- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 a direct hit and Tamim has to go! Junaid played the ball towards point and called for the single, Tamim responded but Hafeez quickly swooped down on the ball and threw down the stumps at the batsman's end with Tamim well short 16/114.1 Another one bites the dust. Down the track and heaved over the infield. That one isn't struck too well, though, and it will just float down the throar of Misbah-ul-Haq in the deep. End of an excellent innings from Junaid in his first game of this tournament 112/59.5 stumped! Aftab charges down the track and has a wild swing over midwicket, Hafeez drags his length a little short and fires in a quick delivery, Aftab misses and Akmal completes an easy stumping 79/210.3 flatter, quicker, on the stumps, Ashraful plays around his front pad and fails to make contact. That's always dangerous. Afridi appeals strongly and the finger goes up. That pitched in line and wasn't turning much at all. Can't complain about the decision 84/311.2 tossed up and on the stumps, Hafeez just holds that one back a touch and Shakib al Hasan is too early on the shot. He closes the face of the bat and the ball loops off the leading edge straight back to the bowler for the simplest of catches 86/414.4 short of a good length and outside the off, Nadif Chowdhury goes for the big cut but can only get a thick outside edge on that. Well snapped up by the keeper 119/615.2 very full and on the stumps, attempted yorker from Gul. It's well dug out by Mashrafe Mortaza. Mahmudullah wants the single and sprints down the pitch. Unfortunately the ball deflects of Mahmudullah and goes straight to Gul. Gul picks up and throws down the stumps and that's another wicket gone 122/718.1 very very very slow from Asif who returns to the attack. That one hangs in the air an eternity before finding the base of leg stump as Mortaza walks far to the off and tries to hit that over leg. That's a bit of a mess for the batsman. 137/818.2 yet another slower ball, on the off, defended back down the pitch. Asif fields in his follow-through and finds Razzaq bounding down the crease. Asif under-arms the ball onto the stumps at the striker's end and that's curtains for Razzaq. Silly way to throw away a wicket 137/919.4 searing yorker on the middle stump. Syed Rasel has very little idea about that one and plays a booming shot nowhere near the vicinity of the ball. The middle stump is disturbed and that's the end of the Bangladesh innings 140/10Extras14 (lb 3, nb 4, w 7)TOTAL140 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.11)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Tamim Iqbal, 2.5 ov), 2-79 (Aftab Ahmed, 9.5 ov), 3-84 (Mohammad Ashraful, 10.3 ov), 4-86 (Shakib Al Hasan, 11.2 ov), 5-112 (Zunaed Siddique, 14.1 ov), 6-119 (Nadif Chowdhury, 14.4 ov), 7-122 (Mahmudullah, 15.2 ov), 8-137 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 18.1 ov), 9-137 (Abdur Razzak, 18.2 ov), 10-140 (Syed Rasel, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 caught! Afridi moves on to the back foot and tries to play a delicate late cut, Razzak bowls one flat and quick and forces a thick outside edge that is taken sharply by Mushfiqur 66/25.5 caught at long off! Hafeez gets under a full delivery and lofts towards long-off, he hasn't hit it with enough power to clear the boundary and Tamim Iqbal takes a simple catch near the boundary line 59/116.4 full and down the leg side, helped along over the infield. There's a simple run. Salman Butt is sauntering about outside the crease, not trying properly to make his ground. Mushfiqur Rahim is alert - something Butt certainly wasn't - and throws the stumps down. This is incredibly sloppy cricket from someone who is attempting a comeback and has just been appointed vice-captain of the team. 119/68.1 stumped off a wide, excellent reflexes from Mushfiqur, Razzak fired one down leg side, Younis Khan tried to turn it behind square but missed, he over-balanced and lifted his back leg and in the split second that he needed to get back into his crease, Mushfiqur had whipped off the bails 69/314.3 down the pitch and slogged towards the on side. Malik has a bit of a brain-freeze and tries to hit this ball out of the ground. He doesn't get hold of it but the fielder on the ropes in front of square on the leg side, Aftab Ahmed, holds on to a really good catch just inches in front of the ropes 102/415.2 very full, very straight, that's quite quick too. Misbah misses that one and it's homing in on the stumps. There's a loud shout from the bowler and up goes the finger. Could there be a bit of a wobble here? Pakistan not doing this at all comfortably 106/5Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL141/6 (19 Overs, RR: 7.42)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Mohammad Hafeez, 5.5 ov), 2-66 (Shahid Afridi, 6.6 ov), 3-69 (Younis Khan, 8.1 ov), 4-102 (Shoaib Malik, 14.3 ov), 5-106 (Misbah-ul-Haq, 15.2 ov), 6-119 (Salman Butt, 16.4 ov)
