Is it stumped? The square leg umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The UltraEdge first confirms that there is no bat involved. The side-on angle shows that Mosaddek Hossain has his back leg grounded and some part is behind the crease as well. The big screen shows NOT OUT. Everything going Bangladesh's way now. Will they be able to make the most of the momentum here?

This shot was not needed at all considering this is the last over of Rashid. Bangladesh lose their sixth now.
