Best ODI figures for Mehidy, and another masterclass in control and guile from both Mustafizur and Shakib. Hasan Mahmud bowled much better than his figures suggest, and Rubel Hossain is always good with his accuracy. We'll be back soon for what should be an interesting chase if West Indies can strike some early blows. See you soon.

Mehidy speaks to the broadcasters: " I am really happy, because I wasn't happy with the areas I bowled in the first match. I spoke to senior players like Shakib and got some inputs from our spin bowling coach as well. I saw [Rovman] coming, and the wicketkeeeper, captain and Shakib bhai also told me that he was going to look to come forward. The idea was not to concede a six."

2.44 pm Bangladesh have bowled out an opponent for under 150 in successive ODIs for the first time, and their bowlers have delivered yet again

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Powell, OUT, down the wicket, and he misses out. Rahim does the rest! Rovman Powell has looked to be positive right through this over, but Mehidy has read his intentions quite well each time. Drags the length back just a touch, and also gets it to go straight with the arm. Powell has a wild swipe, and then winds up in almost hand-shaking distance with the bowler. Rahim has the easiest of stumpings to make
