48.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Matthew Cross, FOUR, edged and four! It was full and outside off, Cross throws the kitchen sink at it as he looks to drive, he gets a thick outside edge that flies past a diving keeper and runs away to the fence

46.5 - Nasir Hossain to Berrington, FOUR, this time Berrington backs away and cuts this flatter delivery to the deep extra cover fence, the fielder from long-off was running to his left and was looking to cut it off, but the pace on the ball beats him to the fence

43.3 - S Rahman to Coetzer, FOUR, kneels down and this time sweeps well and gets it behind square, the ball runs away to the fence

41.3 - Mortaza to Coetzer, FOUR, poor bowling from Mortaza, it was another full toss from him, Coetzer waits for it and just smashes it to the right of mid-off, the ball runs away to the fence

41.2 - Mortaza to Coetzer, FOUR, overpitching outside off, Coetzer goes hard at it, gets a thick outside edge that runs away to the third man fence, the fielder at short third man could only watch the ball go past to his left

39.2 - Rubel to Coetzer, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Coetzer, it was also full outside off, Coetzer just lofts it over the mid-off fielder and the ball crashes into the fence, great shot from Coetzer

39.1 - Rubel to Coetzer, FOUR, 100 of the partnership comes up with another boundary, it was full and outside off, Coetzer leans forward and drives it to the left of extra cover, who had no chance of cutting that off, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

35.4 - Mortaza to Coetzer, FOUR, good shot from Coetzer now, it was full and outside off, Coetzer leans forward and lofts it over cover, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

32.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Coetzer, FOUR, super shot from Coetzer, it was full and outside off, Coetzer presses forward and drives it uppishly through the covers, the ball races away to the fence in quick time

31.3 - S Rahman to Coetzer, FOUR, poor ball from Rahman, Coetzer rocks back to this short delivery and pulls it behind square, the ball runs away to the fence, this is now the highest score by a Scottish batsman in World Cups

30.4 - Mahmudullah to Mommsen, FOUR, rank long hop and it deserved a boundary. It was well down leg, Mommsen rocks back and pulls it behind square, Anamul at deep square leg had no chance of stopping

30.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Mommsen, FOUR, the over ends in the same way it started. Short and wide of off, Mommsen slashes hard, the ball takes the outside edge and flies over the vacant slip cordon. No chance for third man to stop that

29.1 - Taskin Ahmed to Coetzer, FOUR, poor delivery to start a new spell. Short and wide outside off, asking to be put away, Coetzer says thank you very much and cracks the cut in front of square, well wide of the sweeper cover

28.3 - Rubel to Coetzer, FOUR, after two full balls, Rubel goes back to bowling short, Coetzer fetches it from outside off and pulls it to the right of mid-on, the lightning fast outfield takes it the fence

27.1 - S Rahman to Coetzer, FOUR, tossed up outside off, Coetzer drives it to deep extra cover, the timing was exquisite as the ball raced away to the fence

25.0 - Rubel to Coetzer, FOUR, sloppy! That brings up his 7th ODI fifty, his second in this World Cup. Fullish and outside off, Coetzer drives and gets an outside edge to third man, Taskin runs to his right and allows the ball to sneak past his legs

22.3 - Mortaza to Coetzer, FOUR, superb shot! Slower ball which is short in length, Coetzer is quick to pick that up, he goes back and hammers the pull wide of mid-wicket, beats the man at long-on as well

19.4 - Shakib to Coetzer, FOUR, in the air, but in the gap. Quicker delivery on the stumps, Coetzer leans forward and flicks it in the air, there were two fielders at mid-wicket, but he split them to perfection

18.1 - Rubel to Coetzer, FOUR, back of a length and on the fourth stump line, Coetzer looks to force it off the back foot, the outside edge runs away fine to third man, the fielder was square and had no chance of cutting that off

15.3 - Rubel to Machan, FOUR, cracking shot! The timing on that was simply superb. A long half volley outside off, Machan comes on the front foot and creams it through extra cover, no chance for the sweeper cover to stop that

14.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Coetzer, FOUR, poor delivery to end the over. Taskin errs in line, drifts onto the pads, Coetzer tickles it fine and beats a desperate dive from Rahim behind the stumps. Taskin has his hands on his face, he knew it was a bad ball. The ball also deflected off the thigh pad

13.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Machan, FOUR, lovely shot! Dug in midway down the wicket, Machan gets inside the line and pulls it behind square, he played it the West Indian way with one leg in the air. The timing was also excellent!

