3:43pm It could have been a lot more, but this is a decent total after being put in. Mahmudullah leading the way again with a 59. What a season he's having. Rubel Hossain's wickets in the middle overs didn't allow the batting team's captain to get support from the other end, however, and they stumbled in the end. Rangpur won't have an easy chase - unless those guys Gayle and McCullum go berserk. We'll be back shortly.

Malinga to Archer, FOUR, slower ball, back of a length at off stump. Dances around the pitch and swipes across the line. Gets a top edge and is rewarded with a four down to the third man boundary

1b
Malinga to Tanvir Islam, 1 bye, slower ball, full outside off. Looks to drive through the covers but is beaten. They steal a bye

Malinga to Junaid Khan, OUT, slower ball, good length at leg stump. Steps out, exposes the stumps, and swings wildly. No direction with his innings. The ball was directed at leg stump, and it finds the target

Malinga to Junaid Khan, no run, yorker outside off. He's surprised as that comes at him. Hurriedly prods at it and it has already gone past him while he does

W
Perera to Brathwaite, OUT, firmly struck but it's flat and straight at Bopara at long-off. Overpitched ball with a lot of room outside off. He makes a great connection on it, but can't elevate it

1
Perera to Archer, 1 run, yorker outside off. Steps out and makes it a full toss. Slaps it to long-off's left. His partner wants a second but he sends him back. Bopara's throw is at the non-striker's end and the relay throw won't bother Brathwaite

2
Perera to Archer, 2 runs, full at middle stump. Squeezed through the leg side. Deep midwicket is slow on it
18.2
1lb
Perera to Brathwaite, 1 leg bye, yorker outside off. Gets down and looks to dab it fine with a sweep. Misses and there's a big lbw appeal. But he was struck outside the line

Malinga to Archer, 1 run, slower ball, and a full toss that dips at his knee. He's understandably startled as it appears to be a beamer. But watches it nicely and shovels it to deep square. That was headed for middle stump

Malinga to Archer, no run, slower ball, full outside off. Checked drive to extra cover
17.4

Malinga to Brathwaite, 1 run, yorker at leg stump, looks to drill it straight over the bowler. It's too quick. He slices it off the toe-end to long-off

Malinga to Brathwaite, no run, yorker at leg stump, dug out respectfully

Malinga to Brathwaite, SIX, smash. Slower ball picked early. Watches it well as it lands on a length outside off, and then hammers it uppishly to clear the midwicket boundary by a long distance

Malinga to Brathwaite, FOUR, mid-off dives to his right to try and catch this, but this is smashed hard from Brathwaite. Length ball at off stump, no feet as he hammers it flat past the bowler

Devashish: "No point in having Brathwaite in the team if he's not going to contribute anything with the bat. Should've been sent ahead of Ariful "

Rubel Hossain to Ariful Haque, OUT, plumb in front. Gets down to try and paddle a full toss from middle stump. Misses it completely

Rubel Hossain to Ariful Haque, FOUR, back of a length outside off. Steps out and looks to clear mid-off on the up. Ends up slicing it before short third and point
16.4
W
Rubel Hossain to Mahmudullah, OUT, sensational fielding by Brendon McCullum who runs backwards and to his right from long-on to get under a big swipe from Mahmudullah. That's gone high. Was possibly a slower ball that he got too far under. McCullum keeps his balance to take the catch, then flicks it back in as he loses balance and it's taken by Nahidul who came around from deep midwicket
Mahmudullah c Nahidul Islam b Rubel Hossain 59 (36b 6x4 2x6) SR: 163.88
