Bishoo gets the wicket of Tamim caught behind!

First ball into the attack..

12.1 Bishoo to Tamim Iqbal, OUT, what a gift. Bishoo strikes with his first ball. It was short, it was wide, and it was barely turning in. Tamim set himself up for a sumptuous cut, and edged it into Ramdin's gloves.

Tamim Iqbal c †Ramdin b Bishoo 21 (38b 2x4 0x6) SR: 55.26

Maybe so mike, but to be fair, i was making more of a generalisation of the team on paper, not particularly for this match. We all know that fast-bowlers in the sub-continent have to bowl with great control and accuracy, otherwise they will disappear around the park. Sammy's type of nagging medium-pacers would be more suitable here.

Good reply by the Banglas, they're building a steady platform for a possible assault in the last 15 overs. Roach, Russell and Pollard have been expensive, but Samuels, Bishoo and Rampaul have kept it tight. Depending on how the momentum goes between Overs 30-40, should give us a indication of which way the match is going. This could go to the wire like the T20, a few days back.

Bangla 116/1 off 27 RR is 7.95...need dat to get into double digit but Roach and Russell tekking a beating in this batting PP...

Excellent catch by Hyatt! Russell's gets Naeem's wicket....

Excellent indeed and a big wicket to booth....

27.5
Russell to Naeem Islam, OUT, Danza's taken a blinder! Slow offcutter from Naeem, who backs away and swings merrily, but the ball comes on slowly and takes the top edge to fly right up. Hyatt runs back from cover, dives away from the action and takes it with both hands even as he slides along the turf. Supreme stuff.
Naeem Islam c Hyatt b Russell 52 (82b 4x4 0x6) SR: 63.41

Rampaul gets Ashraful cheaply! Ramdin's been good behind the stumps....

Mouthman gaan...Ravi strike now 3 down....Bangla soon fold up...

Samuels gets Kayes! Another catch for Ramdin....

Dis shyte happening too fast...I can't keep up....
