PAK vs BAN Live Cricket Score

4.2 OUT! Wow. That's beautiful bowling. Superb stuff. The change in angle does the trick. What a ball. Junaid angles it in but then gets it to straighten up significantly. Das plays down the wrong line and that becomes his undoing. The ball whizzes past the outside edge and much like with Mominul, his off stick goes flying behind. Superb delivery. This is the kind of spark Pakistan were seemingly lacking in the previous games. 12/3

2.5 OUT! GONE! That's the first wicket down for Bangladesh. Junaid Khan strikes on his return to the XI, good start for him, not so much for Soumya Sarkar who's gone for a duck on his comeback into the side. Short ball around off, rising on the batsman too quickly and the pace probably gets him too. He takes on the pull shot and gets a top edge. It balloons towards mid-wicket where Fakhar Zaman comes in a few paces and gobbles a simple catch. 5/1

3.5 OUT! That's what you call a response! Terrific stuff from the left-arm pacer. Got hit for a boundary off the previous delivery and responds by knocking his stumps over. Bowls it a touch fuller than a length and brings it in, it's at a decent pace but the movement does him in. It goes past the inside edge of Haque's bat, raps him on the pads and deflects onto the off stump behind, uprooting it. Bangladesh rocked early yet again. 12/2

41.4 OUT! Rahim misses out on a magnificent hundred. Heartbreak for the little man, he fully deserved it. Full and just outside off, it shapes away ever so late, ever so little. But, it's enough to do Rahim in. He comes forward to drive it through the covers but gets a feather behind. Sarfraz takes a regulation catch and dismisses his opposite number. A good knock though from Mushfiqur, has done a wonderful job for his side yet again, even if he would be feeling disappointed having missed out on staying till the end. 197/6

33.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Hasan Ali has broken the 144-run stand. Relief for Pakistan, they needed this wicket and this should probably lift their body language a little now. Ali bowls it on the stumps, Mithun goes for the pull across the line and that brings about his downfall. The ball takes the top edge and goes high up in the air. Hasan calls for it and takes it. He is ecstatic, the whole of the Pakistan team is. Nevertheless, Mithun walks back after playing a very good innings. However, he would have liked to have added more. His partnership though with Rahim has laid the foundation. 156/4

36.1 OUT! A huge appeal and it has been given! The bowling change has worked wonders as Shadab Khan has struck on the very first ball of his new spell. Two wickets in quick succession here and Bangladesh have half their side back in the hut. It is the leg spinner from the leggie around off, it pitches and turns back in a touch. Kayes tries to work it with the turn but misses. The ball hits him on the back pad. The players appeal and the umpire agrees. Kayes walks upto Rahim and has a chat but then does not review. Rightly so as that looked out and Hawk Eye confirms that. The hero of the last game walks back cheaply. 167/5

47.3 OUT! Bowled 'em! Junaid with another wicket. Started well and now finishing strong. Comes charging in and angles in a fuller delivery on off, Mahmudullah swings across the line and the ball skids right through. Takes the off stump for a walk and brings an end to the dangerous Mahmudullah's stay. 230/8

45.2 OUT! Straight to the man and Mehidy departs! Junaid gets his 3rd of the evening. Continues from around the wicket and keeps it full on middle and off. Hasan flicks it towards short mid-wicket but can't keep it down. Into the hands of Shan Masood (sub) who takes an easy catch. Another timely breakthrough for Pakistan. 221/7

48.5 OUT! BANGLADESH HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 239! A good comeback in the death from Pakistan. Slower one again, Mortaza swings and miscues it as he doesn't judge it right. It skies towards Zaman at long on who settles under the ball and takes a safe catch. 239/10

48.4 OUT! Run out! The overs are finishing up, so the batsmen decided to take the risk. Didn't pay off on this occasion though. Rubel pushes this to the left of the bowler and both take off. Hasan Ali collects the ball, turns and has so much time to run back that he easily gets to the stumps and takes the bails off. They cross over so Rubel is the one who departs. 239/9

0.5 OUT! In the air... taken! What a catch! That was travelling and Rubel has plucked that out of thin air. Take a bow! Bangladesh are up and running as they have got rid of the dangerous Zaman in the first over itself. Once again he falls prey to a spinner. He uses his feet and gets to the pitch of the ball. Hits it hard but uppishly towards mid on. He must have thought boundary as soon as he hit it, but it wasn't to be. Hossain there, times his leap to perfection and hangs onto it. Falls onto the ground after taking it. Fakhar Zaman walks back in disbelief and once again he does not trouble the scorers a lot. 2/1

