- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36.1 LBW appeal, given right away. Gurbaz reviews. It was a shortish ball that kept a bit low, Gurbaz cleared his front leg and tried flicking/pulling it to square leg. Missed it and got hit on the back pad. His stumps were still visible, so the question is whether it's going down leg. Nope, Hawk-Eye shows it would have gone on to clip leg stump. Gurbaz is disappointed but is able to bring out a wry smile. He gets warm reception as he walks back with a raised bat. 256/145.3 And Ibrahim Zadran falls right after reaching the landmark. Goes for the big shot immediately. It's a short ball on leg angling across and he gets a top edge as he tries to pull. It loops up and Shanto at midwicket takes a few steps back and takes a simple catch 299/537.1 Top edges a pull to deep fine leg's left. The fizz there, takes a good catch. Subdued celebrations from Ebadot but he brings out a small salute. It was a shortish ball at the hips, Rahmat didn't try to muscle it but was also unable to keep it along the ground. Mustafizur did well to go the left, shift his body weight to the left, hops and twirls as he takes the catch 259/238.6 Mehidy yorks Hashmat and goes through the sweep to hit off stump. Bangladesh have three in three after 36 wicket-less overs. The batter looked to have premeditated here, went on one knee early and tried to hit it square. Missed completely. 266/343.1 Holes out to long-on off a long hop! The pressure tells. This was short outside off and Najibullah rocks back and pulls it straight and not nearly far enough. Simple catch for Litton Das and that's another one gone for Afghanistan 286/446.4 Oh beauty from Shakib! Tossed up on a length outside off and it turns past the bat as Rashid comes charging down. Simple stumping for Mushfiqur. Rashid got nowhere near that one! 306/648.5 Shakib holds on at cover and it's another one gone! Slower ball on a length around off and going across. Omarzai wants to muscle this over long-on but can't connect cleanly. The ball goes high in the air, swirling and Shakib does well to settle under it and grab onto the ball 318/749.2 Flicked straight to deep square leg! Full on the pads and he looked to whip that away, but that's straight to Naim who takes it reverse-cupped after moving to his left 323/849.6 Wicket off the last ball and 332 is the target for Bangladesh! Short ball outside off, Farooqi tries to pull but gets an edge that lobs up to Mehidy Hasan Miraz at point 331/9Extras33 (b 4, lb 9, nb 4, w 16)TOTAL331/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.62)Did not bat: Mohammad SaleemFall of wickets: 1-256 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 36.1 ov), 2-259 (Rahmat Shah, 37.1 ov), 3-266 (Hashmatullah Shahidi, 38.6 ov), 4-286 (Najibullah Zadran, 43.1 ov), 5-299 (Ibrahim Zadran, 45.3 ov), 6-306 (Rashid Khan, 46.4 ov), 7-318 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 48.5 ov), 8-323 (Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 49.2 ov), 9-331 (Fazalhaq Farooqi, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 Naim's struggles end with a chop-on! Farooqi's leaping again. It was a shortish ball that landed outside off and seamed in to go over off, Naim tried to guide it behind square on the off side, with the horizontal bat. But he was cramped for room and was surprised by the extra bounce. He was well in front of the crease as well 25/34.1 Litton's happening stay at the crease ends as he top edges the pull. Nabi takes a dolly at midwicket Farooqi's angle brought the bouncer in towards Litton's body. The batter was cramped and went through with the shot. Went off the edge, not far from the shoulder, and the visitors have an early breakthrough. Pace: 135kph 15/15.5 Mujeeb darts one past Shanto's outside edge, knocks out off stump! Length ball at 100kph spun away sharply. Shanto closed the bat face and tried playing the line. The turn meant he played down the wrong one. Mujeeb is over the moon, maybe it's just that jump... 20/216.3 Gone through him! The googly is such a potent weapon for Rashid and it does the job again. That ball drifted and pitched full outside off. Hridoy was playing for the turn away but the ball sneaks in to leave Bangladesh four down 65/417.6 Shakib misses the flick and the finger goes up straight away! Shakib reviews it though. That was on a length around off, going on with the angle. Shakib missed it completely as it crashed into his front pad, just below the knee roll. Could it be going down leg, though? Nope, it's clipping and it's umpire's call. Shakib has to go and Bangladesh's day just got worse 71/543.2 Pulled in the air... and it's taken! Handshakes in the Afghanistan dugout. Looks like Ebadot won't come out. The visitors complete the series win! The bumper was close to the helmet, Mushfiqur swivelled and swiped, didn't get enough. Mujeeb took it easily at deep square leg. 189/1018.3 Rashid Khan has another one! Afif falls first-ball! On a length on leg, it goes on with the angle while Afif was looking to flick expecting the legbreak. Takes the edge and lobs up to slip for a simple, simple catch 72/636.3 Mehidy tries to break loose but holes out to wide long-on! He got a full ball outside off, got close to the line and went to pummel a sweep. Rahmat ran to the right from long-on and took a running catch to end the 87-run stand. 159/738.6 LBW given right away This one looked dead. Bangladesh have two reviews and Hasan does go for it after a chat. Length ball came in, beat the inside edge and pinned Hasan on the pad. Hawk-Eye predicts it would clip leg stump. So the on-field decision remains 169/8Extras20 (b 4, lb 2, w 14)TOTAL189 all out (43.2 Overs, RR: 4.36)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Litton Das, 4.1 ov), 2-20 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 5.5 ov), 3-25 (Mohammad Naim, 8.1 ov), 4-65 (Towhid Hridoy, 16.3 ov), 5-71 (Shakib Al Hasan, 17.6 ov), 6-72 (Afif Hossain, 18.3 ov), 7-159 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 36.3 ov), 8-169 (Hasan Mahmud, 38.6 ov), 9-189 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 43.2 ov)
