8.55pm Jeez! Feels like we started this game yesterday. Rangpur have taken an hour and 55 minutes to complete their 20 overs. There's plenty of dew, so you'd think the chasing team has the advantage here. That Rajshahi have got to 154 is thanks largely to the late cameos from Sammy and Mehedi. Mashrafe was economical as always, Rubel started well but fell away. The pick of the bowlers? Lasith Malinga. Overcame a poor first over to come back brilliantly. Every ball in his third over was a yorker. This could be an interesting chase if they pick wickets. Join us in 15 minutes.

Rubel Hossain to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 1 run, OUT, mistimes a slog towards long-on. They chance the second, but can't get it. The throw went to the keeper's end and he was just halfway through the second. Easily done. Caught a long way off the crease.

Malinga to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, FOUR, tailing in towards the pads, he advances down the track and picks this away over square leg. Wow, guts. He converted this into a full toss because of the three strides he took

Malinga to Sammy, OUT, struck cleanly but holes out to deep midwicket. Too flat a hit. Didn't get enough elevation. This was full, fast and honing in towards middle and leg. He initially looked to clear the front leg but lost a split-second because this was a pacy delivery

Rubel Hossain to Sammy, SIX, another one. Full toss, result the same. This one's picked up beautifully from outside off. Sammy thought this was high enough to be called no-ball, but turned out to be just below the waist. Too much muscle in tht.

Rubel Hossain to Sammy, SIX, this has gone deep into the stands at deep midwicket. Juicy full toss on middle and Sammy muscles this pull. When he hits them, they fly.

Rubel Hossain to Sammy, 1 run, rip roaring yorker, a toe-crusher that Malinga would've been proud of. He somehow manages to jam his bat down in time to keep that out

Malinga to Franklin, 2 runs, flicks this full toss from outside off towards wide long-on. They were chancing a second because the fielders had to run around quite some distance but the throw was weak and Malinga didn't collect the ball cleanly before breaking the stumps
