5.25pm Who would have though Afghanistan would cross 150, or even 200, after they were 90 for 5. But they have put on a competitive 254 for 6! A slow pitch and some accurate bowling from the Bangladesh spinners stifled them early on, but Shenwari and Stanikzai first consolidated, and then tore the bowlers apart once they crossed 150. They added 164 in 137 balls and scored 107 in the last 10 overs to charge them past 250. Stanikzai registered his best score of 90 and Shenwari scored 81 off only 69. Can Bangladesh chase it? We'll be back in about 40 minutes to find out.

Uzair: "this total will boost afghan confidence significantly! they're new team and have improved faster than most nations. they almost beat pak (if akmal was caught). can't wait to see game vs sr and ind"

Ram: "Excellent batting and excellent partnership between these two ..The best in the tournament so far."

Rubel Hossain to Asghar Afghan, no run, slogs and misses. It was outside off again, he went down on a knee to slog it to the leg side but the ball kept low again

Rubel Hossain to Asghar Afghan, OUT, oh it's a run out! Stanikzai couldn't connect with the ball that kept low outside off and Shenwari came across for a run meanwhile. The keeper passes the ball to the bowler and both batsmen are caught at the same end. Shenwari gets a lot of pats on his back as soon as he crosses the boundary rope

Samiullah Shinwari run out 81 (94m 69b 10x4 1x6) SR: 117.39

Rubel Hossain to Asghar Afghan, FOUR, wide full toss outside off, he swivels his bat to clear the infield and that runs away for four more. These batsmen have left the hosts clueless

Rubel Hossain to Asghar Afghan, SIX, kapow, that's gone out of the ground! Stanikzai got a full delivery and clobbered it to the cow corner boundary for a massive six

Rudra Varma: "Both batsmen denying the other a century"
