10.05am Well, not too much of a delay. It's toss time now. Mashrafe tosses the coin, Kohli calls heads, and it's heads. India will bowl first. "Looks like a fresh wicket, should stay the same throughout," Kohli says. "And it's a bit overcast as well - that could play a big role." India are unchanged.

Mashrafe says he would have liked to bowl too. "We want to go further, last 2-3 years we have improved a lot. 2015 World Cup also we went through (the group). This time it's time to go further." Bangladesh are unchanged too.

10.30am The hover cover is off, and we have our first look at the pitch. It seems to have a nice, even cover of grass on it, though it isn't a particularly green grass. According to the broadcasters' drone pitch analysis - don't ask me how it works - it's quite dry, and should spin a bit.

10.35am Anthem time. Wonder what Rabindranath Tagore, who wrote both teams' anthems, would make of this.

Jacob: "10 times of b.kumar strikes in his first over and India won 9 of them. " -- I've not checked the stat, but it sounds legit. Anyway, there seems to be a light drizzle falling.
