Player of the Match

Shakib Al Hasan

124(99)&2/54(8)

That is it from Monday. The hosts come back in action on Tuesday, June 18, 2019, taking on Afghanistan in Manchester. That looks to be a one-sided game on paper but if the Afghans get on a roll, you never know. Join us at 10.30 am local (0930 GMT) for all the action from game number 24. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Bangladesh move to number 5 in the points table with 5 wins from as many games. They still seem to be away from the top four but that is mainly because of the aura of Australia, England, New Zealand and India. In this tournament, any team can beat any other (as Pakistan showed against England) and Bangladesh will be looking to relive that. West Indies drop down to 7th and are almost facing an exit, simply because of the challenges that await them next - New Zealand and India.

Victorious Bangladesh skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza, is quietly confident. He agrees that Bangladesh still have a chance to make it to the semis but also understands that the team will have to win all its remaining games. On his knee, Mash says that it is still giving him a problem and it is dodgy, which is why he did not bowl his full quota of 10 overs. Reckons that the turning point in the game was Mustafizur's double-wicket over which got rid of Hetmyer and Russell. Praises Shakib and the whole of the batting order for chipping in useful runs. Ends by further praising Liton Das given that he usually opens with the bat but today, he performed in the middle order.

West Indian skipper, Jason Holder, says that West Indies were probably 40-50 runs short. Feels that they could have been a bit more disciplined with the ball but let themselves down in the field as well. Stresses that with the bat, they started well, seeing off the first 10 overs but then just could not get any momentum. Laments the fact that they could never get quick runs at the death. On the bowling, he reckons wickets are the key in any chase and today, they did not get any. Hopes that they get more disciplined in the coming games.

SHAKIB AL HASAN HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. The superstar says he feels amazing and the wickets in the end he took was even more satisfying according to him. States he has been working on his batting and it paid off. Mentions it was a team effort, they restricted Windies to a decent total and the batters played their part. He felt he would get more time and opportunities if he bats at no. 3, before he used to come in at the 39th over or the 40th over which is not ideal for him according to him. Further adds he is working on his bowling too, he feels he is doing fine but he can do better. Stresses the next game will be tough against a strong Australian side and they will need to be at their best. Ends by saying the crowd has been fantastic and he hopes they keep supporting them.

Nothing much to talk about the West Indies' bowling. They struggled right from the first ball, perhaps even before the game started. By dropping Carlos Brathwaite, who was going to be their fifth bowler? Just Cottrell completed his quota of 10 overs. Russell bowled just 6. Gayle bowled just 2. Sad and sorry state of affairs and have to say - this West Indian team does not look like the one which played Pakistan in their opener. With the bat, they perhaps thought they had enough but with the platform they had got, 242/3 in the 40th over, they should have got to 350. Please stay tuned for the presentation.

65 vs West Indies. 61 vs West Indies. 29 vs West Indies. 50 vs Ireland. 75 vs South Africa. 64 vs New Zealand. 121 vs England. 124 today. 589 runs in his last 8 innings. 7 50-plus scores. 3 not outs. Average of 117.80. Strike rate of 101.72. The Jessore born Shakib Al Hasan is surely making everyone's heads turn. With his fifth consecutive 50-plus ODI score and fourth in this World Cup, he is making a statement, regaining his top spot in the run-getters category. He caught the West Indian attack by the horns and did not let them apply any pressure on him. The number 3 position suits him and sure enough - he averages 59.68 over there, best than any other position. The number 1 all-rounder just strut his stuff. Beware Australia who face him next. Beware India too.

The run chase began as if there was no pressure at all. Till this game, not even 250 was chased down in this World Cup. Bangladesh were chasing 322. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar set the tone with a 52-run opening stand and that was followed by a 69-run stand for the second wicket. Rahim's wicket then triggered the thoughts of a possible collapse but Shakib and Liton steered the ship home safely.

The Taunton crowd is stunned. But in ecstasy and joy. There are barely any West Indian supporters and the ones supporting the Tigers are crying their voices out hoarse. They have witnessed probably one of the most clinical run chases in ODI cricket, let alone a World Cup, normally associated with the likes of England, India or Australia. Today, it is Bangladesh.

51 balls left. 7 wickets in hand. An unbeaten stand of 189 in 135 balls. A centurion. Another 6 short of a century. Boy, this has been one run chase. Lo and behold. Did anyone say Bangladesh will not make it to the semis? Think again.

