    16.2 one hit too many and he's gone! Shanto can't free his arms as he swings through the line, ends up slicing this to the edge of the ring at mid-off. 122/4
    1.4 Jaffa finds the outside edge and it's taken! It's full, just outside off in the channel. Soumya Sarkar looks to push it towards cover but is tentative. The ball moves away and takes the outside edge, it rises too and the keeper takes it at around shoulder-height. Muzarabani is delighted, Zimbabwe have the early wicket. 10/1
    5.3 Leading edge off the scoop, taken at short third! Litton was walking across and Muzarabani went wider. Went length to ensure the batter couldn't get under it. Litton tried to shovel it away but the ball ballooned off the closing bat-face and Chatara took a comfortable catch. Muzarabani's punchy celebration is out 32/2
    12.5 that is a much-needed wicket and it's down to an outstanding catch by Muzarabani. It's the flight and turn that has done it for Williams. Shakib looks to swing this over deep midwicket but loses his shape in doing so, ends up getting a top-edge that swirls high but Muzarabani keeps his eyes on the ball at square leg and ends up just about pouching it as it comes down. Massive partnership broken. Could be a big moment in the game. 86/3
    19.6 struck flush on the pad, Afif looks to walk across and help him over short fine but misses. Umpire Erasmus raises the finger. Afif reviews in the hope it's sliding down. Must say that's an optimistic call. The ball would've smashed down leg stump. 150/7
    19.2 carves this straight to short third. Ngavara goes Yorker-length, Mosaddek looks to scythe this behind point but the ball flies off the thick edge to the fielder. They check upstairs to see if the ball bounced as soon as it made contact with the bat, but it seems alright. It flew off the face of the bat. 147/5
    19.4 in and out at mid-off, Oh, Williams! This was hit hard and hit straight to him. Should've been taken. But having dropped the catch, Williams is alert enough to the possibility of the second as he fires in a superb throw on the bounce to the keeper who whips the bails off with Nurul just short of the crease. So Williams dropped the catch but made up for it with the run out 149/6

    0.3 Slashes, top edge takes it to deep third! Like the last ball, this had width. Madhevere went harder, couldn't get enough on it. The Fizz takes a comfy catch and Taskin's happy. 4/1
    2.4 Wide ball finds the edge, Taskin is pumped as he celebrates! Hung it wide, Ervine looked to slash it along square. It took a thin edge and the keeper took a regulation catch. Ervine's head falls in frustration.. Taskin's broken through again! 17/2
    5.2 Chipped but it's off the bottom, taken by Shakib at mid-off! It was a length ball, driven on the up, it was ballooning and dipping low to Shakib's left but he dove across and took it with outstretched hands. The Fizz has success in his first over, furthering Bangladesh's powerplay advantage. 35/3
    18.4 Shakib hits bulls eye! There's the twist. What athleticism! Pushed into the off side in the hope of scampering a single but Shakib is alert to the possibility and hares across, slides, turns around in a jiffy and nails a direct hit at the bowler's end. Outstanding work. Shakib was off balance as he threw but boy did he nail it or what? 132/6
    5.5 Pulled and Raza's holed out to square leg! Huge wicket! Afif is ecstatic, Raza leaves distraught. Was a length ball at the body that Raza looked to pull square and in the air. Got a top edge and it went straight up. 35/4
    11.2 there's the wicket, precisely why he's been brought back. Taskin takes off on a celebratory run. Chakabva wafts at this delivery well outside off, it's a nothing shot really, and ends up getting the thinnest of inside edges on that as Nurul completes a simple catch. 69/5

    19.2 muscled, absolutely muscled. It may have been six in Harare or Bulawayo, maybe even in Mirpur. But hey this is The Gabba. Biiiiiiiiig square boundary and although Evans absolutely muscled this off the middle of the bat, he found deep midwicket. Soumya Sarkar with the catch, ice-cool under pressure. It was that much tougher because the ball was hit into the shadows, it can be tricky but he made it look easy. Surely Bangladesh's game now? 136/7
    19.5 got him! Nurul smashes the stumps down and roars in jubilation. Ngarava charges down the pitch but doesn't get to the pitch, goes through and misses it completely. Simplest of stumping for the keeper. 146/8
