7.30pm At 53 for 9, it looked like the match wouldn't last 20 overs. But the last wicket stand added 48 - the fifth-highest tenth-wicket stand in T20s - to not only play out the innings, but carry Sylhet over 100. It is still well below par on a surface that is taking plenty of spin. Narine, who took his 300th T20 wicket, and Afridi were sensational right through the innings, extracting some turn and bounce to rip through Sylhet. We'll be back soon for the chase.
