- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.2 taken at long-on. End of a splendid innings. He knew it was over as soon as he made contact, as soon as he realised he was too close to the pitch of this flighted ball just outside off stump. Doesn't have the leverage to get under it properly. Might have tried to lace it through cover, along the ground, instead went down on one knee to slog and ends up caught by Greaves 176/128.1 taken at deep midwicket. And Sarkar buckles over in disappointment. Just stands there, broken for several long, agonising seconds, while West Indies all celebrate. Loopy delivery outside off, baiting him into the big shot, he takes it on and doesn't connect well enough. He knows he hasn't connected well enoug because immediately he drops the bat and puts his head in his hands. Straightforward catch to Auguste. Sarkar doesn't get his hundred and he feels that pain, hands going up to his head, face arranged in a grimace. Still, 91 runs on a turning pitch is nothing to scoff at. Good stuff from the often maligned Bangladesh opener. 181/239.5 Catching drill for Rutherford! Tossed up slot delivery on middle-leg, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep. Hridoy did not time it well enough to clear the ropes; neither found the gap. He just struck it straight into the hands of the deep mid wicket fielder near the ropes. Rutherford had to move a few steps to his right to pouch the catch safely. 231/343.3 Alick Athanaze has taken a worldie! Flighted length ball around the off stump line, goes for the big slog sweep against the turn and miscues the stroke towards the vacant straight of mid-off area. Athanaze immediately turned and sprinted back, chasing the ball's trajectory. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he launched a fully stretched, desperate dive while running backwards and somehow gobbled up the catch! 252/445.1 Cleaned him up! Change of the bat didn't do any good for Ankon; he goes for the big hoick over the midwicket area, misses the fuller length ball on middle-leg, turns in, and shatters the furniture! 259/545.4 No Rishad storm today; Hosein strikes! Shortish length ball with a sharp turn away from the batter, pitching on middle-leg and turning away, hangs back and clears the front leg. Rishad attempts to swing it away over the cow corner region and, in the end, hits it straight into the hands of the sweeper fielder there, who is standing a few yards inside. 260/645.6 Third scalp for Hosein! Looped up delivery around the sixth stump line, makes good connection with the sweet part of the bat. But Nasum did not get enough power to clear the ropes, just got the elevation there. Auguste makes no mistake in long on to complete the catch. 261/749.6 Tossed up ball in the slot, again. Another mistimed big heave from Miraz, this time sends it flying towards long off. Ackeem Auguste comes forward sprinting in and completes the catch. 296/8Extras10 (b 2, lb 3, w 5)TOTAL296/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.92)Fall of wickets: 1-176 (Saif Hassan, 25.2 ov), 2-181 (Soumya Sarkar, 28.1 ov), 3-231 (Towhid Hridoy, 39.5 ov), 4-252 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 43.3 ov), 5-259 (Mahidul Islam Ankon, 45.1 ov), 6-260 (Rishad Hossain, 45.4 ov), 7-261 (Nasum Ahmed, 45.6 ov), 8-296 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Third LBW dismissal for Athanaze in this series! Length ball turning in after pitching on the probing channel, goes for the paddle sweep and fails to connect, misses the line of the ball and hits the front pad, and loses his shape. An enthusiastic loud appeal, and the umpire is convinced. Athanaze, this time, decides not to review the decision. 16/18.2 clipped the off stump! Length ball with the arm on the off stump line, kept a bit low, King attempts to play the square cut again, but this time he was cramped for space, does not connect, and breaks the timber! 35/36.2 length ball on the leg stump line, plays the paddle, and does not connect. A half-hearted appeal is turned down by the umpire. Nasum and Nurul managed to convince the skipper, and he sent it upstairs. Ultra Edge is coming up; no bat is involved. Ball tracking confirmed all three reds and hitting the leg stump. Nasum gets his second wicket! 28/221.2 taken at cover point. The cut shot is on because the length is short. But this ball bit into the wicket and came off a little slower than Carty expects. It also bounced a little higher. He realises all this in the middle of playing his shot and though he tries to take a little care and check it to avoid catastrophe, all it does is hasten it. Another simple catch, another wicket down 67/713.1 Tanvir gets the big fish! Generously flighted length ball on the stumps with a hint of turn, leans forward and plays the slog sweep against the turn, mishits the stroke and connects the leading edge to backward point for a straightforward catch 46/418.1 You can't keep Rishad Hossain out of the game! Tossed up fuller length ball on the off stump channel, played through the line of the ball and struck the inside part of the bat as the bat face rotated, chipping to short midwicket and Miraz held on to it. 63/518.4 oooh he's mis-hit a full toss and he's gone. Well, that's about as bad as it can go for West Indies. They made poor use of the pitch in the first innings. Now even without the ball hitting it, they're losing wickets. Chase looked to smash it out of the park, but it seems he was surprised by the sudden lack of discipline from Rishad. So in expecting a better ball, he ends up not clocking a bad one and those precious microseconds he had wasted lead to him being a little slow on the slog. Simple catch to Nasum at mid-on 63/628.4 smart work behind the stumps. These kinds of pitches aren't just a challenge to the batter and here Nurul is up to the task as a ball pitching in line with the stumps turns sharply again. Greaves is blinding the wicketkeeper as he tries to flick the ball. Only manages a feather. Nurul has moved well, across to his left and keeps his hands low to make a very good catch. More than earned his match fee there 97/925.3 pinned in front with the bat struggling to come down to protect his pad. Ripper of a ball from Rishad. The trickery is in the trajectory. It's flat, so Motie thinks he can stay back. But the length is fairly full. And once it pitches just outside off, it rags in to hit him on the pads well before he can do anything with his bat and is plumb in front 82/830.1 that's the series for Bangladesh. The captain takes the final wicket. Handshakes in the dugout. West Indies have been beaten 2-1 with Hosein the last man to fall, caught in his crease against a flat but full delivery that turns right past his defensive bat to knock back his off stump 117/10Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL117 all out (30.1 Overs, RR: 3.87)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Alick Athanaze, 4.4 ov), 2-28 (Ackeem Auguste, 6.2 ov), 3-35 (Brandon King, 8.2 ov), 4-46 (Shai Hope, 13.1 ov), 5-63 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.1 ov), 6-63 (Roston Chase, 18.4 ov), 7-67 (Keacy Carty, 21.2 ov), 8-82 (Gudakesh Motie, 25.3 ov), 9-97 (Justin Greaves, 28.4 ov), 10-117 (Akeal Hosein, 30.1 ov)
