45.4 - Rubel to Riaz, FOUR, Soumya Sarkar tails to prevent the boundary despite a dive. It was pulled hard and to the left of deep mid-wicket, Sarkar ran and dived but just got a hand on it, the ball then rolled into the ropes. That was a good effort but the timing on the shot meant Sarkar's effort went in vain

44.1 - Shakib to Saad Nasim, FOUR, that is a poor delivery from Shakib, way too short on the stumps, Saad Nasim rocks back and pulls to deep mid-wicket, hit in the gap and bisected the two men on the fence

43.5 - Mortaza to Saad Nasim, FOUR, that was smashed. Waited for the short delivery and pulled it down, deep mid-wicket diving got a hand but the power on the shot meant that he couldn't stop it cleanly. Trickles away into the ropes

42.2 - Shakib to Saad Nasim, FOUR, Saad Nasim comes down the track and then connects with the loft. To the pitch and straight back over the bowler's head. Trickles away into the straight boundary

33.0 - Rubel to Azhar Ali, FOUR, that is a rubbish delivery and Azhar Ali moves into the nineties with a super cut. Off-speed short ball outside off, Azhar Ali latches onto the cut and delays the shot to beat sweeper cover to his left

30.3 - Rubel to Azhar Ali, FOUR, a front foot cut and Azhar Ali gets another nice boundary. It wasn't too short but Azhar Ali latched on, timing the shot past the diving point, beating the fielder to his left. Third man couldn't get across

30.1 - Rubel to Sohail, FOUR, Rubel comes back and starts off with a half-volley outside off, Sohail gets forward and drives superbly through cover. Leant into the shot and timed it all along the ground. Brilliant threading of the gap too on the off-side

29.4 - S Rahman to Azhar Ali, FOUR, Azhar Ali goes over cover. Makes room and then lifts the tossed up delivery on the stumps into the gap at deep cover. The ball trickles away into the fence

25.5 - Nasir Hossain to Azhar Ali, FOUR, deft touch from Azhar Ali. Saw the shortish length outside off, Azhar Ali rocked back and opens the face of the bat to glide it down to third man, nicely done

25.1 - Nasir Hossain to Azhar Ali, FOUR, again Azhar Ali takes a calculated risk and it comes off. Skips out and goes over mid-off. Knew that the fielder was in and ensured he cleared him, which he did

19.4 - A Sunny to Azhar Ali, FOUR, Azhar Ali has hit that hard and over cover. Danced down and got to the pitch before getting it in the gap, punches gloves with Hafeez after playing that

13.5 - Nasir Hossain to Sami Aslam, FOUR, intentional and Sami Aslam gets a boundary. Sees the flight outside off, goes over cover. Inside-out, long-off running to his right can't get across in time

10.2 - Rubel to Azhar Ali, FOUR, lovely timing from Azhar Ali. Drifting on middle and leg, Azhar Ali whipped it wide of both mid-wicket and mid-on, who barely moved as they watched the ball run away to the fence

8.5 - Mortaza to Azhar Ali, FOUR, second time in two overs that Azhar Ali has timed the cut past the short point fielder. This time the fielder didn't even get a hand to it diving across. That was crisply played by the Pakistani batsman

7.5 - Rubel to Sami Aslam, FOUR, overpitched and Rubel pays the price. Sami Aslam kneels down and on a bent knee smashes the cover drive and no-one moved

7.3 - Rubel to Azhar Ali, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Azhar Ali hammers the cut hard into the ground, short cover diving to his left gets a hand, takes some pace off the shot but still it goes to the boundary

5.4 - Nasir Hossain to Sami Aslam, FOUR, this is superb batting. Quicker ball outside off, Sami Aslam hangs back and chops down on it, the ball runs wide of backward point and the outfield does the rest. Consecutive boundaries

5.3 - Nasir Hossain to Sami Aslam, FOUR, dragged down short outside off, Sami Aslam rocks back and pulls it down beating mid-on who gave chase. Fourth four for Sami Aslam

