18.4 - Vitori to Shakib, FOUR, another short delivery and this time Shakib takes full toll of it. Clears his front leg and smashes the pull over mid-wicket, races away to the fence in a jiffy

12.4 - Sean Williams to Rahim, FOUR, the reverse lap from Rahim. he quickly gets into position and sends this flatter delivery to the left of short third man, no need to run for those

8.4 - W Masakadza to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, delicate this time, the ball was a bit short and he late cut it fine to beat the man at short third man, smart cricket from Sarkar

5.3 - Muzarabani to Tamim, FOUR, length delivery and outside off, Tamim creams the drive through cover, do not bother chasing it

4.1 - Neville Madziva to Tamim, FOUR, short and drifting down the leg-side, Tamim helps it on its way to beat short fine leg with ease

3.1 - Muzarabani to Tamim, FOUR, gives charge this time and makes room while doing so, opens up the field on the off-side and cracks it through cover, no one moved

2.3 - Vitori to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, he was not in control of the shot this time, it was a short delivery and he went for the mighty pull, gets a top edge and it goes over the man at short fine leg, back to back boundaries for Sarkar

2.2 - Vitori to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, length delivery and this time Sarkar goes up and over mid-on, swings across the line and connects with it, that one raced away to the fence in no time

15.3 - Cremer to S Rahman, SIX, Rahman is playing really well here. Comes down the track to get to the pitch of the ball, swings his arms and sends it soaring over the long-on fence, that was timed really well

14.3 - W Masakadza to S Rahman, SIX, shortens the length this time, it came with a 'hit me' tag, Rahman obliges and swings hard at it, it sails over the cow corner

5.0 - Neville Madziva to Tamim, SIX, short delivery and it did not rise at all, what made it worse was the fact that it was down the leg side. Tamim pulled it hard and it went between short fine leg and deep backward square leg for a maximum

10.1 - W Masakadza to Mahmudullah, out Caught by Mutumbami!! Mahmudullah doesn't last long for the hosts.

Mahmudullah c Mutumbami b W Masakadza 1(3)

9.4 - Cremer to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by M Waller!! Down the track he comes but does not connect well and he has to go. It was not exactly a tossed up delivery but Sarkar went down the track and slogged, did not quite get to the pitch and hit it straight to the fielder stationed at cow corner. Soumya Sarkar c M Waller b Cremer 43(33) [4s-4 6s-3]

5.5 - Muzarabani to Tamim, out Caught by Vitori!! The first wicket falls and it is the big fish.

Tamim c Vitori b Muzarabani 23(17) [4s-3 6s-1]

15.5 - Cremer to Rahim, 2 runs, Rahman takes a step forward and the bowler shortens his length, Rahim punches it wide of long-on, comes back for the second. Fifty partnership up as well

15.0 - Mortaza to M Waller, FOUR, fuller length delivery just outside off, Waller stays deep, gets right under it and drills it back over the bowler's head, no need to run for those

13.2 - Shakib to M Waller, FOUR, a much-needed boundary for the visitors. Darted on the stumps, Waller gets under it and lofts it through the line, gets it to the left of long-on and it hits the fence in no time

12.1 - Mortaza to M Waller, FOUR, Zimbabwe get a boundary off the free-hit. Just short of a good length and outside off, Waller slashes hard and gets a thick outside edge that flies to the left of short third man, where Al-Amin makes a mess of the stop, allows the ball to go through and it trickles away to the fence

8.4 - S Rahman to Sean Williams, FOUR, Williams starts off with a slog sweep and picks up a boundary, quicker delivery and on middle and leg, Williams went down on his knee and hit it through backward square leg to beat the two man in the deep

5.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Sibanda, FOUR, bad line, on the legs of Sibanda, he tucked it fine to beat the man at short fine leg, easy peasy for Visu

4.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Sibanda, FOUR, up and over, he has hit it nicely, presented the full face of the bat, the ball was a bit fuller and came nicely onto his bat, he just lofted it over the man at mid-off. A couple of bounces and it crosses the fence

3.0 - Al-Amin to H Masakadza, FOUR, long chase for the fielder at mid-on but the ball wins the race, Masakadza presented the full face of the bat to drive this fullish delivery and the ball goes past the bowler and beats the chasing fielder

2.2 - Al-Amin to H Masakadza, FOUR, length delivery on middle and leg, Masakadza swoops low and laps it fine to beat the man at short fine leg, did not quite get it off the middle but got enough to beat the fielder

