END OF OVER:
50 | 22 Runs 1 Wkt | BAN: 297/6 | RR: 5.94

  • Mahmudullah64 (43b)
  • Mohammad Saifuddin5 (2b)
  • Keon Harding10-0-88-0
  • Raymon Reifer10-0-61-2

3.47 pm Not long from the restart now. Let's see how West Indies approach this. They will need to keep some wickets in hand for the later overs, which might dictate their early approach. In both matches before, they have lost far too many early on. Saifuddin has the ball for the first over, and Ottley will face him, with Ambris at the non-striker's end. Two slips in place

3.20 pm So fifties from the big names -- ironically Tamim, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah all finishing with the joint highest of 64 -- propel Bangladesh to comfortably the highest total of this series. 298 on this track will take some chasing, but Jason Mohammed and company will take some heart from the fact that this wicket has played much better than any of the two matches in Dhaka.

This is also just the third time in ODIs that four Bangladesh players have crossed 50 in the same innings. Keon Harding also has the dubious distinction of the most runs conceded on ODI debut for a West Indian, and also the third-most of all time! We will return shortly with the chase

49.6
2
Harding to Mahmudullah, 2 runs, length, around off, driven down the ground, and they pick up two before mid off can fetch that

Oh dear, he also oversteps. Free hit coming up next

49.6
7nb
Harding to Mahmudullah, (no ball) SIX, slaps this down the ground, and clears long on! It's nothing more than a length ball, perhaps a bit off pace, and it allows Mahmudullah to clear his leg and swing down the ground
49.5
1
Harding to Mohammad Saifuddin, 1 run, length, slapped away across the line towards deep midwicket
49.4
4
Harding to Mohammad Saifuddin, FOUR, length, and he just stands up tall and whips this off his feet. Not sure if he intends to get this as square as he eventually does, but ends up finding the deep backward square leg fence with ease

Sajid: "Don't forget my prediction of 300!"

49.3
W
Harding to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, OUT, full toss, way outside off, and he carves this towards deep backward point. Good throw from Akeal Hosein from the deep, as they chance a second. Finds him short of his ground at the striker's end

Soumya Sarkar run out 7 (16m 8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 87.50

49.2
1
Harding to Mahmudullah, 1 run, shuffles across, and looks to ramp this down the leg side. Pops up, but fine leg is back by the fence now. Easy single
49.1
6
Harding to Mahmudullah, SIX, fifty for Mahmudullah, and in some style! Backed away a touch, creating room in the off side. Harding serves up a length ball, on pace, and he can just go inside out

Harding with the final over

END OF OVER:
49 | 6 Runs | BAN: 275/5 | RR: 5.61

  • Mahmudullah49 (39b)
  • Soumya Sarkar6 (7b)
  • Raymon Reifer10-0-61-2
  • Alzarri Joseph10-0-48-2

So Lukman Tuhin's prediction is holding out pretty well. They need 18 to match it exactly!

Six balls. Six singles. Can't ask for much more if you are Jason Mohammed

48.6
1
Reifer to Mahmudullah, 1 run, length, driven to long off
48.5
1
Reifer to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, full, outside off, and crashed hard, but straight towards deep point
48.4
1
Reifer to Mahmudullah, 1 run, fuller, outside off, perhaps following a little shimmy across the crease from Mahmudullah. Guided to third man on the bounce
48.3
1
Reifer to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, full, squirted out to the left of short third man
48.2
1
Reifer to Mahmudullah, 1 run, slower, angles across him, and he drives this uppishly towards deep point
48.1
1
Reifer to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, slow, full around off, and steered just to the left of short third man. Diving stop keeps them down to a single

Bangladesh have scored 72 off the last eight overs. How well will they finish? Here's Reifer

END OF OVER:
48 | 7 Runs | BAN: 269/5 | RR: 5.60

  • Soumya Sarkar3 (4b)
  • Mahmudullah46 (36b)
  • Alzarri Joseph10-0-48-2
  • Raymon Reifer9-0-55-2

Finishes a fine spell from Alzarri Joseph. Asked all the right questions early on, provided some control in the middle overs, and also finished well. Picked up a couple of wickets along the way

47.6
1
Joseph to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, length, steered to third man
47.5
1
Joseph to Mahmudullah, 1 run, length, shuffles across and works it towards deep mid-wicket. Played with soft hands, but they will only pick one for this
47.4
1
Joseph to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, on pace, full and around off, driven towards deep mid-wicket for a single
47.3
0
Joseph to Soumya Sarkar, no run, slower ball, a little wide of off, but not wide enough. Sarkar looks for the cut, but it passes just under the toe-end of his bat