12.4 - Mahmudullah to Coetzer, FOUR, that almost took umpire Oxenford with it. Half tracker on leg-stump, Coetzer goes deep in the crease and pulls it hard, it was in the air and heading straight for Oxenford's head, he does well to duck away and ended up flat on the ground. The ball races away to the deep backward square leg fence. That would have not been the best of birthday presents for Oxenford, who turns 55 today

8.5 - Rubel to Gardiner, FOUR, wrong line from Rubel, drifts onto Gardiner's pads, he tickles it fine, Rahim dives to his left and tries to gather it, but ends up parrying it to the fine leg fence. He was disappointed that he could not stop that

8.3 - Rubel to Gardiner, FOUR, anything short and Gardiner seems to pounce on it. He swivels and pulls it all along the ground throug mid-wicket. Though it didn't come off the middle, the ball had enough to reach the fence

6.4 - Mortaza to Gardiner, FOUR, poor delivery and deserved to be put away. Banged in halfway down the wicket, no real venom on that delivery, Gardiner rocks back and pulls it in front of square, it was in the air but well over the mid-wicket fielder

0.4 - Mortaza to MacLeod, FOUR, another top shot! It is a gentle full delivery on the stumps, no swing whatsoever, MacLeod presents the straight bat and drives it to the left of mid-on, the sweet timing takes it to the fence

0.2 - Mortaza to MacLeod, FOUR, lovely shot! That should get him going. It was an overpitched delivery just outside off, MacLeod leans forward and caresses the drive through extra cover. The lightning fast outfield takes it to the fence

47.2 - Shakib to Matthew Cross, SIX, what a way to reach 300, another maximum and this time it was Cross, it was another low full toss outside off, Cross kneels down and drags the sweep over the deep backward square leg fence, super shot that

46.2 - Nasir Hossain to Berrington, SIX, another super shot from Berrington, he is turning on the heat here, it was floated up, he backs away and lofts it inside-out over the deep extra cover fence for a maximum

45.3 - S Rahman to Berrington, SIX, humongous! That's a great shot, it was tossed up from Rahman, Berrington kneels down and slog sweeps it over the deep mid-wicket fence, he got so much power behind it that the ball hit the roof, brilliant shot from Berrington

41.5 - Mortaza to Coetzer, SIX, length delivery outside off, Coetzer had enough room to frees his arms as he hammers this over the long-on fence and over the sightscreen, great shot

39.5 - Rubel to Coetzer, SIX, mammoth hit! Rubel is not learning his lessons here, he is bowling it very full and this time Coetzer just launches it over the long-off fence with ease, the bowler walks back disappointed

37.4 - Rubel to Coetzer, SIX, what a way to bring up your hundred! Coetzer becomes the first Scottish batsman to hit a ton in a World Cup game, it was angling in on off and middle, Coetzer launches it over the long-on fence and is delighted, he takes off his helmet, hugs his captain and waves his bat to the crowd

35.3 - Mortaza to Mommsen, no ball, SIX, Mortaza oversteps and Mommsen beautifully hits one over the fence, it was fuller and on off and middle, Mommsen comes forward and launches it over the wide long-on fence, replays show it was a harsh call from the umpire as Mortaza had some part of the foot grounded before the crease

19.2 - Shakib to Coetzer, SIX, fantastic shot! It was a flighted delivery on off, Coetzer kneels down and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket, no fielder there and it just cleared rope

10.4 - Mahmudullah to Machan, SIX, fabulous shot! Great use of the feet from Machan. He shimmies down the track to this flighted delivery, meets the pitch of the ball and plays the pick up shot over deep mid-wicket. That easily went 20 rows back

