- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 Cleaned 'em up. Mahedi now floors the leg stump. Ziaur chooses to stay in the crease now, attempts a wild leg-side mow like Gayle had done earlier this over. This is a near-yorker length delivery that cannons into the leg stump. Mahedi lets out a big roar 8/21.1 Mahedi knocks over the middle stump and sends Gayle back for a first-ball duck. Good length and slides in with the arm from around the wicket, Gayle goes for a wild leg-side mow. He misses his target but Mahedi doesn't. The spinner wheels away in celebration 3/110.2 Mahedi has dismissed both Gayle and Baz in the same match. That's the fantasy of every bowler. Quicker offbreak, turns in on off, Baz looks to heave it across the line but no dice. The spinner hits the off stump 59/56.1 first-ball wicket for Saifuddin! Just short of a good length and wide outside off, Mithun reaches out with hard hands and scoops a catch to cover. Saifuddin benefitted from extra bounce. Hasan dives forward and plucks it inches from the ground. The umpires check if that's a clean catch. Yes, indeed. The soft signal was out too. Sharp work from Hasan, wrapping his hands around the ball 32/39.4 Bopara's bat gets stuck into the turf, and he has been caught short by a direct hit at the keeper's end. Unfortunate for Bopara but excellent work from Imrul Kayes at backward point, nailing the stumps down. Baz slices it to backward point and sets off, but Bopara is caught short 57/411.1 Hasan Ali adds his name into the wickets column. He has Kapu nicking behind. He gets it to kick up from outside off, Kapu has a naughty flirt at it and only edges it behind to the right of the keeper 61/612.4 Mahedi rattles the middle stump. This was slid through flatter, shoots low, Islam hangs back and is caught in a tangle as the ball fizzes into the pads and disturbs the furniture. Career-best T20 figures for Mahedi 69/714.2 Saif unleashes a pinpoint yorker of his own and pings the middle and leg stumps. Right in the blockhole, Mashrafe backs away outside leg but is beaten by pace. He can't squeeze it out 74/817.1 Al-Amin floors the off stump and wraps up Rangpur for 97. Back of a length and angling into the top of off, the batsman blindly slogs to leg but does not make contact 97/1016.2 Shooter, keeps low, and hits the middle stump. Very full and skids in, breaches through the defences of Gazi, who was pinned to the crease 93/9Extras7 (lb 3, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL97 all out (17.1 Overs, RR: 5.65)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Chris Gayle, 1.1 ov), 2-8 (Ziaur Rahman, 1.5 ov), 3-32 (Mohammad Mithun, 6.1 ov), 4-57 (Ravi Bopara, 9.4 ov), 5-59 (Brendon McCullum, 10.2 ov), 6-61 (Chamara Kapugedera, 11.1 ov), 7-69 (Nahidul Islam, 12.4 ov), 8-74 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 14.2 ov), 9-93 (Sohag Gazi, 16.2 ov), 10-97 (Isuru Udana, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 that's a brilliant catch by Nahidul! He runs to his right from long-on, he's perilously close to the edge of the boundary. He holds his balance and catches with both hands. The momentum carries him over the boundary. Before going over, he scoops the ball into the field of play, leaps back and pouches it safely. He intercepts Tamim's mistimed loft 35/23.2 Udana dives forward from deep third man and claims a good catch. Full and wide outside off, Liton reaches out for the ball and slashes a thick outside edge to Udana 22/113.4 hip-high short ball outside off, Kayes brings out a pull but hits it straight into the lap of Gayle at midwicket. Chest-high catch for the big Jamaican. Comilla making heavy weather of a slim chase 71/48.4 Nazmul finds grip and turn! He draws Buttler out of his crease, gets it to break away and bounce past the outside edge. Buttler was nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Mithun swiftly whips the bails off to catch Buttler short 47/314.5 What have you done, Malik? He uses his feet and pads up to an arm ball. He wasn't sure whether to play or not offer a shot. The ball keeps on coming with the arm and thuds into the stumps. Nazmul sneaks through the legs of Malik 73/518.5 Mashrafe strikes with his penultimate ball. Saif connects well but not well enough. Back of a length on middle, he clears his front leg and swipes it into the hands of deep midwicket right at the edge of the boundary 90/6Extras9 (b 8, w 1)TOTAL100/6 (19.3 Overs, RR: 5.12)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Litton Das, 3.2 ov), 2-35 (Tamim Iqbal, 6.3 ov), 3-47 (Jos Buttler, 8.4 ov), 4-71 (Imrul Kayes, 13.4 ov), 5-73 (Shoaib Malik, 14.5 ov), 6-90 (Mohammad Saifuddin, 18.5 ov)