41.3

Shannon Gabriel To Liton Das

FOUR! Das finishes it off in style! Gabriel bowls it short and Das swivels and pulls it away from fine leg and bags a boundary. Emphatic win for Bangladesh. All smiles in their dug out. Customary handshakes taking place out in the middle. BANGLADESH HAVE CHASED DOWN 322 WITH 7 WICKETS IN HAND AND 51 BALLS TO SPARE!

Powerplay 3 has been signaled! Now 5 fielders can be placed outside the ring till the 50th over. Don't think the game would last till then.

Back of a length on middle, Shakib goes back and defends it onto the ground.

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

Back of a length around off, this is guided down to third man for one.

39.1

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

Length and outside off, this is guided down to third man for one.

38.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

FOUR! Another short ball and once again it is put away! Short and on the body, Das swivels and pulls it down to the fine leg fence.

38.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

DROPPED! Very, very difficult chance. Full and outside off, Das comes down the track and smashes it straight back. Cottrell looks to save his face, due to pure reflex action but cannot quite hang on to it. The ball deflects to the leg side but Sheldon quickly gathers himself and runs after the ball and then frustratingly kicks the air in disappointment.

38.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

Down the leg side, Das walks across and misses his flick. Not wided as he walked across his stumps.

A single to end! Full and on off, this is pushed towards mid off for one. 24 from the over, the most expensive over of this World Cup. 28 more needed.

37.5

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

EDGY FOUR! Length and around off, the ball straightens. Shakib looks to defend but the ball flies off the outside edge and down to the third man fence.

37.4

Shannon Gabriel To Liton Das

No he can't! Difficult to hit those deliveries over the rope. Very full and outside off, Das jams it through covers for one.

37.3

Shannon Gabriel To Liton Das

SIX! Three in a row! This is unreal stuff from Das. He is playing with the mind of the bowler. He expected a short one and shuffles right across. Gets it and he helps it on its way over the fine leg fence. 4 in 4? Also, the 150-run stand is up.

37.2

Shannon Gabriel To Liton Das

SIX! This is even better! WOW! Das wants to end it in a hurry here. He makes room and Gabriel bowls it full. He smashes it over the long off fence for a maximum.

37.1

Shannon Gabriel To Liton Das

SIX! Into the stands! lovely shot. A short ball by Shannon and Das is quickly onto the back foot. He pulls it high and handsome over the square leg fence. Runs needed below 50 now.

36.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

Slower one and it is very full on middle, Shakib fails to get under it and hits it on the bounce to mid on.

35.6

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

WIDE! Another bouncer and it bounces way too high. So high that Shakib tried to jump and pull it but missed it.

35.6

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

An attempted bouncer which was well over head height. The umpire has signalled a wide.

35.5

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

Overthrow! West Indies completely losing their plot here. This is worked towards fine leg. The batters take one. The ball is thrown at the bowler's head where there is no one to collect the ball, it goes down towards long on for another run.

35.4

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

In the air... and once again it lands in no man's land! Sums up the day for West Indies. Short and around off, Shakib looks to pull, the ball goes off the top edge over the bowler's head. Lands safely and the batters take two.

35.3

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

Fuller and on off, this is hit to mid off for one. Singles will do it for Bangladesh.

35.2

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

Shorter and around off, Das looks to upper cut but misses.

35.1

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

Just short! Das looks to flick but closes the face of the bat early. A soft leading edge to mid on.

A yorker, Shakib jams it out on the off side and the batters go for one. There is a direct hit at the non-striker's end but Shakib is in. He did not ground his bat but the whole of him was in.

34.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

Fuller and on middle, Al Hasan strokes it back to the bowler.

34.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

Fifty for Das now! Talk about grabbing the opportunity with both hands. He was picked in the team for this game and has made an impact. He has played as the perfect foil for Shakib. He gets to his third ODI half ton by working this length ball on middle through mid-wicket for one.

34.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

A little too straight, this is worked through mid-wicket for two. 250 up for Bangladesh.

34.1

FOUR! Hundred for Shakib! His 9th in ODIs and consecutive ones in this World Cup. Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Bangladesh's best player has delivered when his team needed him the most. A must win game and a big target to chase and Shakib has risen to the occasion. What a way to get to his ton, what a shot to get his ton! Wow! Oshane bowls this full and outside off, he creams it, absolutely creams it through covers and the ball races away to the fence. Raises his bat to soak in the applause. He would love to stay there till the end.

33.5

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

On the pads, once again, this is worked down to fine leg for one.

