England World Cup winner and Fulham right-back George Cohen dies, aged 83

Bangladesh began on a bright note with Taijul’s triple strikes keeping a tight lid on India’s scoring in the morning session. He became only the second Bangladesh cricketer, after Shakib, to dismiss India’s top-three in an innings. However, that was only the beginning of a two-hour toil for the hosts as Pant and Iyer threw caution to the wind. He then went on to raise both the impending milestones – 150 of the fifth-wicket partnership and India’s 250 – with a four each. Brief scores:Bangladesh 227 & 7/0, trail India 314 (Rishabh Pant 93, Shreyas Iyer 87; Taijul Islam 4-75, Shakib al Hasan 4-79) by 80 runs.

Chelsea’s fans applauded their players off at the final whistle despite this damaging defeat, putting aside their disappointment as they understood the current situation facing manager Potter. This is a club in transition under new owner Todd Boehly, with the Chelsea hierarchy operating a somewhat scattergun transfer policy, and a newly-arrived manager in Potter attempting to put his stamp on this team. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the early substitute for Sterling but suffered the ignominy of being substituted late on.
