A Alam to Mahmudullah, A bit short and wide of off, Mahmudullah looks to hit it too hard may be as he goes for the cut and gets an inside edge. The ball go into the ground beside the pitch.

Drinks. So, Afghanistan are all over Bangladesh as they have snapped four of their top order batters and will now look to run through their line-up as soon as possible. Bangladesh will hope for a strong and long partnership to take them near the target. An intense phase of cricket on offer now.

G Naib to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Edges win matches! As they say - In cricket, it's not how but how much that matters. Naib keeps it full and around off.

Mahmudullah is the new batsman in the middle.
G Naib to M Mithun, OUT! Dragged on and the sound of timber! Big wicket this as Mithun is a very solid batsman and Bangladesh needed him to be out there to chase this target down. But the right-hander has disappointed. Naib keeps this on a good length just around off and it's shaping in nicely into the batsman. The line and the length on this delivery are not the ideal ones for the cut shot to be executed but that's exactly the mistake that Mithun has committed. He tries to cut it but gets cramped as the ball lands and moves back in a bit. It takes the inside edge before crashing into the timber behind. Bangladesh struggling big time.
