END OF OVER:

  • Mohammad Saleem4.2-0-36-0
  • Azmatullah Omarzai6-0-39-1

7.45pm 164 is the revised target for Afghanistan to chase.

7.32pm So Afghanistan will surely be the happier side after the first innings. The Bangladesh openers looked good but once Farooqi got Tamim Iqbal to nick off, it was almost a one-way slide, with Towhid Hridoy's fighting fifty the only reprieve for Bangladesh. Two rain interruptions saw the game cut down to 43 overs a side. Rashid Khan was excellent for his two wickets, as was Mujeeb. Farooqi picked up three as well, but went off with a back injury and Afghanistan will hope it's nothing too serious. Join us again shortly, after a 20-minute break.

Mohi_BD: "So, what will be the target for Afg ? 170 or it will be revised?" The target will be revised. We will update you as soon as we know it! It should be around 164, but we will confirm that soon.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Towhid Hridoy, OUT, Edged and gone! Goes short outside off and Hridoy takes a few steps forward and across before trying to cut. The width wasn't quite there on offer and he can only manage an edge that Gurbaz is happy to gobble up! A valiant effort from Hridoy comes to an end

Rashid Khan to Hasan Mahmud, no run, Big appeal as Rashid beats Mahmud's attempted flick and raps him on the pads. Afghanistan review it! This pitched on a length on middle and went straight, hitting Mahmud flush on the front pad. No bat involved for sure. Was this sliding down leg? "Umpire's call" it is on Hawkeye! Mahmud survives
