Barisal, with 10 first innings wickets remaining, trail Chittagong by 387 runs
Chittagong 471 all out (147.2) Masumud Dowla 80, Gazi Salahuddin 69, Nazimuddin 60, Ehsanul Haque 114 (229, 15x4); Nadif Chowdhury 4-71
Barisal 84-0 (32) Imran Ahmed 35, Hannan Sarkar 47
Ehsanul makes his first hundred, after six(?) fifties. Imran Ahmed has been in decent form for Barisal, while Chittagong's bowlers look weak.
Sylhet, with 9 second innings wickets remaining, lead Khulna by 325 runs
Sylhet 360 all out (102.4) Imtiaz Hossain 114 (132, 16x4, 1x6), Golam Mabud 42, Rezaul Haque 105 (198, 10x4, 2x6)
Khulna 138 all out (39.5) Aslam Ali Khan 33; Hasibul Haque 5-40, Enamul Haque 3-17
Sylhet 103-1 (33) Golam Rahman 44*, Imtiaz Hossain 43
Dismal batting performance from Khulna. Who warned you that Sylhet's bowling attack looked strong?
Rajshahi, with 8 second innings wickets remaining, lead Dhaka by 226 runs
Rajshahi 283
Dhaka 177 all out (59.5) Sajjad Ahmed 33; Farhad Hossain 3-18
Rajshahi 120-2 (37) Jahurul Islam 60, Farhad Hossain 46*
Plenty of Dhaka batsmen made starts, no-one went on to make a big score. Second shock of the week on the cards for Dhaka.
