- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 finally a wicket for Zimbabwe! down the track and looks to chip it over mid-off. But Liton doesn't get his timing right and a good tumbling catch to his left by Zhuwao 16/148.4 carved away but he's hold out to sweeper cover. End of a magnificent knock. Looked a tired shot, because he was thrown off balance. They'll check for a no-ball it seems fine. All the Zimbabwe fielders walk up to shake hands with Imrul. He walks off to a standing ovation. What entertainment he's provided. First the rescue, then the thrill. Superb and he deserves all the applause that comes his way. More relief than elation in the Bangladesh camp. 266/75.6 a lifter there from Chatara and Bangladesh lose their second wicket. The debutant departs for a duck as he fends at this one and Taylor takes a one-handed catch, jumping to his left 17/214.6 this is a short ball drifting in towards leg stump, Mushfiqur looks to pull, plays too early and in doing so has got some glove on this. Excellent grab down the leg side by the wicketkeeper, who may have been blinded just a touch. But his balance was superb as he made a swift move to complete the catch. Dharmasena's decision overturned and Bangladesh are wobbling. 66/327.2 and gone! Another good catch by Taylor behind the stumps. It was a length ball, just outside off, Mithun pushes at it but extra bounce once again does the trick, forces an outside edge and a good tumbling catch by Taylor to his right 137/427.6 and given! But Mahmudullah reviews it straightaway. It was a length ball, just around off stump, Mahmudullah pushes at it and the bowler and there is an appeal for caught-behind. Replays confirm there was a spike when the ball passed the bat and Mahmudullah departs for a duck 137/529.3 and another one departs, Mehidy Hasan this time and it's the fifth catch for Brandon Taylor. It was a length ball outside off, Mehidy went for the cut only to edge it behind 139/649.1 full toss, waist-high outside off, and he's hit this straight down the throat of long-off. Got it high on the bat, I thought, and so was denied the kind of timing or power. 267/8Extras17 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 14)TOTAL271/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.42)Did not bat: Nazmul IslamFall of wickets: 1-16 (Litton Das, 5.1 ov), 2-17 (Fazle Mahmud, 5.6 ov), 3-66 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 14.6 ov), 4-137 (Mohammad Mithun, 27.2 ov), 5-137 (Mahmudullah, 27.6 ov), 6-139 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 29.3 ov), 7-266 (Imrul Kayes, 48.4 ov), 8-267 (Mohammad Saifuddin, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.2 poor, poor running. Driven past the diving cover fielder. There was never a second, but they still decided to chance one. Excellent work from the wide long-off fielder who charged in and released the ball in a jiffy at the correct end. The throw to Mushfiqur wasn't all that accurate, but Mushfiqur did well to take it on the full and then lunge towards the stumps and break it airborne. Masakadza was miles short and Zimbabwe have lost a third. Outstanding glovework. Brain freeze from the batsman. Imrul having a dream day, he can do no wrong. 63/37.1 bowled him! Length ball, comes back off the pitch and sneaks in through the gap between the bat and the pad to send the off stump cartwheeling 48/110.4 beauty of a delivery and he brings out the snake dance. Taylor is gone and this is a body blow for Zimbabwe. Lovely, lovely delivery. Got this to drift in from round the stumps, drew Taylor forward but he made the grave mistake of feeling for the delivery without covering the line. Played inside the line as a result and saw the ball deviate just a wee bit to beat the outside edge and crash into the stumps. As a left-arm spinner, you can't bowl a better delivery. Bangladesh are on top with that wicket. Superb from Nazmul, that would've made spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi mighty proud. 59/225.1 bowled him! length ball, Ervine comes forward and pushes at it, the ball turns just a little bit but enough to beat the bat, the sound of timber. Zimbabwe five down for 100 100/520.6 bowls him with a beauty! Bring out the Nagin dance celebrations. It was a tad fuller, Raza played back but the ball turned sharply to beat the outside edge and hit the off stump. A dream delivery for any left-arm bowler 88/435.4 disastrous decision to sweep a full delivery. Plumb in front. This was full, fired dead straight and once he was hit on the pad, only one decision it was going to be. 145/636.3 oh, dear. What on earth was Tiripano doing? Dabs it into the off side, and sets off for a run even though he saw his partner put his hand out to say no. Very good from Mahmud, who swooped in, picked up the ball and took a couple of steps towards the stumps before flicking an underarm throw to catch him short at the striker's end. 148/739.6 sensational return catch diving to his left. This was struck so hard that you feared for Mehedy's fingers, but he instinctively dived, put both his hands out and plucked this out. 169/848.4 swings and misses. He bowled it from even behind the umpire. Oh, wait. No, there was a thin edge as confirmed by snicko. Thinnest of nicks, which means Jarvis has to walk back. 236/9Extras14 (b 3, lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL243/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.86)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Cephas Zhuwao, 7.1 ov), 2-59 (Brendan Taylor, 10.4 ov), 3-63 (Hamilton Masakadza, 12.2 ov), 4-88 (Sikandar Raza, 20.6 ov), 5-100 (Craig Ervine, 25.1 ov), 6-145 (Peter Moor, 35.4 ov), 7-148 (Donald Tiripano, 36.3 ov), 8-169 (Brandon Mavuta, 39.6 ov), 9-236 (Kyle Jarvis, 48.4 ov)