49.5 - Shakib to Haq, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Great catch from Sarkar. Shakib applauds the effort from the fielder. It was dragged short, Haq waits on the back foot and pulls it in the air, he didn't time it well at all, Sarkar from deep mid-wicket runs forward and takes a brilliant low catch. Haq c Soumya Sarkar b Shakib 1(3)

49.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Matthew Cross, out Caught by S Rahman!! Cross departs after a little cameo. Taskim punches the air in delight. It was slower short ball from Taskin, Cross makes room and looks to cut hard, but picks out cover-point to perfection. Rahman takes a simple catch. Matthew Cross c S Rahman b Taskin Ahmed 20(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

48.3 - Taskin Ahmed to Berrington, out Caught by Rahim!! Berrington departs the very next ball after getting hit on the wrist. It was the slower one well outside off, Berrington goes after it, but ends up slicing it as it was far away from his body. The keeper calls it as he was running back and takes a good catch at the end. Berrington c Rahim b Taskin Ahmed 26(16) [4s-1 6s-2]

44.4 - Nasir Hossain to Coetzer, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Coetzer departs after an outstanding innings. He walks back disappointed, but soaks in the applause from the crowd, punches his bat with the batsman coming in. He also waves his bat all around, that was a superb knock from him. Coming back to the wicket, Coetzer tried to pull this one out of the park, but ends up getting a top-edge, Sarkar at deep mid-wicket runs forward, gets under it and reverse cups it perfectly. Coetzer c Soumya Sarkar b Nasir Hossain 156(134) [4s-17 6s-4]

42.5 - Nasir Hossain to Mommsen, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Mommsen departs while trying to up the ante. He backed away on this delivery and Nasir followed him with a fuller one, he plays the pick up shot but doesn't get the desired elevation or distance, the fielder at deep mid-wicket judged it wrong at first as he was late to take off, but recovered in time as he dived forward and took a good catch. That was a good knock from the Scottish captain, giving his hitters a platform to go big right from the outset. Mommsen c Soumya Sarkar b Nasir Hossain 39(38) [4s-2 6s-1]

24.0 - S Rahman to Machan, out Caught&Bowled!! Sabbir picks up his first ODI wicket! Scotland have lost a set batsman against the run of play. It was slower through the air and on off, Machan closes the bat face a little early, the leading edge pops back to the bowler, Sabbir takes an easy catch. A much needed wicket for Bangladesh as the partnership had started to gather momentum. Machan c and b S Rahman 35(50) [4s-2 6s-1]

9.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Gardiner, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Poor ball, poor shot, but a good catch. Taskin is pumped up as he celebrates by pumping his fist. Short and plenty of width on offer, Gardiner could have hit that anywhere, but instead it he cuts it towards cover-point, Sarkar moves to his left and reverse cups it. Another batsman, who has thrown away a start. Gardiner c Soumya Sarkar b Taskin Ahmed 19(32) [4s-3]

2.2 - Mortaza to MacLeod, out Caught by Mahmudullah!! Mortaza strikes! MacLeod, who was looking good for the first time in the tournament has been dismissed. It was short of length and holds its line, MacLeod camps on the back foot and closes the bat face early, the ball takes the leading edge and lobs towards cover-point, Mahmudullah runs to his left and takes the simplest of catches. MacLeod c Mahmudullah b Mortaza 11(11) [4s-2]

43.5 - S Rahman to Coetzer, 1 run, run-out chance missed! He gives the charge this time and almost yorks himself, ends up squeezing it to the left of the bowler and sets off, the bowler was quick to run across and pick the ball, he fires in the throw at the non-striker's end and it was just above the stumps, a direct-hit would have meant curtains for Coetzer

43.1 - S Rahman to Coetzer, 1 run, 150 for Coetzer with this single, the first time an Associate batsman has reached this mark in a World Cup game, it was flatter outside off, Coetzer knocks it down to long-off for a single

