1.5 gone, edged behind! Gurbaz walked down the pitch and went for the drive, but got an outside edge. Taskin went on a fullish length around sixth stump, but Gurbaz was driving from closer to off. The edge flew behind, and Mushi did well moving to his right to grab that 7/1

9.2 loud and animated appeal for lbw, and it is given out after a thought! Atal has a word with Shahidi... and walks back! So Mustafizur has two wickets in less than two overs. He went wide of the crease to bowl this, and bowled on the fuller side of a length around off. The ball hinted to seam back in very slightly, and struck Atal on his front pad, as he was driving from outside off. I think the ball would have gone on to hit middle and leg, but we'll have to wait and see 35/3

7.2 edged, and another catch for Mushfiqur! Rahmat departs after he never got going. Mustafizur bowled on a length, while angling it across to pitch it just outside off. Rahmat drove from off stump, without really getting to the pitch of the ball. So it took the outside edge - it was a faint one - and settled into Mushfiqur's gloves 30/2

40.2 chopped on! Shahidi perishes, and the Fizz has four! Back of a length just outside off and that looks a very, very tired shot. Dangles his bat out without any footwork, hoping to dab it behind point but all he manages is an inside edge that topples the off bail. No real celebration from Mustafizur; Shahidi, on the other hand, walks back disappointed! 175/6

9.5 oohh, another confident appeal - this time for caught behind - and given! Afghanistan totally off track here. Mustafizur bowled on a short of a length on middle and leg, and got appreciable seam movement away towards off. Omarzai pushed at it without any foot movement, and ended up nicking behind. The edge, though, seemed inaudible to me in real time 35/4

19.6 Naib bites the dust, and Taskin is pumped up! Another short of a length delivery, although this is pace-on, unlike the ball that went for four. Naib tries to swat it away but the ball gets big on him. Hits him high on the bat and floats towards short mid wicket, who makes no mistake. Afghanistan five down! 71/5

47.3 goes straight up, and taken at deep backward square leg! Sharp short ball outside off and Nabi, who had been playing the pull so well, finally falls to it. A bit hurried into the stroke and the ball loops up off the top edge. Tanzid settles under it at deep backward square leg and makes no mistake. Nabi falls 16 short of a hundred, and Afghanistan's hopes of getting to 235-240, take a massive hit! 219/8

42.4 straight to Mustafizur! Shoriful finally among the wickets! Banged into the track outside off and this gets awfully big on Rashid. He tries to flat-bat it away but cannot get on top of it enough. Spoons it to mid wicket, and Shoriful is over the moon. This could be a crucial wicket, given the damage Rashid can cause! 189/7

47.4 stumps smashed, and Ghazanfar has to go back for a golden duck! Full, fast, you-miss-I-hit stuff from Taskin. Hones into middle and off and Ghazanfar, trying to tonk it into tomorrow, gets nowhere near it. Hears the death rattle and Afghanistan are nine down now! 219/9

49.4 another excellent yorker on off. Kharote digs it out towards long on and both batters try to repeat the trick. This time, though, the throw is to the bowler's end and Farooqi does not prove himself to be as resourceful as Kharote earlier in the over. Much better throw too and clean hands from Shoriful at the non-striker's end. Afghanistan end up with 235! 235/10

3.1 bowled him! The ball stays a bit low, even as it skidded through to Tanzid. Ghazanfar angled this in from around the wicket, and went on a fullish length on middle and off. It also went on with the angle, with Tanzid deciding to go back rather than coming forward. In the end, he was beaten, as the ball rushed through to the stumps 12/1

11.6 in the air and taken this time! Omarzai punches the air in delight and lets out a roar of celebration! Sharp bumper on middle and off. Sarkar eyes the pull but the ball hurries onto him, making him lose control. Arrows down to fine leg and Farooqi makes no mistake. Sarkar will not be very pleased with that stroke; Afghanistan will not mind it one bit! 65/2

25.5 taken at short fine leg after four juggles! Nabi put the man from deep-square leg at second slip, and that tempted Shanto to go for the paddle sweep. But the ball took a top edge and popped up, with the ball being on a length, and slightly wide outside off for the sweep, given Shanto had to reach out for it 120/3

30.4 superb catch by Omarzai! It looks especially good after their missed chances today. Omarzai, placed at short fine leg, ran diagonally to his left, and finished very close to where the fine-leg fielder would have been, while also diving to complete the grab. Ghazanfar slowed it down, and went for the carrom ball on a fifth-stump line. Mehidy went for the paddle sweep, but ended up getting a top edge, perhaps beaten by the slowness of the ball, and the variation 132/4

33.2 gone! Another one is bowled! Rashid keeps bowling the googly, and the Bangladesh batters keep misreading him. This lands on the shorter side of a length, and just outside off. Hridoy is down on his back knee to try and paddle sweep, but is beaten by the turn, and the slowness of the ball. It hits off stump, and takes Afghanistan close to a win 139/9

31.4 bowled him! Mahmudullah almost looking clueless there. It is the googly again, as Rashid gets it to dip on a length around sixth stump. Mahmudullah pushes at it by leaning, and playing far away from his body. That leaves a big gap between his bat and pad, and the ball turns in to strike the off stump 135/5

32.1 stumped! Mushfiqur beaten by the flight, dip and turn. It is a carrom ball which Ghazanfar angles in, and gets it to drop on a full length around off. Mushfiqur overbalances in trying to flick it away, but the ball turns away to beat him. He is well short of his crease by then, and Alikhil whips the bails off 136/6

32.5 a confident appeal for lbw, and given! But Rishad reviews. Ghazanfar bowled another carrom bowled, which he flicked into the batter. It landed on a length around middle and leg, and bounced nicely while also hinting to turn away. Rishad went deep in the crease, and looked to clip by opening his stance up. But he missed, and replays show it as umpire's call on hitting the top of middle 138/7

32.6 bowled him! He will be on a hat-trick when he starts his next over. But before that, he has already got five! This is another carrom ball, as he angles it in from around the wicket. It lands on a length around fifth stump, and comes back in. Taskin goes defending, but the is beaten, as the ball clicks off stump 138/8

34.3 knocks him over! That will be that! Ghazanfar hammers the final nail in Bangladesh's coffin and finishes with extraordinary figures of 6-26! This is slower and perhaps fuller on off. Shoriful looks at the flight and has only one thing on his mind. Swings for the hills but only swats away a few flies. The ball crashes into off stump and Ghazanfar, the star of the night, leaps into the air in celebration. Smiles, handshakes and embraces in the Afghanistan camp - they have blown Bangladesh away! Bangladesh do not know what has hit them. They were in control until they weren't, and once the wheels fell off, they went nowhere! 143/10
