Sabbir Rahman to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, well bowled. Sabbir. And he isn't happy that he has to work so hard. Flings in a throw to send Hafeez scampering back into his crease after he had come down the track. Sabbir had picked up on that, shortened his length and kept it to nothing.
And here's the man everyone's talking about. Shahid Afridi. Can you hear those screams?

Sabbir Rahman to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, oh well. There was a helicopterish flourish to that shot and it did seem like he had put a lot of power into the stroke, but that's the longest boundary at midwicket and he ends up caught. It was slightly short and the batsman had set up for a pull, adjusted to play a flick and ended up with something like MS Dhoni's helicoper shot and picks out the man.

Sabbir Rahman to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, moves down the track, but ends up yorking himself. Shehzad needs to keep doing what he has been doing. Not look to do more
13.3
Sabbir Rahman to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, moves inside the line and caresses a length ball on middle stump through the covers
13.2
Sabbir Rahman to Mohammad Hafeez, 2 runs, fired in quicker and Hafeez just rides that pace with a sweep to long leg
13.1
Sabbir Rahman to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 run, a helmetless Shehzad strode down the track with the kitchen sink instead of his bat. Nearly swung himself off his feet and for what? An inside edge through to deep midwicket. He's been better than that this far, but at the final overs, maybe he's feeling the pressure
Haroon Afaq: "Things have changed Dramatically since last night. India lost to New Zealand and now Pakistani Batsmen are scoring freely :/ What's going on Guys? Anyhow lets have a Cracking and Competitive World Cup :) " ---- And it's a belter of a pitch today. Bangladesh shouldn't count themselves out just yet
