Play on day 2 commenced after yet another 90-minute delay, because of fog and bad light, akin to the opening day. And it took Bangladesh a ball less than eight overs to polish off the Indian tail. Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 105, his knock comprising 11 hits to the fence and two huge ones over it. The ace batsman began the day with a flourish. Unbeaten on 76 overnight, he took seven runs off the day's first over (by Hossain), including a pull to the square leg fence. In the next over (by Shakib) he danced down the pitch and lofted the ball over mid-on for yet another boundary. With just two wickets left, the 36-year-old realized that he had to take a calculated risk at some point and made his intentions clear at the outset. The last ball of Shakib's next over went beyond the mid-on...