33.4

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

This is on middle, Das works it to mid-wicket.

33.3

Oshane Thomas To Liton Das

FOUR! Another top edge and another four! Just not West Indies' day today. Short and around off again, Das looks to whip it but the ball flies off the top edge and goes to the third man fence.

33.2

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

Shorter in length and outside off, this is cut through point for one.

33.1

32.5

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

The batsman defends it from within the crease.

32.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

SIX! The 100-run stand is up in style! This is probably the partnership which wins the game for Bangladesh. Sheldon bangs this short and outside off. Das hops and looks to cut but the ball flies off the top edge and over the third man fence.

32.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

This is on the pads, Das works it to mid-wicket.

32.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

Well fielded! Fuller and on middle, Shakib strokes it towards mid on where Gabriel seemed to have dived early but stops it in the end.

Looks like there is some issue with Sheldon Cottrell's run up. He has just mentioned that to umpire Rod Tucker. He is having some issue while running in and apparently it is a drainage lid.

32.1

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

Back of a length on off, this is pushed through covers for one.

31.5

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

FOUR! Lovely shot! A high risk shot as it is against the turn. Full and around off, Das plants his front foot forward and strokes it through wide mid off for a boundary.

31.4

Chris Gayle To Shakib Al Hasan

That has turned! Pitched outside off, it turns away sharply. Beats the outside edge of Shakib's bat and also misses the keeper's glove. A bye taken.

31.3

Chris Gayle To Shakib Al Hasan

Shorter and outside off, this is slapped through covers for two.

31.2

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

Floated on middle, this is eased through mid on for one.

31.1

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

FOUR! Nicely played! Picked his spot to perfection. Das comes down the track and chips it over mid-wicket, no one in the deep and the ball races away to the fence.

There is a slight delay. Shakib is getting some treatment on his left arm. Not quite sure what has happened. Might be cramps.

30.4

Jason Holder To Shakib Al Hasan

Outside off, Shakib waits and then dabs it behind point for a run.

30.3

Jason Holder To Shakib Al Hasan

Nicely tucks this through mid-wicket and runs hard for the second. Moves into the 90s, does Shakib.

30.2

Jason Holder To Liton Das

JUST OVER! West Indies desperately need a wicket and Holder almost provides that. A length ball outside off, Das looks to play the pull, but then checks his shot. It ends up being a short-arm jab and just lobs over mid on. Oshane Thomas has to cover some ground from mid on running back, but the batsmen take just a single.

30.1

Jason Holder To Liton Das

A length ball outside off, Das looks to work it to the leg side but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads.

29.4

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

Das strokes this full ball down to long on for one.

29.4

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

FIVE WIDES! The third of the innings! This is down the leg side, Das lets it be. The keeper fails to collect it and it races to the fence.

29.3

Chris Gayle To Shakib Al Hasan

Floats it around middle, this is eased down to long on for one.

29.2

Chris Gayle To Shakib Al Hasan

Very full and on off, this is jammed out to mid off.

29.1

Chris Gayle To Liton Das

This is on the pads, it is worked through square leg for one.

Chris Gayle has the ball in his hand at the moment. The umpires though are not happy about something. Maybe with the fact that Russell is continuously going off the field. They have asked Fabien Allen to go back and Russell to come onto the field.

DRINKS BREAK.

28.5

Jason Holder To Liton Das

Soft leading edge! Back of a length on off, Das looks to work it on the leg side but gets a leading edge towards mid off.

28.4

Jason Holder To Shakib Al Hasan

NOT OUT! Hope never collected the ball! Not sure why they went up and not sure why Shai appealed. This is worked towards mid-wicket and the batters take one. Liton starts off for a second but is sent back by Shakib. The mid-wicket fielder gets to the ball and then fires it to the keeper. Liton seems to have dislodged the bails and then there is an appeal. Replays roll in and they show that Hope did not have the ball in his gloves and even if he had, Das was in with a dive.

Third umpire in play! Is Das run out?

28.3

Jason Holder To Shakib Al Hasan

TOP EDGE AND FOUR! Shakib continues riding his luck. Shorter in length and on off, Shakib looks to pull but gets a top edge over the keeper's head. No fielder there and a boundary results. Also, with that boundary, he is now once again the leading run scorer of the Tournament.

28.2

Jason Holder To Liton Das

Liton waits for the ball to come to him and then guides it down to third man for one.

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! Make that three boundaries in the over! Short and on middle, bounces at a good height for Shakib. He pulls it through mid-wicket and it races away.

