    6.5 Edged and taken! Tamim pays the price for opening the bat face fully. He tried to guide the back-of-length ball around fifth stump to deep third, ended up tickling it to the Gurbaz for a regulation catch. Farooqi leaps in the air as Tamim walks back disappointed. It looked like Tamim started the shot with an angled bat and just opened it further to get it fine, that got the tickle close to the sticker. Gift of a wicket though, given Afghanistan's extras were had put them off track. 30/1
    11.2 Litton pulls it straight to deep-backward square, he cannot believe it and is at the crease till a minute or so later. Mujeeb was on flight right after it was taken. It was a half-tracker down leg. Litton made room, exposed all three stumps, and cleared his front leg and lumped it but could not find the timing. It went flat and into the palms of Rahmat, who took it in front of his chest with a little lunge. 65/2
    12.1 Nabi strikes first ball and it's a soft serve with the waffle. It was full and down leg, Shanto went on one knee and swept it. There was slight indecision and it popped up off the top edge. Saleem, at short fine, took a dolly. 72/3
    22.6 Oh what a catch at cover! Shakib went for the drive but hits it uppish and Nabi dives to his right and grabs it very low. Omarzai had an expensive first over, but now he has come back to get rid of Bangladesh's danger man in the middle order! Omarzai pitched it up close to off and Shakib's cover drive looked half-hearted 109/4
    40.5 Edged and gone! Goes short outside off and Hridoy takes a few steps forward and across before trying to cut. The width wasn't quite there on offer and he can only manage an edge that Gurbaz is happy to gobble up! A valiant effort from Hridoy comes to an end 164/9
    23.5 And of course, Rashid strikes! Mushfiqur has chopped on, off his legs rather. It's a length ball that he went back to pull but misses his shot and the ball ricochets off his left leg onto the stumps 112/5
    27.2 Big appeal as Rashid's legbreak on a length beats the flick. Umpire says no but Afghanistan review That pitched on leg and turned. No bat, ultraedge confirms. And it's all three reds and Rashid Khan has his second. Very good review from Afghanistan. Rashid's excellent spell pays more dividends 128/6
    32.6 Big lbw appeal is upheld. Mehidy reviews. Shortish ball from wide of the crease angles in, doesn't bounce as much as Mehidy expects. He crouches and tries to pull. Gets beaten on the pull and is hit high on the pad and between the thighs. He's in front of the stumps. Hawk-Eye shows three reds, review lost. Reward for Farooqi who's kept the length consistently on the shorter side. A bit of variable bounce helps him get his second. 139/7
    37.2 Big shout and the umpire raises his finger immediately! Taskin reviews after pondering over it. Mujeeb, from around the wicket, floated it up on a length outside off. Taskin plays for the turn away but the ball goes in with the angle to rap him on the knee roll of the back pad. HawkEye returns three reds, Bangladesh are out of reviews and eight wickets down. The decision to give Mujeeb a ninth over pays dividends 153/8
