Mz.Ananto: "Khulna should make sure the line-up is good. Shanto is not an opener and Brathwaite is no No.3." -- They've brought in Michael Klinger today, and I suspect he'll open the batting.
8.45pm An interesting tussle on a difficult batting pitch. Sylhet struggled to force the pace right through the innings, but an unbeaten 47 from their captain has given them a fighting total. Do they have the bowling to defend it? We'll find out very soon.

Abu Jayed to Nurul Hasan, 1 run, in the blockhole again, jabbed down to long-on

Abu Jayed to Nasir Hossain, 1 run, brilliant effort, and Mahmudullah has saved a boundary here. Full, angling into the stumps, and Nasir nails the scoop over short fine leg. Except the fielder times his jump perfectly, and stops it with the fingertips of his right hand while at full stretch

Abu Jayed to Nasir Hossain, FOUR, shot! That wasn't a bad ball, slower back-of-a-length ball on off stump, but Nasir makes himself room and slaps it away to the right of sweeper cover
19.3
2
Abu Jayed to Nasir Hossain, 2 runs, not quite full enough to be a yorker this time, drilled down the ground to the right of long-off. They go for a second, the throw is at the keeper's end, and Nasir is just in by the time Walton gets the bails off

Abu Jayed to Nasir Hossain, no run, well-directed yorker, doesn't miss leg stump by much after Nasir slogs and misses

Abu Jayed to Nurul Hasan, 1 run, back of a length on off stump, makes room and dabs towards backward point
Abu Jayed to finish.

Archer to Nasir Hossain, no run, slower short ball outside off, Nasir slashes and misses. The changes of pace have been really effective today

1
Archer to Nurul Hasan, 1 run, slower ball angling into the stumps, tucked away towards deep midwicket
18.4
1
Archer to Nasir Hossain, 1 run, full, angling into middle and leg, and Ariful Haque drops a tough chance on the deep backward square leg boundary. Nasir moved across to flick it over short fine leg, but hit it squarer than he intended, and the fielder on the rope, coming in off the boundary and diving forward, can't hold on to the low chance
Nurul Hasan walks in at No. 7.
Sreenath : "140 is not a bad score on this pitch... Syleht have good bowling attack and home crowd support.. They can defend 140 plus."

Archer to Whiteley, OUT, the short ball continues to take wickets today. Banged in, and the line is very good - had to drag his pull from over his back shoulder, and miscued it and offered a simple catch to deep square leg

Archer to Whiteley, SIX, full again, and this time he's cleared the rope. Makes a bit of room and hits it over long-off this time, to the left of the fielder. That brings up the 50 partnership as well
18.1
2
Archer to Whiteley, 2 runs, full from Archer, on off stump, and that's a great effort on the long-on boundary - Shanto has saved four runs there. Had to leap vertically to try and catch that big hit over his head. Timed his jump well, and used his hands to push the ball back into the field of play. Had he caught it, he'd have gone over the rope with the ball