27.4

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! Poor ball this time, easy pickings! Down the leg side and Shakib helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. Second boundary in the over.

27.3

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

Shortish and outside off, Shakib cuts it hard to point.

27.2

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

A perfect fast bowler's response! It is short and on middle, Shakib ducks under it.

27.1

Shannon Gabriel To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! Another excellent shot! Shakib has played the most difficult shot in the game, the on-drive. Length and on middle, Shakib shows the full face of the bat and strokes it down to the long on fence. Another 50-run stand up for Bangladesh. Important one as the two joined association when Bangladesh had lost a couple of wickets quickly. They need to continue though.

FIVE WIDES! Way too short again and this takes off after pitching. Das looks to upper cut it but the ball bounces over the bat and over the keeper's glove. Spoils the over completely.

24.5

Andre Russell To Shakib Al Hasan

Short again, Shakib pulls it, does not get it right off the middle but towards deep square leg for one.

22.5

Andre Russell To Shakib Al Hasan

In the air... and it lands in between two fielders! Russell can't believe it as he walks back in disgust. Shakib continues riding his luck. A good short one outside off, Shakib looks to drag his pull but only gets a top edge. It goes towards fine leg. Hope turns and runs after it. Shannon Gabriel at fine leg, is late to set off. In the end, it lands in between the two and the batters take one. Poor from Gabriel, it was surely an easier catch for him. He must have thought the keeper had it covered. This could prove costly.

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

21.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

In the air... but short! Heart in the mouth moment for Shakib and Bangladesh. This is short and on the body. Shakib looks to pull but gets it off the higher portion. It flies towards Hetmyer at deep square leg who runs across to his left but the ball lands short. It hits his thigh and stops and a single is taken.

21.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Liton Das

A misfield by Gayle and a run! Slower one around off, Das guides it towards widish first slip where Gayle fails to stop it cleanly and concedes a run.

20.3

Andre Russell To Shakib Al Hasan

On the pads, this is flicked through square leg for one.

20.2

Andre Russell To Liton Das

Good length and outside off, this is guided down to third man for one.

20.1

Andre Russell To Shakib Al Hasan

Fifty for Shakib! He holds the key for his side here. Needs to score a big one. His 45th in ODIs and his golden patch in this World Cup continues. It is his 4th successive 50-plus score in this World Cup. Russell bowls it on the pads, Shakib works it to fine leg and takes one.

Andre Russell is back on! 3-0-23-1 so far. He is certainly not 100 percent. Comes jogging in, then bails out. Goes for another jog and tests his hamstring and knee. Here he comes again...

19.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

BEATEN! Length and outside off, Shakib goes after it loosly and away from the body and gets beaten.

Oshane Thomas To Mushfiqur Rahim OUT!

OUT! Rahim is caught down the leg side! A soft, soft dismissal and he looks to the heavens as he walks back. He should be very disappointed with himself. It is a harmless delivery, down the leg side. Rahim looks to flick but it goes off the face and straight into the mitts of Hope who takes it. Two wickets in quick succession for West Indies and they are right back in the game. 189 more needed in 186.

18.5

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

Shorter and outside off, Shakib guides it down to third man for one.

18.4

Oshane Thomas To Mushfiqur Rahim

Well bowled! Does not get the execution perfectly right but still a good ball. He looks for a yorker but ends up bowling a low full toss. It tails away. Rahim looks to put bat on ball but the ball goes off the outer half through covers for one.

18.3

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib is not pleased with the two boundaries in the over! He wants another. Hops and looks to slash at a delivery wide outside off. He gets an outside edge which goes on the bounce to third man for one.

18.2

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! Lovely placement! Slightly shorter and outside off, Shakib cuts it past point and away from third man. Second boundary in the over. Poor from Thomas, West Indies would have sensed an opportunity to pull things back after the wicket but once again the pressure has been released.

18.2

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

WIDE. Landed outside off, angling away, Al Hasan throws his bat at it but misses it by a furlong.

18.1

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! What a shot! Short of a length outside off, Shakib gets on top of the bounce and cuts it in front of point for a boundary! 197 more needed from 191 balls.

Mushfiqur Rahim walks in at number 4, replacing Tamim. Bangladesh are well-placed in this chase but still over 200 runs are required. A couple of quick wickets and you never know...

17.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal OUT!

