- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 Rubel tears in from long-on and claims a stunning catch in the outfield. He plucks the ball even as it dips on him and holds his balance. Shakib jumps onto Rubel: that's how much it means to Dhaka Dynamites. Speared flat on off, Tamim ventures down the track but doesn't reach the pitch. He drags it off the toe end and holes out. Three wickets in four overs for Dhaka 52/35 Narine has Lewis chopping on. Innocuous short ball, breaks away outside off, keeps a bit low. Lewis cuts a long way away from the body and drags a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. Some respite for Dhaka Dynamites 38/15.4 Rubel strikes with his fourth ball. He hits the deck harder, like Russell did earlier. Angling in and straightening away to take the edge and carry through to the keeper 45/210.5 tossed up on middle, Kayes aims to force the pace. He steps out and hauls it away to Andre Russell at deep midwicket. Can't clear the biggest part of the ground. Dhaka's spinners are turning it on here 64/58.4 Shamsur is on the move as he misses a straight ball from Shakib. The finger goes up. Shamsur challenges the on-field out decision. Sliding on middle, Shamsur plays around his front pad and is struck on the knee-roll in line with middle and leg. The tracker returns umpire's call on leg stump 55/413.1 flighted on middle, Afridi goes for another sweep and offers catching practice to sweep square leg. He stretches out and splices it away to the man 10 yards out of the rope in the outfield 83/615.1 short of a length and wide outside off, Thisara throws his bat at the ball and nicks it off. Rubel picks up a wicket and possibly a back injury. He collapses in his followthrough. Something is wrong with his back. Time for the second time-out now 87/814.2 short, wide, Saif frees his arms and cracks it away to the right of sweeper cover. He comes back for the second. Talukdar hunts the ball down in the outfield and throws it to Nurul, who gathers it and flips the bails off. The bat is on the line and Saif is gone. A dive could have saved him 85/720 Hasan jumps across off and scoops a low full-toss straight back onto his stumps. Nevertheless, Hasan has dragged his side past 125 127/1018 Rubel nips out Wahab! He hits a hard length again, on off or just a shade outside, Wahab swings to the leg side. Ends up skewing a catch to deep third man. Rubel has his hands aloft in sheer delight 109/9Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL127 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Evin Lewis, 4.6 ov), 2-45 (Anamul Haque, 5.4 ov), 3-52 (Tamim Iqbal, 7.1 ov), 4-55 (Shamsur Rahman, 8.4 ov), 5-64 (Imrul Kayes, 10.5 ov), 6-83 (Shahid Afridi, 13.1 ov), 7-85 (Mohammad Saifuddin, 14.2 ov), 8-87 (Thisara Perera, 15.1 ov), 9-109 (Wahab Riaz, 17.6 ov), 10-127 (Mahedi Hasan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4 Mizanur gives himself some room again, drives inside-out again, this is hit straight to extra-cover. Kayes catches the ball with ease 17/21.5 arm ball from Hasan, again, he strikes the pad and the finger goes up. Tharanga decides against a review. Slides in from around the stumps, full, hits the pad in line with middle as Tharanga shuffles across a bit and falls over the flick. He falls for a six-ball duck. The tracker returns umpire's call on leg stump and the bowler lets out a big roar 6/14.1 Saif strikes. Back of a length and skids on outside off, keeps a touch low, Talukar looks to force it away through extra-cover. Instead, he drags a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. Two wickets in two balls for Comilla 17/35.5 Hasan wheels away after bowling Shakib. Straight ball from Hasan, flatter and faster, Shakib goes for another almighty slog-sweep but he only collects fresh air. The ball slides in and takes out middle stump 29/411.3 Afridi strikes with his third ball, top catch in the outfield from Wahab. Short wrong'un from Afridi from wide of the crease. Narine skips back and drags a pull in the air. Wahab gets into a side-on position but hangs onto the ball 71/516.4 The pressure tells on Pollard. This is the tenth dot on the bounce, and this results in the wicket of Pollard. Pollard backs away even before Saifuddin delivers this wide full-toss. Pollard reaches out for the ball and winds up carving a catch straight to extra-cover. Great passage of play for Comilla 90/616.5 Double-strike from Saiuddin in the 17th over. Full and wide outside off, stretches out and slices it in the air. Lewis at backward point claims an excellent overhead catch. He had hurt his leg while batting and seems to have aggravated it with this catch. And that's the 11th dot on the trot 90/718.5 short of a length and slanting away outside off, Hom aims to muscle it over the leg side. Instead, he can only skew it to deep third man, where the catch is clean. They aren't checking for the no-ball this time 112/819.1 back of a length and skids back in at off, Rubel is late onto the ball and is pinned on the front pad below the knee-roll. This is pretty adjacent and Rubel walks back for a duck.
