- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 tries to cut with zero room and chops on though he backs away to make some space. Did himself in by trying force a shot there. Kept a little low as well 9/12.4 shortish outside off, lashes at it hard but finds point. Straight to him 19/24 what a catch! Ben Howell, take a bow. Gazi comes down the track and launches this over mid-off again but slightly off the outside of the bat as he moves a little too away from it. As a result, it doesn't have enough to carry to the boundary and Howell sprints back from extra cover and snaffles it brilliantly tumbling to his front 33/317 swipes at a fuller one and ends up swinging early, gets an edge off the top of the bat and the keeper settles under it 161/68.2 plumb in front. Dipping fuller ball, beats the closing face of the bat and pins him in front of middle and leg 64/415.1 back of a length, miscued off the toe end as he swivels and drags a pull from outside off straight into the hands of deep midwicket 142/519.1 swipes without room and this length ball sneaks past the flashing bat to smash into leg stump 177/719.4 nips in from a fuller length and beats the swipe to pin him in front of off 182/820 full outside off, swipes and holes out to deep midwicket 183/9Extras12 (b 7, w 5)TOTAL183/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Did not bat: Al IslamFall of wickets: 1-9 (Hazratullah Zazai, 1.1 ov), 2-19 (Sunil Narine, 2.4 ov), 3-33 (Rony Talukdar, 3.6 ov), 4-64 (Mizanur Rahman, 8.2 ov), 5-142 (Kieron Pollard, 15.1 ov), 6-161 (Shakib Al Hasan, 16.6 ov), 7-177 (Andre Russell, 19.1 ov), 8-182 (Shuvagata Hom, 19.4 ov), 9-183 (Nurul Hasan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 what a catch! Russell with a screamer! This is unbelievable. Tremendous effort at the straight boundary. Gayle mows this fuller one straight over and this has six written all over it. Russell is at long-off and he runs towards the ball, leaps back full-length, back arched, and snaffles it overhead with reverse-cupped hands. He tumbles over with the momentum, landing on his back, but lets the ball go in time for the long-on fielder Pollard, backing up, to grab it 19/13.3 shortish, arches back and tries to run it down with an open face and gets a glove to the keeper 25/215.3 has he been stumped here? Advances down the ground, swipes across the line and completely misses. Turns over and jams the bat down but he's too late as the bails have been whipped off 146/317.4 gets down to slog a length ball that goes straight through and flattens middle stump 161/516.2 back of a length, backs away and punches straight to Narine at extra cover. Didn't get the room he needed to punch freely 149/419 fired in extremely quick by Narine - over 110kph. Dipping prodigiously around his off stump as well, can't do much about it. Jams the bat down but the ball sneaks through to flatten offstump 170/917.5 clips the bails, has it? Another big slog attempted to one that's nowhere close to full enough. Referred upstairs. Yep, gone through the bat and just tipped the bail with the gentlest of brushes 161/618 he gets it! Hat-trick for Al Islam. He wheels away in celebration. Beautifully bowled! On a length, Reza closes the face, playing for the turn, but it spins minimally to take the leading edge to first slip's hands. 161/718.3 advances down the ground and tries to heave this over but deep midwicket dives forward to snaffle it. Andre Russell the fielder, making a difficult catch look like a breeze 162/8Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL181/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Chris Gayle, 2.3 ov), 2-25 (Mehedi Maruf, 3.3 ov), 3-146 (Rilee Rossouw, 15.3 ov), 4-149 (Ravi Bopara, 16.2 ov), 5-161 (Mohammad Mithun, 17.4 ov), 6-161 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 17.5 ov), 7-161 (Farhad Reza, 17.6 ov), 8-162 (Sohag Gazi, 18.3 ov), 9-170 (Benny Howell, 18.6 ov)
