The leggie lands this on the leg stump line, Shakib stays back footed as he looks to turn it to the leg side. But he is beaten as the ball straightens and hits him on the back leg. The Afghans go up in a loud appeal and the umpire obliges soon. No reviews left and Shakib has to go back to the hut. Replays show that it was out. Bangladesh in deep, deep trouble.
