- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 Mehidy puts this pretty full on the off stump, Charles stays leg-side of the ball but can't really get underneath the length. Instead of lofting it over wide long-on, Charles winds up dragging it straight down the throat of Franklin. Early boost for Rajshahi 3/13.4 Lyth now uses his feet to Raza but the bowler hits the pitch hard and gets the ball to duck away outside off. Lyth still goes on with a big drive and splices a catch to cover 32/24 Skewed to backward point. Reza produces a double-strike. This was a hip-high short ball on off stump, Mithun looks to pull it over the leg side. Instead, he shoots up a leading edge to Mominul 33/313 back of a length on the middle stump, Nafees aims to clear long-on. No dice. Not enough power behind the shot. He drags a catch to Waller 82/415.4 slower, short ball, pushed wide outside off. Thisara has to drag his pull from there. He can't manufacture his own pace.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.2 yorker at off stump, squeezes it into the open midwicket area...they come back for the second. Perera swivels and hits it direct from 40 yards away! Superb fielding off his own bowling. Simmons is short at the non-striker's end by a long way. There wasn't anyone at the stumps. The odds of Perera even throwing it, leave alone hitting the stumps, were very low. But he's gone 122/115.5 inswinging yorker at off stump, looks to repeat the shot from the previous ball but this time it's too quick for him. Big gap between bat and pad as he tries to caress this through point.
