Bangladesh v Afghanistan - #BendTheRules Moments

14.3 Mirwais Ashraf to Tamim Iqbal, OUT, you could sense it. You could see a reckless shot was around the corner. Tamim opens the face to a length ball on off. Manages just an edge that Afsar Zazai takes diving to his left. He takes it one-handed, but in mid-air he gets it right hand around and nearly transfers it from left to right. The right hand has come around because the ball is slipping out. The right glove pushes it back into the left. This is top keeping. Afghanistan have taken their first World Cup wicket, and they have built dot by dot to it. Persistent accurate cricket from a team known to be mercurial and unpredictable. Moles and Nabi will be pleased

16.4 Mirwais Ashraf to Anamul Haque, OUT, Ashraf has got another. Or has he? Bijoy is hit on the back leg. The only thing that could save Bijoy is the impact, and he has reviewed this after being given out. Length ball, seams in from outside off, beats his drive, hits him on the back pad. The replay comes back with "umpire's call" on impact. So the decision stays. Ashraf has two now: last 16 balls, no run, wickets of both the openers
Anamul Haque lbw b Mirwais Ashraf 29 (55b 4x4 0x6)

44.4 Hamid Hassan to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT, slower ball, and he has bowled him finally. Afghanistan needed this to put the brakes on. Shakib is early into this slog over midwicket, and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. This is delivered wide of the crease, and they are checking for a no-ball. Both his front and back foot are well in. Shakib has to go back. Inside edge onto the pad, and then a trickle into the base of off
Shakib Al Hasan b Hamid Hassan 63 (51b 6x4 1x6)

47.3 Mohammad Nabi to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, high full toss but not high enough to be called a no-ball even despite the smallness of Rahim. The ball gets too close to him, and he can neither hit it for six nor keep it down. Sami Shenwari charges in from deep midwicket and takes a good catch low to his right. But has Rahim already done the damage with a superb innings?

0.6 Mashrafe Mortaza to Javed Ahmadi, OUT, and Bangladesh have struck in the first over. Short of a length, sits up a little and Ahmadi is early into the the shot. He is looking to work it to leg, but manages a big leading edge that lobs up for an easy catch for Mortaza who runs towards cover to claim it
Javed Ahmadi c & b Mashrafe Mortaza 1 (2b 0x4 0x6)

1.1 Rubel Hossain to Afsar Zazai, OUT, another wicket. This is a great start for Bangladesh. Short of a length, outside off, angles in Zazai caught on the hop. The ball skids through to hit him in front of off. Or is it in front of off? Given out by Davis. The two batsmen discuss the review, but decide against it. Seems like umpire's call on the impact with regards to off stump and also with regards to the height

2.6 Mashrafe Mortaza to Asghar Stanikzai, OUT, Bangladesh are running through Afghanistan here. Nervous batting from them here. Wide length ball here, Stanikzai's feet don't move and he throws his hands in a nothing shot well away from his body. Mahmudullah fumbles at first slip, but he doesn't drop it
