Anon06: "Chase, Hetmyer, Dowrich will be key for WI. They can play spin and bat aggressively. I expect the top to fold quickly but if we can get to 75/3, it will be game on."
Morsel Rafez: "Everyone should have played like Mahmudullah in this 2nd innings. Perhaps then the lead would have gone close to 250." -- Easier said than done. He made it look easy while he was there, but it's difficult to bat with footwork so decisive and such a clear head in these conditions.
ParkCricketer: "Given how well Miraz can bat in Tests and having Shakib as well as a genuine bowler puts Bangladesh in a great position to have a great combination for any conditions. Apart from both of them they still can have two spinners and two pacers for home and 3/4 pacers with 1/0 spinner for seaming conditions. But they still manage to pick someone to waste a spot like they did with Mithun. Why can't Mushfiq bat up or Mahmudullah? Isn't he who scored two double-hundreds? "
10.58am Bangladesh have done well to extend their lead past 200. An important knock from Mahmudullah to get them there. Given how much the ball is turning, I'd have Bangladesh as favourites at the moment.

Change in bowling. Roston Chase replaces Warrican. Slip, short leg and leg gully in place for the offspinner. Lots of wide open spaces in the cover/cover point region.