4.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Sami Aslam, FOUR, delightful drive this. Sami Aslam looks to be a compact player, from what one has seen so far. He gets forward and then laces the length delivery wide of mid-off, to the right of the fielder. That's three boundaries in the over

3.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Sami Aslam, FOUR, Taskin Ahmed seems to be not learning. He digs it in short, but the ball rises near his head and Sami Aslam still hooks it away, controlling the shot with a roll of the wrists. Kept it down and the ball raced away to the deep backward square leg fence

3.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Sami Aslam, FOUR, can't bowl short on this wicket. Sami Aslam was quick to rock back and pulls to the deep backward square leg fence. Shifted his weight and swivelled on the shot to get it to the boundary

2.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Azhar Ali, FOUR, fabulous cut shot. On a back of a length outside off, Azhar Ali flashed the cut wide of the diving backward point, third man had little ground to cover to his right but the ball beat him to the fence. He should've dived but didn't

36.4 - A Sunny to Sohail, SIX, just over Mahmudullah running back and leaping at long-on. Sohail used his feet and lofted it over the ropes. He must have felt that he had holed out when he hit it, but got away with it

27.1 - S Rahman to Sohail, SIX, just over the leaping deep mid-wicket. Full toss from Rahman first up, Sohail heaves it and clears the fielder peddling back

49.0 - A Sunny to Junaid Khan, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. Junaid Khan attempts the reverse sweep to a ball on middle and misses. It was quicker and Junaid Khan didn't connect. Very ambitious stroke attempted and the ball crashes into middle and leg. Sunny does a little jig. Junaid Khan b A Sunny 4(6)

47.3 - Rubel to Saad Nasim, out Caught by Taskin Ahmed!! Pakistan continue to lose the plot. Nothing but a straight full delivery on the stumps, Saad Nasim lofts and picks out mid-off. Taskin bends down and snaffles an easy catch. Nasim needed to hit it over the man but couldn't get the elevation. Saad Nasim c Taskin Ahmed b Rubel 22(24) [4s-3]

46.4 - A Sunny to Umar Gul, out Umar Gul Run Out!! Horror running from Umar Gul. He pushed it to the left of cover and set off, then stopped for some strange reason. That gave Shakib time to turn around and fire a throw to Sunny who did the rest. Umar Gul wasn't even in the picture. Yet another waste of a wicket. Umar Gul run out (Shakib/A Sunny) 0(2)

46.0 - Rubel to Riaz, out Caught by Mortaza!! Caught at cover. Pitched up outside off, Riaz lofted it straight to the fielder. Simple catch. Riaz c Mortaza b Rubel 7(8) [4s-1]

43.1 - Mortaza to Fawad Alam, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! Good running catch. Ugly innings from Fawad Alam comes to an end. He never looked settled, this shot to get out is a horrid swipe across the line, the head falls away, the balance is all over the place, the body is contorting in different directions, he connected alright but Nasir running to his left from deep square pulled off a fine catch. Tumbled after taking it. Fawad Alam c Nasir Hossain b Mortaza 4(9)

40.5 - Shakib to Rizwan, out Caught&Bowled!! Lobbed straight back. Tossed up outside off, stopped on Rizwan's shot, who played it early and chipped a dolly back to the bowler. Shakib catches and then breaks out into a beaming smile. Pakistan stumbling in the death overs. Rizwan c and b Shakib 4(6)

39.2 - Mortaza to Sohail, out Caught by Rahim!! Ugly swipe and the top edge goes straight up. Rahim settles under it. Sohail knelt down to heave the slower delivery, but got a big top edge. Both the well-set batsmen are gone and Bangladesh have struck twice in quick succession. Sohail c Rahim b Mortaza 53(58) [4s-1 6s-2]

38.4 - Shakib to Azhar Ali, out Bowled!! 100 and out. Azhar Ali tries to be cheeky and misses the late dab. The ball straightened and hit the top of off after going past the shot. Azhar Ali walks off bat raised to applause from the crowd. Azhar Ali b Shakib 101(112) [4s-10]

