    11.3 spliced up, and Mustafizur plucks it out of the air! Dug in for the third ball running, this time nipping back towards leg stump. Cramps Zeeshan for room, even as he looks to back away and swat it down the ground. A bit of extra bounce too, meaning that Zeeshan miscues his attempt. Mustafizur runs back to his left from mid wicket and snares the chance smartly over his shoulder. Top effort, and Tanzim has two! 71/3
    1.3 huge appeal for a caught-behind, and Taskin is very, very interested! Rath will be thinking 'ah, here we go again!' And Bangladesh do go upstairs! Length ball in the channel and this decks away a smidgen. Rath, caught on the crease, looks to go straight and the ball, this time, is a lot closer to the outside edge. A lot closer than it was against Afghanistan definitely. And hang on. Hang on...There is a clear spike too when the ball is next to the bat. A flipping of the script for Rath but the outcome remains the same - he walks back having been adjudged caught-behind. Taskin on the board! 7/1
    4.4 stumps rattled, and Tanzim celebrates in Hayat's face! This is a beautiful delivery. Starting on middle stump and then swerving away devilishly. Hayat hares down the track, trying to work it to leg but misses the line completely because of the late swing. Middle and off stump are pegged back, and Tanzim seemed to enjoy that one, especially having been swatted down the ground a ball earlier! 30/2
    18.5 holes out to long on, and Rishad has the last laugh! Rishad holds this back on middle and leg, perhaps after sensing the charge. Nizakat, despite advancing, is therefore unable to get to the pitch of the ball. He has to reach out in front, meaning he does not generate the requisite power. Tanzim scurries to his left, tracks it all the way and snaffles up the chance. A scratchy knock, but it did yield 42 runs for Hong Kong! 134/5
    17.1 run out by a country mile! Off-pace on a back of a length outside off. Nizakat jabs it towards extra cover and then sees his captain hurtle towards him. Nizakat did not even contemplate a single and the only thing he showed signs of running was when his captain was almost next to him. The throw goes to the bowler's end and Mustafizur does the rest, with Murtaza stranded half-way down the track! 117/4
    19.2 goes a mile up, and pouched by Jaker! Slower ball on a length on middle and leg, and Aizaz is deceived completely by the lack of pace. Swings too early and shovels it way up. The ball comes down with snow on it and when it does, Jaker makes no mistake. Hong Kong losing their way towards the end! 136/7
    18.6 rapped in front, and the finger goes up! Reviewed by Kinchit because, well, why not! Back of a length on middle and this seems to just hold in the surface a touch. Kinchit has a wild slog at it and the bat ends up in a different post code to the ball. He gets pinged on the back thigh, while down on the sweep, and this seems to be pretty adjacent. Ball Tracking confirms that suspicion, and has the ball crashing into the middle of middle stump. That might have to be filed under the optimistic reviews section! 134/6

    2.6 touches the moon, and gets snapped up by deep mid wicket! Slower ball on a full length outside off. Emon's eyes light up looking at the length but he does not pick the variation at all. Goes at it too early and the bottom hand comes off as a result. Hayat settles himself under the high ball and sends Emon on his way. Ayush is pumped, and why shouldn't he be! 24/1
    5.4 catch it is the cry, and taken brilliantly by Nizakat! Fullish just outside off and this seems to nip away just a smidgen. Tanzid wants to go down the ground but the movement means that he cuts across his stroke a little too much. Nizakat, running back from mid off, seems to misjudge it initially but then redeems himself to gobble it up over his right shoulder. Superb grab, and Hong Kong have their second wicket! 47/2
    17.1 chopped on, and Litton cannot finish off the job for Bangladesh! The Bangladesh captain has effectively sealed this game, but cannot quite do the honours of taking them past the line. This is full just outside off. Litton looks to demolish it over the bowler's head and only manages an inside edge that cannons into his stumps. That looked like a tired shot too, but take nothing away from a match-winning knock! 142/3
