Believe me, stars!!! Hoping for almost a 20 overs game." Unlikely to get a full game, but we'll get most of the overs in. Hitesh: "Dont Miss Rabada's catch guys...Seeing some good thirlling cricket AUS vs SA....." Stunning catch, similar to Vettori's against West Indies in the 2015 World Cup.

"The Bangladesh players are taking a few ginger steps where the covers are still on - cow corner with a right-hand batsman facing from the press box end. If that part of the ground doesn't offer too much bother, we might actually get pretty close to a full game. One of the umpires is also making his way around the ground, checking how it feels underfoot." Sharada: "Have to give it to BCB. They really have created a top notch stadium. With so much crowd support, this is how a board should work." Ethan: "The Cricket stadium in Kolkata has a lot to learn from this Shere Bangla Stadium!"
