Hasan Mahmud to Nabi, FOUR, Nabi drills this down the ground. Long-off enter the frame in time to cut this off. 19 off the last over

Hasan Mahmud to Nabi, FOUR, cute little glance by getting inside the line to this full toss. Beats short fine leg and gets four more. The agony continues for Bangladesh

Hasan Mahmud to Nabi, SIX, low full toss, swung away over mid-wicket and it's another six. He was 17 off 23 balls at one point, but he's moved to 54 off just 35 balls now. Fifty number 18 in ODIs for the master. Gentle raise the bat to the crowd and the dressing room. What a champion player

Hasan Mahmud to Nabi, FOUR, Nabi drags the slog behind square and it runs away to the fence for four more. Hasan Mahmud tried the yorker but missed the hole

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Nabi, SIX, this is absolute carnage from young Nabi. Gee, this is what experience can do. He just hung around there and look at him stealing runs for fun at the end because he knew he will have his time and that's how the game works. He's now got his side an above-par total. This time Mehidy Hasan Miraz tries to hide the ball wide of off but Nabi reaches out and smashes it over long-on

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Nabi, SIX, and again! This is a brilliant hit. Mehidy Hasan Miraz almost hit the blockhole. Nabi kept his bat low to get under the ball and belted it high over long-on. Great power behind the shot and the 260 is up now

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Nabi, SIX, smashed! The injury playing right into Nabi's hands. He gets to face an offie who offers slot from round the wicket, with the front leg out of the way Nabi smacks it over mid-wicket

Nahid Rana to Nabi, 1 run, low full toss, Nabi clips it to deep mid-wicket. Bilal Sami charges back for the second run but Nabi sends him back as he would have been well short. Can Sami survive this over?

Hasan Mahmud to Allah Ghazanfar, out Bowled!! Now he knocks the off stump out of the ground with a pacy length ball. Ghazanfar so late in trying the cut shot, ball sneaked through and the stump did a mini cartwheel. Hasan Mahmud will be on a hat-trick if this innings goes to the last over. Allah Ghazanfar b Hasan Mahmud 0(1)

Hasan Mahmud to Nangeyalia Kharote, out Bowled!! Excellent slower ball. Kharote didn't read it, swung across the line too early and missed the ball to lose top of off stump. Kharote wanted a big swing over mid-wicket. Played a decent hand though, nudging ones and twos. Nangeyalia Kharote b Hasan Mahmud 10(12)

Hasan Mahmud to Nabi, SIX, that will do! What a timely blow from the veteran. Backed away to go big, Hasan Mahmud offered a length delivery, Nabi smashed the pull over mid-wicket

Tanvir Islam to Nangeyalia Kharote, 1 run, in the air, dropped. Rishad doesn't accept the sitter. Kharote swung hard and didn't find the middle of the bat, played it to long-off and escaped the mishit

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Nabi, no run, flatter delivery pitching well down leg side, Nabi missed the flick and got hit on the pad but counts for nothing. Bangladesh only lose their review

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Nabi, FOUR, advances and belts this flighted delivery down the ground for a boundary to the left of long-on

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! In the air, smart grab at deep cover. Rashid couldn't control the urge of dominating the bowler. Goes for glory as he wants quick runs. Plays a big lofted cover drive, slices it squarer than intended. Towhid runs to the right and takes a well-judged tumbling catch to the right. Ensured the ball was firmly in his hands even as he was rolling on the floor. Rashid Khan c Towhid Hridoy b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 8(6) [6s-1]

Tanvir Islam to Rashid Khan, SIX, strong statement first ball! Stepped out to the pitch of this flighted delivery and played a delightful lofted drive inside out over cover for a handsome hit. Off the mark in style

Tanvir Islam to Azmatullah, out Bowled!! What a brilliant ball to get rid of the dangerous Azmatullah. Pitched around off stump, drew the batter forward, spun it past the bat and hit top of off stump. That will give Tanvir Islam a satisfying night's sleep. Azmatullah was on the front foot to drive, got beaten in the flight and off the pitch as well. Azmatullah b Tanvir Islam 20(21) [4s-3]

