Tasmeem: "One thing hasn't changed for Bangladesh over the years. And that is closing out opposition innings on a high. Always struggle to get the last few wickets and leak runs. It's gonna be a tricky chase. "

MahneelMusa: "Great spirit by Bangladesh to stop and acknowledge pure brilliance from Hetmyer, thoroughly deserved. But hope people who bash Bangladesh for their alleged lack of spirit are watching this."

jameson: "Any demons in the pitch that could stop BD from being able to chase this total? I don't think BD let this match go, I think Rubel did. So fresh from the memories of his poor match-losing over in the Nidahas final. Poor from an experienced bowler." -- That 22-run over notwithstanding, I thought he was largely decent. It can happen to anyone in cricket.

6.15pm Bangladesh controlled this innings for the first 30 overs, courtesy their spinners, and then let this slip. That they're chasing 272 for a series win is down to a magnificent second ODI century from a 20-year old - Shimron Hetmyer - whose name we will hear of for a long time to come. The manner in he maneuvered the field and played to the situation along with the lower middle order a stand out. Towards the death, his improvisation and clean ball-striking stood out. All in all, it bodes well for West Indies, who have been looking to fill the top order gaps.

As good as Hetmyer was, the rescue act wouldn't have been possible without the century stand with Rovman Powell. On a slow pitch Bishoo has the experience of bowling on - he is from Guyana - West Indies should be confident of defending this to take the series into the decider. Can they do it? We'll find out in a few hours. Join Akshay in 30 minutes for the chase. You don't want to miss it.

Mustafizur Rahman to Hetmyer, 1 run, OUT, backs away and drills this full delivery to deep point, risky second that he was always struggling to complete. The throw is superb, and Mushfiqur doesn't take much time to whip the bails off. Just short of the crease.

Rubel Hossain to Hetmyer, (no ball) 2 runs, high full toss, swung across the line to long-on, where there's a misfield so they take two. Called no-ball for height. Hetmyer will now get a free hit. Bangladesh are letting this slip bigtime after controlling the innings

Rubel Hossain to Hetmyer, SIX, takes a step across and then wallops this short ball behind square. The step across may have been to throw the bowler off guard, but he would've hit it even if he didn't take it. Clean striking right out of the top drawer.

Rubel Hossain to Hetmyer, SIX, how far has he hit this? Very, far. Another super connection to this swing acoss the line to a short of length delivery. Stand and deliver. This is simply incredible, we're seeing the coming of age of someone who we will hear of for a long, long time hopefully.

Mustafizur Rahman to Bishoo, OUT, chopped on! There's a real danger now that Hetmyer will be left high and dry. Looks to ease this with an angled bat, very lazy, very late on the stroke and gone.
