Shoriful Islam to Mitchell Marsh
OUT! TAKEN! Islam is pumped up and that is a big wicket of Marsh! Is that the game for Bangladesh? They do feel so judging by their celebration. A short of a length ball on middle. it is a slower one. Marsh takes a few steps down the track and then looks to go downtown. He though is surprised by the extra bounce, ends up playing a check-shot. It goes more off the splice and down towards long off where the fielder takes it. Islam is delighted. There were a few words said to him by Marsh earlier on and he has the last laugh.
