Thushara 以 M Saifuddin
Four runs. FOUR! Nuwan Thushara to Mohammad Saifuddin. Reverse Swing-Out half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. That's the end of the first innings, and Bangladesh have recovered from the loss of early wickets to post a competitive total. Both openers fell for single digits, but captain Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy steadied the innings with a crucial partnership. Binura Fernando then struck twice in an over, but Litton and Shamim Hossain counter-attacked brilliantly, adding 77 valuable runs, Litton making 76 whilst Shamin Hossain just fell short of a half century. Fernando was the standout bowler with three wickets. Join us in a few minutes for the run chase.
