- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 Massive wicket! Tossed up length ball around the off stump line, Gurbaz moves away from the wicket early, tries to free his arms, slashes it hard and flat towards extra cover. Shamim dived to his left side fully stretched and grabbed the low catch with ease. Gurbaz stood there in disbelief. 24/22.1 In the airrrr... And taken! A tad short of a length ball around the fifth stump line, Zadran dances down the track and tries to go downtown, miscues the slog stroke and skies it high towards mid-on. Nurul tracks back a few steps and gobbles it up comfortably. 20/110.1 Atal bites the dust! Widish length ball outside off, chases the delivery and slices it in the air with the outside part of the bat, mistimed the stroke and hits it straight to deep backward point. Tanzid Tamim comes around and bends down to complete the catch, juggles a few times then manages to hold on to it. 73/45.6 Oh dear, bowled'em with a juicy full toss! Full toss on a knee height on the stumps, moves away from the wicket and goes for the big heave over mid-on, wild swing of the bat and misses the line of the ball, hits the lower part of the middle-leg stump as the ball dips in. Soft dismissal. 39/318.2 slower ball does the trick! Width on offer pace off delivery outside off, throws his bat at it as he tries to slice it over the off-side area, outside edges and finds the short third fielder at the edge of the circle. 132/911.3 Wild swing of the bat and has to depart! Tossed up length ball wide outside off and turning away, gets down on one knee and tries to play the slog sweep over mid wicket, connects the leading edge and a straightforward catch taken by Nurul Hasan at the edge of the circle in backward point area. 81/512.3 Cleaned him up with a peach! Generously flighted length ball on the stumps, this one skids on and keeps low on the stumps. Nabi strides forward and plays off the front foot, attempts to work it away past Nasum to long off, misses the line and length of the ball as it goes through bat-pad and knocks the leg stump over! 82/614.3 Top edge and taken! Banged in short-pitched ball outside off, plays the hook stroke as he clears the front leg, mistimes the stroke and sends it flying towards the deep fine leg fielder. Nasum waits near the ropes, settles underneath the ball, and gobbles it up, looks back at the ropes and then goes on to celebrate with his teammates. 98/714.4 Two in two for Sakib! Widish bouncer ball outside off, makes room outside leg and tries to swing it away over the on-side area, connects the toe end of the bat and miscues the stroke to the right of mid-on. Saifuddin follows the trajectory of the ball and takes a fine diving catch at the edge of the circle. 98/8Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL143/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Ibrahim Zadran, 2.1 ov), 2-24 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 3.1 ov), 3-39 (Wafiullah Tarakhil, 5.6 ov), 4-73 (Sediqullah Atal, 10.1 ov), 5-81 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 11.3 ov), 6-82 (Mohammad Nabi, 12.3 ov), 7-98 (Rashid Khan, 14.3 ov), 8-98 (Abdollah Ahmadzai, 14.4 ov), 9-132 (Darwish Rasooli, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Soft dismissal! Change of pace delivery on the stumps, Emon tries to go downtown and throws his bat at it, bottom hand goes off as he skies it high towards mid-off. Rashid Khan settles underneath and completes the catch. 24/110.4 This time Tamim has to depart! Slower hard length ball around the off stump line, tries to whack it over the in-field and mistimed the stroke in the air, easy stuff for the mid-off fielder, this time manages to hold on to it. 79/213.5 Trapped in front again, massive appeal and the umpire raises his finger! Flighted length ball on the stumps, slight turn off the pitch and that's enough to beat the wild swing of Jaker Ali, gets down on one knee and swings his bat at it, gets nowhere near the ball. No bat is involved. Pitching outside off, impact is umpire's call, and just clipping the top of the off stump, umpire's call too! Finally, Jaker Ali's misery with the bat tonight comes to an end. 109/313.6 Chopped on! Quicker back of a length ball from around the wicket, sharp turn inwards, carrom ball and comes back in, cramped Shamim for room as he tries to cut it square of the wicket. Shamim moves away from the wicket, connects the inside edge and drags the ball onto the stumps! 109/4Extras13 (lb 5, w 8)TOTAL144/4 (18 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Parvez Hossain Emon, 4.1 ov), 2-79 (Tanzid Hasan, 10.4 ov), 3-109 (Jaker Ali, 13.5 ov), 4-109 (Shamim Hossain, 13.6 ov)
