36th over Mashrafe Mortaza: Thomas sweeps brilliantly first ball for a boundary and 3 more runs are scored and the scoring rate begins to increase and Thomas nears his half century

38th over Mashrafe Mortaza: 5 singles as even when the boundaries arent flowing, they still manage to keep the scoreboard ticking

39th over Abdur Razzak: Spinner comes back into the attack, and starts with an awful wide down the leg side which goes for 4 byes, and then later Powell hits him down the ground for 4, as 12 is scored off the over, and the 5th partnership goes past 100

Wallace has the audacity to hit his first ball down the ground for four

44th over Abdur Razzak: Powell moves into the nineties with a great sweep shot first ball of the over for 4, and Wallace does the same to the fourth, and then lofts down the ground off the last to complete a 13 run over as Wales look to make a good score

45th over Alok Kapali: Powell steals a single off the first delivery, then Wallace lofts down the ground looking extremely attacking since he has come in with plenty of boundaries, but...

WICKET: Trying to repeat the off drive, he mistimes, and it is a simple catch for Al Sahariar

Wallace c Al Sahariar b Alok Kapali 16(7) 4 fours

GOLDEN DUCK WICKET: First baller as Grant sweeps and Mortaza takes a great diving catch