1.3 - Shakib to H Masakadza, FOUR, he loves slog sweeps, doesn't he? Once again went down on one knee and swung across the line to send it down to deep backward square leg fence

15.2 - Al-Amin to M Waller, SIX, that's been put away over the fence! Was it a little too high? Was definitely high. Full toss at the batsman, Waller swings across the line and sends it soaring over the deep square leg fence. It looked very close to a no-ball but the umpire deems it a legal delivery. Replays show that the ball was above the waist, should have been called a no-ball

6.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Sibanda, SIX, what a shot to finish off the over, a pick up shot, Sibanda saw this back of a length delivery and swung through to hit it over deep backward square leg

2.0 - Shakib to H Masakadza, SIX, Masakadza goes for the slog sweep once again, this time it is a flatter delivery and Masakadza gets it over the deep square leg fence

0.5 - Hom to H Masakadza, SIX, Masakadza is better off playing conventional shots, goes down on one knee on this tossed up delivery and flogs it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

20.0 - S Rahman to Cremer, out Caught&Bowled!! Bangladesh win by 42 runs, make it 2-0! A comprehensive win for the hosts. They now can't lose this 4-match series. You can't keep Sabbir Rahman away from the action either. Comes on and takes a wicket. This was dragged short just outside off, Cremer rocks back to pull, manages a fat top-edge that balloons towards the right of the bowler, who moves across and takes it gleefully. Cremer c and b S Rahman 8(12)

17.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Peter Moor, out Bowled!! Castled! Moor's departure means that Zimbabwe are out of this contest. Brilliant ball from Mustafizur, right in the blockhole and aiming for the base of the stumps. Moor fails to squeeze it out and the ball rattles the stumps. Peter Moor b Mustafizur Rahman 9(14)

16.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Neville Madziva, out Bowled!! Zimbabwe are falling apart here. Madziva, the latest addition to the casualty list. He comes charging down the track and yorks himself, swings hard but the ball sneaks under his bat and crashes into the middle stump. Neville Madziva b Mustafizur Rahman 0(4)

15.3 - Al-Amin to M Waller, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Waller's gone now. Full toss outside off, Waller wanted to go inside-out over extra cover, ends up hitting it a little too straight and the fielder at long-on moves to his left and hangs onto a good catch. M Waller c Soumya Sarkar b Al-Amin 29(21) [4s-3 6s-1]

10.4 - S Rahman to Mutumbami, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Another one bites the dust. The Zimbabweans are finding it hard to find the boundary rope. Mutumbami kneels down to play the slog sweep off this flighted delivery, doesn't get hold of it. Sarkar at deep mid-wicket runs to his right and calmly takes it. Mutumbami c Soumya Sarkar b S Rahman 7(11)

10.0 - Hom to Sean Williams, out Lbw!! Looked close the moment it hit, and the umpire does not waste time to raise his finger. Replays prove me and the umpire wrong. The impact was just outside off as Williams went down to sweep this quicker delivery, missed it and was hit just below the knee roll. Sean Williams lbw b Hom 7(6) [4s-1]

8.2 - S Rahman to H Masakadza, out Caught by Mahmudullah!! It cannot get any bigger for Bangladesh. It's Masakadza. This time it was not a tossed up delivery but Masakadza came down the track and lofted it high, did not time it at all and hit it straight down the throat of long-on. H Masakadza c Mahmudullah b S Rahman 30(28) [4s-3 6s-2]

6.4 - Mortaza to Sibanda, out Bowled!! Dragged that one onto the stumps. The Bangladeshi captain strikes and at the right moment. Slower delivery and on off, Sibanda looks to force it into the off-side from the crease, gets a thick inside edge and it crashes onto the stumps. Zimbabwe lose their first. Sibanda b Mortaza 21(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

4.4 - Mortaza to H Masakadza, no run, Masakadza is living dangerously, swings on this length delivery and it does not carry to the man at mid-wicket, who dived in front to try and catch it

4.1 - Mortaza to H Masakadza, no run, dropped, but a good attempt anyway, short delivery and Masakadza cracked it off the back foot, it went uppishly towards Imrul Kayes at cover, who dived in front, got both the hands to it but the ball popped out as he hit the ground

6.3 - Mortaza to H Masakadza, 1 run, short of a good length delivery, Masakadza whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single
