0.3 to CH Gayle, Would you believe it? Gayle has gone for a duck! Slightly short in length, just outside the off stump and Gayle cuts it straight to point. Rasel is overjoyed, so are his team-mates as they mob him. Bangladesh are off to a great start.. 0/1
Abdur Razzak	4	0	25	2	6.25	10	2	1	0	0
13.4 to S Chanderpaul, Gone! The pressure to up the run-rate does him in. Flighted, too full and Chanderpaul shaped to slog-sweep but the full length meant he could only send it towards long-on.. 95/2 15.3 to DS Smith, gets his man with a quicker one. Clever. He saw Smith charging down the track and sent down a quicker one, full as well and it yorked Smith. Clean bowled.. 104/3

17.5 to D Ramdin, Another one goes down. Loopy delivery on the middle stump line, Ramdin opens up his stance and attempts a slog-sweep but ends up skying it straight up in the air and Rahim has all the time in the world to get under it. 131/5 19.1 to RR Sarwan, Stumped! He runs down the track, the bowler drags back the length and Sarwan tries to work it to on side but is then, beaten by the turn. Rahim does the rest.. 155/6 19.3 to DJ Bravo, Stumped again! Shakib is using those little grey cells. He sees Bravo come down the track, drags back the length and gets it to turn past the intended poke. Quite similar to the Sarwan dismissal.. 157/7 19.6 to DR Smith, Three wickets in the last over. Slightly slower this time and that beats the intended slog sweep.. 164/8
Mohammad Ashraful	4	0	55	1	13.75	5	3	5	0	0
16.6 to MN Samuels, Samuels is gone. Full and on the off stump line, he drives straight to cover. Samuels had looted 20 runs in the over before succumbing.. 126/4

1.1 to Nazimuddin, West Indies nab their first wicket. Nazimuddin has thrown his wicket away. Short and outside off, he ends up miscuing a pull shot towards mid-on. The bat-face was facing straight up, towards the sky, when he made contact and that did him in. 2/1 3.6 to Tamim Iqbal, Done by the slower one. West Indies have taken out the openers. Tamim, again moves outside leg stump, shapes to heave a fullish delivery but is beaten by the slower one and ends up ballooning it to mid-on. 28/2

14.2 to Mohammad Ashraful, Captain gets captain. low dipping full toss and scooped straight to cover. But what a stunner it has been from Ashraful. The fastest Twenty20 international fifty ever. Violent, brutal and innovative.. 137/3 16.2 to Shakib Al Hasan, Flighted delivery outside off, Shakib Al Hasan is down the track and scoops it to long-off. Bangladesh are six runs away from victory. Just one stroke away.. 159/4
