Rakibul Hasan to Irfan Khan, out Lbw!! Looks like these Bangladesh A players are big fans of CR7. Last game Gaffar Saqlain brought out the Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, now Rakibul Hasan does a CR7 celebration.

Abdul Gaffar Saqlain to Arafat Minhas, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Minhas' luck finally runs out. He survived a missed stumping and a drop catch, but Gaffar knocks him over with a slower delivery. It was an off-cutter and keeps a tad low, Minhas is rooted to the crease and does not get the bat down enough to keep the out, the ball crashes into the stumps.

Abdul Gaffar Saqlain to Arafat Minhas, no run, dropped! Jishan has put down a sitter. That should have been wicket number 5. Fullish delivery, outside off and Minhas drives to loft through the line, mistimes it straight to mid-off and Jishan has made a mess. Gaffar was off celebrating but he had to abort from it quickly. Is that going to cost Bangladesh?

Minhas overbalanced and stepped out of the crease but survived as Akbar Ali fluffed the chance. There was a sound as well. Might have taken the edge..

Ripon Mondol to Yasir Khan, out Yasir Khan Run Out!! What a start! Yasir goes for a suicidal run and pays the price. Back of a length delivery, he defends in front of mid-on and sets off, never a single there. Saqlain swoops down, gathers the ball cleanly and under arms the ball onto the stumps.
