- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 gone! That was another length ball on off stump, going with the angle towards middle. AB made room to carve it through the off side and he ended up picking out Mashrafe at cover point, takes a simple catch at head height. Super start for Bangladesh. 2/13.6 another! Similar dismissal to AB. It's a length ball with a bit of width outside off. On a slow pitch like this, it isn't easy to control those slashes through the off side, and he ends up slicing it softly into the hands of the cover point fielder 31/211.2 down the track and that's an excellent catch from that man Nasir. Looks to hit over wide mid-on, maybe, but doesn't reach the pitch of it. Turns in quite a long way and he ends up dragging it in the air towards deep midwicket. Nasir loses it in the flight, initially, and moves to his left, away from the ball, before correcting course and falling forward and to his right to take it inches off the turf 77/313.2 given! It was tossed up slowly and Miller, planting his front leg down the pitch and looking to work it across the line, is beaten by the turn, misses his inside edge and hits his pad in front of middle and off. Looked to have straightened enough to hit the stumps, and Shakib becomes Bangladesh's leading T20 wicket-taker, going past Abdur Razzak 90/4Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL148/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (AB de Villiers, 0.6 ov), 2-31 (Quinton de Kock, 3.6 ov), 3-77 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 11.2 ov), 4-90 (David Miller, 13.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 gone! It's another short ball down the leg side and Tamim, looking to pull, only manages to glove it to the keeper 7/11.5 Two down. Bouncer, rising sharply over Sarkar's left shoulder. He was in an awkward position to pull, and ended up hitting under it and finding the man at deep square leg 13/213.2 and that's the end of Shakib's troubled stay. Mid-off had gone back to long-off after the previous ball and fine leg had come into the circle. Looking to exploit that field change with the lap-sweep, Shakib ended up lapping the ball straight into short fine leg's hands 71/67.5 down the track and that's a soft dismissal. Duminy saw him coming and fired it at his pads. Mushfiqur whipped it in the air, and only managed to pick out the man at deep midwicket 50/39.2 what a catch that is! Saw Sabbir shaping for the reverse sweep and began moving to the right and he was in the perfect position when the ball came straight at him, off the batsman's gloves. It hit his left thigh and he just about managed to hang on while falling to the floor, with his hands bunched together at his stomach 56/410.1 Five down. It's tossed up outside off and that isn't the greatest of shots from Nasir. Went for the drive, throwing his hands at the ball without getting his head over it, and hit it uppishly, straight to short cover 57/517.3 slower length ball outside off and he moves across again to sweep, ends up top-edging and AB - he's been everywhere today - takes it well, moving backwards from square leg 94/914.5 short again but the line is outside off and Mashrafe can't control the pull as well. Effort ball too, extra bounce, and he top-edges it and AB takes a simple catch at deep midwicket 86/717.1 full slower ball outside off and Litton shuffles across to whip it towards square leg. Gazi scurries out of his crease even though the ball went straight to the fielder, and Litton sent him back. Doesn't beat the throw in from AB and Wiese completes the run-out comfortably 93/818.5 makes room to carve through the off side and Parnell finishes the game with a yorker, smacks into off stump after squeezing under Mustafizur's bat 96/10Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL96 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 5.09)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Tamim Iqbal, 0.6 ov), 2-13 (Soumya Sarkar, 1.5 ov), 3-50 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 7.5 ov), 4-56 (Sabbir Rahman, 9.2 ov), 5-57 (Nasir Hossain, 10.1 ov), 6-71 (Shakib Al Hasan, 13.2 ov), 7-86 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 14.5 ov), 8-93 (Sohag Gazi, 17.1 ov), 9-94 (Litton Das, 17.3 ov), 10-96 (Mustafizur Rahman, 18.5 ov)
