7.5 Zips it quicker and fuller on off-stump line, he quickly gets down on one knee and mows it downtown, this time he doesn't clear the fence and is pouched. by the fielder at long-on, it was dying at him, but Emon did well to track the ball from the bat, into the air and then into his hands. A much-needed breakthrough for Bangladesh! However, the intentions are clear now, Afghanistan are looking to get a move on and press onto the gas pedal 55/1

10.3 gets in the slot and tries to go big downtown! Good length ball slanting in at middle, he connected pretty well but it goes straight into the safe pair of hands of Rishad who was stationed inches inside the rope, hangs onto it brilliantly and signals OUT. Third umpire will check but Ibrahim has already left the field. He skedaddled down the pitch and got a decent chunk of it but just enough elevation 71/2

16.2 Wrecks the stumps with a pitch-perfect yorker! He backed away and exposed his stumps, wanted to play inside-out shot into the covers. It was a stunning yorker and the perfect delivery at death 118/5

11.1 Over the wicket, tossed up fuller and offers width, miscues the skier and it's a loose shot, finds Saif at long-on who came charging in and took a neat and nifty diving catch! Tarakhil goes without troubling the scorers much 72/3

13.3 Round the wicket, came from wide of the crease, good length and zinging in outside off, opens the blade and tries an inside-out drive, picks up Emon at deep extra cover who has been a livewire and very safe in the outfield, think it's his second catch of the evening. Just not able to generate enough power on this occasion, difficult shot to manufacture 90/4

1.2 Around the wicket, shorter in length and gets it shape back from fifth stump line, takes him on and lifts it high but not far away, excellent diving take from Rashid Khan at mid-off! Afghanistan draw first blood 3/1

3.1 Good length and cuts back into middle, played down the wrong line and elicited a vociferous appeal for an lbw! Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting wickets so that'll be the second wicket! Bangladesh in a spot of bother! Two in-form batters removed inside the powerplay. Just not able to negotiate with the angle and seam movement. Afghanistan have been switched on tonight 16/2

4.4 Down on one knee and flubbed to extra cover! Got flight to work with, ball dipped on off-stump, he skelped it and got plenty of height, another sprawling catch while running back! Afghanistan are bossing the game now with Rashid yet to be introduced! They will try their best not to squander this advantage. Bangladesh must take calculated risks to stay in the hunt 24/3

10.5 Relentless appeal for an lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger! It was lobbed up on the stumps, fuller and turned back sharply towards middle, he lunged forward trying to deal with the searing googly, nothing on the ultra-edge, looks plumb but he has taken the review given the enormity of the situation. Three reds on the DRS and Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket! That was on the cards, seldom Rashid doesn't pick wicket, this will amp the pressure and make the task even more daunting! 80/4

14.1 Slows his pace up, length on middle, inverses his stance and hauled through off-side, very tough catch but he does exceptionally well to cover lots of distance at deep point and takes a dicing gem. Mujeeb, the fielder, with an incredible fielding effort! That was much-needed for Afghanistan as Bangladesh were hurtling towards the target and the partnership became quite threatening 102/5

16.6 Castled! Gets the big fish! Slowed it up a touch and got it to turn back a bit towards middle, he was shaping up for an almighty heave and missed it completely! Ball kept a touch low and turned back sharply, he was quick through the air too 122/6

17.3 Around the wicket, tremendous riposte and a fiery sendoff! On a length and sends it whizzing in the corridor, flirts with it and nicks it through to the keeper, was trying to go for a big booming cover drive! Looks crestfallen while taking the long walk back to the dugout. Another twist in the tale! 127/7

17.5 Over the wicket, Omarzai is on fire! Once again, Bangladesh slamming the panic button and shooting themselves in the foot! Fraction short and might have deviated in a touch, clattering the top of off-stumpp as he tried to uncoil a violent pull towards midwicket region, beaten by the pace variation and now it's getting tougher and tougher for Bangaldesh! 129/8