48.1 - Iain Wardlaw to Shakib, FOUR, that's it! Bangladesh win by 6 wickets and put more pressure on England. This is their highest successful run chase in ODIs and it is also the second highest run chase in World Cup history. Full and wide outside off stump, Shakib takes a step forward, slices it over backward point and signs off in style. He gets to his 28th ODI fifty as well. Rahman congratulates Shakib for reaching the milestone

39.4 - Alasdair Evans to S Rahman, FOUR, outside edge and oh no! There was a man at slip the previous ball but Mommsen moved him to mid-wicket for this ball. This short of length delivery nips away slightly, Rahman looks to defend, gets a thick edge and it runs away to the third man boundary

24.2 - Haq to Tamim, FOUR, deft touch! Goes deep in the crease and guides the flighted delivery very late and beats third man

42.5 - Haq to S Rahman, SIX, oh he's hit that onto the roof and it's out of the ground! Floated up from Haq, Rahman dances down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and smacks it over long-on for a 97-metre hit. New balls please!

36.4 - Iain Wardlaw to Rahim, SIX, that's a magnificent shot and what a way to bring up his 20th ODI fifty. Length ball outside off stump, Rahim steps out and lofts it high over long-off. No great celebrations from Rahim, he knows that the job is not done yet

29.4 - Machan to Rahim, SIX, that is a very well connected slog-sweep from the former Bangladeshi skipper. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Rahim gets down on one knee and sends it soaring over deep mid-wicket

38.0 - Alasdair Evans to Rahim, out Caught by MacLeod!! Oh this is a big wicket for Scotland. Rahim has thrown it away. A needless shot! Slower ball on the off stump, Rahim tries to go over mid-wicket, but gets it on the outside half of the bat, the ball goes high in the air, mid-on keeps his eyes on the ball runs back and takes a good catch. Rahim c MacLeod b Alasdair Evans 60(42) [4s-6 6s-2]

31.3 - Davey to Tamim, out Lbw!! Absolute waste of a review. That looked very out to the naked eye. Anyway, well played Tamim Iqbal. He's set the base with a fine knock. Good length delivery pitching around middle and leg, the ball nips back in slightly and hits Tamim on the front pad as he fails to connect with the drive. The impact was on middle and it was going on to hit middle stump. The umpire had no hesitation in his mind and put his finger up in a flash. Timely wicket for Scotland this. Tamim lbw b Davey 95(100) [4s-9 6s-1]

23.3 - Iain Wardlaw to Mahmudullah, out Bowled!! Oh this is a bizarre dismissal! Mahmudullah backs away and also comes down the wicket, Wardlaw follows the batsman and bowls a yorker, Mahmudullah tries to flick, but misses as it comes on the full, the ball hits Mahmudullah's back toe and goes onto hit the stumps. He holds his toe and limps off in pain. That ends a 139-run stand. Is this the opening Scotland wanted to gain a bit of momentum? Mahmudullah b Iain Wardlaw 62(62) [4s-6 6s-1]

17.5 - Machan to Tamim, 2 runs, gets down on one knee and paddles this flighted delivery fine to fine leg. That brings up the 100-run stand as well

16.5 - Haq to Tamim, 1 run, on the leg stump, nudged through mid-wicket and that's his 28th ODI fifty. He's put his hand up when the team needed someone to do well at the top chasing a big score

14.1 - Haq to Tamim, no run, big mix-up. Oh the throw hits the non-striker as he runs back. Flighed delivery on the leg stump, Tamim turns it to mid-wicket, Mahmudullah comes racing for a run, but Tamim says no, Mahmudullah turns back and rushes, the fielder has a shy but the ball hits Mahmudullah. Good that Scotland don't appeal for obstructing the field as Mahmudullah did not deliberately change direction

9.3 - Alasdair Evans to Mahmudullah, 1 run, again a brilliant shot! Oh, this could be a run-out at the bowler's end but the fielder misses the sticks. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Mahmudullah punches it very hard, cover-point dives to his left and half-stops the ball, Tamim wants a run but Mahmudullah is late to respond, MacLeod takes aim and fires a throw at the bowler's end but doesn't hit the target. A direct-hit would have been curtains for Mahmudullah, despite putting in a full length dive
