- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 leading edge, and taken by long off! Tossed up on off stump but Mahedi takes the pace off the ball. Tries to slog across the line but through his shot too early. Lobs in the air, and enough time for Malik to complete the regulation catch. Big wicket 27/119 slower ball, and bowled! Hasan Ali celebrates, but not before patting McCullum on the back as Baz walks out. Leg cutter on middle stump and the ball whizzes under McCullum's bat. Takes top of off stump. Applause all around as the Rangpur team gives him a standing ovation 178/219.3 Holes out! First-ball duck for Bopara, but he had to go for the big shots right away. Full on middle and well hit down the ground but just not enough elevation in that hit. Down Shoaib Malik's throat. Bopara is walking out...but wait, they're checking for the no ball now. Naw, he's fine 184/3Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL192/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Chris Gayle, 4.1 ov), 2-178 (Brendon McCullum, 18.6 ov), 3-184 (Ravi Bopara, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.5 and the change of angle works! Good length on off and Tamim tries to slog this over the bowler's head. Slices it and holes out to Gazi at mid off. In the air for a really long time but safely taken 54/112.1 outside edge, and well taken by Mithun! Good length on off and angling away from his body. Tries to pull but takes the top edge as he is through his shot too early. Udana strikes first ball in his return. Eventually cramped Liton up after the batsman walked a little bit across to the off side 96/45.4 Impatient Kayes pays the price! Comes down the ground before Gazi pitches the ball, it's pushed full and wide outside off. Kayes misses completely, and the keeper does the rest. Second wicket to fall inside the powerplay 56/29.2 Holes out to long off! Charges down the ground and attempts to lift this for a six. Got the elevation, but not the distance. A well calculated catch in the deep, takes it from near head high. Rubel checks how close to the ropes he is, before starting his celebration. Big wicket! 75/318 Bopara gets his man! Short on middle and attempts the pull this time. Through his shot too early and comes off his glove. The easiest of catches for short fine leg. Soft dismissal. 147/617.1 Slow, good length ball on middle stump, pulled but does not find the elevation. Not off the middle of the bat and down Nazmul's throat at deep midwicket. Bopara gets his fellow Englishman 137/519.1 overpitched on off stump and tries to slog this over the bowler's head. Got the elevation, but not the distance. McCullum takes an easy catch at long on. Muted celebration from the Rangpur fielders 155/818.4 good length outside off stump, pulled off the back foot but not off the middle of the bat. Holes out to deep midwicket. 154/719.3 full on off stump, tries to heave this over the off side but nowhere off the bat's middle. Lyth gets under it at cover. Ninth wicket down 155/920 An epic catch from Mashrafe! That's how it will end here. Full ball outside off that's slashed away from his body. It was going away from Mash, who did well to run behind and complete the catch. Comilla are all out and Rangpur Riders are in the finals of BPL 2017! 156/10Extras11 (lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL156 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Tamim Iqbal, 4.5 ov), 2-56 (Imrul Kayes, 5.4 ov), 3-75 (Shoaib Malik, 9.2 ov), 4-96 (Litton Das, 12.1 ov), 5-137 (Jos Buttler, 17.1 ov), 6-147 (Marlon Samuels, 17.6 ov), 7-154 (Mohammad Saifuddin, 18.4 ov), 8-155 (Hasan Ali, 19.1 ov), 9-155 (Mahedi Hasan, 19.3 ov), 10-156 (Al-Amin Hossain, 19.6 ov)
