- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 "Catch it!" Is the cry. And taken at widish long off! Generously flighted fuller length ball around off turning away, makes room outside leg and plays it inside-out, trying to hit it over extra cover but mishitting the stroke towards widish long off. Rashid Khan comes around and gobbles it up near the ropes. 53/33.4 Edged and taken! A peach of a delivery from Omarzai left Tanzid Hasan stuck inside the crease by surprise. Hard length ball swinging away with the seam and extra bounce off the pitch, plays off the front foot away from the body, pokes it with the outside edge and this time Gurbaz makes no mistake behind the stumps. 18/15.1 Soft dismissal! Good length ball on the fifth stump line, premeditated off the front foot and played it half-heartedly, caught in two minds between attack and defense; in the end, only managed to chip it to mid-off with the toe end of the bat for a simple catch. 25/235.2 oh no, Hridoy falls to a mix-up! And that too run-out off a misfield! Full ball outside off. Comes down the ground and strikes a good drive. Shahidi at cover drives, parries the ball slightly far away. Hridoy thinks he can get one, but Shahidi quickly gets up, gets to the ball, and that means Hridoy is stranded, especially since Mehidy didn't look interested. A gentle throw to the keeper and that's game over for Hridoy tonight 154/438.5 200 ODI wickets for Rashid Khan! Full on off and middle. No turn. Mehidy defends down the wrong line and the umpire gives him out swiftly. Big celebration among the Afghans, but they have to wait a second because Mehidy reviews. Three reds! Mehidy has to go. 175/540.3 trapped lbw! Wicket number 201 now for Rashid in ODIs. Jaker knows he's plumb, so does Nurul, so the batter is walking back. Length ball around off, turning into middle, and raps him before he can even decide on a shot to play 178/644.2 full on the stumps. No turn. He gets his bat forward to defend. Ball sneaks past the edge, and he's plumb lbw again! 195/747.2 Omarzai with his third! He's been the pick of the bowlers today. Always bowling with a plan. This one's a back-of-a-length ball outside off. Tanzim flat-bats an attempted big shot but ends up lobbing it to long on 206/946.6 easy one at point! Ghazanfar tosses it outside off. Ball turns away. Mahmud tries to slog it over the leg side. Toe-ended, and the ball pops up to the off side for a simple one 205/848.5 easy for Ghazanfar. Drops the length. Keeps it wide outside off. Gets the ball to turn away. And Tanvir is stumed trying to come down the wicket. Bangladesh waste seven balls.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR31.2 Cleaned him up! Gurbaz had no clue how to deal with the ball! Good length ball with a sharp turn inwards after pitching outside off, Gurbaz leans forward to play off the front foot, squeezes through the gap between bat-pad and hits the timber. Massive wicket! 136/49.3 Beaten by a peach and Tanvir strikes! Generously flighted length ball in the slot on the stumps, sharp turn away from the batter as Zadran charges down the track, misses the line and length and quick glovework behind the stumps by Nurul Hasan. 52/112.1 Atal bites the dust! Hard length ball angling in from around the wicket, moves onto the back foot and closes the face of the bat early as he tries to nudge it to the on-side, thick outside edge and a sharp catch taken at the slip area. 58/230.4 Soft dismissal, Tanzim Sakib finds the breakthrough! Short of a length ball pitching outside off, stands tall inside the crease and plays the pull shot half-heartedly, connects the sweet part of the timber but hits it flat and straight to short mid wicket. 136/342.6 chips it straight to midwicket! Hard length ball on middle-leg, premeditated across the line off the front foot, mistimed the stroke and gifted his wicket away to the ring fielder.
