2.40pm Tremendous recovery for Khulna. Fantastic cameos for Ariful Haque and Carlos Brathwaite. Al-Amin gets three wickets but leaks 52 runs in four overs. If the prediction at the pitch report turns out to be accurate, this is a more than handy score. At least 10 runs over par. But Comilla have only themselves to blame, with shoddy death bowling and clumsy fielding.

Al-Amin Hossain to Ariful Haque, OUT, short ball, gets too big on him and he top-edges a pull to the wicketkeeper. Buttler moves to his left behind the wicket and snaffles it

Al-Amin Hossain to Ariful Haque, SIX, short ball, tell you what, that didn't seem like a clean hit at all. Seemed like he got a top-edge on that. Slower ball, so he swung early and certainly did not time it as well as he would have liked to. Drags it to long-on off the bottom part of the bat

Al-Amin Hossain to Ariful Haque, FOUR, full outside off, hammered down the ground, beats long-on to his left easily. These are big runs in the slog overs

Al-Amin Hossain to Howell, 1 run, fuller ball, worked down the ground for one

Al-Amin Hossain to Howell, FOUR, dropped. Deep midwicket makes a mess of this chance. Cremer moves to his left, towards where a widish long-on would be and gets behind it. Reverse-cups but the ball bursts through the hands. Full ball, heaved over the leg side

Al-Amin Hossain to Howell, FOUR, short and wide, cuts it just late enough to beat point to his left. Top shot

Mehedi Hasan Rana to Ariful Haque, FOUR, he's repeating the same delivery over and over and making himself predictable. Slants one a long way across and the batsman is expecting it all the way from his load-up. Walks across early enough and dispatches him over extra cover. A horrific over from Mehedi comes to an end

Mehedi Hasan Rana to Ariful Haque, 1 no ball, make that four wides in the over. This is a never-ending over. Short ball again, perhaps climbs too much as the batsman sways out of the line. No-ball given, so it's a free-hit
18.5
W
Mehedi Hasan Rana to Ariful Haque, OUT, that's an unfortunate dismissal. Ariful hammers a fullish ball back to the bowler and the ball hits the boot of the bowler before taking out the stumps at the non-striker's end with Brathwaite backing up too far

Mehedi Hasan Rana to Ariful Haque, 1 wide, this is some tripe. Mehedi wants to give the batsman nothing in his swinging arc but he's doing a shoddy job of it. Pushes it too far across the off-stump again

Mehedi Hasan Rana to Ariful Haque, 1 wide, short ball, the bounce is too steep and the umpire calls it a wide

Al-Amin Hossain to Brathwaite, SIX, another half-volley outside off and Brathwaite crunches this straight over long-off. Gets underneath it and hammers it with a full-blooded swing of the blade

Al-Amin Hossain to Brathwaite, FOUR, he immediately makes the bowler pay for his lapse. It's overpitched outside off and Brathwaite shovels it over extra cover

Cremer to Brathwaite, 5 wides, slider on leg stump, tries to clip it late and it's not clear if he got some bat or if the ball brushed the pad. Neither it seems like, just drifting down the leg side past the keeper to fine leg