21.2 - A Sunny to Hafeez, out Bowled!! Once again Sunny gets Hafeez. This is poor batting from the experienced Hafeez. He charges Sunny and tries to swing to leg, the arm-ball from Sunny and it beats the swipe before falling on the stumps. That looked very ungainly from Hafeez. Another failure for him. Hafeez b A Sunny 4(15)

18.0 - Nasir Hossain to Sami Aslam, out Caught by Rahim!! Nasir Hossain gets the breakthrough. That turned and bounced and looks like a feather, if there is one. Tough to be dead sure with no HotSpot and Snicko. It pitched outside off and gripped, brought Sami Aslam forward and then turned away to take the tiniest of nicks, off the handle to the keeper. Good take by Rahim too and Nasir Hossain pumps his fist in celebration. Given out immediately by the umpire and Sami Aslam didn't review. Sami Aslam c Rahim b Nasir Hossain 45(50) [4s-7]

38.3 - Shakib to Sohail, 1 run, very full on the stumps, Sohail steps out and jams it out to long-on. That is fifty for Sohail

38.0 - Mortaza to Azhar Ali, 2 runs, look at Azhar Ali! He is jumping in joy and punching the air in delight. He does the Sajda too. Gets to his maiden ODI ton with a clip through mid-wicket. Shuffled across and got it in the gap for a couple. After he completed the second, began the celebrations. Gets a hug from Sohail as well. The pressure has been on Azhar Ali but that hasn't affected his batting

20.1 - Shakib to Azhar Ali, 1 run, Azhar Ali gets fifty with a tuck through mid-wicket for a single. No real celebrations

10.0 - A Sunny to Sami Aslam, no run, fired down leg, Sami Aslam sweeps and misses. The ball seemed to have missed the glove after the batsman completed the sweep. Not out for lbw as well as it had pitched outside leg. So Bangladesh lose their only review. Good catch by Tamim, going back and diving acrobatically to take it at leg gully. All that came to nothing as the on-field call stood

39.3 - Junaid Khan to Rahim, FOUR, Pakistan have been Banglawashed! All over! Down leg, Rahim had to get bat on it and just did that, glancing it down to fine leg, beating short fine inside the ring. Rahim lets out a mighty roar after hitting the winning runs. He has his hands aloft in joy and hugs Soumya Sarkar

39.2 - Junaid Khan to Rahim, no ball, FOUR, did Rahim hear the no-ball call? It doesn't matter now as Rahim charges Junaid Khan and smashes it straight back over the bowler's head. Connected well and now it will be a free-hit

37.3 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, now one bounce over the ropes and a four to deep mid-wicket. Slower short ball outside off, Soumya Sarkar was waiting on the back foot and hammered the pull beating two fielders on the leg-side boundary

37.2 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, that has been rifled past the left-hand of Umar Gul. Full on the stumps, Soumya Sarkar shows the full face of the bat and drills it in the air over the bowler. That went away very quickly to the fence

35.1 - Umar Gul to Rahim, FOUR, the runs keep flowing. Short and wide outside off, Rahim cuts in the air and wide of backward point's left. Third man can't get across in time

34.3 - Babar to Rahim, FOUR, that has been given as runs. Drifting down leg, Rahim looked like he had missed it. Deflected off the thigh pad I suppose and races away to the fence. Umpire gives it as runs though

32.2 - Babar to Rahim, FOUR, Rahim uses his feet and smashes the drive to deep extra cover, hit all along the ground and hits the gap

31.4 - Riaz to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Soumya Sarkar is taking on every bowler and is putting them to the sword. On a back of a length on off, he is quick to rock back and muscles the pull over mid-wicket. Moves to 94

30.0 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, take that Junaid Khan says Soumya Sarkar. Charges the bowler and hits it over his head. Much more of a clean strike that and a couple of bounces before it races away to the ropes

