11.02pm Right then, that will be that from Chattogram today. We had rain breaks, but some good cricket in between. Hopefully less of the former and more of the latter when we return on Saturday for the second ODI. Until then, thanks and goodnight! This is Abhimanyu, signing off on behalf of Ekanth and Venkat and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo.

10.55pm Time for the presentation ceremony.

Now, Shahidi: "I think our bowlers did very well. Stuck to plans and on the field we were very good. Nabi's catch changed the game for us. [On the chase] The way Gurbaz and Ibrahim started, that's what we were expecting from them. Told them to not rush, score is not that bad. Have to play accordingly. Just play out the first ten overs and leave the risk to other players. [On Farooqi] He's okay, it was just cramps. He will recover [ahead of the next game]."

Player of the match, Fazalhaq Farooqi, with Shahidi translating: "I wanted to bowl in right areas. My aim was that and I achieved that."

Tamim Iqbal (and this is not verbatim): I thought the weather and the other things, I don't think we need to blame the other things. I think we had a very good start, but then we lost our way, we lost back-to-back wickets twice. And there were no unbelievable balls or unplayable balls. And when you put on 169, it's not enough. This wicket was a little tricky. If we put up 250-260, it would have been good. [On Hridoy] Every time he goes out to bat, he impresses everyone.

10.40pm Thanks Ekanth. Well, at least we have a result! Afghanistan seemed to have a stranglehold on the game right from the time Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto fell in quick succession. The two rain breaks in the first innings only helped Bangladesh avoid getting bowled out, but Towhid Hridoy's fighting fifty was not enough to get them close to a big enough total in what was going to be a shortened game anyway. Bangladesh bowlers kept things tight, but Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz hung around, with the former especially keeping things ticking. Gurbaz was out trying to go for a big shot but Zadran kept going. By the time Rahmat Shah got out, Afghanistan were already ahead of the DLS par score. HD Ackermann says on air that Fazalhaq Farooqi's injury, for which he went off after bowling four deliveries of his last over, is not serious and he should be fit for the next game.

10:35pm: Unfortunately, the first ODI has come to a wet end is the call from on-air comms. Afghanistan win by 17 runs on DLS is the verdict. Post-match presentation will be on in a bit. So will Abhimanyu to report it here.

10:20pm: Mohammad Isam pings that If there's no further rain, then the match will resume at 10:35pm local time. The revised target will be 111 runs in 29 overs, which will mean 28 runs needed in the remaining 7.2 overs . A few seconds later, the text he sent reads 'Covers back on'. I don't know how to feel about any of this. Well, the square does get covered. But there are a few people surrounding it. Make of that what you will. At 10:27pm, the covers are removed from the square again. At 10:29pm, they are back on. "More drizzle," informs Isam.

Aziz El Sabri: "As an Afghan fan, it's always great to win with hitting boundary then never coming down to playing field. So we would love to see a winning run coming of Ibrahim Zadran's bat."

10:10pm: The green covers above and below the blue ones are coming off. So the rain doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Ollie: "Is it even worth coming back on? What will Afghanistan need, another 5 runs with 8 wickets in hand or something daft? "

9:55pm: Drizzle still on but a few people have now congregated around the covers. An umbrella goes up in the chat. No clear indications of what'll happen, yet.

9:45pm: Thanks, Abhimanyu. Round 3 of rain interruptions could land the knockout punch. The green squares are being brought on to supplement the blue ones on the pitch and squares. Overs will be lost if play restarts, given two overs or so have been lost already.

Benji: "Got to congratulate the Afghanistan openers on what a superb job they did in the face of some superb early bowling, could easily have lost 3 or 4 wickets then Bangladesh would be ahead on DLS but they stood firm "

9.35pm So, a third rain interruption as the groundstaff bring the covers on! This means, we will lose more overs. Also, if there is no more play possible, Afghanistan will win. The par score for them, for the loss of two wickets, is 66, so Afghanistan are well ahead. Stay tuned for more updates as the rain comes down in Chattogram. Ekanth will be here to share any new news with you!

Taskin vs Shahidi again. Two slips

Tanvir : "Is there any more chances of rain ahead? Who is ahead in DLS now?" Afghanistan are ahead currently, I believe.
