:

India: Rahul Dravid (captain), Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Robin Uthappa, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Dhoni, Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel.

Bangladesh: Habibul Bashar (captain), Shahriar Nafees, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Sakib al Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafee Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Syed Russel.

1322 GMT: Someone's just told me that Herschelle Gibbs hit six sixes last night. Malcolm Nash must be absolutely rubbered this morning.

1317 GMT: Right, I'm going to level with you, I was in a Chinese karaoke bar last night until very late. That's not big, it's not even clever. I only mentioned it because it's going to be a tough old day and I need some chat from you lot - get those emails in. Please.

1312 GMT: Morning all. News is that Sehwag is opening with Tendulkar, although we're not sure if that's right. Hope that's helpful.
