       and that's lunch on day two
       first session clearly belonged to Bangladesh, India in a spot of
        bother at 102/3
       earlier in the day Baisya and Mortaza bowled really well, they
        never allowed the Indian batsmen to settle
       Sehwag was the first to go, trapped lbw by Baisya and Dravid
        followed soon bowled by a Mortaza beauty
       Gambhir was looking solid but a mix-up going for a single cost him
        his wicket
       Tendulkar is still out there but he was dropped twice(on 28 and
        47), once by the Bangladesh captain and on the second occasion by
        Rajin Saleh
       all in all a good fighting effort from the Bangladeshi bowlers

       Tea has been taken at the fall of Ganguly's wicket. A session whcih

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the third day's play
       Yesterday was another big day for Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar
        scored his 34th Test century and equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record.
       Match wise India is in a strong position, they now lead by 164 runs
        with 3 wickets in hand
       Tendulkar is still out there and looking good for a double hundred,
        41 more needed now
       Today also play will start half-an-hour early to make up for the
        time lost on the first two days
       The cracks are intact, pitch should get slower as the day
        progresses and the spinners should get some assistance but all in
        all still a good batting wicket.
       once again the weather looks good, humidity bit high but nothing
        unusual
       the new ball is 15 overs old, Tapash Baisya will start the
        proceeding
       bowling over the wicket to Tendulkar, two slips and a gully in
        place
  95.1 Tapash Baisya to Tendulkar, two runs, turned away nicely to the
        vacant deep midwicket region, 350 up!

        side, Tendulkar fails to get some bat on it, ball clips the pad

        outside the off stump, Tendulkar moves forward and flays it away

        throw comes in at the keeper's end but Mashud fails to collect it
