2.45pm A fine finish from Khulna to restrict Rajshahi to under 170 after a terrific start. Dwayne Smith and Mushfiqur hit quickfire fifties to lift Rajshahi, and keep them hoping for a 180-total. But the Khulna bowlers were excellent over the last few overs to restrict this total. Back soon.

Sami

18.1

Brathwaite to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT, 128 kph, looking for the paddle sweep. Full on leg stump, quick. Mehedi moves too far across and just plain misses a straight delivery. The ball hits leg stump

17.4

Junaid Khan to Franklin, 1 wide, 129 kph, a wide delivery outside off, too wide, called

Kapil: "Real ordinary team selection this by Rajshahi. Why would you pick bits and pieces players like Franklin and Sammy both? And Bell-Drummond isn't a player to flourish in these conditions. Their bowling is thin but if they could have got 200, would have worked. They'll surely struggle to win if they don't get 2-3 wickets upfront"

17.3

Junaid Khan to Franklin, SIX, lovely hit. Full, seaming back in to Franklin, he stays inside the line a touch and lofts the ball cleanly over long-on. Superb stroke, not over-hit, just timed

17.2

Junaid Khan to Franklin, no run, a good yorker outside off, 128 kph, jammed back to the bowler.

Mehedi Hasan

17.1

Junaid Khan to Sammy, OUT, a low full toss on the pads, Sammy just chips it to deep midwicket. Normally, Sammy's bottom hand would take that through square leg. But he tries to chip the ball over midwicket, doesn't get anywhere near the timing he wanted. An easy tumbling catch

DJG Sammy c Ariful Haque b Junaid Khan 3 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00

Junaid Khan returns.

16.6

Shafiul Islam to Sammy, 1 run, a shortish delivery on off, pulled with bad timing to deep square leg who over-runs the ball. Deep midwicket cleans up

16.5

Shafiul Islam to Franklin, 1 run, full and wide outside off, driven to cover for one. Franklin and the bowler collide as the run is completed. All fine
