- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 taken at cover-point! Tanzid follows his opening partner back into the pavilion. Nabi tossed this full ball up, and angled it in towards off. Tanzid opened the face of the bat to try and loft, but could only get it towards cover-point, where Shahidi moved to his left to take with a reverse cup. Afghanistan are suddenly back in the game 53/28.3 chopped on! Soumya gives away a good start. Omarzai breaks a solid opening stand. It was bowled on the shorter side of a length, as the ball angled across to finish outside off. Soumya looked to dab at this, but seemed to have played very late. He got a bottom edge in the end, as the ball hit the middle and leg stumps 53/110.2 disastrous mix-up and Kharote makes Bangladesh pay! Back of a length, angling into off. Straightens a touch after pitching and squares up Mehidy, who defends towards point. He takes a couple of steps for the single and that prompts Zakir to hare down. Mehidy then sends his partner back but by then, it is too late. Kharote swoops in, picks it up cleanly and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. Zakir nowhere in the frame, and Afghanistan have three in three overs! 58/345.6 goes straight up and taken this time! Off-pace and into the track outside off. Mehidy has an enormous swipe at it but loses all shape, perhaps because of the lack of pace. Miscues it completely and Naib, stationed at mid off, makes no mistake. A top innings by the skipper and it has laid the foundation for Bangladesh to get close to 250 (or even go past it)! 217/514.4 edged and taken! Hridoy was all at sea, and Rashid has his man! Plenty of revs on this too and this might have been a touch slower, pitching on a length outside off. Either way, Hridoy, because he was not reading Rashid off the hand, decides to stay back. Prods at it thereafter and only ends up following the ball with his hands. Thick outside edge and Naib makes no mistake at slip. Rashid into the act almost straightaway! 72/449.6 zipped in full on off. Mahmudullah gives it all he has but can only tug it towards deep square leg. He has no option but to chance his luck on the second and he comes up second-best. The throw is accurate and Gurbaz whips off the bails quickly enough. Mahmudullah falls for 98, and Bangladesh finish with 244! 244/847.2 was there a sound? Seemed like it, and Afghanistan review after the umpire gives it not out! Back of a length outside off. Zips off the surface and nips back in a smidgen. Jaker has a wild slog across the line and he might have feathered it through to the keeper. Replays confirm that, and there is a spike when the ball is next to the bat. Umpire Alex Wharf's decision overturned and Jaker has to go! 224/649.2 bulls-eye from Omarzai! Another cutter, pitching on a back of a length on middle and off. Deviates away with the angle and Nasum is completely foxed. He swings way too early and then watches on as the ball topples the off bail. Mahmudullah still off strike, and Omarzai has four! 240/7Extras18 (lb 5, w 13)TOTAL244/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.88)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Soumya Sarkar, 8.3 ov), 2-53 (Tanzid Hasan, 9.1 ov), 3-58 (Zakir Hasan, 10.2 ov), 4-72 (Towhid Hridoy, 14.4 ov), 5-217 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 45.6 ov), 6-224 (Jaker Ali, 47.2 ov), 7-240 (Nasum Ahmed, 49.2 ov), 8-244 (Mahmudullah, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR38.4 Gurbaz falls and Mehidy is the man with the breakthrough! Shortish, pitching outside off and spinning towards leg. Gurbaz looks to swipe it away but the ball turning in makes him drag it. Picks out Zakir on the deep square leg fence to perfection, and a stellar knock comes to an end. Has he already done enough for Afghanistan, though? 184/47.4 gone! Bowled him with a 147kph beauty! This barely clips the side of off stump - perhaps umpire's call if there was DRS used for this. Nahid angled this in from around the wicket, and pitched it on a length around fifth stump. It seamed back in nicely for him, as Atal looked to punch forward. But there was a gap between bat and pad, and that was enough for the ball to pierce through and tickle the off stump, also leaving the keeper amazed by the pace and bounce even after hitting the stumps 41/113.6 simple return catch, and the Fizz bounces out Rahmat Shah! Dug into the track on middle and leg. Skips off the surface and rushes Rahmat all ends up. He is half-way through the pull when the ball smacks into his splice. Spoons up for Mustafizur, who does the rest on his follow-through. Afghanistan lose their second; Bangladesh tightening the screws! 63/220.1 taken at wide slip! Well-judged from Soumya, as he moves low to his right to grab that. The ball seemed to have barely stuck into his right hand, as he went with both hands, with the ball dipping on to him. Mustafizur bowled from wide of the crease, and on a length while going wide of off. Shahidi, perhaps attracted by the width, went slashing, but ended up getting a top edge 84/340.2 goes straight up, and taken eventually by Jaker! A very ordinary choice of stroke, given the circumstances. Hard length outside off and Naib, for some reason, tries to take this over mid wicket. Slashes across it too much and only gets height. Jaker circles under it and for a moment, seems like he misjudges it. Ultimately, though, he stretches out in front of him and gobbles up the chance. Is this game turning? 188/5Extras12 (lb 3, w 9)TOTAL246/5 (48.2 Overs, RR: 5.08)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Sediqullah Atal, 7.4 ov), 2-63 (Rahmat Shah, 13.6 ov), 3-84 (Hashmatullah Shahidi, 20.1 ov), 4-184 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 38.4 ov), 5-188 (Gulbadin Naib, 40.2 ov)
