7.48 pm That's the biggest score of the BPL season, but even this target is not a winning one, given how high the scores in Chittagong have been. Add to that, the dew: it's very wet in the middle and the Khulna bowlers will not have it easy at all. The local boys can to the party, sandwiched between some big-hitting from Rossouw and Brathwaite. Sami was excellent, though, and we'll be back with the chase very soon.

Mohammad Sami to Ariful Haque, 1 bye, slower, good length ball on off stump that deceives the batsman once again. They're taking a single. And makes it. Khulna finish on 213 for 5

Mohammad Sami to Ariful Haque, no run, very well bowled, short outside off and rising over the new batsman's head. The bat's nowhere near that delivery

walrus: "Bit too early to say that Fizz's career is already dwindling down. Bowled well last match, had a bad match today, keeping in mind he just came from an ankle injury. I'm sure he'll come back sharper next match. He bowled quite well during the SA tests as well, the only saving grace. Just because he's not getting 5fers like he did in 2015 doesn't mean he's lost."

Mohammad Sami to Afif Hossain, 1 run, full on leg stump, inside-edges onto his pads. That's the highest score of BPL 2017

Mohammad Sami to Brathwaite, OUT, inside edge, and bowled! Full and wide outside off and he tries to slog this to the leg side by getting down on one knee. Takes the inside edge and ricochets into off stump. Sami has bowled really well today

Sami is warned for bowling onto the danger zone

Mohammad Sami to Afif Hossain, 2 wides, he's gotta bowl this again! Drifting down the leg side and neither can the keeper hold on to it. He steals an extra run and gets Brathwaite on strike

211 is the highest team score this season. 217 is the BPL's highest-ever score. Can they break both records?

Williams to Brathwaite, FOUR, back of a length on off stump, wild pull from Brathwaite, but another top edge! This time over short fine leg's head. No stopping that.

Williams to Brathwaite, FOUR, full on middle, looks to slog towards midwicket but the leading edge takes it over Mushfiqur's head and for four. Kesrick can only give out a smile. Lucky runs

Williams to Brathwaite, 1 run, slow ball on middle, dragged to cow corner for a single

A lot of dew in the middle, by the way. Defending this total will not be very easy for Khulna

Williams to Afif Hossain, 1 run, flat-batted off the front foot to long off. Full on middle but angling away from the left hander, played inside-out

Mohammad Sami to Afif Hossain, no run, too cheeky, and doesn't come off!! Down on one knee and tries to paddle over short third man. Full on leg stump and cramps the batsman. He was trying the ramp shot

Sami, going at an economy of only 5, returns

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, SIX, full on middle and muscled! Simply magnificent from Brathwaite. To be fair, it was in the slot but you still need to put it away. Easily gets under the ball, and then lets his arms do the rest. Full swing from the batsman and hits the sightscreen on the full. Massive

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, no run, very well bowled this time! It's the offcutter pitching on middle stump, deceives the batsman, who slogs under the ball

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, SIX, two fielders getting under it, but no chance! It was slow on leg stump and smacked by Brathwaite over Fizz's head. Looked like both long on and long off had a shot to take it, but it's eventually comfortably over the boundary

Kapil: "I haven't seen more ordinary captaincy than this. How can you just keep bowling dibbly dobblies against good hitters. Franklin took 2 and did his job. And to kill the game, you should bowl your best bowler, which is Sami. And Fizz has completely lost it. Not even half close to his best. Khulna getting lucky every game but trust me, they won't go beyond semi finals"

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, FOUR, down on one knee and scooped! Good length ball on leg stump and Brathwaite lifts this over Sami - at short fine leg. Slows down slightly after bouncing but somehow does enough to fetch four

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, 2 runs, full on leg stump, another skyer, but dropped this time! Slower ball on leg stump and Brathwaite tries to send this over cow corner. Takes the top edge, but midwicket can't hold on to this difficult chance

Mustafizur Rahman to Brathwaite, 1 wide, short outside leg stump, it's going down the leg side and Brathwaite lets it go