OUT! Tamim is short! Sheldon Cottrell has provided something outstanding. West Indies needed some spark and Cottrell may have just provided it. He goes full and on middle, Tamim strokes it back to the bowler and sets off for a run. Sheldon sticks his left hand out and fields the ball. Seeing that Tamim stops. Sheldon fires the throw to the keeper's end and hits the bull's eye. Tamim looks to get back in with a dive. The players appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show Tamim is short. He walks back disappointed as a run out was probably the only way he could have got out. He was playing so well. However, a very good innings and a top partnership comes to an end.

Is Tamim gone? Big moment in the game! Has Sheldon Cottrell pulled off something brilliant?

17.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Shakib Al Hasan

On off, this is driven through covers for one.

17.1

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

It's been driven superbly through the covers. They pick up a single.

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

FOUR! Short ball and on middle, Shakib gets on top of the bounce and pulls it over the mid-wicket fielder and bags a boundary.

16.2

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

That shot is not needed! Short and outside off, Shakib does go after it but misses. He was looking to play at that way away from his body. Risky.

16.1

Oshane Thomas To Shakib Al Hasan

Length and around off, this is pushed through covers where Gayle dives to his right but fails to stop. Two taken.

DRINKS! Bangladesh are motoring along quite well here! Their openers started off nicely, Sarkar did fall but Shakib has come out all guns blazing. They are way ahead of the run rate required and all they need now is some sensible batting. The West Indian players look like they have ran out of ideas. Their short ball bowling has not worked and all of a sudden the bowling does not look threatening. They need someone to put their hand up and provide the magic or the game will soon slip out of their hands.

10.4

Andre Russell To Tamim Iqbal

A short ball, Iqbal goes hammer and tongs and just about clears short mid-wicket. Gets a couple. Are Bangladesh playing for the rain?

Shakib Al Hasan walks in at number 3, replacing Sarkar.

8.2

Andre Russell To Soumya Sarkar OUT!

OUT! Russell gets his revenge! A much-needed wicket for West Indies. The high-flying opening stand has been cut short. Russell goes short again but this is on the body. Sarkar looks to guide it down to third man. He has been doing it so well till now but this time misreads the length. It is too close to the body and hence, the ball hits the higher part of the bat and lobs towards wide first slip where Gayle takes it with a theoretical dive. AR is pumped and now Windies will look to pull things back.

8.1

Andre Russell To Soumya Sarkar

SIX! What a shot! Outrageous! Short and outside off, Sarkar throws everything at it. It flies over the third man fence for a biggie. 50 up for Bangladesh, they are off to a flier.

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Another couple to end the over! Short and on middle, Tamim pulls it through mid-wicket and two is taken.

7.5

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Good shot and well fielded! Back of a length on off, Tamim gets on top of the bounce and pushes it towards cover. The fielder dives and makes a half-stop. The batters take two as mid off does the mopping up job.

7.4

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

Once again Sarkar calmly guides it towards point. The fielder there dives over the ball and a run is taken.

7.3

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

Shorter on off, it is kept out.

7.2

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Back of a length on off, Tamim guides it towards third man where Sheldon is busy putting on his jacket. He then realizes that the ball is coming towards him, lets it hang around his neck and fields the ball. A single taken.

7.1

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Back of a length on off, Tamim taps it towards cover and wants one but is sent back.

Tamim pulls out right at the end! Not sure what the reason was. Holder will have to reload now.

6.4

Andre Russell To Soumya Sarkar

On the shorter side and outside off, Sarkar throws his bat at it but ends up chopping it to the keeper.

6.3

Andre Russell To Soumya Sarkar

Goes short and Sarkar may have been expecting it. He arches and tries to upper cut but misses.

6.2

Andre Russell To Tamim Iqbal

Another short ball, slashed down to third man for a single.

6.1

Andre Russell To Soumya Sarkar

A short ball to begin, Sarkar backs away and punches it behind point for a single.

First bowling change. An early one. Andre Russell has been given the ball. The Windies are a bowler light today, with Brathwaite not playing. Will Russell bowl 10 overs? Will Gayle roll his arm over?

5.6

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

WIDE! Down the leg side, Tamim misses the flick and it has been wided.

5.5

4.6

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

A boundary saved there! A dot to end the over. Short and outside off, this is slapped hard but towards cover-point where the fielder sticks his left hand out and stops it. A huge over for Bangladesh. 18 from it.

4.5

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

Sensible batting! Does nothing silly and just clips it with the angle through square leg for one.

