Wagner to Rahim, no run, the ploy doesn't change. But the angle forces the line to, wide outside off and much easier to leave it alone

Wagner to Rahim, no run, once again a one handed bat hang down and he takes it on the handle

Wagner to S Rahman, no run, now gives him the bumper to deal with as well. Manages to get himself out of the firing line and follows it up with a stare
32.5
Wagner to S Rahman, no run, quickly behind and tall in defence
32.4
Wagner to Rahim, 1 run, put down. The leg-rib tactic almost pays off. Another one of those attempts to get his hands up first to protect the ribs and then get them away to protect the fingers.

Wagner to Rahim, no run
32.2
Wagner to Rahim, no run, approaching the body, sees the back bender and spontaneously crouches onto his knees

30.4
Wagner to Rahim, no run
30.3
Wagner to Rahim, no run, back on the ribs. Has Mushfiqur hopping around the place. Gets his bat up in time looking to fend ity away and it is one of those injured fingers that has taken a beating once more. Very fortunate to watch the ball lobbing into no man's land
30.2
Wagner to Rahim, no run, hops and bunts it into the off-side

28.3
Wagner to Rahim, no run, on the wider side outside off, left alone

Wagner to Rahim, no run, a pained hook. Very defensively looks to get himself inside the line and streches his bat near the head to keep it out. Very uncomfortably behind square
28.1
Wagner to Rahim, no run, looks to stand tall and get himself inside the line of the delivery. Not a bad ploy with the leg trap in place as he hoists his bat up vertically. Just that he cannot avoid contact totally. off the thighs to leg gully
26.6
Wagner to Rahim, no run
26.5
Wagner to Rahim, FOUR, a jammer on the fingers to welcome the new man. With the leg trap in place, Wagner bangs in a rib-tickler. Fended away with the bottom hand coming off the handle just in the nick of time to minimize the damange as the ball tickles away very fine into the fence
26.4
Wagner to Mominul, out Caught by C de Grandhomme!! Only a matter of time. It really was. Mominul, who was finding it miserable to withdraw his bat to balls outside off finally gives in. Slashes hard to a fullish delivery asking for the drive and was in no control of this one. The man at gully doing the rest. Some crazy strategies being rolled out here. Mominul c C de Grandhomme b Wagner 23(37) [4s-3]

Wagner to Mominul, no run, a quick trigger to get across and follows it up with a pained leave. Finding it very difficult to make peace with his bat not messing around with the ball

18.3
Wagner to Mehedi Hasan, out Mehedi Hasan Run Out!! 1 run completed. Crazy running in the final over of the day. Make no mistake, Santner was sensational here but questions have to be raised as to the thinking. It is driven to the left of mid-on before a mix-up ensues. Meanwhile, Santner is quick to run across, slides to collect and then guns the stumps down. The only saving grace from Bangladesh's point of view is that it's the night-watchman who is out.
