- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 Rubel persists with the short ball and it has paid off. Tamim looks to pull and gets it off the splice. The resultant edge is held at short third man 23/17 desperately comes down the track. The run rate pressure was getting to the batsmen and it has resulted in a wicket. Makes room for himself and swings clumsily. But Mashrafe smartly drags the pace back and he is through with the shot before the ball comes on. Loses his middle stump 47/214.1 leg stump uprooted. Some late swing there, reverse. It is fired in with a slightly round-armish angle and aimed at his pads. Kayes backs away but the ball nips away from him at the very last minute to flatten leg stump even as he jams the bat down. It was a dipping yorker as well, so was always going to be hard for the batsman to make contact. Perera gets 200 T20 wickets 100/48.2 walks across and down the ground and tries to force this fullish ball across the line. Thought for a second that the impact may have been outside off because he walked across. But tell you what, that's as plumb as any lbw you'll see. Cuts into Buttler and hits the pad in front of middle and off 55/319 wide yorker. Backs away and reaches out before having a very ugly swipe. Some reverse swing again takes the ball away from the batsman and results in a thickish outside edge that's held by the wicketkeeper 139/616.4 is that a run out? Yes, it is. Brilliant from Perera. Extremely full on the stumps and Samuels digs it hard into the pitch. The ball goes in the air, on the bounce to Perera who runs across and gathers it with both hands and turns around to fire a throw on the stumps. Malik was backing up too far and can't make it back in time 119/5Extras5 (b 4, w 1)TOTAL153/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Tamim Iqbal, 3.5 ov), 2-47 (Litton Das, 6.6 ov), 3-55 (Jos Buttler, 8.2 ov), 4-100 (Imrul Kayes, 14.1 ov), 5-119 (Shoaib Malik, 16.4 ov), 6-139 (Marlon Samuels, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 McCullum has thrown it away. So the Gayle-Baz show is all too short-lived. Comes charging down the track to a flat, length ball, gets nowhere near the pitch of the delivery and gets beaten on the outside edge. The keeper does the rest 31/34.2 and Rashid has struck. The opposition's best bowler pips the batting team's most dangerous hitter. Wrong'un, not picked by Gayle. Seems as though it may have pitched outside leg but the umpire doesn't think so. It's too full and raps Gayle on the pad. Rashid takes flight with his arms spread out 31/14.4 Rashid, you beauty! Deceives Kusal with some flight. He gets down to sweep but it's only a length ball that takes the top-edge on the shot and pops to backward square leg 31/25.3 Rangpur are unravelling quite spectacularly here. Grip and turn and bounce does in Nafees. He stretches forward early to a length ball but it turns away enough to considerably beat the outside edge and flatten the off-stump 32/415.2 another fuller ball and this time it's resulted in a wicket. Mithun drives hard but doesn't keep it down. Hits it straight into the hands of extra cover where Tamim gathers it reverse-cupped 99/518.4 great reflex action from the bowler. Mortaza makes good connection on a straight push. It hits the bowler's right foot as he slightly sticks his boot out on the follow-through. And then turns over and rushes towards the ball to knock the stumps down. Slight hesitation on the run and Mortaza sacrifices his wicket 126/619.2 good return catch from Hasan. Perera swipes across the line and gets a top-edge. Hasan rushes forward and gets nicely towards the ball and judges his catch well. Nearly crashed into the stumps as he did so and had to evade them at the last minute 128/7Extras12 (lb 3, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Chris Gayle, 4.2 ov), 2-31 (Kusal Perera, 4.4 ov), 3-31 (Brendon McCullum, 5.1 ov), 4-32 (Shahriar Nafees, 5.3 ov), 5-99 (Mohammad Mithun, 15.2 ov), 6-126 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 18.4 ov), 7-128 (Thisara Perera, 19.2 ov)