Nahid Rana to Azmatullah, FOUR, short and drifting down the leg-side, Omarzai shuffles inside the line and helps it away with a flick to the left of fine leg

Nahid Rana to Azmatullah, FOUR, short and wide, cut away nicely for four over backward point

Nahid Rana to Nabi, leg byes, 1 run, the angle was the issue. Good length delivery angling in from over the wicket, impact in line with middle and leg and not straight enough to convince the ump for LBW

Saif Hassan to Ikram Alikhil, out Bowled!! Knocks the leg peg with a beauty. Saif Hassan is the man for Bangladesh. What a spell he is having. He has dismissed all 3 left-handers from Afghanistan's top five. This one just came in with the arm and kept low, Ikram Alikhil was stuck on the back foot and ended up playing for the turn. No feet and the ball slides through to hit the leg stump. Ikram Alikhil b Saif Hassan 2(13)

Tanvir Islam to Ibrahim Zadran, out Ibrahim Zadran Run Out!! Out for 95 in the last game, and out for 95 today again. Oh dear! You gotta feel for this man. He walks off the field, past the boundary ropes and then hurls his bat onto the ground in absolute disgust. It is the mode of dismissal that will hurt him more. He flicked it towards square leg and called for a quick single, took a start and then had to dive back after seeing his partner say no. It needed a direct hit and Nahid Rana hit the bullseye, catching Zadran inches short of his crease. Ibrahim Zadran run out (Nahid Rana) 95(111) [4s-7 6s-2]

Saif Hassan to Ikram Alikhil, no run, in-drifter and beats Ikram Alikhil on the inside edge, the fielders combine and coax the skipper into a review. That was missing leg stump by some distance according to the ball tracker...

Saif Hassan to Shahidi, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! Saif Hassan - the man with the golden arm? He has picked up 2 wickets and is yet to concede a run. Went down on one knee looking for a slogsweep and all he managed was a thick top-edge, Towhid runs forward from deep square and takes a fine catch with a dive forward. Shahidi c Towhid Hridoy b Saif Hassan 2(10)

Saif Hassan to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught&Bowled!! That is a soft dismissal. Slower on the stumps, Sediqullah looks to push it with a high elbow and ends up chipping it off the splice to the left of the bowler. Saif keeps his eyes on the ball and dives across to accept it with both hands. Sediqullah Atal c and b Saif Hassan 29(47) [4s-3]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run, on a back of a length outside off, Ibrahim Zadran punches it to sweeper cover. That brings up the fifty for Ibrahim Zadran. It has been a solid knock from him so far. He raises his bat and gets a good round of applause from his mates

Rishad Hossain to Ibrahim Zadran, 2 runs, on the shorter side on middle, Ibrahim Zadran hangs back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket to pick up a couple of runs

Tanvir Islam to Gurbaz, out Lbw!! Gurbaz has been trapped in front. He has a consultation with Ibrahim Zadran and decides to review just before the timer runs out. Looked adjacent to the naked eye. Was tossed up nicely on a fuller length around off and drifted in, Gurbaz lunged to block as he played for the away turn but there was none. He got beaten on the inside edge to get struck in front of off. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds. That was plumb as the ball would have crashed into the middle of middle. Gurbaz was all of a sudden looking nervy and has been done in by a good piece of bowling from Tanvir Islam. A good knock from Gurbaz nonetheless. Gurbaz lbw b Tanvir Islam 42(44) [4s-5 6s-1]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Gurbaz, FOUR, nicely played! Floated full ball on off, Gurbaz switches his stance and reverse sweeps it through backward point. The fielder at sweeper cover hares to his left and dives. He gets a hand to it but the ball rolls to the fence

Nahid Rana to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run, did that carry? Yes, it did. Dropped. Fraction fuller outside off, Zadran goes hard on the drive and gets a thick outside edge that's been shelled by the lone slip fielder. Naim was the fielder and he couldn't dive full length with both hands. The ball hit him on his right wristed and dribbled down to third man. He seems to be in pain and is walking off the field to get some treatment...

Hasan Mahmud to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, Afghanistan dealing in boundaries. Touch fuller on the stumps, Zadran drives and times it superbly to beat both mid-on and mid-off
