11.1 massive mix-up, and Abhishek bites the dust! Oh dear! Off-cutter on a back of a length on middle and off. SKY stays leg side of the ball and dabs it towards backward point. Rishad hurls himself to his left and that causes an almighty confusion between the batters. Not sure what exactly happened but the end result is that Abhishek has to hurtle back from half-way down the track. Abhishek sprawls and for all money, he seems to be short. But Mustafizur might have made a slight mess of the collection and subsequent breaking of the stumps. The first angle is not very conclusive and it seems Mustafizur might have broken the stumps with the hand that did not have the ball. The third umpire has another look at it and is happy that Mustafizur did break the stumps when the ball was in his hands. Abhishek has to go! 112/3

6.2 this goes a mile up, and gobbled up by Tanzim! Brave, brave bowling by Rishad. He dangles the carrot again outside off and Gill bites. He looks to take Rishad downtown but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. Has to reach out a little and that means he clinks it off the toe-end. Tanzim settles under it at long off, and does the rest. An enterprising cameo, but Bangladesh finally have something to show for their decision to bowl first! 77/1

8.1 straight down long off's throat, and the Dube experiment falls flat on its face! Like he did with Gill, Rishad tosses this up outside off, enticing the big hit. This is a googly, though, and Dube, trying to go over long on, cuts across it a little too much. Spoons it to Hridoy, and Rishad has two wickets in consecutive overs. Not quite panic stations for India, but this is a good spell for Bangladesh! 83/2

11.6 nicked and gone! Oh wait - the umpire has not given it, and Jaker has taken this upstairs! This is a shortish delivery, sliding down leg. Seems like an off-cutter and SKY, in real time, seemed to get more than a feather through to Jaker. Well, there was a clear deflection in real time as well, but somehow, the umpire was unmoved. Replays confirm that suspicion. Clear deflection and an even clearer spike on UltraEdge, and Bangladesh go bang-bang again! Excellent grab by Jaker to his left as well, it must be added, and India in a slight spot of bother! 114/4

19.6 caught on the fence, and Bangladesh have, rather remarkably, kept India down to under 170! Misses the wide yorker on the shorter side but still gets it full enough to deny Hardik leverage. He gives it all he has, almost swishing himself off his feet, but scuffs it straight to long off. Saifuddin, who had endured a tough day until a few minutes ago, pops up with a four-run 20th over, and Bangladesh will be chuffed with this effort! 168/6

14.3 this goes way up, and straight into deep mid wicket's palms! Seems like another off-pace delivery, on a length on middle and leg. Tilak looks for that favoured pick-up shot of his but he does not have a lot of pace to work with. Hitting to the bigger side of the ground as well, and he shanks it towards Saif, who settles under the high ball and then completes the catch with a slight dive forward. India losing their way! 129/5

17.2 shanked again, and Axar, after a couple of bites at the cherry, does hold on! Saif's vigil comes to an end, and India are nearly there now! Zipped in full just outside off. Saif wants to go downtown because, well, he has no other choice. Not quite off the middle of the bat, though, and that brings Axar into play at long on. He stands side-on while stood on the fence, and has one eye on the cushion. He juggles it once but then holds his nerve enough to take the rebound. Bumrah has his second, and India have finally held on to a catch! 116/9

1.2 goes straight up, and Bumrah is on the board! Of course he is! Back of a length, starting just outside leg and then shaping away. Holds in the surface slightly too and Tanzid, trying to flick it through mid wicket, gets his shot all wrong. The ball skews up off the leading edge and Dube, running in from mid on, does the rest. Bumrah breaks through early, and normal service, as far as he is concerned, has resumed! 4/1

6.2 skewed a mile up, and Kuldeep, like he has done all throughout the tournament, breaks through! This is pushed through on a shorter length and seems to have more revs too. Lots of overspin, meaning the ball grips in the surface and then bounces a tad extra. Emon has the broom out again but on this occasion, he only manufactures a top edge. Simple catch for Abhishek at deep mid wicket, and India break a threatening stand! 46/2

9.4 Hridoy wants a piece of Axar too, but he holes out to long on! Courageous bowling by Axar, it must be said. He floats this up slightly on off stump, and gets the ball to drop. Hridoy is nowhere near the pitch of the ball but swings at it anyway. The ball holds, spins away a touch and then balloons off the toe-end. Abhishek, stationed well inside the fence, makes no mistake, and India keep chipping away! 65/3

10.4 leg stump out of the ground, and Varun hits back! Fizzed through on a fullish length on middle stump. Shamim backs away, trying to go inside out. Misses the line of the ball completely, though, and it sneaks past the outside edge of his bat before flattening leg stump. Subdued celebration by Varun, but that is another vital wicket at this stage! 74/4

12.3 has Jaker been run out?! Oh yes, he has! And by quite a margin too! India's captain turns it on! Fullish outside off. Saif jabs it into the off side and calls for the single to get to his fifty. Jaker, though, is always struggling to get there and SKY hurtles in from extra cover, picking it up and then throwing down the stumps with an under-arm motion. Jaker well short of his ground, despite sprawling across the turf, and Bangladesh are five down now! 87/5

15.2 a bit of a bobble at long on, but Tilak holds on! Varun with another! Speared in on a back of a length outside off. Zips off the surface and this seems to rush Saifuddin on the cross-batted hack. Cloths it and arrows it flat towards long on. Tilak does not indulge in the cleanest of collections, but for the moment, that scrappy grab will do. Bangladesh six down! 109/6

16.1 this touches the moon, and when it comes down, Tilak is there to snare it! Kuldeep lobs this up on a length on leg stump. Rishad cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it and tries to hit it into next week. Gets under it way too much, though, and only gets the height he desires. Tilak settles under it at deep mid wicket and sends Rishad packing. Bangladesh staring down the barrel now! 112/7

16.2 and Tanzim is the latest batter out! Most top order batters do not have a clue about Kuldeep's variations, let alone a lower-order batter trying to swing from the hip off the first ball. Kuldeep lands this on a length on middle and leg, and the googly spins just enough to beat Tanzim's swinging blade. Middle stump pegged back and Kuldeep, all of a sudden, is on a hat-trick! 112/8

19.3 there it is! India waltz into the final, Bangladesh go into a knockout clash with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, defending Asia Cup champions in this format, are out! Back of a length outside off. Mustafizur sticks to his brief of swinging as hard as he possibly can. Gets a decent chunk of this too but does not find the elevation he wants. Arrowed straight to Axar at long off, and India canter to yet another win at this year's Asia Cup! 127/10
