    7.1 Got him with a ripper! Pitched up on the stumps at 144.7 kph and nipped back in, catching the batter by surprise. He tried to play across the line but was beaten for pace as the ball thudded into the side of the front pad. That looked adjacent to me; Nicholls had a quick word with Kelly before trudging back to the dugout, looking disappointed. An absolute peach of a delivery! 25/1
    36.4 Kelly bites the dust! Short pitched delivery follows the batter as Kelly backs away once again. He attempts the pull shot, but because the ball is so tight on him, he can't generate any power and only manages to miscue it to the mid-wicket fielder at the edge of the circle. He shakes his head in disappointment as a brilliant innings in this scorching heat finally comes to an end. 145/5
    9.1 Nahid Rana strikes again, this time with a scorching bouncer! A 146.8 kph bouncer caught Young completely by surprise, extra bounce and pace. He could only manage a back foot defensive poke, but he ended up chipping it off the outer half of the bat, gifting a regulation catch to the fielder at backward point. 28/2
    17.3 Edged and through to the keeper! Oh, wait a second; Latham isn't moving. Did that carry to the keeper? The two umpires are having a chat, and Richard Illingworth has decided to send it upstairs. It was a good length ball around off that held in the pitch; Latham played tentatively from the front foot and it kissed the outside edge. At first glance, it looked like the ball might have bounced just in front of a diving Litton Das, with the catch dying on him. However, the third umpire, Nitin Menon, determines that the ball landed right on the fingertips of Das's gloves before he pouched it. The decision is out! The Bangladesh players erupt in celebration; that is a massive wicket for the home side. 52/3
    28.3 Litton Das takes a brilliant catch, and Rana strikes! Abbas struggled against Rana in their previous encounter, and this bouncer on the stumps channel clearly got the better of him. He went for the pull, but the ball climbed on him, resulting in a leading edge toward fine leg. Litton Das covered a tremendous amount of ground running backward toward the edge of the circle, timing a full-stretch dive to pouch the ball. What a spectacular effort! 108/4
    42.1 Wicket off the first ball of the over for the third time today! When you need a breakthrough, call Nahid Rana. It was a short pitched delivery on the stumps and Foxcroft went for the swivel pull, but he couldn't get the elevation needed to clear the boundary. He picked out the deep square leg fielder right near the rope. 164/7
    37.5 Cuts it straight to the fielder! Shortish length ball quicker through the air, plays the square cut and hurries through the shot, connects the outside part of the bat and picks out the backward point ring fielder. 152/6

    44.5 Caught at deep midwicket! Short of a length ball outside off, backs away and plays the pull shot, does not get quite hold of it and picks out the cow corner sweeper fielder, who makes no mistake and holds on to it. 182/8
    45.3 That's a five-wicket haul for Nahid Rana! A proper sandshoe-crusher for the man in form today, clocked at 141.6 kph and crashing right into the base of the middle stump. Lennox backed away a bit too far and tried to block it with extended arms, but he wasn't anywhere near the line of the ball. 183/9
    48.4 slower bouncer from the bowler and O'Rourke goes for a half-hearted heave. He fails to find either the power or the elevation he needs, lofting it toward long on. Hridoy sprints forward and puts in a diving effort to secure the catch; top-notch work from the fielder there! 198/10

    0.6 that is an absolute crackerjack! What a delivery! Neither too short, nor too full, baffles him with a in-slanter that clattered into the off-stump and it kept low which made life tough for him! Not much he could do about it! What an eventful over! 8/1
    22.2 Tries again and has he got all of it? not really, loops it more with plenty of revs on the ball and lands it fuller inviting him to go big again, he accepts the invitation and loses his shape while advancing and larruping, lovely tumbling catch at long-off, bat turned and he didn't get to middle it on this occasion but what a knock! Dominated right from the get-go 141/3
    3.6 Pulls his length back, hits the pitch hard and gets the desired purchase, Soumya tries to upper-cut and beat the packed slip cordon but not to be, gives a regulation catch to second slip and has to go! Looked for his 8 but will be gutted to lose his wicket in this fashion. Just couldn't generate much power into the shot and didn't have the pace he was looking for 21/2
    28.1 Tossed up into the pads, worked off the backfoot to short midwicket and he is cramping, hot and humid conditions, drinks being called upon as Shanto replenishes his fluids and gets help from the physio. Well, he cannot get rid of the cramps and is hobbling, he is leaving the field, umpire helped him with his thumb too 167/4
    24.5 Up in the air and he hasn't got all of it! Lennox is pumped up, fiery celebration! Tossed up quicker on middle, plants his frong leg for a biggie to midwicket and miscued it completely, Foxcroft takes the simplest of the catches and New Zealand creating a bit of panic 154/4
