India 0-0 Bangladesh
50': India on the front foot as expected
Much like the first half, India begins the second on the front foot, and they will get opportunities.
The important question is, can they convert it?

We're underway at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan, for the second half.

Halftime: India 0-0 Bangladesh
Its all square at the interval as both teams head in for a break.
India have been much the better side for most of the half, creating good chances but their lack of composure in front of goal means the scoreline doesn't reflect the way India have played.
Bangladesh have largely looked to play on the counter-attack but except for a few nervy moments for the Indian defence, they have barely troubled the Blue Colts.

India 0-0 Bangladesh
40': Five mins to halftime
India will be the happier side but the only consolation Bangladesh can have is that the score is still 0-0.
With five minutes and added time left in the first half, can India create and convert one chance?
