- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.2 Tharanga holes out to Sammy at mid-off! He shows his ace early and comes down the track. Franklin drags his length back outside off and gets it to stick in the pitch. Miscued into the lap of the Rajshahi captain 105/210.3 short on off, shovel-pulled away to deep midwicket. Fletcher chances a second, but an excellent throw lands him in trouble. This looks tight. Fletcher is gone. Mushfiq collected the flat, accurate throw and swiped the bails off to catch the WI opener short. Well done, Mehidy 101/115.4 floated full and wide outside off, Sabbir eyes up a lofted drive. Instead, he slices it to Williams at long-off 143/317.4 pitched up and outside off, Danushka has a biiiiig swing at it. He gets more height as opposed to distance and holes out to Reza at wide long-on 169/418.6 really full on off, clears his front leg and lashes it down to long-off. Plunkett chances a second, but is caught short at the keeper's end. The two wasn't on 192/519.2 full on middle, scooped fine of short fine leg 193/6Extras13 (lb 6, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL205/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-101 (Andre Fletcher, 10.3 ov), 2-105 (Upul Tharanga, 11.2 ov), 3-143 (Sabbir Rahman, 15.4 ov), 4-169 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 17.4 ov), 5-192 (Liam Plunkett, 18.6 ov), 6-193 (Nurul Hasan, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.3 another heave, this one over cow corner but this time the ball goes straight into the hands of the fielder there. It's a very full ball and Wright slogs it over the leg side. Has to reach out for it slightly and it's the slower ball so the shot doesn't find the distance 133/55.2 taken! Slower-ball offcutter on middle and off. He doesn't perhaps pick the drop in pace and chips a drive straight into the hands of mid-on 50/15.4 straight into the hands of midwicket. That's two wickets to easy catches now. Short and hurries onto the batsman, who splices a pull and holes out 50/29.2 Oh dear, Mushfiq has sliced a full-toss straight down the throat of long-on. Sabbir lets out an animated roar. This is a loose full-toss on off, below the waist, Mushfiq aims a lofted drive, ends up miscuing it to the fielder 78/39.4 Abul Hasan has Samit Patel chopping on. Back of a length and slanting in at off stump, the length was there for the cut. But it was far too close to him. He chops a thick inside edge back onto the stumps 79/416.2 tries to flick this fuller ball and misses altogether. It's the cutter that hits the pad and stops in its tracks just before the stumps. A bit of a yes and no as they think of the run. Plunkett runs forward and kicks the ball into the stumps to send back Franklin who is well short 145/617.2 short of good length, looks to thump it with a flat bat but offers a catch to long-off 150/718.6 shortish, comes into him and tucks him up. Miraz drags a pull that comes partly off the splice down to long-on 161/8Extras13 (lb 3, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL172/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Did not bat: Hossain AliFall of wickets: 1-50 (Mominul Haque, 5.2 ov), 2-50 (Rony Talukdar, 5.4 ov), 3-78 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 9.2 ov), 4-79 (Samit Patel, 9.4 ov), 5-133 (Luke Wright, 14.3 ov), 6-145 (James Franklin, 16.2 ov), 7-150 (Daren Sammy, 17.2 ov), 8-161 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 18.6 ov)
