Sarvar: "Babar must be careful with Mustafizur Rahman" How will that go? Find out with Sudarshanan.
Ali Mushaf: "Yes, the Worldcup is no longer eventful. Someone predicted the score correctly in the start of the inning :p" 131 you'd said, just four off. Well done.
Shadab Khan says bowlers have done their job. Adds slower ones for pacers and spinners looks to be the way to go. On Shakib's wickets, says, 'Umpire gave it out, so it's out'. On the chase, he says Babar is a big player and it's a big match. So he will be raring to do well.
4:15pm: Cricket's stopped being non-eventful. Despite not getting a great start, Pakistan were able to restrict Bangladesh to under 130. Litton and Shanto started well, after Litton went. Shanto went into consolidation mode. That went well when Soumya Sarkar was out. But then he fell, Shakib got out to a third-umpire call that will be discussed. But as Shadab said, what the umpire said is what counts. It led to wickets falling consistently. Iftikhar's spell was brilliant, Shaheen was closing back to invincibility in his back spell. Naseem and Wasim were on too.

Subrata: "18.6.....Four for shaheen.... Four for afif"

Shah: "@Ekanth, what's the avg speed of Shaheen today?" Not sure but he started around 130s and the last ball was 143kph. He quickened up for sure.
4-18, can Shaheen end with a five-for off his last ball.
Faisal: "@Ekanth please tell us if the pitch is bad or pakistan are playing better cricket ?" Pakistan's bowling has definitely been terrific. Reverse swing, smart spin-operation, Bangladesh have been caught in a storm a bit.
Yahya: "The eagle is back and back when we needed him the most "

Reverse swing - This is vintage Pakistan. Al Muthu's feeling it, are you?
Ruchit: "Bangaldesh must aim for 125.. It will give them a real chance !!"
