49.2 - Panyangara to Mahmudullah, FOUR, well played Mahmudullah! This is proving to be a very crucial knock for the home team. He reaches his fifty with a cut behind point, no real celebration though

47.4 - Panyangara to Mahmudullah, FOUR, when there is width on offer, Mortaza takes full toll of it. Panyangara bowls a low full toss and offers a lot of width, Mortaza slashes hard and gets it wide of third man

47.0 - Luke Jongwe to Mortaza, FOUR, Mortaza is playing a cameo here, sinks low and sends this length delivery with a superbly-timed drive through cover

45.2 - Panyangara to Mortaza, FOUR, full and on the pads, Mortaza flicks it off his pads through mid-wicket, once it beat the fielder it was always going to be a boundary

45.1 - Panyangara to Mortaza, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Mortaza drives it through cover and places it well wide of the man at sweeper cover, raced away in a hurry

44.5 - Cremer to Mahmudullah, FOUR, down leg, Mahmudullah clips and places it well wide of the man at short fine leg, he's playing a handy knock here

35.1 - Luke Jongwe to Rahim, FOUR, Luke Jongwe errs in line first ball, sprayed this down leg, Rahim sends it to the fine leg fence with a well-timed flick

34.0 - Luke Jongwe to Rahim, FOUR, short and Rahim had all the time in the world to place the pull wide of deep square leg, no need to run for those

31.5 - S Raza to Rahim, FOUR, good use of the feet from the seasoned campaigner, comes down the track and lifts this flighted delivery over mid-off, no one in the deep meaning it's an easy boundary

29.1 - S Raza to Tamim, FOUR, full and wide of off, Tamim drives hard in the gap between cover and extra cover, that was timed so well such that sweeper had no chance to cut that off

27.2 - S Raza to Tamim, FOUR, short and wide of off, Tamim sits on the back foot and clobbers the cut past a diving cover, fielder got a hand but the timing was too good on the shot

26.3 - Cremer to Kayes, FOUR, flat and on the stumps, Imrul crouches low and places the sweep wide of the fielder at deep square leg

24.1 - Cremer to Kayes, FOUR, the googly from Cremer, Imrul doesn't read it but manages to get the desired result, comes down the track and goes for an agricultural swipe, gets a thick outside edge which flies wide of the keeper

20.4 - Chigumbura to Kayes, FOUR, bouncer again but this isn't a troubling line for Imrul, he top-edges the hook but manages to send it in the gap wide of fine leg

16.4 - Chigumbura to Tamim, FOUR, full and wide, Tamim throws his bat and drives it beautiflly through cover, got it off the middle of the bat and it raced away

10.5 - Chigumbura to Kayes, FOUR, poor fielding this from Zimbabwe. This was full and outside off, Imrul drives hard to the left of mid-off who gets across and allows the ball to sneak through his legs

10.0 - Luke Jongwe to Tamim, FOUR, wow! Brilliant stroke from Tamim. Stays still and punches this back of a length delivery past cover, superb timing and placement on that one

9.2 - Luke Jongwe to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim has seen enough. Dances down the track to this full delivery and sends it rocketing to the fence with an uppish drive over cover

6.0 - Muzarabani to Kayes, FOUR, hit-me ball from Muzarabani, short and plenty of width on offer, Imrul jumps inside the crease and slices the drive over cover, raced away in a jiffy

5.2 - Muzarabani to Tamim, FOUR, superb stroke from Tamim! Smidgen fuller and wider of off, Tamim nonchalantly drives it wide of mid-off, no need to run for those, classy stroke

3.5 - Muzarabani to Kayes, FOUR, on the pads and Imrul takes full toll of it, clips it wide of the man at square leg and picks up his first boundary

2.1 - Panyangara to Tamim, FOUR, short and ample width on offer, Tamim gets across and pulls it over mid-wicket, middled it well and placement is superb on that occasion

41.4 - M Waller to Mahmudullah, SIX, good stroke this from Mahmudullah. Advances and smokes this tossed up high and sailing over long-on fence

27.0 - Cremer to Tamim, SIX, Tamim joins the party too! Gets his first six of the innings with a biff straight down the ground, just stand and admire stuff from the classy opener

25.2 - S Raza to Kayes, SIX, Imrul is getting better, this is his 4th six of the day and it is also the most pleasing stroke of his innings so far. Advances and goes for an inside-out loft over sweeper cover, perfect timing and placement

