4:47 pm: Bangladesh's lower order have managed to squeeze water from stone at the end to take the score to a respectable 155. The bowling was good and so was the fielding. But a few streaky runs and the odd boundaries helped the hosts get 24 in the last two overs. It was Litton, who set things up. He propelled the innings after a slow start that wasn't going anywhere mid-innings. Rashid was excellent and Fazal looks a genuine find for the tourists. Have they done enough to keep Afghanistan in the game despite the late runs? Find out as Himanshu is set to take over for the chase, which begins soon.
