1:45pm Here we go. Mortaza to Gayle.

1.03pm After controlling the game for 30 overs, West indies lost the plot towards the end to concede more than 150 runs in their last 20 overs. Tamim Iqbal's 11th hundred set the tone for Bangladesh, but it was Mahmudullah's breakneck fifty and Mashrafe's cameo that has taken them to their highest ever ODI score again West Indies. Can the hosts finally win an ODI series? Or will Bangladesh's bowlers manage to defend this total. We'll find out in 30 minutes or so. See you then as the teams break for lunch.

Dr Mohammed Oma: "Well well we've a good competition in the decider."

Lewis: "Copy of the first ODI. Windies giving it away in the final 2-3 overs again, need a good death over specialist badly. "

Rakesh Sampat: "A High Quality innings at the top, 3 solid performances from the Middle order & Small cameos from the lower middle order has made an Imposing total for the Bangladesh. Flawless batting performance and it will need at least 2 top class innings and a middling one form 3 WI batsmen for them to have any chance of overhauling this one tonight"

MahneelMusa: "Another day, another brilliant innings by Mahmudullah. Just how underrated is he, Sreshth? " -- you know my opinion on Mahmudullah. One of the world's best lower-order batsmen in the white-ball format

Cottrell to Mahmudullah, FOUR, glorious late cut! Length ball outside off, and he places this perfectly behind point for a boundary. Massive over
48.5
6
Cottrell to Mahmudullah, SIX, golf ball swing! Full on middle but Mahmudullah comes down the wicket and tonks it over long on. Picks the slower ball early once again

Inteser: "@Soham Basak, not sure if it's unfair. In fact lack of decisive performances from shabbir and mosaddek over the course of their career might actually have been a factor in Mashrafee promoting himself for a cameo. Especially Shabbir's constant failure is difficult pill to swallow given the only reason he gets picked is because he is "supposed to be" a hard hitter."