10.3 - Chigumbura to Kayes, SIX, another mighty stroke from Imrul Kayes, stays deep inside the crease and launches this length delivery high and over the mid-wicket fence, that also marks the 50-run stand between these two

7.4 - Muzarabani to Kayes, SIX, short and asking to be put away, Imrul obliges with a lovely-looking pull stroke over deep square leg, stand and admire stuff

4.4 - Panyangara to Kayes, SIX, Imrul is continuing the good work from the last game. Comes down the track and dispatches this shortish delivery into the mid-wicket stands, brings up the first maximum of the innings

50.0 - Panyangara to Mustafizur Rahman, out Mustafizur Rahman Run Out!! 1 run completed. Here we go again, another run out to wrap Bangladesh's innings. This was full and around off, Rahman drills the drive to the right of long-on and calls for two straightaway. There was never a two there, Raza flings the throw to the keeper who catches Rahman short by a country mile. All too easy in the end. Mustafizur Rahman run out (S Raza/Chakabva) 1(1)

49.5 - Panyangara to A Sunny, out Mahmudullah Run Out!! Easy as you like. Soft, soft dismissal this one. Full and wide of off, Sunny flashes hard and misses, Mahmudullah is keen on the single. Chakabva fires a direct hit and the forward-sprinting Mahmudullah is caught short by a long way. Mahmudullah run out (Chakabva) 52(40) [4s-5 6s-1]

48.0 - Panyangara to Mortaza, out Bowled!! Knocked 'em over. That's the way to bowl in slog overs, full and straight. Mortaza hangs back and goes for a flick, gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps, Panyangara is delighted after consuming the Bangladeshi skipper. Mortaza b Panyangara 16(11) [4s-3]

44.0 - Luke Jongwe to Nasir Hossain, out Caught by Cremer!! Finds the same fielder again and Nasir Hossain has gone for a second-ball duck. Jongwe fired it short and wide, Hossain cuts and picks Cremer to perfection, much simpler catch to the fielder. Nasir Hossain c Cremer b Luke Jongwe 0(2)

43.4 - Luke Jongwe to S Rahman, out Caught by Cremer!! Bangladesh are throwing it away. This was short and outside off, Rahman goes deep inside the crease and cuts hard, ends up offering a simple catch to Cremer at backward point. S Rahman c Cremer b Luke Jongwe 1(3)

42.2 - Cremer to Litton Das, out Caught by (sub)W Masakadza!! Good work by the substitute fielder there. Litton's poor form with the bat continues. This was nicely dished up outside off, Das skips out and drives in the air towards extra cover. Masakadza runs forward and takes a simple catch. Litton Das c (sub)W Masakadza b Cremer 17(22) [4s-1]

37.5 - M Waller to Rahim, out Stumped!! What is happening out there? Looks like stumping is the only mode of dismissal today. Rahim looks for a big hit over long-on, comes down the track and gets beaten by the dip and turn, Chakabva collects and flicks the bails off in a flash. Rahim st Chakabva b M Waller 28(25) [4s-3]

34.2 - Cremer to Tamim, out Stumped!! How often do we see this? Both the openers getting out on 73 and that too in similar fashion. Just that the bowler is different this time. This was shortish and around the channel, late turn to beat Tamim's attempted cut, loses his balance and Chakabva does the rest behind the stumps. Tamim was down the track and by the time he missed the ball he knew he was a goner. Tamim st Chakabva b Cremer 73(98) [4s-7 6s-1]

29.3 - S Raza to Kayes, out Stumped!! Finally a wicket falls. Imrul played a good hand and he will be a happy man. In the previous game he scored 76 and now he departs for 73. Would have liked a hundred but he was being too ambitious here. Comes down the track and fails to meet to the pitch of this flighted delivery, gets beaten by the dip and turn. Chakabva, who fumbled on the first attempt, whips the bails off on the second attempt. Kayes st Chakabva b S Raza 73(95) [4s-6 6s-4]

37.2 - M Waller to Litton Das, 1 run, dropped, how many times have we seen this today? This time it's the skipper and Zimbabwe's woes in the fielding continue, Das skips out and attempts a lofted stroke, Chigu sprints forward but fails to latch on

