18.3 overs -- The sixth wicket falls. Abul Hasan was sent in ahead of regular batsman Nasir Hossain, and he wastes no time in snicking a Thisara Perera ball to the keeper. He does some more damage, wasting the one review which showed a clear nick. Abul Hasan c †Dickwella b Perera 7 (7b 1x4 0x6). FOW: 71/6
16.1 overs -- Sabbir Rahman throws it away with a highly irresponsible shot, charging Thisara Perera but his attempted lofted drive only makes it as far as mid on. Sabbir Rahman c sub (Madushanka) b Perera 10 (12b 2x4 0x6) FOW: 57/5
End of over 15, Ban 53/4

10.4 -- But Mahmudullah throws it away as he falls into the bouncer trap that Bangladesh were so adept at avoiding in the last match against Sri Lanka. Suranga Lakmal bounces the experienced campaigner and he hooks it straight to fine leg. Mahmudullah c Chameera b Lakmal 7 (20b 1x4 0x6) FOW: 34/3
End of over 10, Ban 32/3
