- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6 that's the bowler's response. It's the perfect response after being taken apart for a four. A searing yorker that Shanto cannot get under. Tries to bring the bat down but the ball sneaks from below to shatter the stumps 55/110.5 that's a dolly to get out to. Nothing great about that delivery. It's full and in the slot to be hit. Klinger comes down the track and off all the places in the off-side field, he knocks it straight into the hands of cover. Does not keep his drive down either 87/213.2 is that an edge? Yes, it is. Mahmudullah hangs back in the crease and sticks his bat out wanting to run one down to third man and the ball shapes away a tad to kiss the outside edge on the way to the wicketkeeper 95/314.5 advances down the ground to a length ball and swipes blindly. But the ball is not full enough and spins away from him to beat his bat and leave the wicketkeeper to do a straightforward stumping 103/420 short ball, gets too big on him and he top-edges a pull to the wicketkeeper. Buttler moves to his left behind the wicket and snaffles it 174/618.5 that's an unfortunate dismissal. Ariful hammers a fullish ball back to the bowler and the ball hits the boot of the bowler before taking out the stumps at the non-striker's end with Brathwaite backing up too far 150/5Extras11 (lb 2, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL174/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 5.6 ov), 2-87 (Michael Klinger, 10.5 ov), 3-95 (Mahmudullah, 13.2 ov), 4-103 (Nicholas Pooran, 14.5 ov), 5-150 (Carlos Brathwaite, 18.5 ov), 6-174 (Ariful Haque, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 comes down the track and makes a little room as he looks to heave it over the off side. Gets it off the toe end as the ball comes on straight instead of angling into him and he skies off he toe end to cover where Mahmudullah takes the catch 68/30.3 loopy top-spinner that refuses to spin. The batsman is playing for the turn and goes for a flick but the ball comes on straight to beat the bat, past the outside edge and just about clips off-stump 1/17.4 Brathwaite makes up for his earlier lapse with a sharp catch. A fuller ball that is sliding in and Kayes lofts it down the ground. It's more of a chip than anything else and he gets no distance. Carlos Brathwaite runs to his left from long-off and slides across to take a smartly-judged catch 64/213.3 fuller ball, again making the batsman reach out and Buttler gets an outside edge as he throws hard hands at it. Lobs in the air and backward point takes the catch 90/417 that may be the game? Flight down leg, Malik comes to the pitch but it's short enough for the ball to spin away, takes the leading edge and lobs to point 127/517.2 back of a length offcutter, invitingly fires it up outside off and the batsman sticks his bat in the corridor of uncertainty to send a feather to the keeper 128/6Extras14 (b 4, lb 7, w 3)TOTAL160/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Solomon Mire, 0.3 ov), 2-64 (Imrul Kayes, 7.4 ov), 3-68 (Tamim Iqbal, 9.2 ov), 4-90 (Jos Buttler, 13.3 ov), 5-127 (Shoaib Malik, 16.6 ov), 6-128 (Graeme Cremer, 17.2 ov), 7-149 (Raqibul Hasan, 19.3 ov)