4.5

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

FIVE WIDES! 17 from the first four balls! All the pressure built in the last over by Holder has been let off. Short, very short actually. It bounces way above the batsman's head and over the keeper's glove for a boundary.

4.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Bowls it on the pads again, this is worked through square leg for one.

4.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

Lovely batting! Just uses the pace of the bowler and guides it down towards third man. The fielder there runs to his right, dives and saves three for his side.

4.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

FOUR! 10 from the first two balls of the over! This is a poor ball. Down the leg side, Sarkar works it fine and the ball races to the fence.

4.1

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

SIX! That is out of here! He has nailed that! Slightly short and on middle, Sarkar picks the length early, he is on the front foot as he pulls it but gets proper connection and sends it over the mid-wicket stand. First of the innings!

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Well bowled and well played! Goes fuller again around off, the ball shapes in again. Tamim is ready for it this time as he defends it back towards the bowler. Holder collects it and first mimes of throwing it at the bowler's end and then at the batsman's end.

3.5

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Length again and on off, Tamim goes back and pushes it to covers.

3.4

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Hits the length hard on off, Tamim defends it onto the ground.

3.3

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Another lovely delivery! Starts this from outside off and then gets it to come back in a long way. Tamim looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout but that is missing leg.

3.2

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Comes from around the wicket and bangs it short. Tamim hops and defends it onto the ground.

3.1

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

Back of a length on off, Sarkar guides it past point and gully for one.

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Goes back to bowling on a length! Tamim pushes it back towards the bowler who deflects it to mid on. Tamim thinks of a run but then says no. A very testing over by Cottrell comes to an end.

2.5

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

And he does go short! Tamim though was ready for it. He takes on the challenge of pulling it but mistimes it through mid-wicket for two.

2.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

Another full one on the pads, Sarkar looks to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball rolls on the leg side and a run is taken. Been full in this over till now, probably a short one coming up.

2.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Soumya Sarkar

Another beauty! Sheldon is troubling the batters with the away swing. Length again around off, this one goes away late. Sarkar is squared up as he tries to defend and gets beaten.

2.2

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Another leading edge! This is full and on the pads, shapes away again. Tamim closes the face of the bat a touch early and gets a leading edge down to third man for one. Tamim is lucky there, that could have gone anywhere.

2.1

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Well bowled! Goes fuller and this one starts from the leg pole. It shapes away. Tamim closes the face of the bat early and gets a soft leading edge to the bowler.

FOUR! Up and over! Lovely shot by Sarkar. It is slightly fuller on off, Sarkar nonchalantly lofts it over covers and the ball races away to the fence. Spoils the over.

1.5

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

Sarkar now looks to guide it down to third man but can't get it past gully.

1.4

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

Back of a length on off, Tamim guides it down to third man for one.

1.3

Jason Holder To Tamim Iqbal

A huge shout but the umpire shakes his head! That was a peach of a delivery. This is Holder's strength. He swings the new ball, he should not be bowling it short but should be getting it up there. Lands this on the fuller side and this one comes back in sharply after pitching on leg. Tamim fails to adjust to the inswing. The ball hits him high on the pad. Hope takes it with a dive to his right. Holder is appealing but the umpire shakes his head. Holder then looks at Hope who indicates it is high. Rightly so as Hawk Eye confirms the same.

1.2

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

In the air... and just away from third man! Another short one outside off, Sarkar guides it uppishly towards third man who runs to his left but can't get to it. A single taken.

1.1

Jason Holder To Soumya Sarkar

Short and outside off, Sarkar throws his bat at it but gets beaten. SS needs no sighters.

Jason Holder to bowl with the second new ball.

Better nut to end the over! Length and around off, Tamim keeps it out. 5 from the first over then.

0.5

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

FOUR! Stand and deliver! That is some shot to get off the mark. It is a length ball and there is width on offer outside off. Tamim strokes it on the up and through covers. No stopping that and the ball races away. First of the chase.

0.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Another bumper, this is well-directed. Tamim spots it early and ducks under it.

Goes fuller this time but the line is way outside off, left alone.

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Short again on middle, Tamim hops and defends it.

Bangladesh are underway, courtesy an extra! Short and it goes way above the batsman's head. Wided.

Sheldon Cottrell To Tamim Iqbal

Starts off with a short one and around off, moves away further. Tamim lets it go.

We are back for the chase! The West Indies team are out in a huddle. They now make their way out now. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar are the openers for Bangladesh. Sheldon Cottrell has the first new ball in hand. Here we go...
