    7.3 return catch to Rauf! He strikes third ball, as the rapid pace of 140kph, and the hard length trouble Naim. Rauf went short and on a sharp line - around middle and off, enough to almost cramp the batter - as Naim tried to pull. But the line wasn't any wider for that shot, and the rapid pace meant the ball took the top edge, and went to where an imaginary short midwicket would have been. Rauf moved to his left, and took an easy catch 45/3
    1.1 chipped to square leg first ball! Bangladesh's centurion from the last game falls without scoring today. And that, off a delivery which hardly deserved a wicket. Naseem went on the shorter side of a length, as the ball angled in on pitching, and ended on Mehidy's pads. He went for the clip, only to end up flicking to Fakhar at a comfortable height 0/1
    4.5 edged behind! The extra bounce - and perhaps the short length - made the difference. There was movement and bounce, as Litton ended up fending to the keeper. Afridi bowled it quite short, getting it to angle across and end wide of off. Litton went flashing with a flat bat, while looking surprised by the bounce, only to tickle it to Rizwan 31/2
    29.1 taken at deep backward square leg! Faheem breaks Shakib's resistance, and with that, the 100-run stand. Short of a length on middle, getting it to angle across to finish on off stump. Shakib went for the pull, but the bounce off the pitch didn't seem ideal enough for that. It just about got up to his stomach, but Shakib went ahead and found the fielder 147/5
    9.1 crashes into the stumps at 145kph! This just had the perfect combination of the right length, just enough movement, and rapid pace. Rauf angled this length delivery into the batter, pitching it on middle and off on that teasing length. Hridoy went for the flick, but seemed to have gone through a bit too early, while also being completely beaten by pace. The ball just about straightened, and smacked the middle and off stumps 47/4
    37.2 And Rauf gets the breakthrough! Mushfiqur looks to give charge to a length delivery outside off that was seaming away. Gets an edge that Rizwan grabs. Rizwan takes it just above head height but he is in pain now. He grabbed his left calf as he landed after taking that catch 190/7
    34.4 taken at square leg! The ball was sent up very high in the air, and Imam did well to keep his eyes on it even as Rizwan was approaching him. The ball was bowled short and quicker than his previous deliveries, as he also went on a stump-to-stump line this time. Shamim went hard with his attempted swing across the line, but ended up getting a top edge for a reverse-cup catch for Imam 174/6
    38.1 And he strikes right away! The short ball works for him as Afif goes for a pull. Takes a top edge and goes high in front and Faheem Ashraf runs across from mid-on to take that. That was short on off and seaming in to cramp him slightly 192/9
    37.3 Rauf has two in two! Length ball outside off, angling in ever so slightly. Taskin doesn't show much foot movement as he looks to drive and only manages a thin edge. Regulation take for Rizwan, who looks just fine now! Rauf on a hat-trick! 190/8
    38.4 And that will be that! Full on middle at 141 kph. Shoriful backs away and looks to drive it on the off side but misses completely. Naseem finishes with three, with Rauf missing out on a chance to complete his five-for. But he won't care. Pakistan have done brilliantly to bowl Bangladesh out for 193. And now, on to the batters! 193/10

    9.1 Oh huge appeal and the umpire waits and waits before finally giving it out! And Fakhar has reviewed it. Length ball on off angles in and Fakhar looks to flick but is beaten on the inside edge. And that's crashing into leg-stump so it's three reds and Shoriful does eventually get Fakhar! 35/1
    32.5 No hundred for Imam! Mehidy pushes it through full, with the ball drifting in to beat Imam's attempted slog-sweep. Nice comeback from Mehidy and Imam falls for 78 159/3
    15.3 bowled off the inside edge! There was a lack of bounce there too, to be fair, but it's a wicket nevertheless. Babar almost looked like reacting very late to this ball which was on the fuller side of a length just outside off, as it angled in. Thus, the ball came off the toe end of the bat, dropped just before the stumps, and went on to hit them. Perhaps the opening that could yet keep Bangladesh in the game 74/2
