Dhananjaya to Shanto, out Lbw!! Looks absolutely plumb as the players wait for the replays. This was a length delivery that kept straight and pinned the batsman on the pads. He was on his backfoot and deep in his crease when he got hit on the pads and the replays confirm this was crashing into the stumps. Pitching in line, impact in line, hitting the stumps. The man with the golden arm strikes, gets the opposition skipper. His second wicket of this innings as Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket. Shanto lbw b Dhananjaya 19(48) [4s-1 6s-1]
