Roach 5-8(5 ov)
8.6
Roach to Nurul Hasan, 2 runs, rare bad ball and there's no hat-trick for Roach, still three wickets in the over. Too full and drifting onto Nurul's pads, clipped away past mid-wicket and he's off the mark with a couple of runs
8.5
Roach to Mahmudullah, out Caught by Dowrich!! Roach is on a roll and he has a five-wicket haul. Bangladesh look stunned, this is a cracker, came from wide of the crease, angled into the right-hander and then got the ball to shape away. A flat-footed Mahmudullah was opened up completely, the ball found the edge and Dowrich did the rest. Third wicket of the over and Roach is on a hat-trick now. Mahmudullah c Dowrich b Roach 0(1)
8.4
Roach to Shakib, out Caught by Holder!! Edged and caught! A duck for the captain and his team are in dire straits now. Roach hobbles as he joins in the celebrations. A nothing shot from Shakib, short of a good length and in that channel outside off, he could have let it go by, instead, he hung his bat out to dry, gets a thick edge and Holder does the rest at third slip. Fourth wicket for Roach and he's on a roll. Shakib c Holder b Roach 0(2)
8.3
Roach to Shakib, no run, full-toss outside off, Shakib leans forward and finds mid-off with the drive
8.2
Roach to Rahim, out Lbw!! Rahim has been given out LBW and he wants a review. This looked close, where's the impact? It's a fair delivery, there seems to be no bat on that and the impact seems to be in front of off-stump. This spells trouble for Rahim, Ball-tracking coming up, impact is umpire's call and it's smashing into off-stump. Rahim is OUT. That's a huge blow for Bangladesh, they have lost their best batsman now and have slipped into early trouble. Nicely bowled by Roach, angled this one back into the right-hander from a good length, Rahim was lunging forward in defence, the bat was hidden behind the pads, he couldn't get outside the line and the ball thudded into the pads, adjacent to off-stump. Umpire Kettleborough thinks and lifts the dreaded finger. Rahim lbw b Roach 0(2)
8.1
Roach to Rahim, no run, Roach comes from wide of the crease and angles it away from the right-hander, Mushfiqur has a look at that and lets it go
6.6
Roach to Mominul, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and caught! This was coming, Mominul's footwork was non-existent in his brief stay in the middle, nicely bowled by Roach, fuller and wider of off, made Mominul feel for the ball, he went with hard hands on the drive, gets a thick edge and Hope gobbles it up at gully. As easy as it comes and Bangladesh have lost their second wicket of the morning. Mominul c Shai Hope b Roach 1(3)
6.4

Roach to Liton Das, no run, on a length and just outside off, defended towards the off-side
6.2
Roach to Liton Das, 2 runs, uppish and safe, Liton hasn't looked comfortable at all, on a length and angling into the right-hander, Liton was looking to drive through the on-side, closed the bat-face and spooned it in the air, just wide of Bishoo at mid-on. Could he have put a better effort, he didn't dive and didn't get a hand to it

Roach to Mominul, 1 run, fuller length delivery outside off, Mominul was rooted to the crease as he pushed forward, gets it into the gap wide of cover for a single

Lovely delivery, short of a good length and in that channel just outside off, drew Tamim into nibbling at that, he doesn't cover for the late movement, gets squared up in the process and the edge is pouched with glee by Dowrich. Roach was good against Sri Lanka and he has started well in this series. Tamim c Dowrich b Roach 4(13)
