2.58pm So another below-par total and unimpressive display from the Bangladesh batting line-up. Their approach and shot selection looked slightly better today, Tamim was more watchful early on; they tried seeing through the opening spells but the swinging ball and some accurate bowling from the quicks troubled Bangladesh again. Bangladesh were lucky the hosts put down four catches - not even one of them very difficult - and missed a run-out chance or two to cross 200 again this time. Mohammad Mithun came to the rescue yet again but the batsmen before him will have to take more responsibility going forward, especially in Shakib's absence. Todd Astle, who came in for Mitchell Santner today, also showed his handy legbreaks, and the occasional flipper that dismissed Mithun. So another modest total to chase, we'll be back in 14 minutes to start that.

Dave: "Henry has been impressive at the top, but for me he still doesn't have the variation to bowl the death overs. It hasn't hurt us this series because Bdesh have been down to the tail so early, but I do think we maybe still need Southee."

Neesham to Mashrafe Mortaza, OUT, Trent Boult with another spectacular diving catch, the series was incomplete without that so far. Mashrafe went across to stick the bat in the ground inside the crease and he tucked the ball behind square but towrards Boult as he leapt to his left and pushed it with both hands

Henry to Mashrafe Mortaza, SIX, too full outside off, Mashrafe sees that it's a slower ball and he goes down on a knee after making a bit of room, adjusting well at the last moment, to smash that over the covers boundary for a clean six
