Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, 1 run, so close! Khawaja wanders down the track again, but the ball dipped on him. A wild swing of the bat later, Khawaja is safe at the other end courtesy an inside edge. Had that not happened, he might well have been stumped
4.5
Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, FOUR, and that was brutal. The flatter ball was bound to come, and Khawaja went low and swept it to the square leg boundary. Mahmudullah was there, but the power on the shot was too much
4.4
Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, FOUR, pure intent! Charged at the spinner again, made contact with the ball as it pitched and lofts it over extra cover. Majestic
4.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, FOUR, beautiful cricket! The trip down the pitch seemed to be a bit premeditated, and when he got there, he realised Shakib had held the ball back. And yet he was able to flick it and time it ever so superbly through straight midwicket
4.2
Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, no run
4.1
Shakib Al Hasan to Khawaja, no run, looks to take advantage of the length - just a bit short and moving across the left-hander - cut straight to cover
 

ModernUmpsPlz: "Looks like Australia are going to disrespect Mustafizur. I don't like it." ---- Now now, its only been one over. Anyway, here's Shakib, around around the stumps
