TANZEEV : "Poor captaincy from Tamim there, wrong choices of bowlers at wrong times and it was a shocker that he didn't go to Shoaib Malik who has been so consistent and could stopped the flow of runs!"

Tanny: "Refuses the single! Surprised to see ppl play for records in these club matches" -- To be fair, Charles got eight off the next two balls. A smart choice, given he was already set

7.04 pm Rangpur Riders made the most of today, helped by the 150+ partnership between McCullum and Charles. The West Indian started off just where he left off from yesterday, and the two batsmen made merry in Mirpur. A steep chase for Comilla, especially since they were bowled out for less than 100 the last time they were attempting to chase 190+. Should be a fascinating contest. See you all in ten minutes for the second innings.

Mohammad Saifuddin to Charles, FOUR, low full toss on middle, smacked down the ground past the non-striker. Four more to end the innings! Rangpur Riders finish on 192 for 3. A yuuuuge target!

Mohammad Saifuddin to Charles, FOUR, there's the hundred! Guided past point for four more. His maiden ton of the format. Acknowledges the crowd's presence. Overpitched full outside off and just gets bat to ball

Mohammad Saifuddin to Charles, no run, full outside off, almost a yorker. Bunted to short cover and he refuses the single!

Mashrafe comes on... as the cheers get louder at the Shere Bangla. A crowd favourite, this man. Charles, however, crossed when Bopara got out. He's on strike on 97

Mohammad Saifuddin to Bopara, OUT, Holes out! First-ball duck for Bopara, but he had to go for the big shots right away. Full on middle and well hit down the ground but just not enough elevation in that hit. Down Shoaib Malik's throat. Bopara is walking out...but wait, they're checking for the no ball now. Naw, he's fine

RS Bopara c Shoaib Malik b Mohammad Saifuddin 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Mohammad Saifuddin to Charles, FOUR, full toss on middle, slogs and connects! Square leg is inside the circle and this races away for four more behind square. Poor bowling. This is Charles' highest T20 score now.

The 151-run partnership between Charles and McCullum was the third highest in BPL history

Hasan Ali to McCullum, OUT, slower ball, and bowled! Hasan Ali celebrates, but not before patting McCullum on the back as Baz walks out. Leg cutter on middle stump and the ball whizzes under McCullum's bat. Takes top of off stump. Applause all around as the Rangpur team gives him a standing ovation

BB McCullum b Hasan Ali 78 (46b 1x4 9x6) SR: 169.56

Hasan Ali will look to finish on a strong note.

Hasan Ali to McCullum, no run, offcutter on middle stump. Slows this time but rolling his fingers over the ball. Goes between McCullum (who had walked across to the leg side) and the leg stump. Through his shot way too early
18.3
0
Hasan Ali to McCullum, no run, short and wide outside off, tries to pull but it's soars over the batsman's head. First bounce of the over, says the umpire. McCullum, however, reckons it should be a wide. I think so too
18.3
1w
Hasan Ali to McCullum, 1 wide, good length ball on middle stump, angling down the leg side. And the umpire calls it a 'wide'. He ran across to the off side to try and paddle this fine down the leg. Hasan Ali has to re bowl
18.2
6
Hasan Ali to McCullum, SIX, low full toss on middle and off, lifted over Hasan Ali's head with ease. Crashes into the the fence at long off! Safe shot, and earns him six more. Misses the yorker and punished. There's the 150 partnership!

Hasan Ali to McCullum, no run, on the money! Yorker on middle stump. Dug away back to the bowler. Clinical

Charles' highest T20 score is 94. He's on 92 now..The partnership between these two is now 144. Comilla's best bowler, Hasan Ali, returns