29.5 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Soumya Sarkar swings over mid-on and gets a boundary. On a length and outside off, Soumya Sarkar wants to finish it off quickly. That was cross-batted but got enough elevation to clear mid-on

29.3 - Junaid Khan to Rahim, FOUR, that has raced away to third man, good length outside off, Rahim opens the face of the bat and steers very late past the lone slip, raced across the turf, third man ran across and didn't dive

27.4 - Junaid Khan to Mahmudullah, FOUR, Mahmudullah puts away the free-hit to the deep mid-wicket fence. Very full on the stumps, Mahmudullah cleared his front leg and then hoicked it over mid-wicket. One bounce and over the ropes. Sweetly struck

25.1 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, very poor from Junaid Khan and Soumya Sarkar puts him away. Short and down leg, sat up to be hit and Soumya Sarkar pulls hard to the deep backward square leg fence. It didn't bounce high to trouble Sarkar

24.4 - Babar to Tamim, FOUR, whatever Soumya Sarkar can do, Tamim says he can emulate him. He does just that with a reverse sweep, gloving it wide of the short third fielder, Gul gave chase but he was beaten to the ball

24.1 - Babar to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Soumya Sarkar shows off his wide array of strokes. Sees the tossed up delivery outside off and reverse sweeps wide of backward point. Played all along the ground and gets it in the gap. Superbly executed

22.3 - Babar to Tamim, FOUR, now Tamim is looking to entertain. Skips out and slices the lofted hit over mid-off. Got it over the man and it's an easy boundary. He is making batting look easy at the moment

22.1 - Babar to Tamim, FOUR, 50 for Tamim. After two tons in the series. Spinning down leg, Tamim got a feather on the sweep and gets it fine, runs away to the fence. The crowd clear their throats

18.4 - Babar to Tamim, FOUR, that is put away. Takes it on the full and reverse sweeps it past the diving point, to the left of the man and once he beat the fielder it was a boundary

13.1 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, that is a magnificent shot. On a good length and outside off, Soumya Sarkar plays a tremendous front foot slash, all along the ground and beats point to his right. No chance for third man to his left. That sped along the turf very quickly

12.1 - Riaz to Tamim, FOUR, cracking cut shot. Fraction short outside off, Tamim got on top of the bounce and slashed it up and over point. Almost went all the way, one bounce over the ropes. That time Tamim relied on timing and played a crisp stroke

11.4 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, FOUR, poor delivery and Tamim won't miss out. Full toss on the stumps, flicked away behind square, beats deep backward square running across. Raced across the turf

9.5 - Umar Gul to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim controlled that really well. Off-speed delivery from Umar Gul, on the stumps, Tamim half-pulled it to the right of short fine and got it wide of the fielder, once it beat the fielder, it was a boundary

8.1 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Hafeez smiles and he knows that was a poor stroke. Soumya Sarkar used his feet and heaved, but got a thick inside edge through square leg, the ball has enough legs to reach the fence

6.0 - Umar Gul to Tamim, FOUR, lovely shot, too short from Gul, bangs it halfway down the pitch, Tamim swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket, a couple of bounces and over the ropes

3.2 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, this is even better! Fraction too short from Gul, Sarkar swivels across, uses his bottom hand to good effect and pulls it wide of mid-wicket for consecutive boundaries

3.1 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, that's nicely played by Sarkar, picked up the length early, gets underneath the delivery and hoicks it over mid-wicket for a boundary

1.1 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, inside edge and four, Sarkar gets lucky, this was tad fuller and held its line outside off, drew Sarkar into the drive, the inside edge is found and the ball races away to the fence

0.2 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, he's used the pace on the ball and that's a fine little dab for four. Well played Soumya Sarkar, he's off the mark first ball. Flatter delivery outside off stump, Sarkar guides it past the man at slip to the third man boundary

