23rd over - Now Hafeez goes! The pressure created by dot balls
worked. Hafeez, in an attempt to clear Razzak over mid-on, mistimes
completely and gives a simple catch to Nazmul Hossain.
Mohammad Hafeez c Nazmul Hossain b Abdur Razzak 40 (87)
20th over - Bowling powerplay, as expected, goes Bangladesh way! Only 11 runs were scored during the five-over period. Are Bangladesh bowling too well or Pakistan are getting over cautious? It seems to be the combination of both! Pakistan 66/3.
18th over - Umar Akmal replaces Misbah. The Bangladesh bowlers are keeping the things tight, not giving away any leeway to the Pakistan batsmen. Abdur Razzak, the left-arm spinner, has been the pick of the bowlers, making the ball to spin and bounce. Pakistan 63/3.
15th over - Misbah departs! The 36-run stand between Misbah and Hafeez is broken as the former gets run out for 13. A slight hesitation from Misbah's part cost him his wicket. Will it open the floodgates for Bangladesh?
Misbah-ul-Haq run out 13 (23)
14th over - Pakistan build after early losses! Hafeez and Misbah are doing doing it expertly for Pakistan. The two experienced batsmen are concentrating on singles. Pakistan 52/2.
10th over - A couple of boundaries in the over for Mohammad Hafeez. Pakistan are 43/2 and seem to have recovered from the early jitters, at least temporarily.
6th over - Out! Pakistan lose their second wicket as veteran batsman Younis Khan is trapped lbw by Nazmul Hossain. A dream start by Bangladesh.
Younis Khan lbw Hossain 1
5th over - Opener Nasir Jamshed (9) falls to Mortaza in the fifth over as Pakistan lose their first wicket. The batsman fails to clear the infield on the off side and Mahmadullah takes a simple catch in the square cover region.

Mirpur - Bangladesh captain, Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to field in the Asia Cup final against Pakistan at Mirpur on Thursday.
While the home team go into the match with an unchanged playing eleven, Pakistan have brought in wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed in place of out-of-form pacer Wahab Riaz.
Pakistan could be considered overwhelming favourites, having won 29 of their 30 encounters against the Tigers, but the hosts go into the match with back-to-back victories against India and Sri Lanka.
The two teams previously met in the opening match of the competition where Bangladesh went down by 21 runs, after losing their last five wickets for a mere 17 runs.
