    25.2 huge wicket! Gurbaz goes down the track but it looks a slower ball. He opens the face of the bat to go over covers but Tanzid is there in the deep. He sprints in and completes the catch comfortably. Gurbaz is disappointed with himself - he has thrown away a start. He is on his haunches, Fizz tumbles in joy 112/4
    8.2 Shakib provides the breakthrough. Tosses it up outside off. Zadran goes for the sweep but he has to really fetch it. Gets a top edge and Tanzid makes no mistake at deep square leg 47/1
    15.1 Has he got all of it? No, he hasn't! Miscues the skier and Shakib gets his second wicket today. The drinks break breaks the momentum as Rahmat Shah gets a top edge and Das at silly mid-off takes a regulation catch, reverse-cupping it. Rahmat looks crestfallen but he has to take the long walk back into the pavilion, perhaps not the best of the shots in this situation when a partnership was needed 83/2
    24.4 this was on the cards given Shahidi was struggling. Comes down the ground and goes for the slog. The ball hits near the toe end of the bat and goes miles up in the air. Hridoy keeps his calm as he settles under it at mid-on, at the edge of the 30-yard circle 112/3
    28.4 bowled 'im! A length ball at the stumps that just held its line. Zadran was playing for the spin as he pushes at it. The ball beats him on the outside edge and clatters into the stumps. Afghanistan 122 for 5 and in deep trouble 122/5
    29.6 the leg stump goes cartwheeling! A length ball angling in, Nabi was looking to play that square of the wicket on the off side. Gets an inside edge that crashes into the leg stump. Afghanistan 126 for 6 126/6
    35.2 Wrecked his stumps! Goes for an expansive drive and ends up making a mess of his stumps! That's a cracking delivery probing on fourth stump line and triggers an error. Afghanistan staring into the abyss; this has been a collapse of epic proportions 156/8
    34.2 Rashid departs! A length ball around off. Rashid was looking to work it on the leg side, gets an inside edge onto the leg stump. Afghanistan may even struggle to reach 200 from here 150/7
    36.3 Ball rip though the stumps! Tries to boom a slower ball downtown and loses the plot! Another big wicket for Bangladesh because I remember he did bat really well recently in the third ODI against Pakistan in Colombo and scored a terrific half-century so more was expected from him but this is a different ball game altogether as Mehidy celebrates with a vicious fist-pump and gives him a fiery send-off. Mujeeb disconsolate after perishing early in the piece, not backing himself to stay on the crease for a longer period and goes for the big hit without sizing up Mehidy at all throwing away his wicket 156/9
    37.2 And that's the final nail in the coffin! Afghanistan shooting themselves in the foot as Naveen-ul-Haq holes out to deep midwicket, tries to get on top of the ball but can't connect well as Afghanistan get bowled out for a paltry score of 156. 156/10

    4.1 a direct hit and Tanzid could be on his way back. A length ball around off. Litton punched it towards point, took a step down. Tanzid charged towards the other end but then Litton sent him back. It was too late. Tanzid was a bit slow as well in getting back and the direct hit found his bat on the crease 19/1
    6.4 chopped on! Litton looks to charge down the ground and then looks to place it towards covers. In the process, he ended up playing away from the body and got an inside edge onto the leg stump 27/2
    28.1 THAT'S AN ABSOLUTE SCREAMER FROM RAHAMT SHAT AT MID-OFF! Wow, you cannot do that. Mehidy tries to lift him up and over mid-off but didn't get all of it, ball was swirling away but Rahmat, caught, kept his balance and gamely jumped one-handed to pluck it out of thin air. Oh wait, has he spilled it while tumbling over? No, he hasn't so the signal remains OUT. That effort will give something for Afghanistan fans to cheer about. He went airborne and instinctively flicks his hand out and surprisingly the ball stuck in it. However, props to Mehidy for a fine innings 124/3

    33.3 Miscued pull. One big shot too many? Not much pace to work with and he doesn't need any second invitation to go for a full-blooded pull, cracks the pull off the backfoot but he didn't get all of it as it goes straight to Fazal at deep square who holds onto a nifty catch 146/4
