Shami from round the wicket to Tanzid, who defends the first two balls before he is beaten trying to play the cut shot.
The left-hander smashes the fourth ball, hitting it powerfully over the covers for a four -- the first boundary of Bangladesh's innings.
He shows intent as he chips down the track to hammer Shami again through the covers for another boundary and takes a quick single off the last ball, to get nine runs from the over.
Rana starts his second over with a good delivery angled across, as Tanzid is beaten pushing at it. He nearly drags the next ball back on to the stumps as he looks to smash it powerfully but only manages to inside edge it on to his pads.
Rana switches to round the wicket and also changes his pace with Tanzid adjusting well to block it.
The left-hander has to hurry as he steals a risky single to Kuldeep at mid-on, who fails to gather the ball.
Bangladesh playing with fire despite the early wickets. Mehidy inside edges it to square leg as non-striker Tanzid is halfway before he is sent back. Shreyas swoops in quickly to his right and misses the stumps by a narrow margin with Tanzid struggling to make his crease.
Rana tries the short ball which is down the leg side and ruled a wide as Mehidy misses the pull. He watchfully blocks the last ball to end a good over from Rana.
