- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 pocketed by the keeper! That's a terrific ball. Length ball outside off but bit of angle into the batter. Saif is caught in his crease and tries to poke at it, but the ball finds the outside edge, and Latham smartly moves to his right to grab that 0/12.1 played on! Unfortunate for Tanzid, pays the price for being tentative. Back of a length delivery outside off. Tanzid tries to ride the bounce and fend it away, but the nothing stroke takes an inside edge, bounces near his feet, and then rattles his own off stump 9/28.3 And now he's chopped it onto his stumps. Soumya was looking so good when he middled it, but there's been plenty of edges too: this one causes his demise. Was pitched back of a length, moved back into him outside off. He looked for a late dab down to backward point, but the tentativeness of the prod means the ball took his inside edge. Stumps rattled 32/342.6 taken just inside the boundary line! You could see this one coming and it does. Full ball outside off and Shanto puts all the energy he has behind him to clobber a six straight down. Comes off the toe-end, and a reverse-cup catch running behind, wonderfully executed by Smith. Shanto trods back for an important 105 221/538.1 Well then, no century today... He went way too deep into the leg side, looking to force the issue with a huge swipe over the covers. But missed this ball all ends up, with it spinning in from outside leg and thudding into his leg stump. Big revs on this ball, helped by Litton's miscalculated shuffle away from the stumps 192/447.5 around the stumps. Full on off stump. Miraz goes for a slog sweep, but doesn't have the distance behind that shot. Deep midwicket runs in and takes a simple one. Miraz goes after a cameo 256/648.1 appeal for caught! Only Latham thinks that was out. Umpire says no, bowler is confused, and the captain will review. This was a good length ball hovering around off stump, and Shoriful tried to play a late dab, and guess what, the replay suggests there was an edge to Latham! He's gone 257/748.4 length ball around off. He backs away and tries to flat-bat a shot through deep midwicket, but he's ended up slicing it. High up, and mid on runs to his left to lap that opportunity up 257/8Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL265/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.3)Did not bat: Nahid RanaFall of wickets: 1-0 (Saif Hassan, 0.2 ov), 2-9 (Tanzid Hasan, 2.1 ov), 3-32 (Soumya Sarkar, 8.3 ov), 4-192 (Litton Das, 38.1 ov), 5-221 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 42.6 ov), 6-256 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 47.5 ov), 7-257 (Shoriful Islam, 48.1 ov), 8-257 (Tanvir Islam, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Nicholls has been bounced outta here! The Fizz has been going length, outside off, length. Now he rushes this ball right at him. Nicholls is caught off guard by the pace and plays a weak hack at it. Takes the top edge and flies right into the keeper's mitts 8/125.2 Kelly has given it up! He's absolutely devastated at the crease. Great slower 'un outside off, tempts him with the room. He goes a huge cut away from his body, almost falls over, while the ball is caught at cover. Walks, slowly, off the ground 108/413.3 short and wide outside off. Young wants to cut, but the pace (146kph) skids the ball through and Young gets an edge to the keeper. Bottom-edge, enough pace to carry to the gloveman. 54/216.5 Latham falls for 5! Full on middle, and Latham gets low to sweep - a shot he's very comfortable with - but he gets an top edge and the ball swirls in the air before landing in Shoriful's hands at short fine leg 61/329.5 And now he's sliced this right into the stumps! The mindset was right, but he was losing his shape. Took his eyes off the ball as he jumped at this ball, from back of a length, and into his willow. Under-edge rattles the stumps 124/544.5 Bangladesh win the ODI series 2-1! Length ball outside off. Turning in. Foxcroft tries a flat-batted six over wide long on, but doesn't have the distance. Hassan in the deep runs in, takes a catch with two hands, and ensures the ball stays in after tumbling onto the ground. Foxcroft falls for 75 and NZ are all out for 210. 210/1032.6 And now he's just yorked him out. We might have a generational talent on our hands here. 148.6 clicks this time around, perfect delivery that beats Clarkson for pace and rattles his stumps, past the flick 137/635.5 A generational catch at short mid-wicket by Miraz! A slower 'un, 109.8 kph, pitched back of a length and rose at the batter. Went for a well-judged flick, looked to be flying past Miraz. But he put in a dive to his right, full stretch, and the ball lodges into his hands even as Miraz lands on the turf and looks around in disbelief. How did he do that? 150/737.3 Slapped straight to midwicket! Was a bouncer, kept slow off the pitch, and he mistimed that shot completely 154/839.4 And now he's rattled the stumps with a Fizzer! On a length on leg stump, angles into the off stump and past O'Rourke's swipe. Stumps broken and he's got a five-for 160/9Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL210 all out (44.5 Overs, RR: 4.68)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Henry Nicholls, 3.2 ov), 2-54 (Will Young, 13.3 ov), 3-61 (Tom Latham, 16.5 ov), 4-108 (Nick Kelly, 25.2 ov), 5-124 (Muhammad Abbas, 29.5 ov), 6-137 (Josh Clarkson, 32.6 ov), 7-150 (Nathan Smith, 35.5 ov), 8-154 (Jayden Lennox, 37.3 ov), 9-160 (Will OâRourke, 39.4 ov), 10-210 (Dean Foxcroft, 44.5 ov)
