How T20 cricket can change in a matter of few overs! New Zealand were reeling at 55 for 3 at the end of the first half. And in the last 10, they have blitzed 139 runs. It all started of with four successive overs of 12 runs each, followed by a 22-run Mashrafe over. From there on, there was no looking back. Kane Williamson brought out a side of his batting that is not known, as he too slogged and swung at a few in a manner that is not characteristic of him. But what an innings from Corey Anderson. In the 41 balls he faced, he hit 10 sixes - a New Zealand record for the number of sixes in a T20I innings - which is a six every four balls. Bangladesh made things worse for themselves with poor fielding. Mashrafe did not enjoy the best of days as a captain as his rotation of bowlers left a few questions to be asked. At the end of it, they are left with 195 to chase down. That's a mountain to scale and on a slow surface, it will need some extraordinary batting. Join us in a bit for the chase.

Hamish: "Aside from Williamson's ever changing opening partner, everyone in the NZ top 6 has turned up at least once in this series. Good to see. "

Taskin Ahmed to Anderson, 2 runs, low full toss outside off, drilled down to long-on and they charge back for the second. The throw goes to the non-striker's end and then to the keeper's end but Anderson has made it back. Good running

Taskin Ahmed to Anderson, SIX, slower length ball, 102.6kph, Anderson waits for it to come on and pulls it away over long-on. That's a ridiculous shot. Into the wind and incredible power as it goes clean over the region

Taskin Ahmed to Anderson, 1 run, short slower ball, gets the timing horribly wrong as he tries to pull it away and the ball lands in front of long-off who comes running in
19.1

Taskin Ahmed to Anderson, SIX, too full, too straight and launched straight down the ground. Powerfully struck and the ball soars into the sky. That's Anderson's ninth six and he now holds the record for the most sixes in a T20I innings for New Zealand

Taskin Ahmed to Anderson, 1 wide, goodness. Anderson backed away a long way down leg stump and the bowler, in a bid to compensate, fires it wide but very wide outside off. Easy call for wide

Colin de Grandhomme is the new man in. Can he slog a few and entertain the crowd?

Rubel Hossain to Williamson, OUT, cleans him up with a full toss. Williamson shuffles across a long way and exposes all three stumps. Tries to sweep it away but Rubel angled that into leg-stump. He misses and Rubel hits as the ball crashes into leg-stump

KS Williamson b Rubel Hossain 60 (88m 57b 6x4 1x6) SR: 105.26

  • Soumya Sarkar1-0-21-0

Gourav: "Hate to admit but Mortaza isnt cut out for the T20 fotmat. His bowling hasn't ever been up to scratch with the format and his captaincy has dwindled a lot, just look at his ridiculous move by putting Sarkar on. From a winning position to a losing position."

Mosaddek Hossain to Anderson, SIX, drifts in to the batsman with the arm and Anderson comes charging down before lofting it straight over the bowler's head. Six to end the over

Mosaddek Hossain to Williamson, 4 leg byes, gets down to slog this ball and misses it altogether. The ball goes off the thigh guard and down to the third man boundary. It is pulled back before the boundary but the fielder's knee seems to have brushed the rope as he was pulling it back

Mosaddek Hossain to Anderson, 1 run, short ball, down leg, flat-batted to long-on

Seems like Mashrafe is off the field. Mosaddek Hossain will complete the over.

Mashrafe Mortaza to Anderson, 2 runs, full toss, drilled hard straight down the ground. It hits Mashrafe hard as he puts his hand out on the follow-through The ball deflects to long-off but seems like Mashrafe has hurt his hand here. Gets some attention from the physio

Mashrafe Mortaza to Williamson, 1 run, dropped. Mashrafe the bowler again and this time it's Tamim the fielder at deep backward square leg. Williamson moved across the stumps and got down before whipping it uppishly and Tamim puts it down as he moves to his left

Soumya Sarkar to Anderson, 2 runs, low full toss outside off, tries to slog but does not get hold of it and gets it wide of long-on

walrus: "What on earth is going on? Why is a part-timer who bowls at 125 clicks at best doing bowling in the 17th over against a guy who's on 60 and the other on 40? That's just suicidal from the BD captain."

16.4

Soumya Sarkar to Anderson, SIX, poor bowling. Half-volley again outside off - make that three in three - and all Anderson has to do is put bat to ball on the flick shot. There is enough pace on the delivery for the ball to carry well over the deep square leg boundary as it soars up after Anderson's blade makes good connection
16.3

Soumya Sarkar to Anderson, SIX, it's a wide one outside off and Anderson again has to fetch the slog from outside off. But the timing is so impeccable and this time he lofts it clean over deep midwicket. And that's the fifty for Anderson