26.0 - S Raza to Tamim, 1 run, there it is! Fifty for Tamim Iqbal, he gets there with a flick to square leg

23.1 - S Raza to Kayes, 1 run, Imrul brings up the 100-run partnership with a flick through mid-wicket

22.5 - Cremer to Kayes, 1 run, well played Imrul Kayes! Two fifties from two games for him. He clips this shortish ball towards square leg and gets a huge roar from the crowd

37.2 - A Hossain to S Raza, FOUR, short and well wide of off, Raza stays on the back foot and smashes the cut through cover, no need to run for those

35.1 - A Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, full and ample width on offer, Waller flashes hard and gets a thick outside edge, ends up slicing it behind point for a boundary

32.0 - A Sunny to M Waller, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Malcolm Waller. This time he pierces the gap between backward point and cover-point, short and hint of width on offer, Waller camps back and cuts square of the wicket

31.5 - A Sunny to M Waller, FOUR, flat and wide, Waller advances and drives it past cover, raced away in a jiffy

30.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to Sean Williams, FOUR, full and outside off, Williams goes hard on the drive, gets a thick inside edge which dribbles away to the fine leg fence and that will be his fifty, good calm knock under pressure, will he turn the game on for Zimbabwe?

25.1 - A Sunny to Sean Williams, FOUR, good improvisation from Williams. Williams goes for a reverse paddle and places it well wide of the keeper, middled it and got the desired outcome

25.0 - Nasir Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, full and straight, Waller goes down on his knees and sweeps it behind square on the leg-side

22.1 - S Rahman to Chigumbura, FOUR, hit-me ball from Rahman, short and on middle, Chigumbura rocks back and pulls it behind square leg

20.2 - S Rahman to Chigumbura, FOUR, flat and wide of off, Chigumbura stays deep inside the crease and caresses the drive through cover, superb timing and placement on that occasion

18.2 - A Sunny to Chigumbura, FOUR, slower through the air and around middle, Chigumbura skips out looking to send that over mid-wicket, ball takes the inside edge and escapes past the leg-stump, lucky runs these for Zimbabwe

17.1 - A Hossain to Sean Williams, FOUR, that was hit powerfully. Full and straight, Williams drills hard straight down the ground, Al-Amin sticks his hand out and gets a fingertip, ball crashes the stumps at the bowler's end but still raced away, Chigumbura was well in though

16.2 - A Sunny to Sean Williams, FOUR, superb stroke from a classy player. Advances and flays this flighted delivery with an inside-out drive over cover, don't bother running for those

14.5 - Nasir Hossain to Chigumbura, FOUR, short and wide, Chigumbura has enough time to rock back and cut that powerfully through cover

12.1 - Nasir Hossain to Chigumbura, FOUR, shortish and outside off, Chigumbura camps on the back foot and places the cut through cover, timed it well and it raced away in a hurry

11.5 - A Hossain to Chigumbura, FOUR, lifter outside off, Chigumbura has ample time to pick his spot, he pulls it over mid-wicket and wears a wry smile on his face

9.0 - Nasir Hossain to Sean Williams, FOUR, very full and just outside off, Williams goes for the reverse-sweep and makes good connection, places it wide of slip and got the desired result

6.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to C Ervine, FOUR

5.4 - Mortaza to C Ervine, FOUR, good use of the feet from Ervine, advances and slogs this length delivery over mid-on, no one in the deep and it's an easy boundary

2.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Chakabva, FOUR, outside edge found but well short of Tamim at first slip. Pitched on a good length and swung away sharply, Chakabva pokes and outside edge lands well in front of the first slip, who dives forward and fumbles, allowing the ball to go through for a boundary

2.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to Chakabva, FOUR, three fours in three balls for Zimbabwe and this time it's Chakabva in the action. Fullish and on off, Chakabva comes down the track and smacks it straight down the ground

2.0 - Mortaza to C Ervine, FOUR, another one to follow up. This was drifted into the Ervine's pads, he gets across and flicks it behind square on the leg-side

1.5 - Mortaza to C Ervine, FOUR, superb straight drive to get off the mark, this was full and in the slot for Ervine, he clobbers the straight drive past the non-striker and opens his account

0.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to Chibhabha, FOUR, steams in and fires a full ball down leg, that's a gift offered to Chibhabha, he gets off the mark with a gentle clip through short fine leg

