No run, the batter lets the ball go outside leg stump.
An inswinging yorker to greet the skipper. Full and straight, on middle. Rahmat Shah keeps the front leg out and digs it back down the pitch.
Good length on the pads, nudged away 'round the corner on the leg side for a single.
Well, Bangladesh aren't going down without a fight. Skipper Rahmat Shah is in at number 4, with Afghanistan in a bit of trouble.
OUT! TIMBER! Wow, some high-quality cricket being played out there. Taskin Ahmed one-ups Atal's eye-catching shot with a snorter of a delivery, and Afghanistan are 39/2, chasing 161. Ahmed just goes slightly wide on the crease and pitches the ball up on off stump, angling it in. Sediqullah Atal looks to cover the line and play with a straight bat, but the ball straightens beautifully off the deck and beats the outside edge to crash into the off pole.
FOUR! Well, it's taken 12 balls, but Sediqullah Atal has played an eye-catching stroke to get off the mark. Full of a good length, just outside off. Atal gets halfway forward and gloriously drives it off the middle of the bat and through extra cover for a boundary.
Pitched up at the stumps this time, and Sediqullah Atal solidly blocks it off the front foot. Atal is now on naught off 11 balls.
Well bowled again, and Atal is yet to get off the mark. Taskin comes around the wicket, angling it in from outside off and getting it to seam away. The ball keeps a bit low and Atal fails to lay a bat on it, getting beaten past the outside edge.
Hard length, into the deck and darted well across off. Atal hangs back and reaches out, ending up toe-ending it down into the off side.
Play and a miss! Full of a good length, angling it across the left-hander. Atal leans into the cover drive but is well beaten.
