4.50pm Bangladesh have won six out of 10 times batting first in Mirpur, in the last five years. 257 is actually well above their average 235 score batting first in Mirpur, in the last five years. So everything points to an interesting second half. Join us in 30 minutes.
4.45pm Shakib and Tamim got a semblance of a partnership but when scoring had reduced to a crawl, Mushfiqur got them going again. It's a pity he missed out on a hundred, but Bangladesh have somehow recovered well through Afif to post a competitive score. Whether that is going to be enough, only time will tell.

Chameera to Mohammad Saifuddin, FOUR, he's picked the gap between deep midwicket and wide long-on! Stood still, deep in the crease and then clobbered the length ball using his wrists as it arrived, terrific stuff.

Udana to Afif Hossain, FOUR, it's a reverse scoop from Afif and he clears short third! Isuru goes full and wide, Afif is lining him up to play over short fine but makes the late adjustment as he gently opens the bat face to scoop it the other side
