That's gone into the gangway and the ball is now down near the food stalls! A great shot from Mehidy Hasan.

That's gone into the gangway and the ball is now down near the food stalls! A great shot from Mehidy Hasan.
Now Mehidy Hasan joins the party with a powerful slog-sweep into the leg-side for another six.
Babar Azam suddenly looks concerned.

It's like Shakib Al Hasan is getting throw downs. Real intent shown from him.

Three fours in the over. This is definitely the bowler that Shakib Al Hasan has decided to take down!
A bit of relief for Iftikhar Ahmed as the rest of his over costs just two more runs.
But 14 off it in total looks to be the signal that Bangladesh are ready to put their foot on the accelerator.
That's better from Shakib Al Hasan as he connects with a half-volley outside off stump and clatters the ball to the cover boundary.
He repeats the trick next ball! This time sweeping the ball through mid-wicket.
Hold on...it's three in a row! Shakib skips down the track this time and whacks it over the bowler's head.
Iftikhar Ahmed is being targeted here.
There's a few heads in hands among the Pakistan fielders as Mehidy Hasan pushes at a drive and the ball loops into the air but lands safely away from two converging cover fielders.
Towhid Hridoy was here for a good time not a long time.
Pakistan mixing up their bowling as Haris Rauf returns, with four runs coming off it.
Shakib Al Hasan looks frustrated after failing to fully capitalise on a half-volley outside off stump. It looks like he is trying to step things up but is struggling for fluency.

Usama Mir races through another over, with Bangladesh knocking it around for four singles.
The Bangladesh supporters in the crowd certainly haven't lost their enthusiasm despite their team's struggles with the bat. They are creating a lively atmosphere in the stadium, which has filled up significantly since the start of the innings.

It's not a perfect batting surface. It's difficult to time it and has looked really tough work. Pakistan want to prevent Bangladesh getting a challenging score on the board. I think a score of 260 would be a challenge on this pitch.

Anyone done "Brian Draculara" yet?

Shakib Al Hasan is wearing bright lime green boots that you cannot really miss.
Shaheen Afridi targets them with a vicious in-swinging yorker, but Shakib does really well to jam his bat down in time.
Good cricket all round.
Here is that brilliant delivery from Shaheen Afridi to account for the key wicket of Mahmudullah.
Mehidy Hasan is the new batter and Bangladesh now have to be careful they don't get bowled out before their full allocation.
Six an over from here will nudge them close to 250, but that looks a tad optimistic now.

Full ball, he closed the face on the drive and it's gone off the edge at head height to slip.
I don't think Usama Mir spins it that big on this track.
I think Shakib Al Hasan came down and said to Towhid Hridoy "come on mate, don't burn a review on that".
Jonathan Agnew

Edged to slip but he's just standing there.
The umpire says out, the fielder is throwing it up in celebration and now he's on his way. What an extraordinary thing.
I've only seen that once before but I won't mention his name because it took him about a year to forgive me...
Hridoy c Iftikhar b Usama 7 (Ban 140-6)
Six and out.
Towhid Hridoy goes for a swipe outside off stump and can only edge the ball straight to first slip.
Hridoy stands there for a moment, as if he didn't think he hit it, but he clearly did and eventually trudges off.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special
That is smeared away for six. Hridoy really slammed that away.
I think he rather fancies Usama Mir, the wrist spinner.
