OUT! lbw b Azmatullah Omarzai.

That one stays low! Shorter and on middle, this one stays a touch low. Das looks to pull but it goes off the under edge towards short fine leg for one.

SIX! Over the fence! That is a poor delivery, it is short and it sits up to be hit, outside off, Das cuts. It flies over point. The umpire is not sure whether it has gone all the way, the replays show it has. Runs flowing now.

Short again and on the body, this is pulled again towards deep square leg, only one.

On the bounce! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled but towards deep square leg for one.

DRINKS! That last over has probably shifted the momentum now towards the hosts! Before that, Afghanistan had a hold over this game, they had got three and were not letting Bangladesh score freely. They though would know one more wicket and the game once again would be in their control. The hosts, on the other hand, will hope this partnership can go on for longer. Azmatullah Omarzai to bowl after the break.

SIX! High and handsome! The Bangla skipper goes big this time and dispatches it into the crowd. Full and around off, in the slot for the batter, Mahmudullah goes down and muscles it over mid-wicket. 17 from the over
