- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.2 oh my, what a delivery that is! This is what any left-arm quick going round the wicket dreams of seeing. Perfect length, pitching on off stump and straightening past the outside edge to hit top of off. Not too much Liton could have done about it - maybe take a bigger stride forward in defence? 12/32.5 out for a duck on comeback, and that's very well bowled. He's been bringing him forward with his lengths so far, and he digs this one in short, and outside off stump. Gets it up to shoulder height, and Soumya is in no position to control his pull. Ends up skying it and offering a simple catch to square leg. Mohammad Amir has been struggling for wickets, and his replacement strikes in his second over 5/13.5 and he follows up with a beaut and beats Mominul for pace! Back of a length, pitches outside off and nips back in off the track, skids off the wicket and Mominul is late bringing his bat down in defence. Didn't really matter, because it would have beaten his inside edge anyway. Cannons off the back pad and leaves his off stump spinning. Pakistan's left-arm quicks are on fire here 12/241.4 gone, that's beautifully bowled! Mushfiqur falls one short of what would have been a magnificent hundred. Fullish outside off, and again he gets it to nip away off the track, against the angle. Looks to drive it with an open face, and only manages an edge through to the keeper 197/633.4 caught and bowled! Back of a length on off, and this is too close to his body. He slogs rather uncomfortably, and takes a leading edge. The ball's in the air for a while, and Hasan Ali runs forward towards the batsman, and then takes the easiest of catches. Mithun falls after a fighting innings. 156/436.1 full on middle stump, and skidding straight through! Kayes is on the back foot, and the ball hits his front leg as he tries to defend. Shadab appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Kayes asks Mushfiqur about reviewing but the senior batsman tells him to walk back. Smart choice, one reckons. 167/547.3 bowled him! Length ball angling into off stump, and perhaps Mahmudullah was better served looking to hit down the ground. Went across the line instead - midwicket was inside the circle - and ended up missing completely. That's four for Junaid now. He's been utterly brilliant today 230/845.2 gone! Again, he goes full, angling in towards off stump. Isn't quite a yorker, and that works against Mehidy as he looks to flick this over midwicket. Not full enough to force him to play along the ground, too full to give him the elevation to get it over the fielder, and in the end he offers him a chest-high catch 221/748.5 and that's that. Back of a length slower ball on off stump, Mashrafe makes himself room as always, and goes for the big hit down the ground. The boundaries here are massive, and there's no way he's clearing that man at long-on 239/1048.4 Oh dear, that's a terrible way to get run out.Length ball on off stump, looks to clear his front leg and flat-bat to long-off. The bowler moves to his left and cuts the ball off, and the batsmen still look to steal a quick single. Bit of a brain fade, and the bowler simply has to jog to the stumps and flick the bails off 239/9Extras9 (lb 8, w 1)TOTAL239 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 4.89)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Soumya Sarkar, 2.5 ov), 2-12 (Mominul Haque, 3.5 ov), 3-12 (Litton Das, 4.2 ov), 4-156 (Mohammad Mithun, 33.4 ov), 5-167 (Imrul Kayes, 36.1 ov), 6-197 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 41.4 ov), 7-221 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 45.2 ov), 8-230 (Mahmudullah, 47.3 ov), 9-239 (Rubel Hossain, 48.4 ov), 10-239 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 full and wide outside off, and he drills this straight to mid on! This is hit very hard but Rubel throws himself into the air, and the ball sticks in his hand! Another failure for Fakhar. This is an extraordinary catch. Fakhar looks shellshocked after using his feet to get to the delivery's pitch. 2/140.5 Oh dear, he's gone down the wicket! Length ball, but wide outside off stump. Imam's halfway down the track, and the ball is too far away from him. Deceived by the seam-up arm ball, and Liton Das displays some excellent glovework 167/71.2 big shout for lbw! And given. Full on middle and leg, and the ball skids straight through. Babar tries to defend from near his pads, but the ball stays low and hits his
frontback leg. Imam suggests Babar shouldn't review. He's walking back. Impact was in front of off stump. 3/23.3 edged to the keeper! Full outside off, and angling further away. Sarfraz tries to drive this away from his body, but the ball takes the feather-edge and the catch is gobbled by the diving keeper to his right. Excellent work in the field by Bangladesh thus far. Another failure for Sarfraz 18/320.1 Mashrafe takes a screamer! Full on middle, and he attempts to chip this over midwicket, but the fielder dives like Superman and takes an amazing catch to remove the batsman. Malik looks absolutely gobsmacked. 85/425.1 back of a length on middle stump, and the pull has taken a top-edge through to Liton Das! Shadab's frustrating knock comes to an end. His maiden ODI wicket 94/539.2 ooh, that's superb glovework to follow a beauty of a delivery. Classic offspinner's dismissal, lovely flight outside off and it's the one that drifts away slightly and continues along that trajectory after pitching. Draws Asif forward, makes him reach for the ball, and in the process causes him to lift his back foot out of the crease. Liton collects and removes the bails in one motion, and Bangladesh are back on top once more 165/645.1 holes out to deep midwicket A gentle length ball angling into his body, and he tries to pull this over the mid-wicket boundary. Hits it well, but not well enough. The substitute keeps his calm near the boundary 186/943.5 back of a length on off, and he swings hard towards the leg side. But he's toe-ended this shot, and the skyer is comfortably taken at mid on running to his left 181/8Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL202/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.04)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Fakhar Zaman, 0.5 ov), 2-3 (Babar Azam, 1.2 ov), 3-18 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 3.3 ov), 4-85 (Shoaib Malik, 20.1 ov), 5-94 (Shadab Khan, 25.1 ov), 6-165 (Asif Ali, 39.2 ov), 7-167 (Imam-ul-Haq, 40.5 ov), 8-181 (Hasan Ali, 43.5 ov), 9-186 (Mohammad Nawaz, 45.1 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB Mehidy Hasan Miraz 10 1 28 2 2.80 33 0 0 0 0 Mustafizur Rahman 10 2 43 4 4.30 36 5 0 2 0 Mashrafe Mortaza 7 1 33 0 4.71 24 1 1 0 1 Rubel Hossain 8 0 38 1 4.75 23 1 1 2 0 Mahmudullah 10 0 38 1 3.80 32 2 0 1 0 Soumya Sarkar 5 0 19 1 3.80 16 1 0 0 0
