Banged short and on off, extracting some bounce, Rishad is hurried on the pull shot and the ball gets big on him. A top edge is found and it drops safely to the right of square leg.

Short of a length and this is pulled away to deep backward square leg for a single.

From around the stumps now. Brad bends his back and shoots in a short ball on top of the stumps, angling in. Taskin drops his head down and lets the ball fly behind to the keeper.

 FOUR! Up and over! Pitched up, full in length, on off, Taskin slices it over backward point and collects a boundary.

Taskin backs away a bit to the leg side and tries to block but the ball sneaks through the narrow gap between the bat and pad, and just whistles over the leg stump on its way to the keeper.

There's the lifter, short outside off, Taskin is happy to let that go.

Excellent athleticism from Ryan Burl! Slightly back of a length, outside off, Taskin chips it over cover-point as the ball speeds to the fence. Burl and Masakadza run after it, and it is Burl, the sub fielder, who gets to the ball first. He puts in a slide to flick the ball and relay it in. The replay shows that his knees crashed on the ropes but by then, he managed to haul the ball in. Two runs taken.

 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Nurul holes out and there goes the last hope for Bangladesh. Brad bowls a length-delivery and angles it onto the hips of the batter. Nurul hops off a bit and plays a half-hearted pull shot without completing the follow-through. As a result, there is no power nor timing on the shot and it sails towards deep backward square leg. It dips on the sub fielder, Tadiwanashe Marumani, but he does extremely well to dive forward while stretching his hands in front to complete the catch. Bangladesh are 129/7, needing 143 runs with just 3 wickets in hand now.

Short of a length, on middle, Islam ducks.

Fuller ball, around off, chipped on the bounce to cover.

 Beaten! Back of a length, outside off, Islam has a waft at it and gets beaten.

OUT! TAKEN! Expensive in his first spell, Brad Evans is making up for it in this one. He has three wickets to his name now. Short and following the batter, who is shuffling across to the leg side. Shoriful never gets into a good position, yet he goes for the pull anyway. The ball climbs higher than it travels, and Bennett, stationed as the sweeper in the deep square leg region, charges in, dives forward and plucks it just inches off the turf. Bangladesh are badly falling apart. They are 129/8.

Bowls it full and angles it onto the pads from around the stumps, Taskin misses the flick and is hit on the front pad. A highly profitable over for Zimbabwe that has sealed the deal for them, almost.

Short of a length, angling in, Nurul tucks it wide of mid-wicket for a single.

Drifting down the leg stump on a good length, Rishad Hossain tries to tuck it across but the ball skids through and strikes his front pad. A slight half an appeal for LBW but turned down.

On a drivable length, on off, Nurul drives it to long off for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Wicket number 2 for Masakadza and his joy knows no bounds. He lands it around off and gets the ball to drift into the batter. But it lands, bounces and spins sharply away off the pitch. Saif is drawn forward and tries to drive it away to the off side, but gets a faint outside edge. Sharp reflexes by Brendan Taylor behind the stumps as he takes a fine catch. A gentle appeal is all required for the umpire to raises his finger. Saif does not review and trudges off. Bangladesh are 123/6, completely on the back foot.

 OUT! LBW! Bangladesh are losing wickets at regular intervals. Wellington drifts the ball into the batter, on a slightly fullish length. Mosaddek Hossain is pinned in the crease as he looks to whip it across but plays all over it and is struck stone-dead in front. A huge appeal goes up and the umpire obliges. However, Mosaddek has opted for a review. UltraEdge shows a flat line and Ball Tracking projects the ball to be kissing the leg stump. Three reds and Mosaddek is gone. Bangladesh are 112/5, in deep trouble now.

A bit short, on off, Towhid Hridoy cuts it to backward point. The fielder dives to his right and makes a good stop. Dot.

OUT! LBW! What a review from Sikandar Raza as he dismisses his opposite number. A bit short, on leg, Towhid Hridoy looks to tuck it but misses and wears it high on his pads as the ball spins back in sharply. A loud appeal for LBW, but turned down. Raza consults with the keeper before sending it upstairs to have a check. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The on-field decision is overturned to OUT. And the Chevrons are charged up to bits. From 47/0, Bangladesh have slipped to 97/4. They still need 175 runs to win.

FOUR! Hridoy is lucky to survive that one. The ball nips back in off a good length, he looks to tuck it across the line, and it thumps into him. Everyone around the bat goes up at once, the bowler, the slips and the keeper, all pleading for the LBW. While they appeal, the ring fielder’s throw from backward point misses its mark and trickles away to the rope to the leg side. Zimbabwe send it upstairs for a review, but UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the inside part of the bat. Not out, and Zimbabwe lose a review, and are left with just one.