37.4 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, Soumya Sarkar is in overdrive now. He comes down the track and sends the length ball from Umar Gul soaring into the stands at deep mid-wicket. Soumya Sarkar gave it plenty and it carried way back. Umar Gul just stood there and grimaced. This is exceptional batting from the young Sarkar. He is toying with one of the best death bowlers in the world

36.5 - Babar to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, all the fielders are in on the off-side, Soumya Sarkar goes over mid-off. Uses his feet and then whips the loft over the infield. Just about carries all the way. Soumya Sarkar and Rahim punch gloves. Soumya Sarkar has a big smile on his face

34.0 - Azhar Ali to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, Soumya Sarkar is all smiles as he brings up his maiden ODI ton. Dragged down short from Azhar Ali, a gift and Soumya Sarkar latches on. Rocks back and pulls over deep mid-wicket. Had to clear the fielder and did so. Knew as soon as he hit it that it was his moment. Swings the bat wildly in celebration. Takes the helmet off and has a word with Rahim

23.4 - Junaid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, Soumya Sarkar is making the crowd go mad with his daredevilry batting. Charges Junaid Khan and then slogs the pacer over long-on. More of a pre-meditated hit that but Soumya Sarkar emerged victor

21.4 - Hafeez to Tamim, SIX, now Tamim gives Hafeez the treatment. Comes down and hits it inside out over cover. Got to the pitch and timed it really well, all the way over the ropes. Tamim moves to 47 with that meaty blow

21.2 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, Soumya Sarkar breaks the shackles with a big hit. Charges Hafeez and swings across the line over deep mid-wicket. Went miles back as Soumya Sarkar connected really well with the shot

9.0 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, that is a clean strike. Very full from Hafeez and Soumya Sarkar got under that nicely. Lifted it flat and over the ropes at long-on. Went all the way

27.5 - Junaid Khan to Mahmudullah, out Bowled!! Good comeback by Junaid Khan. He bowls Mahmudullah out. Pitched up on off, went through the shot of Mahmudullah who was aiming for a drive on the rise. The ball sneaks between bat and pad to hit the top of off. Junaid Khan exults. Mahmudullah b Junaid Khan 4(10) [4s-1]

25.3 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, out Lbw!! Nips back in and beats Tamim's attempted dab to third man. Was too close to be playing that and Tamim pays for his cheekiness. It struck him in line and the original decision will stand. Hitting the stumps as the replays showed. Tamim lbw b Junaid Khan 64(76) [4s-8 6s-1]

36.0 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, straight in and straight out. That is a sitter and Junaid has dropped it at deep mid-wicket. Short on the stumps, Soumya Sarkar pulls and Junaid after getting both hands shells it. Nothing going right for Pakistan

21.0 - Babar to Tamim, no run, definite dropped catch. Tamim lunging out to flick and getting an inside edge, it looped to short leg who leapt and couldn't hold on, despite getting both hands. The fielder tried his best but the ball eluded him. Pakistan needed that

17.1 - Hafeez to Soumya Sarkar, no run, was that dropped? Hafeez is not happy. Oh yes! That was an outside edge. Flighted delivery on the off stump, Sarkar looks to defend off the front foot, gets an edge but the keeper spills the ball

23.2 - Junaid Khan to Tamim, no run, good length on off, Tamim gets forward and defends solidly to cover. What do we have here? Pakistan reckon that it was pad first and review for an lbw. It wasn't a big appeal as well from Pakistan. Impact - umpire's call and Tamim will stay. Pakistan waste a review. That is sheer desperation as Pakistan look for an elusive breakthrough

18.3 - Babar to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, 50 for Soumya Sarkar. He turns this flighted delivery wide of mid-wicket for a quick single. A raise of the bat after reaching the landmark

7.2 - Umar Gul to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, a direct hit from Azhar Ali at mid-off and Soumya Sarkar would've been walking back. But he misses despite having all three stumps to aim at. Driven without any timing to the left of mid-off and Soumya Sarkar set off. Didn't dive and was lucky that the throw missed
