Michael Bracewell: It's a funny one, once you let go of the ball, you don't have much control. Today was my day. (On getting the ball to drift) Some lovely wind out there, nice to get some assistance from the wind, coming from Wellington, I bowl with a lot of wind. The athleticism is amazing in our group, that's something we try as a team, to try and put our bodies on the deck and make sure the opportunities are taken. The breeze took that catch (Shanto's) away from me. Hopefully it slides on a bit in the second innings. We saw in the powerplay it was great to bat, hopefully we can get off to a good start and carry that through.

17:37 Local Time, 12:37 GMT, 18:07 IST: Bangladesh have limped to 236. 300 was supposed to be the norm. But Bangladesh tried a blueprint which failed Pakistan yesterday. The only difference was Rahim and Mahmudullah tried to show some intent but the execution went wrong and they perished.
