- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.6 that looks like the end for Tamim. Third umpire looking at a run-out appeal. Tamim doesn't even wait. Clipped that to deep square's right and wanted to come back for the second. Was forced to put in a slide but the throw came in nicely on the bounce and Tamim was caught well short despite his effort 71/114.4 holes out to long-on! Beats him in flight for the second time in a row, and this time he'll have him caught. Length on middle stump, steps out and doesn't get to the pitch of this. Looks to whip it over the wide long-on boundary, but it comes off the toe end. The fielder runs in and holds on 98/314.3 direct hit from Shadab! Oh that's superb work! Googly at middle stump, steps out and looks for the flick. Gets a leading edge towards long-off. Shadab runs after it himself, puts in a slide to get around it, picks up cleanly and quickly throws it back to hit the base of the non-striker's stumps. He was the only one convinced he'd got his man there as the rest of the ground was focused on Bangladesh getting a third run through the ricochet. But it was sent upstairs and it is out. Superb work from Pakistan's best fielder 98/217.4 slams middle stump! First international wicket for Rauf and it is trademark. 144kph length ball at middle stump. Afif does the mistake of heaving across this. It is way too quick to be doing that with his front leg in the leg side. Slides into the stumps 119/418.5 hits leg stump. Completely deceived Soumya with an offcutter. Length and at middle stump. He backs into the leg side and shapes to drag this in the square leg direction. But he is through the shot woefully early. Completely outdone 128/5Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL141/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Tamim Iqbal, 10.6 ov), 2-98 (Litton Das, 14.3 ov), 3-98 (Mohammad Naim, 14.4 ov), 4-119 (Afif Hossain, 17.4 ov), 5-128 (Soumya Sarkar, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 given out caught behind and Babar reviews it. Length ball with a hint of shape away. But then it lands and goes straight on. Babar looks to drive for the one that keeps going away and this seems to have kisses the inside edge. UltraEdge confirms. Babar Azam is gone for a duck. Low take in front by Liton and stunned silence in the ground. That's the review gone too 0/111.5 taken at long-off. For the second time he induces a false shot from Ahsan with a loopy wide delivery. His instinct seems to be to try and pummel it on the rise every time it's there, but on this pitch that is practically impossible. Slices it high and it's taken just beyond the circle 81/34.6 taken at short extra cover! Oh you don't play that shot against Mustafiz. Short of a length ball cutting away from leg stump. Always a risk closing the face against that, especially on this pitch. Hafeez does exactly that, wants to get the single in the square leg region. It's an easy loopy ball for the fielder 35/216.3 that should be out. Length in the corridor, wants to drive through cover on the up. Does it from inside the line and gets an outside edge. Liton goes for it low in front, with a dive. Soft signal is out. That should be fairly clear, clean take 117/418.1 past his shin and into the stumps. That slower short ball just does not rise. He's shaped to pull this but it dips down as it nears him and comprehensively beats the shot 133/5Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL142/5 (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.28)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Babar Azam, 0.2 ov), 2-35 (Mohammad Hafeez, 4.6 ov), 3-81 (Ahsan Ali, 11.5 ov), 4-117 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 16.3 ov), 5-133 (Imad Wasim, 18.1 ov)
