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

Powell has dispensed with his helmet, and that's because Mehidy will bowl out now
