48.5 - Shakib to Riaz, FOUR, goes down on one knee and goes for the slog sweep, he didn't time it that well as it went off the inside half of the bat, he got the placement right though as the ball runs away to the fence after escaping through the drive of the fielder, who was running to his left from deep square leg

47.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Riaz, FOUR, full outside off, Riaz loft-drives it over mid-off, who was inside the circle. The ball rockets away to the fence as the fielder at deep extra cover couldn't save the boundary running to his right

46.3 - A Sunny to Riaz, FOUR, flatter from Sunny, Riaz backs away and cuts it through the covers, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence as there was no one in the deep

45.1 - Taskin Ahmed to Saad Nasim, FOUR, good looking drive from Nasim, it was full and on middle stump line, Nasim comes out of his crease and drives it wide of mid-off, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

39.5 - Rubel to Riaz, FOUR, Riaz dispatches the free-hit to the sweeper cover fence. It was short, it was wide and it deserved to be hit. Riaz slashes hard and the ball runs away to the boundary in no time

39.2 - Rubel to Riaz, FOUR, Riaz gets off the mark with a boundary, it was bowled well outside off, Riaz waits on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and guides it past the keeper, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

37.5 - Shakib to Saad Nasim, FOUR, another great shot from Nasim. It was floated up, Nasim makes slight room and lofts it inside-out over extra cover, the ball runs away to the fence as there was no one in the deep

36.3 - Mortaza to Saad Nasim, FOUR, fulll and outside off, Nasim comes on the front foot and drives it through the covers, the sweeper runs to his right, puts in the dive, but the ball rolls back onto the rope

34.3 - Mortaza to Saad Nasim, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Nasim now. This was also bowled well wide outside off, Nasim cracks it to the left of backward point and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

34.2 - Mortaza to Saad Nasim, FOUR, poor ball from Mortaza, it was short and wide outside off, Nasim reaches out and cuts it past backward point, who dives in vain. The fielder from sweeper cover also runs to his left, dives but the ball beats him to the fence

23.4 - Shakib to Saad Nasim, FOUR, that is a fine shot. Fraction short outside off, Saad Nasim rocked back and cut that wide of the diving backward point, once it passed the man in the inner ring, it was always a boundary

19.2 - Shakib to Rizwan, FOUR, Rizwan comes down the track and looks to go over mid-on. Hit very hard and Rizwan beats mid-on to his left, races away

17.0 - Nasir Hossain to Rizwan, FOUR, a gift for Rizwan to get off the mark. A full toss on the stumps, very high one too, clipped through mid-wicket, beats deep mid-wicket comfortably

14.0 - Rubel to Sohail, FOUR, Rubel overpitches outside off and pays the price, Sohail leaning into the off-drive and getting a glorious boundary. Wide of mid-off and the ball races away. Full face of the bat shown and it's a pleasing boundary

7.0 - A Sunny to Azhar Ali, FOUR, lovely from Azhar Ali. Shows off his class by stepping out and then whips the outside off delivery wide of mid-on. Played against the spin and that is similar to VVS in his pomp who destroyed Shane Warne in India

5.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Azhar Ali, FOUR, easy for Azhar Ali. Short and wide outside off, Azhar Ali hops and cracks the cut square of the wicket, splits point and cover and it will be the second boundary of the over for Azhar Ali

5.3 - Taskin Ahmed to Azhar Ali, FOUR, that's a fabulous shot from Azhar Ali. Not a half-volley, but Azhar Ali gets forward and drives on the rise, gets it in the gap at cover to get his third boundary

5.0 - Mortaza to Azhar Ali, FOUR, finally Azhar Ali gets a boundary. He puts this back of a length delivery outside off, through the cover region. The quick outfield does the rest

0.1 - Mortaza to Azhar Ali, FOUR, Azhar Ali puts away the free-hit, dug in short on the stumps, Azhar Ali makes room and pulls over mid-wicket, hit well, two bounces and over the ropes. The free-hit has gone for a boundary. Not a good start for Mortaza

49.4 - Taskin Ahmed to Riaz, SIX, great way to reach your fifty as Riaz clobbers this one. Another slower ball from Taskin and Riaz knew that it was coming, he waits and pulls it over the deep square leg fence for a maximum

