- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 knocks him over! This is fired in on a length on off. Tanzid, like he has done all over, sits back, hoping to manufacture something. Swipes across the line but the ball skids on just enough to go past the bat and smash into off stump. It was another arm-ball and Tanzid was done in by the length and the trajectory. Early success for Hosein, yet again! 15/114.6 does him all ends up! Another slower ball, pitching on a length on off and then continuing in with the angle. Soumya has no clue about it and is a week early into the stroke. Only swishes at thin air and hears the death rattle soon after. McCoy has a wicket, and the crowd, unsurprisingly, make a cacophony of noise! 96/52.4 no, Litton cannot change his luck! Gone first-ball and Hosein is on a roll! Floated up full outside off and Litton seems to be beaten in the air. Does not get right to the pitch, meaning he has to stretch out in front. The ball might have also stopped a little and Hosein picks up the easiest return catch he will probably ever get. Bangladesh rocked twice in quick succession! 15/25.4 straight to short third! This is a plan coming together. Chase started the over with a slip and no short third, before reverting to it mid-way. Floated this up full outside off, enticing the reverse and Afif, who could not keep it down, helped it towards Hosein, who got down on his knee, got his hands low enough and snaffled up the chance. West Indies have three in the powerplay! 30/312.4 in the air again, but this time, taken on the fence! Or is it? Bowled full and wide, designed to keep it away from Jaker's arc. He moves across his stumps to get to it and then muscles it towards Powell at long on. He takes the catch and then realizes he is going over. Flicks it back into play and then returns to complete the catch. Superb game-awareness, and West Indies break a threatening-looking partnership! 87/419.5 miscued and Shamim perishes after a sprightly cameo! Seems like another slower ball that dips and drops on a full length just outside off. Shamim is too early into his swipe and only gets the height he wants. Charles settles under it at deep mid wicket and completes the catch! 145/6Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL147/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Tanzid Hasan, 2.3 ov), 2-15 (Litton Das, 2.4 ov), 3-30 (Afif Hossain, 5.4 ov), 4-87 (Jaker Ali, 12.4 ov), 5-96 (Soumya Sarkar, 14.6 ov), 6-145 (Shamim Hossain, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Taskin among the wickets straightaway! Full delivery on middle and leg and this seems to leave the batter late. King wants to work this to leg but the away movement means he skews it up off the leading edge. Tanzid tracks it all the way, running back from mid off, and clings on to hand Bangladesh the perfect start! 1/14.5 finds the fielder this time! It is all happening here! Darted in shorter at the stumps and this seems to spin back into Charles. He does not have as much room to work with and ends up scuffing it. Arrows it straight to Hasan Mahmud at mid off, and Charles is livid with himself as he walks off! 33/32.2 stumped by a country mile! Fired in on a length outside off. Pooran charges down the track without really picking the length, and has an agricultural swipe across the line. Misses it completely and Litton does the rest behind the stumps. It was an arm-ball, and Pooran has to trudge off! 2/26.5 another huge appeal, but the umpire is unmoved! Bangladesh go upstairs! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and off. Chase looks to play the reverse but gets himself into an awkward tangle. The ball seems to pop up off the arm guard. But hang on...the ball might have actually come off the glove after the initial ricochet. Yes, that is exactly the case. A clear deflection off the thumb before the ball nestled into Litton's gloves. Chase starts walking off as soon as the first replay comes up and Bangladesh get a review right as well. When it starts happening for you, everything starts happening for you! 38/56.3 is there a nick?! Yes, there is! Mahedi has three, and West Indies sink further into trouble! Speared in full outside off and this seems to just hold its line. And that is enough to get the better of Fletcher, who wafted at it away from his body. A faint tickle through to Litton, and Bangladesh are right on top now! 37/419.3 edged and gone! Hasan Mahmud works his magic, and you can hear a pin drop at the Arnos Vale Ground! Mahmud sticks to his guns and hangs it up on a full length wide outside off. It is beyond the tramlines but Powell has to go chasing after it. Gets a healthy nick and Litton gobbles up the chance. Is that the game?! 139/910.3 nicked and gone! And that will make Tanzim feel better! Back of a length, angling across the batter outside off. Motie goes fishing at it without any conviction and feathers it through to Litton. A really soft dismissal, and West Indies are now six down! 58/611.4 launched into the air, but straight into Shamim's hands at deep mid wicket! Rishad throws up the bait on off and Hosein takes it. Looks for the slog-sweep but makes a complete hash of it. Lots of height but no distance and Shamim does the rest, well inside the fence. West Indies staring down the barrel now! 61/717.1 Taskin breaks the partnership! Has this game turned again?! Dug into the track outside off. Right into Shepherd's arc and he gets a decent chunk of it too. The only problem, though, is that he hits it straight down Rishad's throat at deep mid wicket. Shepherd cannot believe what he has done, but he has to walk back! 128/819.5 Hasan Mahmud knocks over middle stump and Bangladesh win a thriller in Kingstown! Hard length, pitching outside off and slanting in. Joseph has to go after it and does so without any inhibition. Loses his shape, though, and soon after, loses his middle stump. Hasan Mahmud a picture of calm amidst the chaos elsewhere, and that epitomizes what has gotten Bangladesh through this contest. No over-the-top celebrations from Bangladesh in general, even though they will be quite pleased with their handling of pressure. The crowd are stunned, Powell is dejected, and West Indies now have to come from behind in this series! 140/10Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, w 10)TOTAL140 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Brandon King, 1.1 ov), 2-2 (Nicholas Pooran, 2.2 ov), 3-33 (Johnson Charles, 4.5 ov), 4-37 (Andre Fletcher, 6.3 ov), 5-38 (Roston Chase, 6.5 ov), 6-58 (Gudakesh Motie, 10.3 ov), 7-61 (Akeal Hosein, 11.4 ov), 8-128 (Romario Shepherd, 17.1 ov), 9-139 (Rovman Powell, 19.3 ov), 10-140 (Alzarri Joseph, 19.5 ov)
