- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 he's drilled this to a straighish mid-off. Clever field placing that. Mahmudullah fires this in, Tharanga makes room and goes over the top. Absolutely nails this but could only hit it to the man at the edge of the ring. 51/32.2 looks to force this length ball over mid-on but the ball zips in to hit the top part of the bat, so it gently lobs to the fielder inside the ring. It's the pace that has done the trick. 19/13.3 another skiddy delivery, another wicket brought about by sheer pace. Sabbir looks to sashay down the pitch and flat bat this over mid-off, but is hit on the top part of the bat. He loses control of the shot as well as the left hand comes off the grip, and Mahmudullah takes the roshogulla without much fuss. 20/211.1 given! What happened there? A full ball outside off, an attempted cover drive, and Walton goes up in appeal for a caught-behind. It was really full, so at first sight it seemed like it might have been a bump ball, but replays show that wasn't the case. Turns sharply, and just grazes the bottom edge through to the keeper 67/418.3 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 124/5Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL135/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Andre Fletcher, 2.2 ov), 2-20 (Sabbir Rahman, 3.3 ov), 3-51 (Upul Tharanga, 8.1 ov), 4-67 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 11.1 ov), 5-124 (Ross Whiteley, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 comes down the track again and Taijul rattles his stumps with the quicker one. It's back of a length, it's too quick for him, and it's past Shanto before he can jam his bat down. Kept slightly low, perhaps 18/12.5 timber! Taijul's hit the stumps again! This one doesn't turn, just angles into middle stump and goes with the angle. Walton was playing for the turn, hanging back and making room to punch through the off side, and the ball slides past his inside edge to bowl him 19/26.5 there's the wicket, Taijul's third, but it isn't how he may have expected to get it. Fired in flat, and Rossouw's quick hands nail a reverse-sweep. He really struck that sweetly, but he hit it straight to short third man, at chest height 43/313.2 oh, dear. What have you done, Mahmudullah? Sees an opportunity to get six and ends up dragging this from outside off towards long-on. He would've been better off trying to hit straighter. Is there another twist? 93/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL138/4 (18 Overs, RR: 7.66)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 2.3 ov), 2-19 (Chadwick Walton, 2.5 ov), 3-43 (Rilee Rossouw, 6.5 ov), 4-93 (Mahmudullah, 13.2 ov)