39.2 - A Hossain to Luke Jongwe, SIX, there comes the much-needed big hit for Zimbabwe. Skips out and takes the slower delivery on the full to dispatch it over the long-on fence

43.3 - A Sunny to Muzarabani, out Caught&Bowled!! There it is. As many of the Bangladesh fans would say: It's a BANGLAWASH. Arafat Sunny digs the final nail in the coffin meaning Bangladesh win the series 3-0. This was flighted delivery around off, Muzarabani attempts a drive, was early in doing so, ends up offering a dolly to Sunny who accepts it gleefully. Muzarabani c and b A Sunny 0(5)

42.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Panyangara, out Caught&Bowled!! Fifer for Mustafizur Rahman and what a day he is having with the ball. Panyangara is the latest to depart and Bangladesh are just one wicket away from handing a whitewash to the visitors. This is the third time (claiming a fifer) he has done it in 9 games. Coming to the dismissal, this was the off-cutter just outside off, Panyangara is early on the drive, ends up spooning it back to the bowler. The umpires converge and check if it was a bump ball but the replays suggest that was a clean catch. Panyangara c and b Mustafizur Rahman 3(5)

40.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Luke Jongwe, out Caught by S Rahman!! Two in two for Mustafizur and Bangladeshi camp is all smiles. Suprisingly, Jongwe picks the same fielder too. This was the slower delivery from Mustafizur, Jongwe looks to sweep and like Raza he could only manage a top-edge. Sabbir Rahman settles under it at mid-wicket and flings the ball high in the air. Luke Jongwe c S Rahman b Mustafizur Rahman 11(13) [6s-1]

40.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to S Raza, out Caught by S Rahman!! This is a big, big wicket and Zimbabwe's hope of winning this game are slowly diminishing. Raza is not a happy man as he trudgs back to the pavilion. Again it's that change-of-pace that does the trick for Mustafizur and Bangladesh. This was full and straight, Raza gets across and flicks early, thick leading edge spoons to the left of mid-on who dives forward and takes a well-judged catch. S Raza c S Rahman b Mustafizur Rahman 9(12) [4s-1]

36.5 - Mortaza to Sean Williams, out Caught by S Rahman!! Oh no! How often do we see this? Settled batsmen getting out in quick span, first Waller and now Williams. Is this the game for Bangladesh? Mortaza bowls a lifter around off, Williams skips out and goes for a hoick, can only manage a top-edge which is snaffled by Sabbir Rahman at short cover. Sean Williams c S Rahman b Mortaza 64(84) [4s-5]

35.4 - A Hossain to M Waller, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! That's the end of Malcolm Waller and what a good knock he's played. But Sean Williams will remain as the key man as far as the visitors are concerned. This was flatter and outside off, Waller drives softly and it settles nicely in the hands of forward-running Nasir Hossain at cover. Soft, soft dismissal this. M Waller c Nasir Hossain b A Hossain 32(40) [4s-4]

23.0 - S Rahman to Chigumbura, out Bowled!! Rahman gets the breakthrough and it's the key man Chigumbura. Bowls this quicker and straight, Chigumbura stays deep inside the crease aiming for a flick through mid-wicket, misses is completely and gets cleaned up. Chigumbura b S Rahman 45(47) [4s-6]

8.4 - Nasir Hossain to C Ervine, out Lbw!! Nasir picks up wicket in his first over. This was tossed up on middle, Ervine hangs back and looks to block, ball spins in and pings Ervine on the pad in line with middle, he was plumb and umpire had no hesitation in ruling him out. C Ervine lbw b Nasir Hossain 21(25) [4s-4]

6.5 - Mustafizur Rahman to Chakabva, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! Second wicket for Mustafizur Rahman and both the openers are back in the hut now. This was the off-pace delivery on off, Chakabva was completely foxed by it, attempts a lofted drive and ends up chipping it straight to the man at cover. Chakabva c Nasir Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 17(20) [4s-2]

0.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Chibhabha, out Bowled!! First ball four and that will be it for Chibhabha. He is trudging back to the pavilion as Mustafizur Rahman jumps in delight. This was the nip-backer that pitched on a fuller length, Chibhabha was late on the forward defence, ball sneaks through the bat-pad gap and disturbs the timber. Chibhabha b Mustafizur Rahman 4(2) [4s-1]
