0.4 sliced straight to backward point, and Farhan is outta here! 100th T20I wicket for Taskin too! This is why Taskin is back, and this is what Taskin does. Fuller outside off and moving away just a shade. Farhan throws his hands at it and laces his square drive. Cannot keep it down, though, and Rishad accepts the offering with glee. Bangladesh are pumped; Pakistan stunned early! 4/1

6.3 holes out to long off, and Rishad piles further misery on Pakistan! Floaty leg-spinner, on a fullish length on middle and off. Fakhar backs away, trying to go inside out. But the ball spinning into him means he hits it a lot straighter than he would have wanted. Gets a good chunk of it still, but he could not have picked out long off better, who was placed wider than usual, much to Bangladesh's credit. Pakistan sink into further peril! 29/3

1.4 straight to mid on, and Ayub has just bagged his fourth duck at this Asia Cup - remarkable! Given a bit of air just outside off and Ayub cannot resist the temptation. He hares down, trying to slam it over mid on but cannot get under it. Offers the simplest of chances to Rishad, and Ayub departs with a big nought to his name. Pakistan are in all sorts of trouble early! 5/2

10.5 massive shout for a caught-behind, and Jaker has reviewed instantly! Back of a length, and because this is a cutter, it zips through (due to the over-spin). Salman has a tentative nibble at it and gets cut in half. Perhaps he was expecting the ball to deviate more. The question now is whether he nicked it. There seemed to be a noise in real time. And you know what, there was indeed a scratch on it. Clear spike on UltraEdge, and this night goes from bad to worse for Pakistan. Mustafizur is on the board, and that is his 151st wicket in T20Is. Top review by Jaker too! 49/5

8.1 short, wide and snapped up inches off the turf! Bangladesh all over Pakistan like a rash! This is there to be hit and Talat fancies his chances. But like Farhan earlier in the day, he cannot keep his shot down. Cuts it uppishly towards backward point, and Saif lunges forward to snare a very sharp chance. Rishad is over the moon; Pakistan do not know where to look! 33/4

17.3 smashed back at Mahedi, and he makes amends! This was the gamble Bangladesh had to take, and it pays off for them. Zipped into the slot on the stumps. Haris backs away and looks to go downtown. Does not get the elevation, though, and drills it flat. Mahedi has his wits about him, and snares a sharp chance to his left with both hands. Haris perishes, and Pakistan will need someone else to provide the finishing kick now! 109/7

13.3 oh my - this is going to bring rain! In the air still and.....taken! This is a juicy full toss on leg stump. A knee-high full toss to be precise, and seems like this is Shaheen's kryptonite. He looks to tonk this into next week but loses his shape. Cuts across the stroke a little too much as well and Jaker calls really early. He settles under it in the mid wicket region and gobbles it up. Shaheen's fun is over, and Pakistan are back to staring down the barrel! 71/6

18.2 goes straight up, and Nawaz bites the dust! Taskin goes fuller outside off and Nawaz's eyes light up, with mid off and extra cover in the ring. He gives it the entire lot but slices it terribly. The ball comes down with snow on it but thankfully for Bangladesh, Emon, who is under it having back-pedaled from extra cover, holds on. Top, top catch given the circumstances, and Nawaz, perhaps Pakistan's death-overs hope, has to go! 120/8

5.1 pops up off the leading edge, and Pakistan are on fire! Zinged in on a length on middle and leg. Saif wants to turn this into the leg side but the ball holds in the surface just a touch. Closes his bat face early too and the ball floats towards Ayub at backward point, who accepts the offering with utmost glee. Pakistan are up and about, and Bangladesh are feeling the pinch! 29/3

0.5 picked up, and pouched by Pakistan! Shaheen on the board early! Shortish just outside off. Emon looks for that pick-up pull behind square but does not middle it at all. Scuffs it towards deep backward square leg, where Nawaz runs around to his left and does the rest. Shaheen does his trademark celebration, and Bangladesh have been rocked early! 1/1

4.2 goes up, and this time, Ayub makes no mistake! Fullish on middle and off. Hridoy, sitting deep in his crease, has an ungainly hack across the line. Skews it off the outside edge and Ayub calls for it early. He settles under it in the backward point region and makes no mistake. Shaheen has two in his opening spell, and Bangladesh under early strife! 23/2

7.6 catching practice for sweeper cover, and catch Nawaz if you can! Given a bit of air in and around leg stump. Mahedi charges down the track and aims to go inside-out. Slices it too much, though, and that rids him of all the requisite power. A simple chip down Talat's throat, and Nawaz is overjoyed. Bangladesh hit yet another snag in what was supposed to be a manageable chase! 44/4

11.4 and something does give! Ayub, who cannot buy a run this tournament, has yet another wicket, and Nurul departs to another expansive shot! Ayub dangles the carrot full and wide, and Nurul bites. Not only does he bite at it, he bites at it in snatchy fashion. Backs away, trying to go inside out, but ends up slapping it straight down Nawaz's throat at long off. Bangladesh's chase is flagging! 63/5

16.5 oh goodness gracious me - what have you done, Shamim Hossain?! This is a slower ball banged into the track outside off. Shamim pre-meditates the reverse lap, only to realize, to his horror, that he has absolutely no pace to work with. Does not change his shot either and all he does is chalk it off the toe-end to Talat at backward point, who scoops down low and gobbles it up. Shamim cannot believe what he has done. Thousands of Bangladesh fans cannot either, and this could be a very, very big moment in the game! 97/7

13.5 a wild swish across the line, and Bangladesh's captain is outta here too! This is terrible batting! Ayub spears it full and wide, hoping Jaker takes up the invite. Jaker does, but he does so without any kind of shape. His weight was moving to the leg side and it is no surprise that he does not generate any power on the lofted stroke. Simple catch for Nawaz running in from long off, and Bangladesh staring down the barrel now! 73/6

17.2 does him all ends up, and Rauf is off on a celebratory run! This is beautifully-disguised. Bowled at a tick over 120kph and Tanzim has no clue about this off-cuter. He has designs to smash this into next week but is incredibly early into the stroke. Misses the ball by a distance and the ball thunders into the top of off stump! 97/8

17.4 timmbbberrrr again, and Rauf is in a hurry to wrap this up now! Back of a length on middle and leg. Taskin backs away and swings for the hills. Gets nowhere close to the ball, and this time, he is beaten for pace. The ball whistles past his flailing blade and he hears the death rattle soon after. Pakistan are almost there! 101/9