49.0 - Shakib to Riaz, SIX, great way to finish the over as Riaz comes dancing down the track and lofts this flighted delivery over the long-on fence. The fielder at the rope could only see it sail over him

37.2 - Shakib to Sohail, SIX, hammered! Shakib gives this one more air just outside off, Sohail comes down the track, reaches to the pitch of the ball and tonks it straight down the ground for a maximum

35.2 - A Sunny to Saad Nasim, SIX, that's a great shot from Nasim! It was tossed up outside off, Nasim comes down the track and lofts it over the long-off fence. There was a fielder at long-off, but he was only a spectator on that occasion

39.0 - Mortaza to Sohail, out Caught&Bowled!! Mortaza picks the crucial wicket of Sohail, he is delighted as he throws the ball in the air after taking the return catch. It was full and outside off, Sohail was looking to drive it through the off-side, he checks his drive and the bat also turns in his hands. He ends up spooning it towards the bowler off the inside half of the bat and Mortaza takes the catch in his followthrough. Sohail c and b Mortaza 44(61) [4s-1 6s-1]

21.3 - Shakib to Rizwan, out Lbw!! Shakib strikes. This one was quicker and came back with the angle from round the wicket, Rizwan got outside the line in trying to defend, the ball raps Rizwan on the pads in front of off and middle. Easy decision for Llong. If there was an inside edge onto the pads, the catch was taken at slip too. Mahmudullah pointed that out to the umpire after taking the catch. Rizwan lbw b Shakib 13(22) [4s-2]

16.5 - Nasir Hossain to Fawad Alam, out Bowled!! Nasir Hossain cleans up Fawad Alam and Pakistan in deep trouble now. This one came back in with the arm, from round the wicket, Fawad Alam was looking to come forward initially, then went back and tried to cut, missed it completely and the ball crashes into the stumps. The ball hits middle and Nasir Hossain roars in delight. Fawad Alam b Nasir Hossain 0(6)

15.3 - Shakib to Azhar Ali, out Caught by Rahim!! What a catch. That is sensational from Rahim. A bit of luck involved too. Azhar Ali reverse-paddled it and it went off the face of the bat, Rahim was already anticipating it to his right, it hits the box and Rahim clutched it as he tumbled to ground. Terrific from Rahim and Llong had the finger up in a jiffy. Azhar Ali c Rahim b Shakib 36(60) [4s-5]

9.0 - A Sunny to Hafeez, out Bowled!! The arm ball does Hafeez in. Very lazy footwork from Hafeez. He is late to get back and the ball slides on and skids through to hit middle and leg, going past the bat which came down at an angle and late. The crowd are happy and Pakistan find themselves in early strife. Hafeez b A Sunny 0(6)

7.1 - Rubel to Sarfraz Ahmed, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Rubel strikes first ball. The bowling change has worked. Excellent catch at a widish slip. Sarfraz Ahmed was on the walk as he punched that wide delivery, got a thick outside edge and Sarkar went with both hands to his right and pouched it well. It was going away from him but he had that in control even as he tumbled to ground after taking it. Sarfraz Ahmed c Soumya Sarkar b Rubel 7(11)

39.1 - Rubel to Saad Nasim, 1 run, angles this in from outside off, Nasim looks to force it through the off-side, gets an inside edge onto the pad and the ball rolls away into the on-side, the batsmen charge across for a quick single and that brings up the 1st ODI fifty for Nasim

37.1 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Tamim goes on the front foot and drives it on the rise, dispatches it to the deep extra cover fence

37.0 - Rahat Ali to Shakib, FOUR, poor delivery from Rahat and Shakib latches onto it in a flash. It was bowled short and with the width on offer, Shakib goes hard on the cut and beats the dive of the backward point fielder

35.2 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim is delighted after he gets to his hundred. He has his arms outstretched as he celebrates his ton. He then swings the bat rapidly as he is overjoyed. The helmet comes off and he soaks in all the applause. Glove-love with Rahim at the end of the celebration. He also becomes the third Bangladeshi cricketer to hit back-to-back hundreds in ODIs. Coming back to the ball, it was full and tailing in on middle and leg, Tamim tickles it off his pads and the ball runs away to the fine leg fence

