Rohit Sharma struck a century to help India on their way to 302-6 from their 50 overs in this morning's Cricket World Cup quarter-final meeting against Bangladesh.
The Men in Blue made a somewhat cautious start to their innings, although some solid batting saw them rack up 75 runs before Shikhar Dhawan (30) was sent packing by Shakib Al-Hasan, who had replaced Nasir Hossain on bowling duties.
Star man Virat Kohli departed soon after having claimed just three runs of his own, falling well short of his 127-run average against Bangladesh to help the Tigers get a real grip on the last-eight tie.
India's third wicket fell when Ajinkya Rahane (19) mis-timed a shot straight to Al-Hasan at mid-off, but India continued to pile on the runs thanks in large to the work of Sharma.
The 27-year-old finally saw his impressive time at the crease come to a halt by Taskin Ahmed just moments after Suresh Raina (19) was himself caught out, but only after he had built up 137 runs at the MCG.
MS Dhoni was the final man to fall for six runs having struggled to really get going with the bat, while Ravindra Jadeja (23) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3) remained not out to leave Bangladesh with a hefty target to chase down.
