10.05pm Phew, my fingers need some rest after that shellacking from Allen, Guptill and Mitchell. Must say Bangladesh have been rather poor on the field, putting down as many as five opportunities. Only Shoriful came away with something to take away. The rest were pretty ordinary. Join Vishal on the other side of this break for the chase. Can Bangladesh take something back home or will be another series whitewash for the hosts?

Finn Allen is down for a quick chat to Spark Sports: Felt good, nice to get it out of the middle to get us to a competitive score. I was obviously nervous, playing in front of my home crowd and all, but credit to Guptill for calming me down. It was awesome batting with him, good fun! We wanted to start as if we were having a 20-over match, give us a couple of balls to get in but once we hit a few, we decided every ball has to go. They may have missed a trick by bowling too full, we'll take that on board. It's a good batting wicket, we'll have to bowl really well.

Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell, 1 run, OUT, reaches out to squeeze this Yorker-length delivery to cover, chancing a second in the hope that the fielders are caught napping, sadly not. In comes the throw to the keeper and Mitchell is out.

DJ Mitchell run out 11 (11m 6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 183.33

Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell, 2 runs, pulled to deep midwicket, they will hare back for two

Watch the ball hard, hit the ball hard: the Finn Allen mantra. Here's a recent interview of Allen looking ahead to the IPL as well

Taskin Ahmed to Allen, OUT, top-edges this attempted scoop and an excellent innings comes to an end. Taskin holds his length back by trying a knuckleball, Allen walked across to play the ramp but because there was pace off, got it off a thick edge. But what an innings, what a knock.
