- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Big lbw appeal, given! Is Shaheen's 100th ODI wicket confirmed? Not yet, Tanzid reviews. Shaheen was shaping it away, keeping the ball outside off till now. This time, he darts it in off a length. 130ks, Tanzid was stuck on the crease and tried to turn it across. Got beat on the inside edge, ball hit the top of the front pad. Hawk-Eye shows it'd go on to clip the top of leg stump. That confirms it. Shaheen has 100 ODI wickets! 0/120.5 Litton stands still, in utter disbelief, as he's ballooned an innocuous ball to midwicket! Huge bonus for Pakistan. 83ks. Offbreak on a length, landed around off and spun in, Litton went back and closed the bat-face, in an attempt to work it square but got a leading edge that's popped straight to Salman. Dil Dil Pakistan time again. Nasser Hussain says Litton didn't move for 25 seconds after getting out, he practiced the shot and trudged off. 102/42.4 Softie! Shanto clips it off the pad and Usama takes it at forward square leg. It was full and the shot was on, but Shanto had the ball hover low, right in the fielder's direction and Usama lunged forward to take it. Afridi has two wickets and as many star celebrations. Pace: 135ks. 6/25.6 Haris goes up in appeal for caught behind, Rizwan doesn't. Umpire raises his finger and Mushfiqur walks back! Haris goes back to a good length, hangs it just outside off. Mushfqur's squared up as he tries to block it and feathers it to the keeper. 144.7 kph. Three boundaries in the over but it ends in a wicket 23/330.4 Shaheen comes in, Shaheen gets him out! Magical bowling. Comes around the wicket, lands it on length and shapes away ever so slightly to hit the top of the pad and then the top of middle. Good innings from mahmudullah ends, and Shaheen has delivered once more 130/539.3 topedges a pull shot, and Agha Salman nestles underneath to take a simple catch at midwicket! The change in the attack from Babar has worked. Shakib just couldn't get on top of it, and ends up skying it. Bangladesh lose their talisman just as he was warming up. 185/731.3 and gone next ball, nicked off to first slip!. Usama flighted it outside off, making him reach for it. No footwork, casual from Hridoy, and Ifti takes a straightforward catch at first slip 140/643.1 Off stump out the ground! 140ks, length ball reverses back in and beats Mehidy's swipe across the line. He was standing on off, trying to clobber it but the movement did him in. Mehidy closes his eyes and clenches in frustration as he walks back 200/843.3 Ooo, dat juicy! Swings away and rattles middle and off! It was full, swung away late, Taskin tried to push it straight by playing the line but was done in by the reverse swing 201/945.1 Yorker trickles off the boot onto the stumps! Yorker on the boot, it was just outside leg but reverse swing was bringing it closer to the stumps. The Fizz's feet, in reflex, followed the line and he tried to tuck it square. Flicked it onto his pads and the ball rolled uncontrollably off the pads to the hit timber 204/10Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL204 all out (45.1 Overs, RR: 4.51)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tanzid Hasan, 0.5 ov), 2-6 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 2.4 ov), 3-23 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 5.6 ov), 4-102 (Litton Das, 20.5 ov), 5-130 (Mahmudullah, 30.4 ov), 6-140 (Towhid Hridoy, 31.3 ov), 7-185 (Shakib Al Hasan, 39.3 ov), 8-200 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 43.1 ov), 9-201 (Taskin Ahmed, 43.3 ov), 10-204 (Mustafizur Rahman, 45.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.1 sweeps and he's caught plumb in front! Shafique reviewed straightaway, but there's no edge, and he looks in trouble. Hawkeye confirms three reds, so I'm not sure what that review was about. A bit silly. Anyway, off he goes 128/127.3 Slog swept hard and flat, finds Hridoy cow corner! No hundred for Fakhar. It was full and outside off, tossed up and Fakhar went for a hack across. He'd found success with it for a while but not this time. His team-mates stand up and applaud as he walks back in. 169/325.4 Tries to pump it down the ground but holes out to long-on! It was full, floated up, spun in a bit which meant that Babar hit it off the inner-half of the bat. He went through with the shot, ball floated up high but not go far. Easy catch for Mahmudullah. 160/2Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL205/3 (32.3 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-128 (Abdullah Shafique, 21.1 ov), 2-160 (Babar Azam, 25.4 ov), 3-169 (Fakhar Zaman, 27.3 ov)