34.5 - Saad Nasim to Rahim, FOUR, poor ball from Nasim and Rahim takes toll of it. It was a full toss down the leg-side, Rahim helps it down to the deep backward square leg fence, the ball goes over the rope on the bounce

34.4 - Saad Nasim to Rahim, FOUR, short and slightly wide outside off, Rahim's eyes lit up seeing the length on that ball. He rocks back and pulls it magnificently to the deep mid-wicket fence

31.4 - Riaz to Rahim, FOUR, short of length delivery outside off, Rahim stays inside the crease, opens the face of the bat and dabs it past a diving backward point. The ball runs away to the fence and Rahim gets to his fifty in style

29.0 - Ajmal to Rahim, FOUR, edged and four! Ajmal gives this more air outside off, Rahim leans forward and pushes at it, the ball takes the outside edge and runs away to the third man fence. The slip was taken out for Rahim and had Azhar Ali kept it there, it would have been a regulation catch for him

27.3 - Junaid Khan to Rahim, FOUR, poor delivery, you can't bowl it on the pads to Rahim, who tickles this to the fine leg fence. A freebie it was from Junaid

24.4 - Azhar Ali to Tamim, FOUR, Azhar Ali isn't happy with himself, too much width outside off, Tamim gets forward and crashes the drive wide of cover, no sweeper cover and Tamim gets another boundary. Nothing going right for Pakistan

21.3 - Rahat Ali to Rahim, FOUR, hat-trick of boundaries. But this one is a lucky boundary for Rahim. On a good length and outside off, Rahim dabs late and the inside edge almost takes out the stumps. It misses and beats the keeper to his left. Races away

21.2 - Rahat Ali to Rahim, FOUR, now in front of square. Another nothing short ball from Rahat Ali, sits up for Rahim who rocks back and pulls over mid-wicket. Now goes to the deep mid-wicket fence

21.1 - Rahat Ali to Rahim, FOUR, that is treated with contempt by Rahim. Waist high short ball from Rahat Ali, on the stumps, Rahim pulls hard and down to the deep backward square leg fence, fine leg didn't even attempt to run across

17.4 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim toe-ends the pull and gets it over the leaping keeper. It was short and on the stumps, Tamim was late on the shot and once again luck favored him

13.3 - Riaz to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim gets lucky. One-legged top-edged pull over the keeper's head. One bounce and over the ropes. The short ball hurried onto Tamim but he was fortunate that time

10.0 - Riaz to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim is soaring to celestial heights with his batting. That is a phrase borrowed from my esteemed colleague - Bharath R, who is the master. Short on the stumps, Tamim pulls over the leaping mid-wicket, it was in the air and just wide of the fielder. The deep mid-wicket ran but couldn't get there. Hat-trick of boundaries and Tamim is putting Pakistan to the sword single-handedly. Pakistan don't know what to do at the moment

9.5 - Riaz to Tamim, FOUR, good job that Riaz pulled out of the attempt to catch that. Another fierce hit. Skips out and smashes it low and flat to the right of Riaz, he stuck his hand out initially then pulled it away as he realised the power on the shot

9.4 - Riaz to Tamim, FOUR, this is sensational batting from Tamim. Shades of the 2007 World Cup innings against India where he stuck into Zaheer. Gives Riaz the charge and then flat-batted it through cover. No-one moved in the field. That was hit with brute power

9.0 - Ajmal to Tamim, FOUR, Ajmal looks shell-shocked. Third consecutive boundary of the over. Quicker and outside off, the flatter delivery, Tamim rocks back and late-cuts it past short third. Delayed the shot to get it in the gap and Pakistan are under the cosh

8.5 - Ajmal to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim isn't going to allow Ajmal to settle. Uses his feet and goes over cover, inside out and long-off running across to his right can't stop it. This is aggressive batting from Tamim

8.4 - Ajmal to Tamim, FOUR, beautifully played. Quicker and outside off, Tamim used the pace and glided it past Rahat at short third. He ambled after the ball and was never going to pull it back

