- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 finds the breakthrough. Naim got down on one knee and attempted to lap it over the keeper. Instead, he gets a faint edge off the top part of the bat and it loops up to the keeper for the simplest of catches 5/15.5 the softest of dismissals. Just lobs it up to mid-on tamely. No timing, no real intent to clear that fielder, and Bangladesh slide further 28/44.1 Mirza strikes! Das leaned back and tried to lob it over the onside. But he never got enough power on it, ending up chipping it to Mohammad Nawaz at deep midwicket. 25/24.4 has he gone? Yes, he has. Driven to mid-off and they hared through for a single, but Salman Agha collects cleanly and effects a direct hit. Despite the batter's despairing dive, he's short, and Bangladesh have begun making the mistakes Pakistan made on Sunday 25/319.6 Slower delivery outside the off stump line, Jaker tries to go downtown again, but this time mistimes the stroke and skies it high towards long-on. Nawaz comes forward sprinting in and settles underneath, completing the catch comfortably. 133/1013.6 Generously flighted length ball on the stumps, non-turner delivery, dances down the track and tries to go downtown again, this time fails to time it well and finds the long off fielder. 81/515.3 Chopped on, and Daniyal gets his second! Pace on delivery three-quarter length ball angling away outside off, Shamim bends down and tries to guide it through third man, only manages to connect the inside edge and drags it onto the stumps! 93/616.3 Back of a length ball angling away outside off, wild swing of the bat, and skies it high to extra cover area, ring fielder tracks back and takes a brilliant catch under the lights! 100/717.6 Slower delivery does the trick! That was a peach from Abbas! Slower yorker darted on the leg stump line. Rishad clears his front leg and tries to hoick it over midwicket, missing the line and length, breaks the leg stump! 111/819.3 Excellent line and length, width on offer, yorker ball outside off, drills it away down the track to straight of long off, calls for the second run, and goes for it. It was always a tight run for Shoriful, as he started late and was lethargic while going towards the danger zone. Replay confirmed he is well short of his ground, even though he managed to put in a desperate dive at the last moment. 127/9Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL133 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Mohammad Naim, 1.3 ov), 2-25 (Litton Das, 4.1 ov), 3-25 (Towhid Hridoy, 4.4 ov), 4-28 (Parvez Hossain Emon, 5.5 ov), 5-81 (Mahedi Hasan, 13.6 ov), 6-93 (Shamim Hossain, 15.3 ov), 7-100 (Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 16.3 ov), 8-111 (Rishad Hossain, 17.6 ov), 9-127 (Shoriful Islam, 19.3 ov), 10-133 (Jaker Ali, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Fakhar tried to smear it over midwicket, but got a bit of glove on it, or so Bangladesh thought. The umpire was unmoved, leading Das to call for a review. At that, Fakhar began walking off, and the umpire raised the finger. Pakistan in all sorts now 14/30.6 and another run-out, would you believe it? Carved to deep point, where the fielder put in a superb dive. Rishad collected and threw it to the keeper right above the bails, and Saim and Fakhar found themselves in a horrible mix-up. Saim looks slightly accusingly at Fakhar, but it was the fielding that created the dismissal 4/11.3 swinging in, and it's struck him plumb in front! Classic left-arm bowler's dismissal to the right hander. It came back in sharply and struck him on the knee roll. The umpire raises the finger and Haris must depart. He reviews, but it's clipping the bails, and Haris goes for a golden duck 9/29.2 Agha tries to up the ante, only to hole out to long-on. Danced down the track, but he dropped the ball short, and the Pakistan captain got nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Horrible miscue, easy catch, and Agha goes for nine off a staggering 23 balls 30/64.3 gone, and Pakistan are folding in a heap here! Hasan Nawaz goes for another duck! A horrid little innings where he never controlled a single delivery he faced. He nudges the sixth; it takes the outside edge and the keeper makes no mistake. Bangladesh trampling over Pakistan 15/44.4 two in two! Mohammad Nawaz goes this time. What's happening here? Bangladesh are running riot in Mirpur. Nawaz pokes at it only to get an outside edge for the keeper to accept the gift 15/511.5 Quicker length ball sliding down with the angle, 99 kph, Khushdil charges down the track early and tries to play across the line to midwicket. He misses the line of the ball and thuds the back pad. The ball kept a bit low too. Loud appeal, and the umpire is convinced. Khushdil decides to send it upstairs. Ultra Edge confirmed no bat involved. Ball tracking coming up. All three reds and striking the leg stump. Excellent decision from the umpire! 47/718.6 Cleaned him up with a quicker delivery! Short of a length ball quicker through the air attacking the stumps, a massive turn and kept low on the track, tries to hoick it over the on-side, goes through bat-pad and the bails are flying. A brilliant innings has finally come to an end. And that should be the game for Bangladesh. 121/916.1 Bowled him! Full and overpitched ball on the fourth stump line, clears the front leg and tries to whip it away over the midwicket area, kept low on the track, beaten by the lack of pace and inside edged onto the stumps! 88/819.2 Has he middled it? That sounded good off the bat.... But he has holed out at midwicket! It was there in the slot, off-cutter delivery shaping away from the batter, difficult angle for Daniyal to heave it away over the on-side. He still managed to drag it with the inner part of the bat, did not get enough elevation, got caught out near the ropes! 125/10Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL125 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.46)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Saim Ayub, 0.6 ov), 2-9 (Mohammad Haris, 1.3 ov), 3-14 (Fakhar Zaman, 3.2 ov), 4-15 (Hasan Nawaz, 4.3 ov), 5-15 (Mohammad Nawaz, 4.4 ov), 6-30 (Salman Agha, 9.2 ov), 7-47 (Khushdil Shah, 11.5 ov), 8-88 (Abbas Afridi, 16.1 ov), 9-121 (Faheem Ashraf, 18.6 ov), 10-125 (Ahmed Daniyal, 19.2 ov)
