Mashrafe's swat, Buttler's anger

Adil Rashid had struck Mahmudullah on the side of his front pad, and umpire Sharfuddoula raised his finger. Mahmudullah was on his way out, showing anger at himself by punching his bat. But suddenly he looked at the dressing room, turned around and took the review. On first view, it would look as if the ball had struck Mahmudullah's gloves in his attempt to paddle Rashid, but a side-on view confirmed why Sharfuddoula and Mahmudullah were right. The ball struck his pad and would have hit between middle and leg.

Mashrafe Mortaza's trouble facing the short ball has been around for more than a decade, and he has found different ways to combat this problem. Today, he employed the swat against Chris Woakes when Bangladesh were in desperate need of boundaries. But it was a shot that even he didn't think would end up where he intended: deep midwicket. He was looking behind him, thinking it had taken the top edge and gone behind the wicketkeeper. It went to midwicket where Jonny Bairstow's misfield gave them the required boundary.

England bowlers picked up several wickets using the shorter length. Chris Woakes removed Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes while Jake Ball and Ben Stokes removed Mushfiqur Rahim and even Shakib Al Hasan with deliveries of similar length. And so did Rashid, though he was fortunate to have Mosaddek Hossain's wicket with a slow, short ball. The batsman tonked it right down deep midwicket's throat.

Bangladesh awaited the third umpire's decision on Jos Buttler, who was struck in front with the leg-stump exposed. The batsmen and the fielders awaited the call. The Bangladesh dressing room started celebrating and from that the players in the middle started too. Mahmudullah was standing towards the batsmen, when he turned towards them and clenched his fists. After the on-field umpire made the signal, Buttler started to walk towards the Bangladesh fielders angrily. Gone was the happy expression that was Buttler's regular outlook throughout this tour so far.
