1.2 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Shoriful Islam strikes with a beauty! Bangladesh is right on top here in Lahore. Fuller in length and around middle, threatens to angle in but shapes away a touch after hitting the deck. Fakhar Zaman gets stuck in the crease as he tries to flick it away, but plays down the wrong line. The ball goes through and hits him on the pads right in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Pakistan is rocked early here, losing both the openers. 5/2

0.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Mahedi Hasan draws first blood! A soft dismissal and the dangerous Saim Ayub walks back for a golden duck. Tossed-up delivery, full and on middle, does not do much. Ayub moves back and looks to flick it away, but closes the bat face very early. The ball takes the leading edge and pops up in the air as Mahedi takes a dolly, moving to his right. 1/1

6.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Tanzim Hasan Sakib breaks this 48-run stand for the third wicket and is thrilled to the core. He runs hard and bowls a heavy ball, on a good length, skidding through, with some extra lift off the deck, on off, Mohammad Haris weighs on the back foot and looks to pull, but does not quite time it well. Airs it straight down the throat of the long on fielder, where Tanzid Hasan doesn't even have to move an inch. Pakistan are 53/3 now as Mohammad Haris departs for 31 (18). 53/3

12 OUT! TAKEN! Salman Agha cannot believe it, as this was a hit-me ball! Hasan Mahmud bowls a high full toss, on off. Agha can put it away anywhere, but backs away and tries to go a bit too hard. He loses his shape a bit and slices it uppishly towards extra covers, where Tanzid Hasan dives forward to take a good catch. Agha departs after a fantastic fifty, and Pakistan are four down now! Salman Agha, the skipper, departs on a well-constructed 56 (34). 118/4

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Rishad Hossain gets his man this time and does not need anyone to help him out. Parvez Hossain Emon is a relieved man as his drop does not cost much. This is pushed through quicker, shortish and on off, sticks to the surface a bit. Hasan Nawaz gets into two minds whether to move forward or stay back. He stays back but ends up chipping it straight to the bowler, where Rishad makes no mistake. Nawaz goes back for a fiery 44 off just 22, and Pakistan lose half their side now. 139/5

19.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND A FANTASTIC CATCH! Islam dishes out a low full toss, across off, Shadab Khan tries to loft this over the cover region, but the bat twists in his hands and also the bottom hand comes off the handle. Hence, the ball gets sliced up in the air, and travels aerially towards the deep point region. Rishad Hossain runs across to his right from deep backward point and takes a good running catch. Shadab Khan departs for an important knock of 48 runs. 200/7

16.1 OUT! GONE! STUMPED! A boundary drought in the last few balls compels Khushdil Shah to take the risk and he perishes. Seeing Shah stepping down the track, Shamim Hossain smartly changes the length and pulls it back, keeping it outside off, from around the stumps. It lands and stays low as Khushdil Shah swings down the wrong line. The ball passes close to the inside edge and the keeper collects it before doing the rest. An easy stumping for Litton Das. 150/6

4 OUT! OUTFOXED! CLEANED HIM UP! What a roaring comeback from Hasan Ali! An off cutter by the looks of it, bang on target, around off, on a fullish length. Tanzid Hasan is a bit early to swing through as he looks to loft it over mid-wicket. The ball keeps shaping in and arrives late on the batter and sneaks through the gap between bat and pad, to disturb the timber. The off pole is uprooted. Tanzid Hasan departs after a fine start - 31 (17). Bangladesh are now 37/2. 37/2

2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The slower one does the trick for Hasan Ali and he continues his form from the PSL! He dishes out a slower ball, and lands it fuller, with a hint of shape into the batter, on the leg stump line. Parvez Hossain Emon tilts forward to whip it over the mid-wicket region, but is early through his shot. Ends up hitting it off the toe-end of the bat and the ball spoons up, and straight down the throat of Haris Rauf at mid on. He is not dropping those. Bangladesh lose their first wicket on 14 runs. 14/1

12 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! A wicket at a very crucial time for Pakistan as Shadab Khan does the trick here! He pulls his length back smartly, and bowls it slower through the air, keeping the line of attack around off. Litton Das' eyes light up as he looks to smash the cut shot through point, but is early into the shot. Hence, fails to keep that along the ground and hits it flat and straight toward backward point. The ball dips in front of Fakhar Zaman there, but the veteran does well by bending low on his haunches and scooping it just before the grass. Litton Das departs on 48 (30) and Bangladesh are 100/3. 100/3

12.4 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust, and both set batters are back in the dugout for Bangladesh! Khushdil Shah spears out a good yorker, angling at the leg stump line. Tawhid Hridoy is pinned on the crease as he tries to work it across the line, but misses and gets rapped on the front pad. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger of the umpire instantly. Bangladesh slip further down to 102/4 now as Tawhid Hridoy departs for a scratchy 17 (22). 102/4

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! Now that's a proper response from the fast bowler! Hasan Ali has three now, and he is pumped up with this one. He steams in and bangs in a sharp and quick bouncer, on middle. Jaker Ali is not expecting that one as he stays back and tries to pull it away. However, he gets hurried and the ball lobs up off the top edge towards short fine leg, where Abrar Ahmed takes a nice catch. A valiant 36 off 20 from Jaker! 148/7

13.2 OUT! STUMPED! Clever, very clever from Salman Agha, the skipper! Bangladesh's chase is going downhill now as they lose half of their side within a snap! Seeing Shamim charging forward, Salman Agha dishes it out down the leg stump line, on a fullish length. Shamim Hossain tries to work across to the leg side but misses to connect. The ball is collected cleanly by Mohammad Haris behind the stumps, and he whips the bails in a flash. Shamim Hossain loses his balance in this process, but tries to plant his back leg inside the popping crease. But, when the wickets are broken, his foot is in the air. The replays too, show the same. 108/5

15.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Shadab Khan strikes and gets his second! He bowls it flatter, short and on off, turns away too. Rishad Hossain moves back and tries to heave it away, but loses his shape completely. The ball takes the top edge and goes straight up in the air. Shadab calls for it, moves to his right, and takes it nicely with a reverse cup. Bangladesh are six down and staring down the barrel now. 124/6

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Hasan Ali strikes again! He has been superb in this game. He bowls this slower one this time, full and on middle. Tanzim Hasan Sakib tries to loft it away but goes through it a bit early and mistimes it high in the air, over the mid-wicket region. Ali calls for it and runs to his right to settle under the high ball, and this time takes a good catch. He makes up for his earlier drop, and Pakistan need just two wickets to win now. 149/8

18.5 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Faheem Ashraf joins the party as well!  He bangs this into the pitch, outside off, gives no pace at all. Mahedi Hasan looks to slap it away but fails to generate enough power on the shot. He ends up hitting it aerially and straight towards sweeper covers, where Hasan Nawaz takes a fine running catch to his left. Pakistan is just one wicket away from victory! 159/9

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! DONE AND DUSTED! HASAN ALI WRAPS THINGS UP WITH A SUPERB FIFER! He pulls his length back a bit this time, on middle, angling in again. Shoriful Islam backs away to lift it downtown again, but this time fails to get the timing right. The ball flies straight towards long off, where Shadab Khan takes a simple catch. Ali is absolutely ecstatic, and the whole team comes in and celebrates with him. PAKISTAN WIN BY 37 RUNS! 164/10