5.4 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, third boundary of the over and Tamim is flowing like a serene river. Not a bad ball, just a bit too straight, on the stumps, Tamim gets forward and clips through mid-wicket, the ball scoots across the fast outfield and beats the chasing fielder from deep square. He had a lot of ground to cover and failed in his attempt, didn't dive

5.3 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, smashed. The short ball sat up for Tamim to pull and he didn't miss out. Stayed on the front foot, but swivelled to pull through mid-wicket. Beat the fielder in the deep easily

5.1 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, Junaid runs and then dives but parries the ball over the ropes. Another bad delivery, down leg, Tamim flicks wide of the square leg umpire and quickly Bangladesh have raced to 42

4.3 - Junaid Khan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, that's another top shot. It was a half-volley alright outside off, but Mahmudullah bent his knee and square drove through point, in the gap and second boundary of the over

4.1 - Junaid Khan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, now Junaid Khan overpitches and concedes a boundary. On the pads, flicked to deep square leg, beating square leg who gave chase but the ball won the race

4.0 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, neatly played. Sliding down leg, Tamim gets inside the line and deftly glances it to the fine leg fence. Wrong line from Rahat Ali and he was made to pay

3.2 - Rahat Ali to Tamim, FOUR, overpitched on the pads, Tamim flicks handsomely to deep square leg, slickly played and it raced across the turf

2.3 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, angling in from just outside off, Sarkar punches it wide of mid-off, the ball runs away to the fence, third consecutive boundary for Sarkar

2.2 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, deliberate from Sarkar, it was a back of a length delivery outside off, Sarkar opens the face of the bat and guides it past the slip, third man was fairly square and the ball runs away to the fence

2.1 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, banged in short and at the batsman, Sarkar goes for the pull, the ball takes the top-edge, flies over the keeper's head and crashes into the fence

1.4 - Rahat Ali to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, full delivery and shaping away slightly wide outside off, Sarkar puts his front foot across and drives it uppishly in the gap between point and cover, the ball hurries across the turf and runs away to the fence

1.0 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim gives the charge to this shortish delivery well outside off, he cuts it in the gap between point and cover, the ball runs away to the fence and Tamim gets off the mark

37.3 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, SIX, Bangladeshi PM Hasina applauds that shot from Tamim. What a shot! He comes charging down the track and lofts it straight down the ground. He just dismisses Junaid on that occasion

19.0 - Ajmal to Rahim, SIX, Rahim has connected with the slog sweep beautifully. Mahmudullah tried that and got out. Rahim doesn't. Kneels down and slog-sweeps it flat over mid-wicket. Went all the way. Neatly done by Rahim

36.2 - Rahat Ali to Rahim, out Caught by Fawad Alam!! Rahim departs after a good knock. It was a slower ball that was bowled full outside off, Rahim goes for the drive and hits it uppishly towards point, where Alam takes it on the second attempt. He was fooled by the lack of pace on that ball and playing the shot early brought about his downfall. Rahim c Fawad Alam b Rahat Ali 65(70) [4s-8 6s-1]

14.1 - Ajmal to Mahmudullah, out Bowled!! Ajmal gets Mahmudullah out. First wicket in the series. Mahmudullah plays a poor shot to get out. So uncharacteristic of him, he generally is quite solid but this time he went for a big slog sweep and missed. The ball turns in and hits middle. Mahmudullah b Ajmal 17(28) [4s-2]

2.5 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Sarfraz Ahmed!! Sarkar goes after hitting three boundaries in the over. Junaid looks relieved with that wicket. After getting a few balls to jag back in from outside off, Junaid gets this one to move away just a little. It was fuller and outside off, Sarkar goes for another drive on the off-side, the ball shapes away and takes the outside edge to the keeper, who takes an easy catch. Soumya Sarkar c Sarfraz Ahmed b Junaid Khan 17(11) [4s-4]

33.5 - Riaz to Rahim, 1 run, on the pads once again, Rahim tucks it away behind square on the on-side, this single brings up the 100-run partnership between these two

23.3 - Junaid Khan to Rahim, no run, sliding down leg as Rahim misses the flick. Replays showed that it was umpire's call on impact. Hawk-Eye shows it was just clipping. Pakistan were desperate for a review and they took it more in hope than conviction
