Seams back in from a length, Rizwan pushes at it and is beaten comprehensively on the inside edge. Gets hit on the back leg. Ball-tracking shows it to be missing leg. Sharp movement off the deck and that ends up saving the batter

Taskin Ahmed to Salman Agha, out Caught by Shadman Islam!! Two wickets in two overs and Pakistan have now lost half their side. 135.1kph, Salman Agha sees the width and flashes his bat hard at it. Thick outside edge and it flies to one of the two gully fielders (the one positioned finer). Shadman Islam didn't have to move much but the ball came quickly to him and did well to hold onto it.

Taskin Ahmed to Abdullah Fazal, no run, full outside off, Abdullah Fazal gets forward to push it back to Taskin Ahmed

Taskin Ahmed to Abdullah Fazal, no run, thick inside-edge on to pad and Shanto does well not to review that. Taskin Ahmed very convinced but Shanto is calm.

Taskin Ahmed to Abdullah Fazal, byes, 1 run, cracker of a delivery. It nips back in a long way, extra bounce, Abdullah Fazal is beaten on the defence, flies past the inside-edge and Litton Das goes with an outstretched right hand, palms it away. That flew to him and he couldn't handle it. Luckily for him there was no bat

Taskin Ahmed to Imam, out Caught by Litton Das!! Edged and gone. That's the early wicket Bangladesh needed. A wobble-seam delivery and it angles away from Imam-ul-Haq outside off, he could've left that, but shuffled across to defend and edges it behind. No doubts about the edge as Kumar Dharmasena has the finger up and Imam knew it too, walks off. Early jolt for Pakistan. Imam c Litton Das b Taskin Ahmed 2(5)
