Shakib c&b Naveen 0 (Ban 23-3)
Two in two for Naveen-ul-Haq - Afghanistan believe again!
Fired in full and straight by the seamer, Shakib Al Hasan tries to turn it leg side but gets a leading edge.
Naveen reacts well and holds on at the second attempt. He's on a hat-trick!

Host of The Bangla Cricket Podcast on BBC SoundsThis was always going to be a high-risk chase for Bangladesh and Shanto just didn't get hold of that.
WICKETpublished at 2.4 overs
Shanto c Nabi b Naveen 5 (Ban 23-2)
Gone!
Najmul Hossain Shanto tries to repeat the shot from earlier, probably gets a little better contact this time but Afghanistan have moved a fielder out there.
It's straight down the throat of Mohammad Nabi and Naveen-ul-Haq has a crucial wicket.

Ban 23-1published at 2.2 overs
Target 116
Whipped leg side for four.
Not timed perfectly by Najmul Hossain Shanto but he gets enough of it and it's in the gap to find the boundary.

Ban 19-1
Yep, good decision.
The delivery from Naveen-ul-Haq was going down leg on the angle.

Target 118
Afghanistan think they have another one and send the decision upstairs when the umpire turns down their appeal for lbw against Litton Das.
On first viewing, it looked like it might be sliding down leg.

BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC SoundsIt feels like it could be a thriller - there's multiple layers to this.
Ban 18-1published at 2 overs
Target 118
The replays show just how good a delivery that was from Fazalhaq Farooqi, swinging in late to beat the left-hander.
He does it again to end the over, beating another leftie, Najmul Hossain Shanto, as the Bangladesh skipper looked to drive.
Farooqi now has 16 wickets in the tournament.

Roushan Alam
Host of The Bangla Cricket Podcast on BBC SoundsIn hindsight, what a perfect delivery from Farooqi. However, this could be a blessing in disguise for Bangladesh because Tanzid didn't score in three balls.

Tanzid lbw b Farooqi 0 (Ban 16-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesBig wicket for Afghanistan!
Ball-tracking shows it was hitting the top of middle stump and Fazalhaq Farooqi gives his side renewed hope.
Not a pretty shot from Tanzid Hasan and he goes without scoring.

Target 116
Has Fazalhaq Farooqi got the early breakthrough for Afghanistan?
He hits Tanzid Hasan on the back leg and up goes the umpire's finger.
Reviewed at the last second...

Roushan Alam
Host of The Bangla Cricket Podcast on BBC SoundsThe last thing Afghanistan need to see now is their keeper down and out, clutching his leg.
Postpublished at 03:54 British Summer Time 25 June
Image source, Getty ImagesWe've got a delay because Rahmanullah Gurbaz is down.
The last ball of the over, a slower one from Naveen-ul-Haq, bobbled through to him and missed the pad to hit him on the knee.
He looks in quite a bit of pain.
Postpublished at 03:53 British Summer Time 25 June
Roushan Alam
Host of The Bangla Cricket Podcast on BBC SoundsThe optimism will have just risen. Great shot from Litton Das, it's the sort of shot he's got out from a couple of times in this tournament, but perfection on this occasion.
