- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.5 full on off, chips a drive straight into the hands of extra cover. Didn't come on and he checked his stroke 40/15.3 short of a length, angled in, Junaid pulls without much room to free up those arms and slices a catch to deep square leg 40/27.4 down the ground, tries to loft it straight over but gets done in by the sharp angle into him and chips it into the hands of long-on 44/310.3 appeal for leg before and given. Mahmudullah reviews, but this was an awful shot. Playing all across it. Hanging half back and closing the face across the line of one slanted across him in the in-between length. Pinned in front of off and we wait for ball-tracking. No inside-edge as the zoom-in confirms. Umpire's call as ball-tracking shows the top of off being clipped 64/416.1 full, angled across around off, heaved over and gets a ton of elevation but it's the slower one, the offcutter, and he doesn't get enough distance, holes out to long-on 101/614.3 backs away and swipes at a fuller one. Can't get hold of it as long-on settles under it. Khulna desperately need a late surge here 92/518 inswinger, almost a yorker, sneaks past the bat as he plays across the line and smashes into the stumps 114/719.4 backs away and taps a slower ball down the pitch and takes off for a single. The bowler runs forward on the follow-through, picks it up and fells the stumps at the striker's end with Shoriful out of his crease 117/820 yorker, seared in from around the wicket and dipping to take out leg stump as he jams the bat down and misses 117/9Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, w 6)TOTAL117/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85)Did not bat: Zahir KhanFall of wickets: 1-40 (Paul Stirling, 4.5 ov), 2-40 (Zunaed Siddique, 5.3 ov), 3-44 (Jahurul Islam, 7.4 ov), 4-64 (Mahmudullah, 10.3 ov), 5-92 (Ariful Haque, 14.3 ov), 6-101 (Dawid Malan, 16.1 ov), 7-114 (David Wiese, 17.6 ov), 8-117 (Shoriful Islam, 19.4 ov), 9-117 (Subashis Roy, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 taken running from long on to his right! Full on middle, and he skips down the wicket before lifting a shot to the leg side. But it's come off the bat's toe end... and Ariful does very, very well running diagonally to complete a catch 11/114.2 tossed up outside off, and Mominul goes for a big heave over to the leg side. But that's been sliced, and long off makes no mistake. A big partnership comes to an end... but is that too late? 100/217.1 bowled round his legs! Length ball outside leg stump, and turning around his hips as he misses the flick. What a delivery, but too late on the day to trouble Rajshahi too much. A wonderful innings from the captain comes to an end 109/3Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL118/3 (18.5 Overs, RR: 6.26)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Mohammad Hafeez, 1.2 ov), 2-100 (Mominul Haque, 14.2 ov), 3-109 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 17.1 ov)
