- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.1 in the slot, quick on middle and leg, Smith gets underneath the length and swings, but his sweep isn't timed too well. Lands in deep square leg's hands. Good shot selection, just missed out on execution 97/41.3 shortens the length just enough. Lovely bowing. Good length outside off, it holds its line. Mominul feels for the ball, tentative all along with hands and feet. A thick outside edge is gleefully snapped up at slip. 6/11.5 it's a two-ball duck for Bell-Drummond. Frankly, that's an awful stroke. Good length delivery just outside off, maybe a fourth-stump channel, but Bell-Drummond looks to force a cut through the off side. The ball doesn't angle away, keeps a touch low, takes the inside edge and knocks into off and middle stump. 6/23 exuberant! And what a caaaaatchh. Wowowowow. Seekugge Prasanna, the dab comes out. Superb. Sensational. Full around middle and leg, Zakir tries to thwack this over midwicket but gets awful timing on it, the ball looks like it has evaded midwicket, but Prasanna dives behind him, realises he isn't getting there and so puts in a full-length dive with both feet parallel to the ground. Hangs on to a one-handed STUNNER, had the awareness to ensure the ball didn't pop out on impact with the ground. Catch of the tournament. 21/315.5 full around off, the ball seaming back in. Mushfiqur looks to sweep again, but he doesn't get enough bat on it and the ball goes straight up, towards deep midwicket for an easy catch 141/517.1 a low full toss on the pads, Sammy just chips it to deep midwicket. Normally, Sammy's bottom hand would take that through square leg. But he tries to chip the ball over midwicket, doesn't get anywhere near the timing he wanted. An easy tumbling catch 146/618.1 128 kph, looking for the paddle sweep. Full on leg stump, quick. Mehedi moves too far across and just plain misses a straight delivery. The ball hits leg stump 157/719.1 131 kph, full on leg, Sami clears his front leg and looks to smash his compatriot straight, but misses the swing completely. Leg stump is uprooted 162/8Extras5 (lb 4, w 1)TOTAL166/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Did not bat: Hossain AliFall of wickets: 1-6 (Mominul Haque, 1.3 ov), 2-6 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 1.5 ov), 3-21 (Zakir Hasan, 2.6 ov), 4-97 (Dwayne Smith, 10.1 ov), 5-141 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 15.5 ov), 6-146 (Daren Sammy, 17.1 ov), 7-157 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 18.1 ov), 8-162 (Mohammad Sami, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 got 'im. Sami strikes early. On a length just outside off, Walton's feet are indecisive, he stays in the crease and pokes with bat well away from pad. He gets a thick inside edge which clatters into the top of middle stump 5/19.2 and he is out the next ball. Rossouw is absolutely disgusted. Tries the same stroke, but just picks out cover. Looks to go inside-out but just hits it to the fielder. Well, well. I don't see why it's the umpire's mistake, poor game awareness from Rossouw. 80/32.1 full on leg, a big heave but misses. And he is struck in front of leg. A big appeal and the umpire raises the finger. It's just awful cricket from Prasanna. Wanted to sweep a quick. 13/213.3 130 kph, full and straight this time. And Mahmudullah fails to connect again. The ball finds a way past Mahmuduallh's poke and the ball hits the middle stump. Opens up the game again 107/510.1 inexplicable cricket. Full delivery around off, Afif runs at Franklin and just chips a catch to cover, unable to time a lofted drive he attempts. 85/415.5 huge wicket! Full delivery and slow, Brathwaite clears his front leg, but swings too early, the ball comes on even slower after pitching. Beats the bat and knocks into middle stump. 123/714.2 straight to backward point. A gentle low full toss outside off, Nazmul drives, but the ball skews off the outside half of the bat and lobs straight to the fielder 114/616.3 got 'im. Looking for a yorker, misses his length, it ends up a low full toss. Shafiul gives himself some room, misses a cut and the ball hits off stump. Good bowling, attacking the stumps. 128/8Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL168/8 (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.68)Did not bat: Abu JayedFall of wickets: 1-5 (Chadwick Walton, 0.3 ov), 2-13 (Seekkuge Prasanna, 2.1 ov), 3-80 (Rilee Rossouw, 9.2 ov), 4-85 (Afif Hossain, 10.1 ov), 5-107 (Mahmudullah, 13.3 ov), 6-114 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 14.2 ov), 7-123 (Carlos Brathwaite, 15.5 ov), 8-128 (Shafiul Islam, 16.3 ov)