40.5 OUT! Another stumping and this time it is Imam! This should be game over for Pakistan now. Beautiful bowling by Mahmudullah who is pumped up. He tosses this one outside off and Imam immediately jumps out, aiming to go inside out. However, he is done in by the flight and misses his shot. But Liton doesn't. He is as cool as a cucumber and takes off the bails in a flash. Imam tries to get back but he is miles out of the crease. Liton throws the ball up in the air in celebration. The batting side needs 73 from 55 balls with 3 wickets in hand. 167/7

1.2 OUT! LBW! Second wicket down for Pakistan and the Bangladesh fans are on fire!!! Terrific bowling. Mustafizur lands this on a length, around the line of the stumps, one would suppose. Babar is back in his crease to try and defend that but the ball skids off the surface and pings him on the back pad. Mustafizur, Mushfiqur and perhaps the whole of Bangladesh appeal. The umpire thinks for a while and then raises his finger! Babar walks over to Imam, has a bit of a chat but then, is on his way. No review taken. Hawk Eye shows that to be pitching in line and going on to clip the off stump. Umpire's call would have been the verdict if the review had been taken. Boy oh boy, the Men In Green are on top. Which one? You definitely know... 3/2

3.3 OUT! Edged and a fantastic catch has been taken! This game is alive and kicking. If Bangladesh were 12/3, Pakistan are 18/3. Will we see a revival as we saw in the first innings or are Bangladesh smelling victory already? Let us not talk about the future for now. Let us be in the present. This moment belongs to that man - who scored a magnificent 99 with the bat, was tired but still helped Bangladesh recover. This wicket belongs to him. Full and outside off, angling away, Sarfraz chases it away from his body and does not bother to move his feet much. A poor shot and he pays the price. The edge flies behind but so does Mushfiqur Rahim. He goes to his right and takes it brilliantly. The Pakistan captain has come and now the Pakistan captain has gone. Is the Asia Cup gone too? 18/3

20.1 OUT! Pick that out! What a screamer. And guess what? Shoaib Malik is out of here. Fuller ball on the legs of Malik. It stops and makes Malik flick earlier that he should have. The ball flies towards short mid-wicket where Mortaza dives full length to his left and grasps it with both hands. What a catch. We have already seen some good catches in this innings and we can add another one to this list. Bangladesh now have the upper hand as Pakistan need 155 more runs to win. A tinge of bad news with the good for the fielding side as their skipper looks to have injured himself and walks off the field. 85/4

25.1 OUT! Caught down the leg side! Pakistan have now lost half their side. And what delight for Bangladesh - their part-timer has taken a wicket. A short ball, down the leg side, Shadab cannot control his instincts to pull. He goes for the shot but is cramped for room. The ball takes the glove and goes to the keeper who straightaway runs forward in celebration. Snickometer educates us that it is not glove, but a top edge. 146 more needed from 149 balls. MAIDEN ODI WICKET FOR SARKAR AS WELL. 94/5

39.2 OUT! Stumped! Very good keeping. Makes up for his dropped catch by this sharp take. Off spinner lands on middle. It spins a tad as Ali looks to drive this one coming forward. Misses it completely, Liton collects the ball and takes off the bails in a flash. They check it up for confirmation and Ali is well short. The 71-run stand is finally broken. The end is neigh for Pakistan. 165/6

45.1 OUT! That is a cracking shot but the boundary is very large and the man pouches it in the deep. Pakistan are 9 down. A short ball, around middle, Nawaz gets hold of it and latches onto the pull. The sound made of the bat connecting with the ball is superb but as we have seen in this tournament, the boundaries are way too large. Nawaz gets the height but not the distance. Substitute Nazmul Hossain Shanto settles under it calmly. 186/9

43.5 OUT! In the air, in the air, in the air and Bangladesh get one step closer to the final! A short ball on middle, Hasan backs away once again and attempts the pull. But he is done in by the cutter. He is a master of these. All he gets is a top edge because he is months early into the shot. Mashrafe Mortaza runs to his left from mid on and takes it easily. 181/8
