- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.1 straight to deep backward square leg, and Saghir has his maiden T20I wicket! Banged into the track on middle and off. Tanzid looks to swivel and smash it over deep backward square leg. Gets a good chunk of it but not the elevation to clear the fence. Regulation chance for Matiullah, and Tanzid has to depart after a sprightly knock! 90/112.3 simple catch at deep mid wicket, and Jawadullah sends back the Bangladesh captain! Pace-off and hounded into the track outside off, which means Litton has to generate all the pace and the power. Manages neither and ends up clothing it towards Saghir. Litton throws his head back in disappointment and his scratchy innings, which yielded 40 runs, comes to an end! 125/216.4 Shanto falls! Another short ball outside off with all the pace taken off. Shanto throws his hands at it but cannot get the pace or the power he is after. Straight to deep point and his enterprising cameo comes to an end! 163/319.1 goes a mile up, and taken by the bowler! Saghir has two on debut! Slot ball on middle and off, but for a change, Hridoy does not get the connection he is after. Gets under it a fair bit and the ball goes straight up. Saghir calls for it early, settles under the high ball and makes no mistake! 201/518.4 Jaker's cameo comes to an end! This a slot ball outside off and asking to be hit again. Jaker thinks he can pop this over mid off but the bat turns in his hands upon contact. Ends up slicing it and Chopra snaffles up a fairly simple chance at mid off! 197/4Extras8 (lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL205/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-90 (Tanzid Hasan, 9.1 ov), 2-125 (Litton Das, 12.3 ov), 3-163 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 16.4 ov), 4-197 (Jaker Ali, 18.4 ov), 5-201 (Towhid Hridoy, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.1 the break brings the breakthrough! Tossed up on a full length just outside off and this seems to leave the batter late. Enough deviation to force Zohaib into a slice as he looks to go inside-out, and deep point, running in, does the rest. Tanvir is overjoyed, and this is the window of opportunity Bangladesh would have been after! 107/114.5 edged and taken! Waseem bites the dust, and Shoriful provides the vital breakthrough! Back-of-the-hand slower ball, hung up wide outside off. Waseem goes chasing after it but the lack of pace does for him. Swishes himself off his feet, and only manages an outside edge that Jaker snares smartly while diving to his right. Waseem cannot believe what he has done, and he departs after a superb 42-ball 82. But hang on...the third umpire wants to check whether Shoriful's back leg cut the return crease. Looks like Shoriful is fine and the third umpire agrees with that assessment. The wicket stands, and this game sways towards Bangladesh again! 148/311.1 goes straight up, and Bangladesh's spinners are turning this game! Back of a length on middle and leg. Stops in the surface a touch and Chopra is too early on the pull. Gets a tame leading edge and Rana makes no mistake stood at short fine leg. Chopra walks back dejected and Bangladesh, out of nowhere, have two in quick succession! 110/215.5 Rana bounces out Asif Khan! And what a time to get your first T20I wicket! Sharp bumper on middle stump and this takes the batter by surprise completely. As a reflex action, Asif swipes at it but gets it horribly wrong. Skews up off the top edge and Rana takes the most straightforward return catch he might ever recieve. Rana among the wickets as well now, and Bangladesh turning the screw! 158/418.1 Sharafu perishes too, and with that, UAE's hopes perhaps evaporate too! Off-pace again, full and wide outside off. Sharafu advances and reaches out for it. Slams it flat and slams it straight to Hridoy, who after messing up a chance earlier in the game, makes amends by holding on. UAE's chase flagging, and Bangladesh on the verge of wrapping up a series win! 177/716.5 holes out to long off, and there will be no batting heroics on debut for Saghir Khan! Rishad bravely tosses it up again and reaps the rewards. Hangs it up just enough outside off (and outside the arc), and forces Saghir to go over long off. He gets a decent piece of it but not enough to clear Hridoy, who nearly back-pedals onto the fence but does alright to manintain his balance ultimately. UAE five down now! 170/517.3 another miscue, and another return catch for Nahid Rana! On the shorter side outside off and Aryansh cracks under pressure. Thinks he can swipe this away merrily but Rana's pace, plus his height, means the ball gets too big on him. Splices it straight up and Rana, after completing the catch, shows how much he wanted that wicket! 177/619.3 stumps go splat, and Tanzim comes up clutch when Bangladesh needed him to! Beautifully-executed slower ball, pitching on a length just outside off and coming in with the angle. Parashar sees his name up in lights and has an ungainly swipe across the line. Misses it altogether and hears the death rattle soon after. Bangladesh right back in this, and Parashar, like his captain earlier in the evening, cannot quite fathom what he has just done! 202/8Extras10 (lb 2, nb 3, w 5)TOTAL206/8 (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.38)Did not bat: Muhammad JawadullahFall of wickets: 1-107 (Muhammad Zohaib, 10.1 ov), 2-110 (Rahul Chopra, 11.1 ov), 3-148 (Muhammad Waseem, 14.5 ov), 4-158 (Asif Khan, 15.5 ov), 5-170 (Saghir Khan, 16.5 ov), 6-177 (Aryansh Sharma, 17.3 ov), 7-177 (Alishan Sharafu, 18.1 ov), 8-202 (Dhruv Parashar, 19.3 ov)
