- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 this one is a proper tog-edge now! Smith was looking to send this over square leg, but was not to the pitch of the delivery. He hoicks across the line and gets a huge top edge that is taken by the short fine leg fielder. 97/118.1 well judged by Tamim at long off! This is a good take. On another day, this would have sailed into the stands, but Gayle gets under it and hits it as far as the boundary. Tamim takes an overhead catch, then realises the momentum is taking him over the rope, so lobs the ball up, goes out, comes back, and completes the catch. End of a painful innings from Gayle 151/312 a wicket first ball, he is stumped with one fired down the leg side! What an impact this guy has on Bangladesh.. He saw the batsman moving out and pushed it down the leg.. Poor judgment from Simmons who didn't realise the ball was in Mushy's hands and kept moving forward..He was well inside the crease and just didn't see where the ball was. No bat, no pad on that.. it was a good solid wide 98/219.1 the catch is taken! Gazi at extra cover makes up for Mahmudullah's mistakes by taking a simple chance. It was a touch slower outside off and Samuels, who struggled today too, punches it straight to the fielder 167/419.2 another one goes down! Russell throws his bat at this slower one and sends this miles high towards long off, where Shakib - who is no Mahmudullah - settles under it and makes sure he gobbles it up... 167/519.4 whoaa Tamim! this is a stunner at short third man! Bravo looks to drive this through extra cover, gets a thick outside edge and Tamim - he flies to his right and plucks this from thin air. What a catch that one - great one-hander -- it was high too! What a contrasting day. Bravo falls for a first-baller again. 168/619.6 another chance! Another drop! The batsman gets a thick outside edge and Ziaur at point is no Tamim - he tries to leap for an over head chance, but is not able to complete that.. Still a good effort. What more, they pick up a bonus wicket as the batsmen look for a non-existent third. 171/7Extras19 (b 10, lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL171/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-97 (Dwayne Smith, 11.5 ov), 2-98 (Lendl Simmons, 12 ov), 3-151 (Chris Gayle, 18.1 ov), 4-167 (Marlon Samuels, 19.1 ov), 5-167 (Andre Russell, 19.2 ov), 6-168 (Dwayne Bravo, 19.4 ov), 7-171 (Denesh Ramdin, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 he has thrown it away! Another early strike for Badree as the batsman drives this firmly to mid-off where Bravo takes a good low catch diving to his left. Tamim got a lot of timing on that, but no elevation 14/13.1 this is wonderful work by Ramdin! Super quick hands from the keeper as he whips the bails in no time.. The batsman came forward to push, missed the ball going across him.. By the time he realised anything, the bails had been taken off with his back foot in the air 16/29.1 top-edge! Santokie can't do anything wrong and Narine is among wickets already. With the pressure of the required rate, Mominul goes for a sweep without getting closer to the pitch of the delivery and we have seen there is good bounce on this wicket. he gets a big top edge that is taken by the fielder at short fine leg easily 51/43.2 it gets worse for Bangladesh! Absolutely brilliantly disguised stunning delivery! Another slower one outside off, another one that cuts a bit after pitching.. The batsman looks to push it to off, but leaves a gap between the bat and pad and sees flashing lights behind him 16/310.3 un-be-li-evable! Another one for Badree. The captain has to go. It was short , it was wide and it's the catch of the day at point by Bravo.. Mushy got a fair bit of bat on that, but Bravo flies to his right and pulls this inches off the ground.. Super one-hander this one.. 58/610.1 another one goes down! Sabbir reads the googly alright but he pulls it straight to Sammy at midwicket... the fielder takes the catch and drops the ball down immediately as he has hurt his finger.. But I think he held it for enough time for this to be counted.. 57/510.6 make it four for Badree! This is a soft one.. The batsman looks to cut and gets a faint edge to the keeper..Extra bounce does the job. These are his best figures in T20s now 59/714.3 slower delivery, attempted mow across the line, the death rattle is heard - not from the broken stumps - but from the numb crowd. 73/819.1 game over! Full and on off, that beats the bat and hits the off stump.. 98/1018.5 slower delivery, this one is off the middle, heads down to long on where Bravo, nonchalantly takes his close to his boots.. throws it back at the stumps and goes back to his fielding position.. Super catch that one.. 97/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL98 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 5.11)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Tamim Iqbal, 2.3 ov), 2-16 (Anamul Haque, 3.1 ov), 3-16 (Shakib Al Hasan, 3.2 ov), 4-51 (Mominul Haque, 9.1 ov), 5-57 (Sabbir Rahman, 10.1 ov), 6-58 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 10.3 ov), 7-59 (Mahmudullah, 10.6 ov), 8-73 (Ziaur Rahman, 14.3 ov), 9-97 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 18.5 ov), 10-98 (Sohag Gazi, 19.1 ov)