Very full on the stumps, Tanzid forces it down to mid on.

 FOUR! That's very casual from Muzarabani. At first look, everyone thought he had it covered as it went at a catchable height. Newman is shocked, Sikandar Raza, stunned. Hands on hips for Blessing. Too short and too wide, and Tanzid needs no invitation. He throws the bat at it and sends it skimming flat and fast towards deep third. Blessing Muzarabani, stationed out there, picks it up late as the floodlights swallow the ball, and by the time he reacts it is already past him and into the boundary. 

OUT! FANTASTIC CATCH! Muzarabani will be the most relieved man out there. Excellent bowling by Newman. He bangs it hard into the pitch, on off, nipping in. That certainly cramps Tanzid for space but he still goes for the cut shot but it is too close to play that kind of a shot. Ends up chipping it towards backward point. Ryan Burl, the sub fielder, dives to scoop the dipping ball inches before the ground. The Chevrons flock together to celebrate a massive wicket as Tanzid was looking too dangerous and unstoppable. Bangladesh are 66/2 in 10 overs, needing 206 runs from 240 balls.

 What a delivery! Muzarabani is using his height to his benefit and is extracting good lift off the track. In the channel on a length, nipping away with a fair bit of bounce. Najmul Hossain Shanto is half-forward to defend but the ball zips past his bat.

Back of a length, on the leg stump, this is steered to deep backward square leg for a single.

Well bowled! This one deviates into the batter, short in length, on top of off. Hasan is cut in half as he looks to block but gets beaten on the inside edge. Tanzid is stunned by the late movement.

Beaten again! Spikes up off a length, outside off and angles away from the batter. Hasan dangles the bat away from his body and gets beaten on the outside edge by a kitten-whisker.

Goes fuller now, around off, Hasan leans on and taps it to cover-point.

Close call! Newman spears it on a fuller length and attacks the pads. Tanzid is rushed on the flick and plays over the wrong line. The ball zips past the inside edge and strikes the front pad. A huge appeal for LBW, but not given. Drifting down leg by the looks of it. Sikandar consults with his bowler and the keeper before going upstairs for a review. Nothing on the UltraEdge. Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is in line of the stumps but the ball is brushing the leg stump on umpire's call. Zimbabwe do not lose the review but do not get the wicket either.

Straight and full, outside off, solidly defended off the front foot to point.

FOUR! Oh, shot! That's pure timing by Tanzid which brings the 50 up for Bangladesh! Very full on the leg stump, drifting onto the pads. Tanzid Hasan rolls his wrists and nails the flick through mid-wicket for a rapid boundary.

Sees the batter charge down the track and shortens the length by bowling in the bodyline to cramp him for space. Tanzid adjusts nicely and fends it to the leg side with soft hands.

A tad full and outside off, Tanzid knocks it to the cover fielder.

Too full and outside off, Hasan leans forward to drive but slices it to the right of backward point. The ball is speeding towards the fence, but Muzarabani sprints from deep third, puts in a slide to his right and makes a fine stop with his hands. Two runs taken.

Beaten! Generates extra bounce off the surface, short and outside off, Sarkar prepares for a square cut over point but gets beaten as the ball nips away.

Swings in from a good length, tight on the stumps, Sarkar tucks it off the inner half to mid-wicket.

 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Sensational catch in the slip. And Zimbabwe have their first breakthrough. Good length, shaping away from the left-hander with bounce. Sarkar is forced to play at it due to the angle. He pokes at it away from his body. The outside edge flies low towards second slip, where Brian Bennett dives to his right and holds a neat catch. Bangladesh are 47/1, chasing 272 runs.

Wide! Far outside off, beyond the tramline. No one's playing that.

Back of a length, on off, Shanto knocks it to the off side.

 FOUR! Excellently played! On a short of a length, around off, Tanzid camps back, rides the bounce and punches it crisply to the right of the diving cover-point fielder to pick up another boundary. His sixth so far.

 FOUR! All runs scored off boundaries by Tanzid so far as he moves to 28. Overcorrects himself, does Nyamhuri and errs it on a length, down leg. Hasan uses the pace, and a simple tickle behind to deep fine leg earns him a boundary.

FOUR! Onto it in a flash! Hits the length very hard, does Evans. Tanzid hangs back, fetches it from outside off and pulls it in front of square, over mid-wicket for a boundary. He is some fine touch out there, is Hasan.

Full and outside off, inviting the drive, but Tanzid is happy to leave.

FIVE WIDES! Oh, no! Nothing going Zimbabwe's way right now. On a fuller length, down the leg stump line. It further shapes in and beats Tanzid's attempted flick. Shoots to the right of Taylor and runs to the fence.
