Second Innings Bulletin: Bermuda Vs India
Bermuda's tail wagged before succumbing to Tendulkar and Kumble as Bermuda posted 156 runs against India -- their highest score in this tournament.
Even so, India's margin of victory, 257, was a record for the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Hero David Hemp remained unbeaten on 76, a fine innings.
Kumble got the last wicket, having teenager Malachi Jones LBW.
Before that, Sachin Tendulkar came on and broke a 44-run partnership that had India at wit's end for more than 10 overs.
Dwayne Leverock left the field to applause after he was caught behind by Dhoni for a stubborn 9.
His place was taken by 17-year-old Malachi Jones, who was in tears after taking a wicket with his first ball in the ICC Cricket World Cup, that of Robin Uthappa, caught, incidentally, by the man whose place he took at the crease.
40 OVER BULLETIN: India tangled up in Bermuda tail
Bermuda's 9th wicket partnership between David Hemp and Dwayne Leverock put on 43 runs, frustrating India as they tried to polish off the ICC Cricket World Cup debutants.
In the 41st over they were 153/8, posting their highest score of the tournament, including the warm-up match against Zimbabwe.
India were a bowler short and with Virendra Sehwag filling in the 5th bowler's role and the other four tired after long spells, India's attack leaked precious runs.
India's bowling woes shone through Zaheer's second-last over, which Leverock played out with ease -- or rather did not play out at all, all the balls being pitched outside off.
David Hemp at the other end played normally and compiled 73 as India showed little aggression.
35 OVER BULLETIN: India on course but...
India's batting fired but their bowling struggled to shut down Bermuda as they tried desperately to shut them down.
Having lost its first match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 to Bangladesh, India needed a huge margin of victory and though they got it, they conceded 50 runs more to Bermuda than Sri Lanka did.
After 35 overs Bermuda were 131/8 with David Hemp unbeaten on a fine 62 and Leverock, who was blocked Kumble effectively, on 6.
32 OVER BULLETIN: Agarkar breaks through
Ajit Agarkar got two wickets in an over and then a third in his next one to begin Bermuda's endgame.
He sent back first Dean Minors, then Lionel Cann and then Kevin Hurdle as Bermuda were 106/5 to 110/8 in the 32nd over.
Meanwhile David Hemp became the first Bermudan to hit a 50 in an ICC Cricket World Cup. He was unbeaten on 53 with 7 fours and a six.
Hemp brought up his 50 with a boundary off Kumble.
Dean Minors lifted Agarkar for a six over square leg before falling to him, caught by substitute Dinesh Karthick. This ended a great 43-run partnership Minors shared with David Hemp.
Cann stood his ground after Uthappa claimed a catch off Agarkar at cover, but was given out by umpire Aleem Dar.
Agarkar's third came when he bowled Kevin Hurdle for a duck.
This brought in crowd favourite Dwayne Leverock who glided Agarkar to the fine leg boundary for 4 -- a stroke applauded as loudly as any other played today.
25 OVER BULLETIN: Bermuda make progress
Bermuda's batsmen played better than they had against either England in their warm-up or Sri Lanka in their opening match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 as they played out 20 overs, ensuring that this match will finish today.
After 27 overs they were 93/5, courtesy mainly a fine knock by David Hemp who was on his way to becoming to first Bermudan to score a half-century in the ICC CWC.
India's bowling lacked the teeth that Lanka showed and though they had the match under control, they struggled to shut the Bermuda team out.
David Hemp in particular was enjoying his innings, and on 34 hit a couple of cover drives off Munaf that were quite memorable, to take him to 42.
In an earlier over he flashed Munaf to send the ball over Sehwag at slip for another boundary.
After
20 OVER BULLETIN: Enter Kumble
Anil Kumble struck twice in two overs to have Bermuda reeling after what seemed like a period of consolidation.
At one stage Bermuda were 47/2 before they lost three quick wickets, the first going to Munaf.
Kumble first got Irvine Romaine as he shouldered arms to a straight one. He was out LBW to leave Bermuda 61/4 at the end of the 17th over.
In Kumble's next over, Janeiro Tucker was first struck on the pads to survive an LB shout and next ball walked across his wicket to be bowled.
David Hemp was batting well on 27 off 35 balls with one fantastic six off Agarkar.
15 OVER BULLETIN: Bermuda lose third
Deloyne Borden got a poor decision to be given out LBW to Munaf Patel as Bermuda were 3 down in the 14th over.
Next over, David Hemp clattered Agarkar over cover for six to take the score to 54/3.
Hemp was looking in good shape and with the Indian bowling lacking the edge that Lanka had, Bermuda looked more comfortable this match than they did in their first one.
10 OVER BULLETIN: Bermuda 2 down
Rahul Dravid brought on Munaf Patel in place of Agarkar as Bermuda moved to 34/2
David Hemp was in after Zaheer struck again after taking a wicket in his first over.
Borden was playing on 9.
Hemp played a fine drive off wayward Agarkar to get a boundary, the third of the innings for Bermuda.
Zaheer was pulled off the backfoot by Outerbridge through mid-on for 4, a fine shot, before he pitched the next one much higher to castle Outerbridge
5 OVER BULLETIN: Zaheer strikes, Agarkar off target
Bermuda were 11/1, resuming after rain stopped play.
Ajit Agarkar's radar was awry, and he made the batsmen play little as his balls skidded out after being pitched outside off.
Zaheer at the other end was more accurate and also the taker of the sole wicket to fall in the first 5 overs.
Zaheer struck in his first over to have Bermuda 0/1 in the first over, chasing 414, before rain delayed play for 10 minutes.
Rain was coming down in drizzles as Bermuda began the chase and India need to put in 20 overs if the match is to end today.
Bermuda were 9/1 in the 4th over when play was stopped, having lost Pitcher who was bowled by Zaheer off the first over's last ball.
India needed to get Bermuda out for as little as possible to improve their chances of qualifying on run rate.
