- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.4 holes out! Full outside off this time and the angle takes it across McCullum, down on one knee and looks to slog over cow corner. Slices it since the ball's way too far from his body and it's a skyer. Plunkett's there at long on and he completes an easy catch. The partnership is broken and that's the time out as well 80/110.4 bowled him! The ball at 128 kph goes past Gayle's defense. Back of a length on leg stump and angles across Gayle's body, tries to flick off his pads towards the leg side but the ball stays slightly low and sneaks between his pad and the bat's closing face. Takes the top of off stump. Just what Sylhet would've wanted 88/216.1 slow on middle and goes under the bat! Shout for lbw and the umpire is quick to raise his finger. The pace deceived the batsman smacks him in front of middle. Through his leg-side clip shot too early. Removes the set Mithun 129/413 what a catch! The extra delivery fetches them a wicket! Straight to Fletcher at point. Full outside off and the batsman looks to carve this behind point once again, but this time it's straight to the fielder's right. It's a low catch and forces Fletcher to dive. He's ecstatic after the dismissal since the previous ball had just gone past his fingers. The second time out has been taken as well 105/317.3 straight down Sabbir's throat! The slower ball gets another wicket, full on off stump and slogged down the ground. Long off is very close to the ropes, but takes the catch comfortably over his head. Checks to see where his feet are, and then goes to celebrate. b>Smart stuff from Bresnan 141/519.3 Bopara's gone! Gone after a flyer. Full outside off and that's the third straight delivery that he misses. They want the single off the bye, but the keeper makes no mistake this time. Throws down the stumps and the batsman is nowhere near the crease. 165/619.5 slow outside off stump, cross-batted slog towards the leg side, deep midwicket rounds up to throw it in. A hara-kiri second run attempted from the batsman. No chance at all for Mashrafe to get back in time. 168/7Extras6 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-80 (Brendon McCullum, 8.4 ov), 2-88 (Chris Gayle, 10.4 ov), 3-105 (Shahriar Nafees, 12.6 ov), 4-129 (Mohammad Mithun, 16.1 ov), 5-141 (Thisara Perera, 17.3 ov), 6-165 (Ravi Bopara, 19.3 ov), 7-168 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 and he strikes first ball! Dances down the ground and pitched on a good length on middle, tries to slog this out of the park but the ball whizzes under his blade. Breaks middle stump and Gazi is pumped! 15/14 big appeal for the caught-behind, and the umpire says yes! Full outside off and straightens after pitching. Some zip after pitching and Fletcher tries to drive this over the bowler's head. The smallest of outside edges and Mithun completes a simple catch. Rangpur on top 25/32.4 good length on middle and leg, and Babar is gone! Tries to hit this out of the park but it was a bad cross-batted slog. Slower delivery and the batsman can't resist. Slices this and holes out to deep midwicket 18/217.4 holes out to Baz at long on! Full on middle and he has to go for the slog. Times it well too, but not well enough. Goes to the safest fielder in the outfield.. Goes for a well made 70 142/4Extras8 (b 5, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL162/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 1.4 ov), 2-18 (Babar Azam, 2.4 ov), 3-25 (Andre Fletcher, 3.6 ov), 4-142 (Sabbir Rahman, 17.4 ov)
