Drinks break! We are halfway through the first innings and Afghanistan have completely bossed the game so far. Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been simply sensational and has managed to pick up 3 wickets. Rashid Khan too has just bowled one over and has one wicket to his name. Bangladesh just a have couple of more decent batters to follow and a lot rests on the shoulders of Afif Hossain and Mahmudullah. Can they stitch some sort of a comeback? Well, Rashid Khan is back into the attack for Afghanistan now.

Score53 - 5

Rashid Khan to Afif Hossain, OUT! LBW! Rashid Khan strikes again. The break works in favour of the fielding team again. This is the googly, flatter and quicker, on middle, skids through the surface, Afif Hossain gets cramped in his crease and tries to work it away to the leg side. He misses the ball and gets hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for LBW and the finger goes up. It looks plumb as well. However, Afif Hossain still goes for the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows three reds. Bangladesh lose half their side now.
